Currently working on editing some poems when this poem about writing poems appeared…

PRETEND SHE’S IN A FILM

I write it first person
to get the truth out.

When I finish it stings like palmed nettles.
Air judders from my lungs
as I push my chair back
but I can’t take my eyes off the words.

Let’s make her she
watch her from a distance
pretend she’s in a film
and wait for that happy ending.

It’s sneaky too. Sometimes it slips right past you.

That’s a great book. So many hidden surprises. I interviewed him for APR when it first came out.

Make the poem simpler or make it more complicated. That's today's revision question.

Been working on a poem about the end of garden season, then remembered the poem I wrote last Oct about the same thing, and the Oct before that... I need a new hobby.

'What we need right now is tenderness,' former poet laureate Ada Limón says

Limón's work documents everything from kingfisher birds to the cosmos itself. "I'm embracing my strangeness," she says of her poetry. Her new collection is Startlement.
