Poetry. "...As if to leave the musical quality of composing behind and enter something made and un-made at the exact same time...came into thinking's existing on the page and into its composing.... So I discovered a way of working, a mode that harnessed the movement of the moment alongside a stillness of the thought of the lyric...residing intention, at the heart of composition.And then I blew my brains out."
