Everything is form-fitting, exciting, functional, and healthy. It’s a liberating feeling. It feels pre-destined, and it makes me excited for 29 and beyond! 000

Simon Teodulf @simonteodulf.bsky.social · 25/12/2024one of the most valuable things i learned in workshop was to rethink how "populated" a poem is. how many people & subjects are introduced - & whether the poem necessitates longer form [too often we are focused on cramming so much into a single page for the sake of format/efficiency]. 110
