Neil Surkan : part three

What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?

Shelving a sense of purpose, a specific idea to say. If I go in wanting to do or say a particular thing, I’m doomed. What I find most difficult about writing poems is also what I find most difficult about living: the relinquishment of control over the outcome. 

For me, letting go is the discipline.
