This Is My Poetry: A Metacognitive Kickback

Theme: "Reflections & Projections". What were your most potent poetry moments last year? What are your goals for your work now?

Bring: 1) A piece from another writer - an old fave or somn'/somebody you discovered last year that sets you on fire. What does it contain that you want to achieve in your own writing? 2) A piece of your own - an old fave or somn' you wrote more recently that you think reps your best work. What elements make it your best?
