One of the many things I love about @pinholepoetry.bsky.social is the interviews they share. A great opportunity to reflect as a writer - and so much learning from the other poets I read.

Thanks for your support Hugh! ❤️ It means a lot.

“I believe you know when a poem is ready to take off – it’ll feel ready or you’ll be sick of it, or both. There’s usually no runup – apparently poems are birds, not planes.” - Piera Chen’s response to the question on revision. Love it, and her poem.

In today’s interview we hear from Piera Chen about her poem ‘Primal Cadence or Looking for Ju Jai.’ She also shares some poets she looks to for inspiration and thoughts on revision. Thanks for being part of the series Piera! pinholepoetry.ca/an-interview...
