What Sparks Poetry:
Aby Kaupang on Language as Form
"Often I have thought of Bidart’s insistence on the necessary poem as clarifying my draw to poetic architecture. One night, in looking for his specific quote (for the hundredth time), I re-read his 1983 interview with Mark Halliday and was newly drawn to the part where Bidart speaks of a 'will unbroken and in stasis' that has 'learned to refuse' what the world might easily offer." |
