For the first few weeks of quarantine, I will be writing poems using various writing experiments that you can try at home. For instance, I’ll rip up a science book and try to write a poem from the fragments, I’ll speak and write only in questions for a day, I’ll write a “mirror” poem to an existing one, experiment with every existing form, and so on!
Experiment 1: Write a poem that reflects another poem, as in a mirror.
Day 1 in quarantine; we’re playing around with Bernadette Mayer’s “Failures in Infinitives” and writing a mirror poem.
