drown me in this soft, dwindling light —

i'd call myself a writer, but i'm merely scrambling amidst the ocean of words.

Chen Chen, from “Craft Capsule: On Becoming a Pop Star, I Mean, a Poet”

[text ID: For years I believed poetry was the only place where I could be all my selves, any self. I wrote, trying to answer the question, “How can a poem hold the myriad me’s and realms and loves and ferocities and shards and velocities—this whole multiverse that the life cannot, yet?” But can a poem do this? A book of poems? Is poetry a place? 

I am a poet because I ask poetry to do too much, and then it does it.]

I tend to be really pragmatic, but ultimately tend to be attracted to people who pull me into more spontaneity. I’ve really learned that, through surrender, the best experiences of my life have happened.
