of voice itself as an outer tactic, in both the physical and literary sense—all of these things in such delicate relationship, illuminating one another

So lovely to read this poem again, Tom, from such a fantastic book
Thank you

of line breaks, of the ring on a father’s hand as tether to a missing memory, of the visibility of sound via analog vs bits, of singing backstage, on-stage, latent and waiting in recorded storage, through a radio or other type of speaker —

I’ve been working on a new poem that cannot find its title and it’s making me crazy so I just need to share that for me, this is a perfectly titled poem!
for how it both enwraps and expands all the beauty offered in its course.
Here I am thinking about “Outer Tactics”:

“The memories which two people preserve of each other, even in love, are not the same. […] For between us and other people there exists a barrier of contingencies.”

(Proust, Time Regained)

Thank you for this one!

e.g. Hypnagogia

Rhyme is the public truth of language, sound paced out in the shared places, the echoes are no-one’s private property or achievement; thus any grace (truly achieved) of sound is political, part of the world of motion and place in which language is like weather, the air we breathe.

J.H. Prynne, 1968
