The Shape of Her Dreaming - my response

I enjoyed this story immensely.  I've never been a huge fan of poetry.  Mostly because I don't take the time to really let it speak to me.  But I've always wondered what makes a good poet, and what makes a really great poet.  As he talked about how she got her inspiration - like the random German sentence that was so beautiful, and it inspired her to write the poem about her bed flying.  Like, that poem had nothing to do with anything.  It was just really cool, and it's what came to her in her moment of inspiration.
It makes me sad to think about how what it is like for poets who are professionals and are expected to churn out poetry books and great work under pressure.  She talked about how she couldn't just let something hit her...and then follow it.  She had to be very structured.  Which is why it was probably nice to get her writing cabin.
Still, what bothers me is that even though this is probably the best piece that will get me into the mind of a poet, there is still no way to know how she followed her inspiration to get to the words that went on the page.  I guess that's why she's great and others are not...there is really no way to know.
