Poetic Philosophy

Writing poetry is difficult. Being exposed is difficult.

Would or have you ever considered collaboration with someone else in writing poems? Is poetry something too personal for you, or could you imagine yourself writing a poem with someone else to express things from your inner self?

I have discussed this with many and have received different views.

Others see poetry writing as something too personal and intimate to do with others. When writing a poem you express your inner feelings and agonies; you cannot do that along with someone else.

On the other hand, it is true that most of us write poems to share at the end. And what is more, we all share similar agonies and thoughts about the major aspects of our existence; from life and death to the mundane agonies of everyday life we are all living in the same world…

And surely, participating in such a collaborative project could provide you with additional inspiration, that you could use in your own personal poetry.

What do you think?

Would you consider writing poems along with me or someone else?

Jung talked about the collective unconscious. Could that be a way to explore its inner depths and find what unites us at the end?
