I want to create new forms of poetry. Sure, I have been influenced by many writers who write differently than I do, whether it is in style, theme, or topics, but I respect all forms and styles of poetry. I am experimenting all the time. Each time I write, it is as if it is my first time, like I have not done it before. The poem, and the way it is put together, becomes the object I am writing about as well as the subject. The way the poem is written is part of its meaning. All of it, I feel, comes from a deep and original, and yet common, place. I write to try to understand myself and the world and to question the things we just assume to be true, but mostly I write to remember the brightness of being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibbetson Street Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47586522759319,"sku":"9780615244730","price":1206.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780615244730.webp?v=1774964387","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/b-i-c-y-c-l-e-s-c-a-n-o-e-s-d-r-u-m-s-9780615244730","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
