How does a poem begin?
All my poems thus far have been products of a deeply personal urgency. I am not a prolific writer, nor do I aspire to be; I just want to share what I believe to be essential—nothing more, nothing less. Writing, for me, is the place I go when I’ve had a trajectory-altering experience and there’s something about it I feel I must find the language for in order to transmit it or what I learned from it to others, in the hopes it may help them along in their journey.
