Elisa Matvejeva : part five

How important is music to your poetry?

I don’t think I could write if music didn’t exist. I have a ritual, if you will. I feel an emotion or have an image in my head, but by listening to music, this emotion condenses into tangible words and phrases. There is something so therapeutic about music and how it forms words in my head. I guess it is because I grew up in a household where music was always playing. I guess it helps me think clearly.
