Joel Robert Ferguson : part two

How do you know when a poem is finished?

I’m not certain if I believe a poem is ever entirely done. I really enjoy the process of editing my work, going over every poem dozens of times (sometimes over the course of several years) and making corrections, changes, trying new things with lines, style, word choice etc. Even when a poem is published, I will still come back to it and play around with it, letting it grow and change as I do as a writer.
