There is in all Ward's works the type of formal diversity we have come to expect from the walking wonders who comprise our most interesting poets..."All I remain'" she writes, "is precedence." It remains to those of us who read afterwards to destroy the acoustic illusion that has grown up around her work, and to begin the work of hearing this new language.
