Authentic Form Through Unexpected Breaks

The speaker finds that consciously focusing on form can hinder their work as it might sound forced on the page. Drawing inspiration from their childhood experiences in a church, specifically the rhythmic readings of Psalms and other passages, they aim for authenticity in their form similar to Dickinson's style. The speaker likes to enjamb expected line endings, sometimes creating awkwardness deliberately to dig deeper beneath conventional ideas. By breaking lines in unexpected ways, they strive to achieve a more profound and impactful form, which can vary in success.
