Michael Maul : part four

How important is music to your poetry?

I have been a musician every bit as long as I have been a writer. And I still play old-time roots music as part of a jam band most Monday nights. (My grandfather was a professional musician who played in the orchestra pits of vaudeville shows and theatres that ran silent movies.)

So when writing, I try to read my words with my eyes and ears.  And I often end up moving the dials back and forth to achieve harmony.
