Craig Santos Perez : part two

How do you know when a poem is finished?

Instead of trying to know when a poem is finished, I prefer to experiment with different types of endings. Sometimes a poem ends in a declarative epiphany and sometimes in a question. Sometimes a poem ends in clarity and sometimes in ambiguity. Sometimes a poem ends where it began and sometimes a poem ends in a new beginning. Sometime the poem closes and sometimes it opens.
