However, he repeatedly used music as subject matter and source of information for his poems, as well as for inspiration in their sound, and he even titled a number of poems with musical terms. <BR/><BR/>Don once said that "words sometimes, through likeness to sound, become bound to one another." He also commented, in response to an interview question about the process of his poetry writing, that he usually began "with a word or phrase, perhaps even a sort of rhythm. Forgive me--I almost said musical rhythm."Edward Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09840825927726253150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746549356331646438.post-57626092584972668192008-03-09T12:04:00.000-05:002008-03-09T12:04:00.000-05:00Interestingly, here's what Don had to say about mu...Interestingly, here's what Don had to say about music and poetry:<BR/><BR/>“I can't think of any effect at all [of the study of music on his poetry]. None…I don't happen to think that poetry is—or can be—very ‘musical.’ It's a figure of speech, basically. My God, how I've heard the term misused and abused! That may be how the study of music affected me—to make me less tolerant of the kind of nonsense uttered on this score. Some even go so far as to speak of the melody of poetry. But the fact is that poetry has no melody, which involves pitch…’Musical’ when applied to poetry seems to mean approximately what ‘poetic’ means when applied to music.” <BR/><BR/>http://www.opus40.org/tadrichards/DJusticeGW.htmlTad Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138111543341593946noreply@blogger.com
