Simplicity in Poetry

[rowens]

I prefer complex poetry. But you can take a class in Complex Poetry and come out writing complex poetry. It's not as impressive. I prefer solitary reading and personal epiphanies and outbursts. I'm not against reading everyone and everything. I just prefer no guidelines when I'm reading and writing. I want to be attracted and repulsed on my own, based on my own levels of understanding, for good or for ill. There's no literary establishment I'm rebelling against, or trying to buddy up with or impress. If I don't write well nobody will want to read what I write. But I write as though they will.
