Suggestions welcome. :-) Are there any poets in the house?
So I’ve started really…
So I've started really working on the poetry chapbook. Which is weird, because I've never taken my poetry seriously before, and I don't know how to go about it. I haven't studied poetry in a very long time, and even when I did, I didn't think about it very hard. I don't know how to revise these poems. I don't have a group that's used to critiquing poetry (although I have faith that my local group will take a shot at it if asked). But I am liking the idea of juxtaposing these poems about love and children and gardening and house holding and war. Is that too many things to juxtapose? I don't know. I'm not even sure how to start thinking about it. But I suppose that's not an excuse not to try.
