How does your work first enter the world? Do you have a social group or writers group that you work ideas and poems with?
I read it aloud to my husband first. If it still feels rough I work on it some more. After that, I share it with my wildly talented, multi-genre, writing group. They give the best notes and encouragement. I also exchange poems with other poets via email or in person. Before I send anything out into the world, I have my husband read it. That’s the real test. His ear is more forgiving than his eye.
