Kay Ryan

or playing one instrument that comes from the need to breathe for oxygen, creates a lot of beautiful structure and poetic rhythm to it.

It's funny, I was just setting some poems by a wonderful poet, Kay Ryan.

I love the way she structures just the lines of her poetry, where she chooses to break the line.

You know, some of her thoughts go beyond the length of the line, but the way she just chooses to break the line and another set of words, you sort of look at that structure and start to say it or imagine the different ways that different groups of words can mean something.

Um, and, There's this wonderful concept.

I think it's K. Ryan, but I've talked about it so much I can't even remember, I think.

But comparing the ha and the aha, like that aha and that aha is like sort of sisters, like two sides of a coin somehow, you know? And so I wonder, does the humor come to you sort of naturally and you just go with it? Or what function do you think it plays in your poems?

Yeah, that's an intriguing question.
