STATEMENT

Each poem integrates two texts, Rainer Maria Wilke's Collected Poems and Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Each poem contains four sections. The first line (section 1) from one author begins each poem and a line from the other author closes each poem (section 4). A markovifed section (section 2) follows the opening line--the model proportion of the two respective texts are varied in each poem. Then a list is randomly looped containing verbs selected from both original texts by the author (section 3).

These texts were selected to represent two extreme ends of a perspective spectrum--romantic, emotional, and stoic, rational--that meet, combine, and integrate in a way that highlights the spectrum--that these "extremes" of perspectives are interact along a spectrum.
