With so many “main characters” across social media and not enough stories to fit them all, is it more worthwhile to be an extra in your own life?

Confessional poetry was popularised in the US in the late 50’s, early 60’s by poets like Sylvia Plath and Charles Bukowski. These days it’s how nearly everyone writes in the caption on social media – “I” this, “I” that – confessional poetry in prose form. And as a form of poetry, it’s more popular than ever.

To post or not to post. How scary can it be? Is it oversharing or providing something of value?

In this episode I talk about saying what everyone is thinking and no one is saying, And finding your creative voice by wrongfooting yourself.

We crave mystery in a world where there are more answers than questions. Detectives solve mysteries. Poets deepen the mystery. But they both operate on a similar plane. A poem is really a dossier of clues that take you right up to the door of a starless black night, and at that point you have to give yourself over to something vast and unresolved. And that’s the magic.
