[/ID: tweets by @/chenchenwrites, saying: “one of my pet peeves is the belief that a poem is just a more complicated way of saying something you could say plainly. no. at its best, every line of a poem is actually the simplest way you could say something—it's just that the something is complicated & strange & alive.

a poem inhabits its own clarity, which may be deeply mysterious but that's different from unclear. and at its best, it is an unparaphrasable clarity. it says what cannot otherwise be said—and it is an encounter with the unsayable (sometimes in the same line!)

a poem is not ornament. it is oracle. vital opening into wonder.” /end ID]
