Baron Wormser - Scattered Chapters: New and Selected Poems
Author Asks
My work has changed over the years. What differences do you see from the early poems (early 1980s) and the later ones (2000 on)? And what similarities?
I have a penchant for nonce form, that is, forms I create. Choose one and describe the form.
History is crucial to my work. Comment on the use of years in the titles of poems and the role of history in the poems.
Are there poems that are explicitly political? How so?
I like to work in the terrain between meter and free verse. Comment on the rhythms you notice.
Most of the time I am writing about people. How do I use detail to make a character engaging? Are there differences between a character created in a poem and one created in fiction? Does narrative in a poem function differently from narrative in a short story? Is there a similar emotional arc in a poem and a short story?
