Compression: Howie Good
“One of the defining characteristics of poetry for me is that it suggests a lot with a little. Prose can be discursive, but I see poetry as the most concentrated form of literary expression. It’s the difference, if you will, between the spread of a shotgun blast and the precision of a rifle shot. I am attracted to prose poetry in part because it can exploit this difference. A prose poem looks like prose, but acts like poetry, beautiful in its ambiguity” — Howie Good
