There’s a great pleasure in – I wouldn’t say ease, but maybe kind of a fascinated ease that accompanies the actual writing of the poem. I find it very difficult to get started.

It should contribute to the progress of the poem. And that the ending of the line is a way of turning the reader’s attention back into the interior of the poem.

I swim back and forth in the echoing blackness. I sing a love song as well as I can, lost for a while in the home of the rain.

The listener doesn’t have time to deploy what I call their ‘poetry deflector shields’ that were installed in high school – there’s little time to resist the poem.

That’s the main way. We think, not just in sentences the way prose writers do but also in lines. So we’re doing these two things at the same time.
