A poet’s prose: the economy and voice of moving
What is it to move from writing poetry to prose? What happens to the familiar editing process, and trust in oneself? Coming to Japan to work on these problems, Sydney writer, Bonny Cassidy has begun work on a series of essays about the poetic process, and has found that a change in form can be liberating, almost as de-identifying as travel itself.
