I quickly grow obsessed with an idea for a writing project (‘25 poems that are also magic spells’ or ‘40 poems for 40 years of the Voyager mission.’) and write towards those ideas until they dead-end, but I accumulate a large batch of poems in the process. I divide those poems into mini-books of 5 or 6 each. I have 14 mini-books in my current project. I go over each mini-book until all 5 or 6 poems are of the same family. I’m halfway through this process right now, and the title is ‘Burr and Pearl.’ It will be a book about lost friends.
