When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?
I return to Anne Carson’s Autobiography of Red. Specifically, the chapter “RED MEAT: FRAGMENTS OF STESICHOROS.” I return to it because it reminds me of two of my favorite things about reading and writing poetry:
1. Breaking down conventional language to reveal new modes of seeing and feeling
2. Building mythologies out of the everyday
