Taylor Gianfrancisco : part five

How does a poem begin?

In Victoria Chang’s epistolary book, Dear Silence, she writes that a poem begins after a silence. My poems begin in the almost same fashion, but I would much rather call my silence an emptiness. When I feel like I have given up or depleted myself of everything, I write a poem to fill that emptiness.
