Minimalism, Creative Writing, and The Reader/Writer Connection

Abstract

I begin this chapter with a short poem of my own that I have given the unimpressive title of “Untitled.” I agree that it feels lazy when writers do this. In fact, I hate when writers do this. Why couldn’t the author or poet take the time to craft some sort of title, at least any sort of title, in order to make the poem feel finished? Titles have uses after all.
