Searching for Something: On how I write poetry.

Thank you for that perspective! I like this bit "One of the first things I do is try to remove the line i like most and rewrite the poems without it." With learning music, this is a great technique to help avoid cliche lines and guitar licks that you hear all the time. I imagine this can have the same effect in writing. I like that you are concerned with craft, it seems a good approach.
