My teenage daughter writes beautiful love poems but won't share them with anyone, and when I try to connect with her about poetry she shuts down, even though I've been writing poetry my whole life. I want to support her artistic development but I'm worried that my enthusiasm comes across as intrusive, and we're both poets who can barely talk to each other.
