What I hope to accomplish in this book is to give writing prompts
that will help you to get past all the outside influences that keep
you from believing in yourself and in your ability to write. In
order to write, you need to get rid of notions about language,
poetic form, and esoteric subject matter ? all the things that the
poetry police have told you are essential if you are to write. I
wanted to start from a different place, a place controlled by
instinct rather than by intelligence. Revision, the shaping and
honing of the poem, should come later, and, in revising, care
always needs to be taken to retain the vitality and electricity of
the poem. Anyone can learn to craft a capable poem, but it is the
poems that retain that initial vitality that we remember; these are
the poems that teach us how to be human.
