This interpenetration of subjects reflects Ramke’s attention to what holds things together—how a syllable or phoneme forms the kernel of meaning, and that it is his job as a poet to sow that kernel in as many different terrains as possible. His trust in sound reflects a trust in nature and an understanding that the human is a part of the world, forever involved in a conversation that allows particulate sand its say: / say its sound, susurrant. The echo of the s sound in these lines is one of many instances in which these poems are led by sound and movement, trusting that meaning lies therein.
