Hi Alison
Writing this makes me feel somewhat schizoid.
Yes, these forms intrigue me too, and in me results sometimes in
hybrid bastard forms, or sometimes escapes completely into prose.
For me, it's a function of the poetic line getting longer and longer
until it bursts its margins, a kind of desirous impulse -
Best
Alison
