I'm also doing a phd (poetry) & I'd be interested to hear more about your thinking in terms of the space between objects, between people etc. It's such an ephemeral yet precise kind of idea, & one I gave a great deal of thought to awhile ago. I'll dig around & try & find what I was reading at the time & post it when I do. One of the poets I'm reading/writing on is Phyllis Webb (Canadian) & one of her books in particular, Naked Poems (a 'slim volume' of short/fragmentary lesbian poems), uses space (material & metaphorical) to intense & absorbing effect. Hard to get the book though--I had to borrow it in from Canada. Best, Louise.
