I talk about poems that shake me awake, detach me from my shadow, and let me fly into the sky. And the reasons (perhaps) why they do this. It’s been said when writing, “say it straight and make it great”. But the best lines are when they’re said straight, and don’t need to be made great. My favourite poems are often this way.
