I believe it not only applies to poetry; but to life in general. For anyone to grow they must share and cultivate their writings, no matter the format. Afterall "it is the written word that seperates us from all other species". Such a fitting quote from Peter Gizzi. I believe it not only applies to poetry; but to life in general.

But when I'm talking to individual poets when no one else is around, the thinking often gets very binary. I think that's helpful to writing. In keeping the thing narrow enough to deal with. But it does sound sooo silly (absurdly reductive), doesn't it, when we start making "raw" and "cooked"-like compares and contrasts out loud?
