The minute you decide to write a poem you are making artistic and technical decisions about rhyme and form and structure. Each one of those decisions pushes it away from the personal and makes it an artwork. If you were writing entirely personally, you would just write in that “Oh my god I’m so in love, I don’t know what to do with myself” voice. A poem moves away from you as you write it.

You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what's in your heart.

I have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywhere. The only way to write poetry is to read it.
