Overview

The creative process is often accompanied by some sort of compulsion. This is what is sometimes known as the creative urge. And so it was with my poem Ear Pieces The compulsion was to explain what had happened - a diagnosis of hearing loss - and the urge took the form of a poem. It is said that the material chooses the writer. The story is not conventional, in keeping with much of my life. Many narratives of hearing loss run thus: sound or possibly perfect hearing since childhood and into adulthood followed by loss - gradual or steep - into middle or later age. A traditional, linear, almost accepted, progression from perceived 'perfection' to imperfection, from 'full faculty' to 'impairment'.
