at a poetry reading yestarday afternoon, a poet confessed to loosing seven years of poetry when her computer crashed.
my notebooks contain sketches and drafts. composing poems in analog form first is how i begin the process. entering the content into my mac is considered part of the revision process.not that i’m gloating. notebooks can be easily lost, misplaced or stolen.
still, i suspect yesterday’s prizing-winning poet uses a pc.
