De onde vem um poema? / Where does a poem come from?

 

 Joseph Severn (1793-1872)

 

"A poem can come out of something seen, something overheard, listening to music, an article in a newspaper, a book, a combination of all these…There’s a kind of emotional release that I then find in the act of writing the poem. It’s not, ‘I’m now going to sit down and write a poem about this.’"

Adrienne Rich
