i think experiment is worthy; but doing something that has already been done and calling it 'experiment' simply means a writer hasnt done the research; if i build a telephone out of scraps tomorrow, it would be impressive, but i couldnt then announce myself as the inventor of the telephone,
Late to the party, I know. Still, this strikes a chord with me as a beginning writer coming back to the craft after living a whole other life. What do I have to say that has not already been said, and said so well? Time will tell whether my literary voice emerges unique and worthy.
excellent. also writers are rewarded for repeating their successes so why experiment? and once a successful "experimental" poet, why experiment?
