How do you find a poem? 

Are there instructions?

For María José Ferrada, author of The Space Between the Leaves of Grass, yes. According to her, the secret lies in connecting with everything around us. More than that: you have to experience the world. When you look at an orange, it's not enough to use your eyes. Your nose and hands need to be there too. And you have to look at the fruit once, twice, three times, seven times. When you blow soap bubbles out of the window, watch as they disappear. Notice the winter poetry that emerges on stormy nights. Collecting raindrops.

By helping us find a poem, the author has already placed us inside one.
