Why poetry should sound good even if it's never spoken
Yes, that's right.
Poetry should--poetry MUST--sound good. Even if it's never read aloud.
Why, you ask?
Well, just read this nice sciency article on how we read "silently."
It's not terribly new information (though this study may be a more definitive presentation than previous speculations) but it's terribly important to remember:
When we read we speak internally. Poetry is inherently an aural art form. We cannot forget this.
