- actually, damned difficult. You get the notebook out, apart from the
problems of producing semi-legible marks on page whilst walking, you
step in dogshit, trip over stones etc. But then, I've always suggested
that writing should be a process of risk-taking...
Ed Dorn's 101 sequence was produced while driving I seem to recall -
he sd something like [paraphrase alert] you need an open scrawl, and
the belief that writing should still be capable of illegality...
The list of members of the ambulatory school of poetry is long and
honourable - Reznikoff for sure was one, all his life, even after
being mugged whilst walking, and he's a man who crafted his rhythms to
sound with/against a range of circumstance, including, one guesses,
New York's Central Park. I wouldn't claim to have achieved that at
this point.
However we go about it, talking about rhythm will make us talk about
our physical sensors and responses. Walking's only one way. osistm.
