Poets on Craft is an educational series of essays by poets about how they each approach their artistic craft and writing process from a practical standpoint, and I’m very happy to have my own essay appear alongside one by the incredible Rebecca Schumejda. My essay focuses on how narrative can play a role in poetry, even if it’s hidden behind layered metaphors and alternating styles/POVs. Having started out as a fiction writer, the ability to tell a story has remained vital even as I have shifted into poetry. Our essays are posted over at Cultural Daily, and they were compiled by another great poet and educator, Bunkong Tuon. There’s a lot there for young poets to explore, so I encourage you to take a look and explore the site! Thanks for all the support!
