This is the greatest love of my life (and, in a sense, my career given my future MFA career, stay tuned), but you really should read more poetry in general. It's fantastic. okay yes "Instagram poetry" is en vogue hot garvage and frankly, makes me sick to my stomach, but poetry as an art form which contains and focuses experience, emotion, and attention, is one of the most profound things (ideally) we continue to produce. Poetry is, in a sense, something which moves towards a potentiality of art and writing in general in a current moment where it seems almost lacking.
What, then, can we do as poets or writers?
