Wayne Mason : part three

How important is music to your poetry?

Vastly important! As a poet and a sound artist, music and poetry have always been intertwined for me. As as someone who makes experimental music with everything from synths to pieces of scrap metal, I hear music everywhere. I hear music on the streets, I hear music in the machines at work, and I hear music in my poems… even though most of my poems are far from traditional, there is almost always a certain rhythm or musi-cality. My poems, usually born at work, are infused with the musicality of hydraulics and gears.
