<tt><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I noticed your Blog entries this evening
&amp; wonder if you <span class="GramE">take<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>requests</span>. Roger Farr &amp; I are in the middle of a long
interview with Peter Inman<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>about
poetry&amp; politics &amp; we're about to ask about the exchange you had
with<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>him at his Philly Talks discussion
a couple of years ago: <o:p></o:p></span></tt></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The side of it that sometimes comes back to haunt me when I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>think of it in those terms is opening up a
text of yours and thinking "oh,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>here's another work by P. Inman who I've been reading for over a quarter
of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>a century." And it feels as
totally natural as that waterfall <span class="GramE">because<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>I'm</span> so habituated to recognizing the
codes and systems and problems and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>responses in it. So it's instantly pleasurable.<o:p></o:p></span></tt></div>

So, are you saying that I haven't escaped that danger <span class="GramE">of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>basically</span> doing my own signature work?<o:p></o:p></span></tt></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The utterly straight-forward
pastoral lyric sets up the radical disjunct created by the out-of-context term <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stopwatch</i>. Further, there is an instance
of identifiably <span class="SpellE">Coolidgean</span> humor in having not either
line or poem end at <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stop</i> but continue
through <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">watch</i>. In <span class="GramE">a
simple</span> single word juxtaposition, one can see the germ of an <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">oeuvre </i>that will evolve over the next
forty years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Coolidge, Inman, Melnick, <span class="GramE">Mac</span> Low &#8211; all of the most rigorous &#8220;anti-voice&#8221; poets in
fact have totally identifiable voices in Yates&#8217; sense of a recognizable
aesthetic consistency. Perhaps <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tone</i>
might be a more accurate term than voice, but the differences between these
terms are negligible. Just as each bell has its own characteristic resonance
(as has the human vocal apparatus, that conjunction of skull, larynx, lungs, sinus
cavity, etc. &#8211; I can always tell which of my sons has laughed, even when they
are in distant parts of the house), each poet in his or her practice has
characteristic moves as inescapable as the moon&#8217;s gravity on the tides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This stanza, taken from
&#8220;smaller,&#8221; a poem in <span class="SpellE"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">criss</i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> cross</i> (Roof, 1994), demonstrates
Inman&#8217;s strobe effect shifts between words and phrases well enough. At one
level, all is disjunctive, but at several others connections are pulling the </span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial;">tex</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-family: Arial;">t tightly into a center that cannot be paraphrased. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At the level of sound, we
find the &#8220;<span class="SpellE">i</span>&#8221; from &#8220;hide&#8221; setting up its appearance in
the last word of each of the next two lines, only to have the &#8220;<span class="SpellE">st</span>&#8221; from &#8220;grist&#8221; lead even more strongly into &#8220;waist,&#8221; an
off-rhyme that is strengthened even further by the shift from the sound of a
short &#8220;I&#8221; to that of a long &#8220;a&#8221; in &#8220;waist.&#8221; These terms foreshadow &#8220;dust&#8221; in
the same position of the line five lines later, which then inverts the &#8220;t&#8221; and
&#8220;s&#8221; in the last word &#8220;jots.&#8221; In a similar fashion, that curious &#8220;r&#8221; at the end
of &#8220;<span class="SpellE">birthr</span>&#8221; (which the mind can only hear as a
truncated <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">birthright</i>) leads directly
to the &#8220;<span class="SpellE">ri</span>&#8221; in &#8220;<span class="SpellE">hutterite</span>&#8221;
at the start of the very next line. One can follow the hard &#8220;k&#8221; sound through
its five occurrences in the first four lines of the <span class="GramE">stanza,</span>
see the humor of &#8220;<span class="SpellE">ch</span>&#8221; in &#8220;<span class="SpellE">cherokee</span>&#8221;
as it slips back into a &#8220;k&#8221; sound in &#8220;schedule&#8221; only to hear (subliminally?)
its echo hidden in the &#8220;x&#8221; of &#8220;texture.&#8221;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">But just as &#8220;texture&#8221;
contains &#8220;</span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial;">tex</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-family: Arial;">t,&#8221; meaning here is organized through iterations of
nuance. The stanza carries us from &#8220;words&#8221; to &#8220;jots,&#8221; the latter figured as a
noun, through &#8220;book,&#8221; &#8220;literature,&#8221; and even perhaps &#8220;<span class="SpellE">hutterite</span>.&#8221;
Similarly, &#8220;calved&#8221; prefigures &#8220;cow&#8221; and &#8220;<span class="SpellE">maned</span>&#8221; and
&#8220;period&#8221; projects what will be the only instance of punctuation in this </span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial;">tex</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-family: Arial;">t. It is only when one recognizes how much time is
being referenced in this stanza &#8211; for me it was the line &#8220;hours within trees of
literature&#8221; &#8211; that it becomes apparent how concise a history of writing we are
being given. Or that it is being contrasted with the writer&#8217;s almost alchemical
processing of phenomenological perception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I&#8217;m not suggesting that one
need do a close reading of every Inman stanza or poem, but rather that such
elements are to be found throughout his poetry and trigger associations within
a reader that are far from random. Inman&#8217;s voice is as clear as a bell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
