What Sparks Poetry:
Wong May on In the Same Light
"Writing poetry or reading a poem is by nature a transgressive act.
You are transgressing a stranger’s consciousness. This stranger may be yourself.
Translating an ancient text & you are transgressing above all against Time.
When the work goes well, you are translating without acknowledging Time." |

"Luther Hughes with Tony Leuzzi"
"I do intentionally invite others into my space when I write a poem. Not their physical bodies, but their words/works. When I sit down to write a poem—and I do know when I sit down to write a poem, I do so with intention—I find poems or books and put them around/in front of me and read them."
