text exchange with AH
AH: Am I poet who just uses other mediums besides language
LR: yeah i mean, i think poetry has so many mediums. or rather, it feels like something that alchemizes, or is alchemy— rather than something like having a concrete material such as language. poems are attempts i think at collaborating with language and longing. the longing that lives inside of us to translate meaning. as photographers we use light like that. then i think there are declarative poems, which belong to those who use the medium as a riot song, or as defining form. to be a poet i think is to embody the alchemy or become part of it, to be a poet can also be, i think, the shifting changing or forming of culture.
AH: alchemy is a wonderful way to frame it, or transmutation, or “the transfiguration of the commonplace” (as one book on art is titled) … and I don’t mean to suggest that poetry is any one thing
LR: of course. it is like air
