What Sparks Poetry: Maricela Guerrero (Mexico City) on Ecopoetry Now "And this is precisely where poetry and poetic communion shelter me with hope without optimism; where, in the different languages inhabited by beings with whom I share the air and water of this planet, we come together in longing for and choosing another way of interweaving, of searching inside ourselves for new ways to reverse this disaster." |

"Ada Limón on How to Write a Poetry Collection" "Sometimes, I find old drafts and edit for months to make sure that poem will be ready to go in the book. This, for me, is the most thrilling part. To take prompts from my own work, my own life. To imagine what the book needs, is to imagine what I need, is to imagine what poem I have been avoiding or might not have written because I deemed it an unimportant image to explore. This feels like 'the real work.' The part where the book comes together, starts to take shape, starts to move as a whole living thing." via LITHUB |
