I can easily see why poets took to Twitter," says poet Eduardo C. Corral, whose Yale Younger Poets Prize-winning Slow Lightning was a hit in 2012 and whose second book, Guillotine, is forthcoming from Graywolf in 2020. He maintains an active presence on the platform, which he says mimics the ways poets think: "Click, click, link, link-that's something we're always doing in our heads, too, with words. We're clicking on them to see where they take us, the different pathways. I think poets intuitively know that the first hyperlink was a word itself."
