More on Writing
What Interests Me
- the relationship of form and content
- short forms, particularly the prose poem
- the journal as both private and public form
- further, the transformation of private to public writing
- memory and the transformation of memory in and through writing
- the intersection of human experience with fairy tale, myth, and archetype
- how dreams make meaning and how to replicate this in texts
- punctuation as a tool for creating intended meaning
- the possibilities of erasure as a construction tool
- how song undermines syllabic stress and how to achieve this in written work
- beginnings and endings
In other words -- meaning and how meaning is and can be made.
The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say,
but what we are unable to say. (Anais Nin)
