On Death and Poetry “Very unique experiences combined with universal knowing” - Victoria Chang poetry and death go hand in hand the one thing we know in life is that we will die it is the single universal knowing that we all carry or choose to ignore with life comes death and the / knowing / that somehow, someway life ends
(or finds a way)
poetry begins with no clear beginning or end in mind / you start writing and oftentimes / there is no final ending / in sight / until / you get there just like life / you start in the unknown / with writing you have agency and control over that piece of the world / there will be plenty of time for people to judge you
( later )
life begins with no instructions and no clear end this reminder is what inspires us to write and to create
