N2 - I’ve always loved figures of the poem as a machine for listening. A poem is a field of tempos. Poems sound out rhythms of attention and sing relations between materials that tumble and shake in time. Things endure in poetry. They remain there – given duration or lastingness – as a trace of encounters between writers and matter, mediated in “the long fall between” language and experience. This duration is deeply musical. Or rather, music has everything to do with temporality, as does poetry.
