That is a problem for which there is no easy solution--but I hope you find one, anyway.

I'm sorry that it's become hard for you to love poetry. One of the best ways for me to get out of my writing ruts is to either figure out a way to embody it... or play.

Since I'm mostly a nonfiction writer, I started to play with other forms of writing-- poetry, for me in the form of spoken word and even rap, has been a way for me to fall in love with writing yet again. Maybe a new form of poetry or experimentation-- or even queering genres and forms? Would be helpful?

Wow! This has me reflecting on what hobbies/passions I’ve given up or lost interest in 🤔

Thanks for sharing your beautiful and this (for me) unique experience 🙏🏽
