Being close to the music, not hearing a note, <br />I write lines I hope will be heard <br />aloud in the heads of my readers, who’ll quote <br />it in choruses, shaken and stirred. <br /> <br />John Kenney writes about writing in a fictitious baseball camp, ending with: <br /> <br />March 4: Spoke to agent about the panel discussion with Alice Sebold. We do, after all, share a literary vision. Like her I feel I cannot be held to earthly constraints. As I like to say, “to write is to be close to music without actually hearting the notes.” <br /> <br />3/6/03<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shaken-and-stirred-2/
