This week, Wild Violet’s contributors examine the challenging, sometimes painful, and ultimately rewarding process of writing.
“The Poem in My” by David James imagines the bodily origins of different kinds of poetry.
“Coleridges” by Bradley Morewood depicts the tantalizingly ephemeral nature of poetic inspiration.
“Caesura” by Marilyn Ringer explores the way spaces in poetry make meaning.
