Murmurs from the poets:
“pout nation injure ungun engine bad news bear plain ooze zoo logical curse a mine ore mock rogue ear rack eerie trial of tears”
—Julie Ezelle Patton, from Notes for Some (Nominally) Awake
“speech inhabits a body
making and hearing sound
its deciding witness:skin, a throat unwound”
—Duriel Harris, from No Dictionary of a Living Tongue
“out of some music a respiratory breathing a heart
out of some tide a call of return
out of some ether of astronomy our own aural calculation ”
—Ed Roberson, from Asked What Has Changed
