Random Bookshelf Reading 35
Question: Today?
Answer: "Stafford's response here reflects the poetic standard he taught and lived by: Any thought or idea, not just the ones we decide are good, has the potential to lead us to a poem. A champion of the humble moments that unfurl to become poems, Stafford warns not to pull the threads too hard, or the poem will be lost." (p.68)
