It is a topic of deep personal interest as I discovered that my inclination for poetry was seeping into my business writing in the choice of titles, subtitles, and the occasional lyrical phrase.

Loved your phrase: “The poetry lurks on my shoulder, taps me every now and then to remind me, if my prose is ploddy, that words should sing and dance.” And that you’ve “absorbed an understanding of rhythm without thinking about it.”

Makes me want to read your memoir.
