Charlotte Newbury : part four

Has your consideration of poetry changed since you began?

Definitely. At the start, at school, I thought every poem had to be making some hugely groundbreaking argument. Then when I started to write I inserted myself into every poem until they were basically just diary entries with line breaks. Now I only include either of the above if they work for it in the poem. I enjoy experimenting with different voices and using those voices to say different things, and I especially enjoy the revelation that the little things sometimes are the hugely groundbreaking ones.
