Critical Commentary (Week 6)

With each passing visit from a poet, I'm starting to learn more about the creative process after college. How work gets created, how someone could start to enter this world and be received. I guess I didn't really know how to ask such questions like "Is it possible to have poetry that's also oral be included in this journal?" Or how to go about including performance poetry into a a journal, as stupid as those sound in my head, I can't think but ask because on a deeper level of poetry. There are people like myself who probably want to be included into a journal but haven't received training and the understanding of form and for those who have, who do we go to? Learning from people who have practiced form is cool, but poet-wise who has proficiency in both worlds (if they are separate or just intertwined at the pen) and how do they practice. If there isn't such an avenue is it possible to open one up, scary thought I guess. This wasn't to say that I didn't take something from the conversation we had today with Mr Veach, just something that was sitting in my mind after we finished discussion.
