I think I’ll read along again this year with Ammons’s Tape for the Turn of the Year, a poem composed in daily entries between Dec 6 & Jan 10 on a roll of adding-machine tape: “once started, / can I ever get / free / of the thing, get it in / and out of the typewriter / and mind?” https://t.co/oZXZn9UaEk
