Because

 
this is the public 
domain, at last, which 
is death, which is when they can look 
you up, and you can't look back. All 

 
our secrets gushed 
up all over the internet.

POEMS 

I like to think that I've thought about craft so much that it just miraculously thinks of itself while I'm writing. But, in truth, I do think a lot about it when I revise, and much more so when I write short poems. For a long time I just avoided short poems because I was too self-conscious about craft to dare go out in public wearing so few words. Now I'm finding the challenge and art in poetry to be in whittling.
