Abstract
Research can be a prior, extrinsic activity, and also an intrinsic part of the creative process itself. While I was writing a long poem in Rome in 2004 - a poem involving both the historical past and my own personal past – both kinds of research interacted in an inextricable dialectic, with consequences for both the poem's form and its contents.
