Inspiration (Hailey Leithauser)

Today's poem is by Hailey Leithauser.

It's a word-filled, fun poem about the spark of inspiration. She must have had fun in writing this poem; many of the lines/images just seem to roll off the tongue or out of one's imagination.


It kind of reminds me of the poem Art by Herman Melville - in that it is quick in reading and fun with its words and that it is about creativity and the writing of poetry.

Favorite line: "Some flim-flam grand slam, glitchy / as religion, this is, with its chronic/ key-and-padlock"
