“No more masks! No more mythologies!” And yet, the poem is always at some level a mask—we choose as poets what to include, what not to, from the experience that we write from, the experience of being who we are, which is ever-shifting and multifarious. The poem serves as mask behind which we find the courage to allow the fragments—our various selves—to “join in [us] with their own music.” Courage, because as the fragments unite, they can coalesce into a meaning that we might prefer to have left shattered.
