Meditation on the Pointlessness of Poetry Yu Ouyang , 2019 single work essay
— Appears in: Westerly , vol. 64 no. 1 2019; (p. 44-52)
'What is poetry? I no longer ask such questions. Instead, every time I begin a new term with new classes on writing in English, sometimes creative writing, I tell myself and them: Forget what poetry is. Instead, write down your first poem on a blank piece of paper, in English, a language you have spent years learning.  (Introduction)
