What do you feel poetry can accomplish that other forms can’t?
As a reader of poetry, I appreciate the way a poem can pull the curtain back on anything that exists in our internal and external worlds and reveal something that the poem has made space for. Poems magnify. They are concentrated. Poems are places for me to transfer very specific thoughts, ideas, impressions. A poem doesn’t flinch; it lives under its own pressure. There’s something delicious and dangerous about that.
