How important is music to your poetry?
Music in important to my (writing of) poetry only in so far as I cannot listen to music and write poetry at the same time. I always write in complete silence. Sometimes, when I’m driving and listening to the radio, for instance, or out for a run listening to a playlist, a song lyric or line will resonate with me. I’ll toss and tumble it around in my head while running or driving, reconfiguring it into a line of my own. But I’ll write it and work with it only in the silence of no music.
