How can I write introspective poetry that avoids sounding overly self-indulgent?
I've been experimenting with introspective poetry lately, exploring themes like solitude, personal growth, and emotional clarity. However, I’m concerned that some of my writing may come across as overly self-absorbed or melodramatic. What are some techniques or stylistic choices that can help maintain emotional authenticity without alienating the reader? Any tips on tone, structure, or examples from poets who balance this well would be greatly appreciated.
