DIALOGUES
Writing is a conversation between the self and the world. We write to enter
that conversation. We also write to articulate ideas, and sometimes we need
to reconfigure our relationships with language to do that; other times we
don’t. I’m a poet first, I think, and I try to bring a poet’s
sensibility to all my writing. Recently, I’ve been interested in how
a genre might expand to include conventions and inventions from other traditions
(and ones newly formed) to create something entirely new but familiar. Language
is changing; my students declare. Language is music; my songwriting keeps
nagging. Language is art; alphabets remind me.
