Happy Saturday, folks!

Today we spoke with Kat Murphy.
How do you know how to end a poem?  

For me, a poem begins with a spark.  Something awakens the herd of imagery and words.  It rushes to my mind with no clear direction or form, but it keeps moving.  It shifts, it destroys, it shifts, it creates.  And so, when to end a poem is when a feeling of peace arises from the dust, settling.
Kat Murphy is a poet and  an intern for Frequency.
