Young Poets
Write as you will
In whatever style you like
Too much blood has run under the bridge
To go on believing
That only one road is right.
In poetry everything is permitted.
With only this condition of course,
You have to improve the blank page.
—Nicanor Parra, Poems and Antipoems (New Directions, 1966), trans. by Miller Williams.
