More from Robert Pinsky
Poetry is a vocal art for me, not neccessarilyperformative, it might be reading to one self or recalling some lines by memory.The speaker bringing their own experience to it,changing it with their own sensibility.
The voice recognizes movements and pause, similarity and difference, recognizes and understands it in a mental and physical process.
That physical tingle, that powerful audible experience(not with poets projecting their work to an audience) but more intimate, less planned than that.
