What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?
Revision! I love when poems come fully formed and need very little revision. This doesn’t always happen and of course some poems take years to come to their final form. I have many abandoned poems because of this, but also have had recent success publishing a poem that just needed to let go of its original form/pretense.
Also, I find it hard to focus on writing and submitting while also keeping up with family responsibilities and working as an instructor of Creative Writing/Poetry workshops myself.
