How do you know when a poem is finished?
When I read it back and snort with laughter at the pure audacity of its break from lyrical norm. I view my written poetry as painting as I work on it in layers to subvert the flow, add dabs of pop culture, washes of high culture. Whereas my visual poetry...I view that as writing with words as it is created as one writes a page of notes, in one sitting and either in heavy fat waxy pigments with asemic language scraped into it or my own handmade inks with scrawl.
