Abstract

A selective survey of poems inspired by specific pieces of music reveals a variety of poetic techniques that communicate the perceptions of notably creative listeners. The attentive reader of such poetry may discover a distinctive layer of poetic meaning, a fresh perspective on the musical work in question, and a new appreciation for the intersections between music and poetry.
