SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Bring one poem. I read it closely and send back a letter (600 to 900 words): what the poem is doing, what is alive, what is blurry, and the lines I would protect or cut. Then I read the whole poem aloud in my own voice and send the audio, slow, so it can be handed to someone. Up to about 60 lines. First look on a short poem is free before you pay. If I do not think I can help it, I will say so and you pay nothing.
