Poetry

What is it to write poetry? Why do I resist it? Why do I tend to prefer full sentences and paragraphs? What would it mean to return to the poetic? And how would this take shape precisely? Through phrase fragments? Oblique, tentative and loaded observations? I am curious about returning to a mode of writing that I had imagined no longer available to me – that had gradually slipped away. Why? Because it seems to me that poetry is most oriented towards the strangeness of experience, the weird presence of things and to the terrain of intimate – yet immediately detached – feelings and thoughts.
