I am soon traveling to Asheville to visit a friend and I’m bringing my 50+ poems with me. I want to organize them into a book. So far, I’ve put them in what a former instructor of mine calls an ‘even spread’. I’m not satisfied, though. The order seems so arbitrary. I feel like I should or can organize poems into a book with the same spirit and commitment as having organized words into a poem.

So somehow, I’m going to see all my poems. I’ll put them out on a very large, clean floor, or tape them up on a wall. I’m hoping to get some sort of insight into organizing my poems into a book by seeing them all at once.
