Lorna Dee On "Mammatus" and The Me And Not-Me of Poetry
on my new blog, Lorna Dice, which traces the creation of my latest poem, "Mammatus" I posted on December 23.
"So, all this to say: No! This is not a poem about me or my love life, or my loved one. It's a poem written entirely outside of my experience, which, like life, is an illusion anyway -- the illusion that we are ever apart in the first place."

All of us write poems that are outside of our own experience. It's part of the beauty and sacredness of poetry.
Hope you are doing well~
