Very often for me, the early drafts are
a way to discover what the important information about the poem might be,
and the first possible steps toward its shape, which will then begin to answer
questions on how and where I break my lines.-

"My own experience as a Black woman writer is one most cata-
lyzed by grief; an old grief, and old familiar knowing. Writing for me is ances-
tral. It is conjure and it is grief work. I believe that I inherited the memories of
the folks who preceded me; the ones from whom I borrow blood and bone. The
folks whose names are lost to me but who show up nonetheless when I look." - Dominique Christina.
