{Poetry and Rhythm}[14th December 1987]

[Redbook4:224][19871214:2010]{Poetry and Rhythm}[14th December 1987]

19871214. 2010

Poetry without rhythm, if such a thing is possible, lacks the means by which the Poet to an extent suspends the conscious will of the reader (or listener) and gains access for both of them direct to deeper, less conscious areas of the Mind. It seems, however, and curiously, that the Poet's use of this technique may be either conscious or unconscious as far as he is concerned – in two senses: first, that he may or (more likely) may not be aware of the purpose of the technique; and second, that he may by rhythm give access and voice to his deeper mind, or may employ rhythm merely as a mechanical, logical and conscious exercise.
