“From the beginning I felt that I didn't ever want to leave the impression that the process of writing a poem is totally mysterious. I couldn't explain everything that went on in the creation of a poem, but I could try to explain as much as I knew. I thought readers deserved that. I didn't want to set myself apart as being someone special.” WantWritingTryingFeltProcessSpecialCreationReaderImpressionMysteriousSpecial Someone Author:Pattiann Rogers
“I'm all in favor of poets telling about the process as much as they can. And many do.” ProcessPoetFavors Author:Pattiann Rogers
“The poem is a process, a way for me to discover questions, to ask them clearly or to discover the results of certain suppositions. Suppositions are a form of questioning.” WayFormCertainAsksProcessResultsQuestioningSupposition Author:Pattiann Rogers
