![]() I hope to submit something with length and quality to them someday. Never satisfied, c’est moi.)Īnyway: I’ve loved at Length ever since I first read Jee Leong Koh’s ghazal sequence Barthes tribute “A Lover’s Recourse” some time back. (One worry that I do have is how I’m beginning to doubt my abilities to write in the jagged irregular-lined free verse poem I used to be comfortable in. I’ll think about these after writing more poems, whether in this form or another, as well as the critical essay. However, there may also be an advantage to spreading them out across the collection. I can put them one after the other and call it a series that would be justifiable. I don’t know how I’ll arrange these in my thesis. Finally, it’s also forcing me to think/write in shorter lines, which I wasn’t wont to do before, despite how much I enjoy reading, say, Graham Foust. That intrigues me, as it wasn’t part of the design. In addition, there’s also a commonality in the material that triggers these poems: they mostly have a specific focus on a pop-cultural artifact I barely remember or misremember (unintentionally or intentionally). ![]() Lately, I’ve been working with a particular form I’m tempted to call the singsong skinny sonnet and dismiss as hokey, but I don’t want to be ungrateful to something that’s been goading me to write more poems quickly. I want to write the long poem, but I’m not sure I can. ![]()
