An alternate ending to \u201cLover of Cars.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

For our series Making of a Poem, we\u2019re asking poets to dissect the poems they’ve contributed to our pages. Olivia Sokolowski\u2019s \u201cLover of Cars<\/a>\u201d\u00a0appears in our new Fall issue, no. 245.<\/em><\/p>\n

How did writing the first draft feel to you?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been into cars since I was around fifteen and daydreaming of nineties Jaguars, but somehow, I\u2019d never written much about them. Along the I-75 last winter, noticing and cataloguing the steady stream of cars along the meridian, I decided it was time to convert my obsession into a poetic one. Prompts are normally tough for me\u2014I feel put on the spot and all my good images flee. But when I set out to write about cars, <\/i>the task-poem turned out far better than I imagined. Perhaps because the topic is so rich\u2014cars not only engage all of our senses but are also thoroughly ingrained in our cultural and personal histories. I surprised myself with the veer toward a family\/coming-of-age narrative. The more luxurious bits, like dreaming of an otherworldly Audi or joyriding through Cinque Terre, were just plain fun to write. I lived vicariously through my speaker. <\/p>\n

Who is this speaker? Do you imagine her as a character, or as kind of a pure voice? How similar is she to you, or to your voice?<\/b><\/p>\n

I call my speaker Olivia+. She draws from my life without the responsibility of fidelity, and she acts and speaks in ways that I might not. She keeps an audience in mind but doesn\u2019t expect a reply. She\u2019s my freer alter ego.<\/p>\n

Draft one.<\/p><\/div>\n

Are the cars in the poem real or fictional?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

They\u2019re all real, and many of them I feel strongly about. I see Kia Stingers everywhere and consider them good luck. A couple in a blue Tiguan frequently visited the berry farm where I worked during my college summers. The Hondas were all mine, too. I got a red Element right before my senior prom and loved every mile I drove in it. I grew up surrounded by cars in the suburbs and see them as symbols for self-expression and escape.<\/p>\n

Did you show your drafts to other writers or friends or confidants?<\/b><\/p>\n

I showed a later draft of this poem to my husband, Tom. He\u2019s my one reader and he\u2019s a good one\u2014his critiques are pretty intense, but I\u2019ve learned to love them. He said almost nothing about the draft, which was equal parts shocking, suspicious, and flattering.<\/p>\n

When did you know this poem was finished? Were you right about that? Is it finished, after all?<\/b><\/p>\n

The last hurdle for me was the poem\u2019s ending. I knew I\u2019d written what would be the ending pretty early on, but completing the poem wasn\u2019t as simple as reorganization. After all the flash, I needed it to come to an emotional simmer, like raspberries reducing to compote. The speaker was ready to make a breakthrough, and my task was to articulate her epiphany in a way that balanced the poem and sounded final. It took a lot of tweaking, pacing, and days of rolling it around in my head to feel like I\u2019d gotten there, and I was still wrong a couple times.<\/p>\n

I knew the poem was almost complete when I could read it aloud without distraction. Pace, sonics, and the accuracy of verbs are all particularly important to me. In the final stages of revision, I feel like I\u2019m lining up a very complicated combination lock\u2014when the poem is finished, it makes that satisfying click<\/i>. And then it fully opens. But I also don\u2019t think any poem is ever completely finished!<\/p>\n
