One of the books I want to write is one based on these misty photos my sister took of people walking on the beach, far in the distance. In mulling this over I realize it’s been quite a long while since I actually used the whole page for a poem. I think because lately I’ve been doing a lot of prose poetry I’ve been thinking in the little blocky paragraphs. I write two ways as well—on my cellphone and by hand in notebooks. I think both lend themselves for me to write in a blocky form, or in a left aligned, break the line when it feels right way. Now that I think of it, in the past when I’ve spread the poem across the page more it’s usually been later in the process, when the writing is done and I’ve typed the poem on the computer. For this project though I think that approach of scattering the words on the page will be integral from the beginning. The photos have a very open, diffuse, ambiguous feel to them, and I think that scattering of words will be key to writing poems that respond to them.
