I love this! One of my favorite parts of a poem, after appreciating it as a full composition, is to go back and break it down -- peering through its final outer layer to see the heart within it -- so I love and am so grateful for you sharing this look inside ♥️
Maggie, some time could you talk about your poem, Good Bones? I think it's the most wonderful poem I've read (and memorized) in my whole long life. Thanks.
I love the notations! I think we all (writers, especially poets) should keep files of our poems WITH the notes so we can go back and remind ourselves of the processes in play when they were written.
I love reading and learning about the craft elements contained in this marvelous poem. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thanks for reading!
Really fun to read about the process behind your writing. Excited for more of this!
Thanks so much, Christina!

Thank you! And yes, of course, I'll be happy to talk about "Good Bones" in a future post.
god - how fun to see behind the curtain

Great idea! So much of the original process can get lost over the years if we don’t document it.
