Working Processes of a Woman Poet

Abstract

The english word poetry derives from the greek poietes, meaning to make. Prior to this ‘making’ what poetry is exists without a material reality. As a poet, it seems one might attempt to use material in such a way as to interfere not at all with the manifestation of a purely immaterial condition, one which is unfixed, does not belong only to a realm of the ‘irrational’, cannot be rationalised, and can be caught, although never possessed.
