What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?
I’ve
been writing poems for decades, since I was a child. The hardest part is still
just sitting down to do it. Writing involves sitting with my feelings,
memories, ideas, fears—my confusion, my muddle. So it can be painful and
exhausting! Also, finding the confidence to let the language loose, to let the
poem off its leash and let it go where it needs to go. To let the poem be its
own thing and somehow not mine anymore.
