How important is music to your poetry?
Well, the two are very intertwined for me… my first serious forays into creativity as a teenager were self-taught musical experimentation, DIY recording, tape-trading and that sort of thing, and I think most of the little twists and turns of my creative process were born at that time. So many of those inclinations and instincts still guide how I go about things creatively: repetition/looseness, continuity/rupture, consonance/dissonance, and (probably most of all) the importance of improvisation/listening, and all it implies.
