I am too distracted at the moment to truly attend to a poem, but I found this provocative quote from him while I was briefly trying, and it makes me want to come back later: <br /><br />'When asked in a 1998 interview about the formal discipline that helps him produce four- and two-line poems, Longley replied, “Was it Tennyson who said that a perfect lyric inscribes the shape of an S? That sense of a gesture, you know, the way you use your hand if you’re bowing, if you’re reaching out to shake somebody’s hand, if you’re going to stroke a cat, if you’re holding a woman’s hand to take her on to the dance floor.”'gretchenjoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.com
