Lauren Brazeal : part two


What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?

Reconciling the narrative with image and syntax. I usually find one or the other when writing a poem: either the poem has a glitzy poshed-out language but doesn’t tell the necessary story, or it’s too direct, too prose-like. Finding the intersection where gorgeous language and story meet is always the goal. I’m happy to report it never gets easier.
