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 have a couple of writer friends whose opinions I value deeply. Some of my poems come into the world via emails to those poets. Other poems I can sense are the way I want them to be. Those tend to enter the world by facing editorial judgment more quickly. I’ve also become more invested in reading and performing my poems. So I will occasionally debut poems in front of an audience to see how they work in that setting. I don’t have a set routine. I go with what I feel I need for a particular poem or set of poems.
