Isabel Sobral Campos : part two

What poets changed the way you thought about writing?

Ed Roberson teaches us about the wonders of semantic deferral. This deferral results in a surprising reconstruction of meaning – you think the line is heading in a particular direction but soon discover it both is and is not going where you expected. He’s a master of the line break and of the long line, but also of rhythmic variation. Many of his poems are oblique lyrics – flawless mixtures of the tangible and abstract.
