Suzanna, I so enjoyed our talk about poetry last night. Indeed...how do we know when a poem is finished? And thank you for sharing this article. You are an inspiration!

So grateful for your poetry and your perspective. My claim to poetry-writing fame is to write Haiku during boring meetings. But I’m a poetry appreciator, so I include poems in emails that go to the entire university. We need more poetry in the world, not less.

I love that! I have been known to scribble poetry lines or words in boring meetings as well... some of my best work comes from a sentence or statement that makes me sit up and go: "Oh, that's interesting!" Thank you for infusing poetry into the world.
