Silence and Cutting in Poems

Silence in poems is reflected in the cutting process, where the removal of words is as crucial as the words themselves. The act of cutting in poetry is akin to sculpting, with each removed stone mirroring the significance of what remains. The upcoming book 'Wonderland' and the poem 'Minimum Wage' by the author convey profound meanings through their titles, symbolizing various concepts like sin and war. The New Yorker published the author's poem 'Declaration' on October 30th, 2017.
