Making It Up as You Go Along

 
Bin Ramke

About This Poem

 

“Like so many of my attempts, this poem uses the etymology of a word as a sort of, well, trellis. And it is a meditation on how sun and flower dance, deny and entangle each other—that is, it is an examination of how in the natural world, as in poetry, form is more fundamental than matter.”
—Bin Ramke

 

Bin Ramke’s most recent collection of poems is Aerial (Omnidawn, 2012). He lives in Denver and teaches at the University of Denver and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
