The Interview
Q.4: How important is form in your poetry?
I write without punctuation so form is essential to me as a way of giving the reader the rhythm of the poem. I am also a visual artist, for me, how the poetry looks on the page is important. I use line break, stanzas, space, and shape, to drive and guide a person through the poem.
