Consistencies

 

by Tiffany Charrington

‘The complexity of the world, in which language lives and develops and evolves, forms every word into a chord conveying many things at once – some of them contradictory. Those chords strike us on many levels – sensual, intuitive, intellectual. And there’s so much that we experience in the silence before, during, after, even within words. The poet must work with all of that. It’s as unknown and challenging as exploring any wilderness or frontier.’
