Not where you last saw me.
Yes, thank you, Lisa. I'm fascinated by process and how different it is for each writer and poet.

I do so love this from Eduardo C. Corral:

Revision is my favorite part of writing. Revision helps me envision other possibilities for the language on the page. I know a poem is done when I can identify three distinct pleasures: linguistic, emotional and intellectual.

So many protest poems too, finding their ways through draftafter draft. Fascinating to get a glimpse of that process.
