RE: Poetry Editing 101: Session Seven – Words Don't Grow on Trees: Full Stop
Great educational resource @damianjayclay. I am constantly trying to pare down my poetry, especially in the case of preposition use. It's a tenant of poetry for me that it should be a focused streamlining of meaning. A constant striving for the purest expression of imagery.
I agree. I'm not averse to prepositions though, especially when removing them disrupts the flow and makes the lines feel truncated.
