Thanks for sharing the process. It really is a mix of technique and gut/nerve/intuition. I'll be trying your write sober/cut tipsy approach on my next batch. Thank you for holding yourself to such a high level and taking this shit seriously. I've read a lot of half-baked, overly emotional pieces that clearly came from the writer's heart, but weren't WORKED well; I can honestly say I've never put any of your published pieces in that bucket. You're an asshole sometimes, and one of the best writer's I've encountered. Thanks for your work. I'm glad I found you.
Ain’t nothing crazy about it (writing a poem) being for the souls sake! I will copy your idea of re-reading poems after a few drinks… maybe that makes reading them more bearable (Kidding not kidding)
'The truth is, you go on your nerve which is your talent.'
"It’s also like cooking maybe. But I don’t cook. So why would I say this?"
Because you're an artist, not a craftsman
How do you find a publisher?
saving this to read while writing my first book xx

Writing and publishing poetry is like willingly leaping from a plane without a parachute and aiming your fall to land in a tree canopy.
