Elliptical [1]
In her book Madame X (Canarium Books, 2012), Darcie Dennigan uses ellipses throughout her poems [3], which drastically alter their shape and texture. This week, try writing your own poem that employs ellipses. Do you find yourself writing in a different rhythm or omitting more words with this tool? There is something mysterious and suggestive about ellipses, as if a truth is being hinted at but not fully revealed. Perhaps this quality has a place in your poem.
