You and Rachel Oats have taught me so much about poetry. There is so little good advice on poetry compared to pros in genre writing.

Lately I've been having some whack experiences at night that I don't really know how to capture and express. After watching this video I begin to think that maybe a poetic form can become their vessel.

hi! i had a question regarding the usage of concrete language -- i tend to write a lot of symbolism, and metaphorical sort of poetry. especially during prose-poetry, i cannot seem to have a solid base ( imagery ) when it comes it. is there any way that i can use a concrete structure but still have the whole symbolic, metaphorical feel to my poems?

I like to try to write a lot and then go back to revise for a better version

Unpopular opinion. Music is this century's poetry

Very valuable and interesting recommendations. But next time, please publish your video with a slower rhythm of your voice. It was too fast. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
