The Great Risk

The farther I progress into graduate school, the more I worry about sharing my poetry and short stories. It's as if the struggle to attain ultimate clarity seeps into my artistic inclinations, and makes me think that vagueness (and sometimes richness) of expression is inferior to precision. Or perhaps it's the fear of sharing one's thoughts, all of one's thoughts, and one's emotions. You see, emotions often lack justification, although they typically have triggers which remain constant over (periods of) an agent's life. These inclinations are only human (all too human, at that). As such, I think it's the responsibility of an artist to give expression to that she feels--for many of us feel much the same.
