Poetics
Most days, I walk around feeling as if the world that I see, that I experience through my senses, is not the whole of itas if were all a little blind, as if theres a world behind the world and, if we could just get a little closer, see a little clearer. Reading and writing poetry feels, for me, like a way to access that veiled place.
