Take a spin inside a new long poem that is infinite in nature. Click above link.
WIND is built as an open field. The phrase is Robert Duncan’s, inherited from Charles Olson — composition by field, in which a poem is not pressed from outside into a fixed shape but entered, the way one steps into a landscape already alive. Duncan made the idea cosmological: his first mature book was called The Opening of the Field, and its threshold poem keeps returning to a meadow understood as a made place — a permission granted, a ground held against chaos. WIND takes that meadow and gives it weather. It is named for the one element that cannot settle, and it asks to be read the way weather is read: by the body, before the mind agrees.
