I firmly believe in the craft of poetry: by studying craft, engaging with how craft is working in a poem, or and being open to how craft could work even harder, we get to be better poets.  It's a lifelong journey.  I will always tell you first and foremost what is working well in your poems -- 'admiring what is admirable', as the poet Galway Kinnell put it.  Constructive critique has to be just that: constructive, helping the poem to realize itself and helping the poet to grow in their confidence and voice.  I believe that as poets, we teach each other: I will also learn from our poetic conversations.
