RR-Images

“We are all haunted by images, both light and dark.”
‘Magic. That’s what an image should do, produce a bit of magic, a reality so real it is ‘like being alive twice’’’
“ Poets need to keep all five senses- and possibly a few more- on continual alert, ready to translate the world through their bodies, to reinvent it in language.”
“Miles away and years later, someone-a reader- closes her eyes and experiences it.”
“images are the rendering of your bodily experience in the world; without them, your poems are going to risk being vague and imprecise, and they will fail to convey much to a reader.”
