Not all poetry is autobiographical.

even if it's written in the first person, it's not always the writer speaking from experience.

add on...

males sometimes write from a female perspective, as do females write from that of a male?

sometimes i do...
it's a totally different kind of flow too
my energy is different when i write from that perspective
it's a rare thing for me though
not something i've given alot of energy to

i've only really ever done it when i'm writing from the perspective of a group of people that involves both male and female

i've never done a piece exclusively from a male perspective

how do y'all experience it when you write from the perspective of the opposite sex...

what causes you to want to do that...

what freedoms does it allow you that your own viewpoint doesn't?


sorry...i went into psychology mode...

ezra pound, william carlos williams and other influential poets of their time joined together in a movement called Imagism. The Imagists argued for the primacy of image in poetry.

Can you expound on that a lil' bit?

poetry doesn't have to have words. there is poetry in small places that poets are fortunate enough to be able to see. we're the translators of those miracles.

poetry is a lot like the game of chess... every move should be both offensive and defensive. you want to protect you initial idea yet try and fork the readers emotion and logic...

poetry by any other name would still be poetry?
