As someone who has no previous experience in creating or even thinking about the topics that Parrish talked about in this video, I thought she did a great job in explaining and getting me interested in her work. I have spent a considerable amount of time writing myself, but fiction instead of poetry, and most definitely not procedural poetry. I have also never considered exploring nonsense, and why it's important to do so, but Parrish's analogies of exploration in the unknowns of poetry and language to the unknowns of science and space helped me understand. In a ways, I have always kind of looked down on nonsense and didn't get people who were obsessed with the random and unintelligible, but now I get why this exploration is valuable.
