“A longing grows to return to the open composition in which the accidents and imperfections of speech might awake intimations of human being… There is a natural mystery in poetry. We do not understand all that we render up to understanding… I study what I write as I study out any mystery. A poem, mine or another's, is an occult document, a body awaiting vivisection, analysis, X-rays.” #robertduncan #american #poet #deathanniversary #practicedyjng https://www.instagram.com/p/B8GmENoBT5N/?igshid=1tzatrvun9bws
