Lawrence, in the way only an experienced teacher can, reflects on the art of arranging poems in an anthology, considers the delicate balance between guidance and restraint, and explains how and why poets need to stay out of the poem’s way. Jonathan’s poem, Imagination on Eleven in Church , appears in the Summer 2026 issue of the Washington Square Review .
