Great Regulars: Liz B., try to remember that nothing is


really "lost" (I know, easy for me to say, right?). All the poems you wrote served to develop your skill, to bolster and train the voice that is now more than ever before ready to write poems. The old poems that you remember will be rewritten. Parts from the poems that you've forgotten will make their way into new and better poems. Isn't it kind of liberating that all your poems burned?
