e.g., “metrical” in Olson’s sense of the word\n\t\t057\tWilliams’ large focus “on measure” and the difficulties he experienced after his strokes\n\t\t078\tCreeley relates how Williams’ concerns have affected his feelings about Pound, Olson, Zukosfsky, and others\n\t\t096\tWilliams’ feelings about the Russian cosmonaut’s orbit of the Earth\n\t\t110\tCreeley asks audience for feedback on what is meant by “measure”; response: Williams himself did not seem to know\n\t\t126\tWilliams’ reaction to Olson and vice versa\n\t\t143\tOlson’s “Projected Verse” essay\n\t\t173\tCreeley says “if anything is, then all things are”, relates this idea to poetry\n\t\t197\tCreeley’s use of the word measure\n\t\t211\tComments from Robert Duncan on measuring one’s measure while one is intoxicated\n\t\t277\tComments from Robert Duncan on measuring one’s measure while one is intoxicated\n\t\t343\t“Writing somehow doesn’t count”, says Creeley\n\t\t374\tDiscussion of numbers and counting as measures\n\t\t410\tDuncan speaks about the patterns in Pound’s “Rock Drill” Cantos\n\t\t456\tDuncan speaks about the crudity of “conscious numbers” as opposed to the complexity of “unconscious numbers” a “loosed mode”\n\t\t495\tCreeley discusses the “numbers” he uses in his poems\n\t\t514\tDuncan brings up the counted syllables in Williams’ work; Creeley discusses Tomlinson’s use of Williams’ style of syllabic verse\n\t\t562\tAudience member refers to a statement on the sonnet form by Zukofsky; Duncan comments\n\t\t605\tCreeley gets back to statement, “Writing somehow doesn’t count”; focuses on word “somehow”\n\t\t635\tAudience members enter into debate about whether arithmetical counting is necessary in poetry\n\t\t777\tCreeley discusses the many possibilities with poems that are consciously and ostensibly “measured” (or metred) by the writer\n\t\t864\tCreeley refers to Olson’s “testing and missing some proof”;
