I have to write a 250-word introduction to my poetry. How should I go about it? Third person or first? Use lines from my poetry or not? Any suggestions?
 
Don't use lines from your actual poem, but try to tie the two pieces together. You need to summarize your inspirations for writing the poem and what it means to you. Elaborate on the poem so that the reader is in the mood to read it and understands it, instead of just jumping right in, not knowing what to expect. And as far as point of view, use first person, "My inspirations for this poem spawned in....."
