You Know When You Write Poetry You Find Poem by Joanne Kyger

A profound realization, when we write we reflect the lineage of all our gurus, our influences our guiding lights our experiences.. though provoking.. thanks for sharing

This writer's short verse on writing poems was written nearly 30 years ago, I see. Hope for me yet. I do not see any 'architecture of lineage' in my teachers, friends, and other people, other things. Nor can I accept 'glue for the heart'. Maybe, we should be generous to critics, but patient enough to wait for fame. My father quoted someone's quip: Fame is a thing that dead men eat. AM

Very thoughtfully narrated in its brevity.

some glue for the heart beats- - the architecture of our lineage- - very interesting way of looking at writing
