Ever since taking this class, I've been paying particular attention to how I format my poetry. To this end, I've also been scrutinizing how other poets structure their work. Prior to Intro, I believe a wealth of my poetry conveyed itself through bland and uninspired stanzas. I never played with line breaks or end-stops, or even thought to structure stanzas in a provocative way.
As a fiction writer, I'd say I thought with a mindset anchored by prose, though "anchored" may be heavy a term. My fiction work definitely brings a lot to the table in terms of my poetry, but not all of it is germane. Poetry definitely allows for different methods of creative finesse.
What do all of you think?
