Lauren Tess : part four

How important is music to your poetry?

My first response was that it’s not very important at all, since I don’t often listen to music. But then I realized that whenever my inner monologue is briefly silent, a tune is playing in my mind. So the only respite I have from words is music, and vice versa. I should meditate I guess. I also really enjoy the musicality of words, their sound and rhythm. I like to push against indulging that enjoyment when I’m writing.
