I think what i will take most from this book is the way to create poems. There is a different method, a different way of composing every time. We as composers of poetry often must rewite our poems and constantly over look them. I liked the fact that he says that all new poets must not be praised, because often a feeling of wanting satisfaction drives us more.
The process I usually use for writing poetry is a rather simple one. Sometimes I sit down in front of my computer and just begin to write. Other times I will find myself either trying to sit outside my back porch, or if it is a nice day, walk down to the park. I often write my poems in notebooks but sometimes if an idea hits me i will find any peice of paper or something to write that idea down onto.

I completely agree with your thoughts about Hugo. It seems really important that people check and revise poems to make sure they get the best possible version they can.
ReplyDeleteI also scrounge around for paper and a utensil when something pops into my head. Even if its a single word
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes the best ways to write are to just sit down and just start typing.
