Abstract

ABSTRACT This lyric essay responds to an inquiry of how being a poet influences my work as an interpretive writer for museums and cultural institutions. Each section of the essay, listening, questioning, binary, et al — is an opportunity to ponder the poet-interpretive writer’s writing life. The essay’s holistic framework necessitates a bit of a pinball effect, but the content aligns poetry and interpretation in moments of strict divergence or happy fusion. Hopefully the essay’s arrangement on the page will offer the reader clues to meaning and how to read the piece aloud the way good poems do. There is music. There are clients, librarians, and lists. I found the seams where work and art separate and ripped out the thread.
