Great Regulars: The emphasis here is on developing

a writing process that prioritises experience as a starting point for writing poetry, and foregrounds the materiality of language.

I want to show you how, in a poem, language can be drawn from the tangible world and turned in the imagination of the poet into artifice--a step away from experience without the loss of the trace of that primary reality.
