Abstract
My creative project and accompanying analysis stem from a longstanding affinity for the • composition of poetry and a more recent interest in the methods that motivate the craft. This • interest arose from a series of interviews I conducted with visiting poets throughout the 2009-10 school year, as part of an internship with LandEscapes Literary and Arts Journal. In a fall 2009 . interview, poet Kate Greenstreet described the accessibility of poetry when compared to the impenetrability of other genres. "I want to read things that are broken," she said. "When I look at • the page, I feel like there's room for me there." As I spoke to each poet I began to realize that I, too, find a niche for scholarship and creative expression in the poetic sphere.
