i do not see poetry people on anywhere dot com talking enough about michael wasson for my taste

[christina im @_christinaim]

not that, say, the suzuki method is the pinnacle of artistic pedagogy or anything (very much not) but there ARE very teachable and very learnable technical principles for writing and to pretend otherwise feels like it's just glorifying inaccessibility

[christina im @_christinaim]

so when and why did we as a collective decide you can only learn creative writing by "doing it." personally i find mystifying the learning process like that so unhelpful and intimidating

[christina im @_christinaim]

like why is it that for classical music we have systematic and sequential ways to teach people the basic technical groundwork from a young age in an approachable and habit forming way but for writing you just "have to write a book to figure out how to write a book"

so neat to experience a writer's / artist's / musician's early work and then check back in on what they do later. to chart how the same images and obsessions and questions follow them, to see them change their mind, to make a whole life out of circling the same deep wells
