I was learning the craft of poetry, which really was an intensive version of what my mother had taught me all those years ago-the craft of writing as the art of thinking. Poetry aims for an economy of truth-loose and useless words must be discarded, and I found that these loose and useless words were not separate from loose and useless thoughts.
