      Interesting thoughts, but I think you can make the case that language in America is a lot MORE musical--the influence of Hamilton and hip-hop generally has increased our awareness of meter and rhyme. See Amanda Gorman's inaugural poem.https://twitter.com/NateMeyvis/status/1363936698565017601 …

      I use @DanaGioiaPoet's conversation @EconTalker to ask something I've been puzzling over for years: why is language less musical than it used to be? https://natemeyvis.com/2021/02/22/dana-gioia-and-unasked-questions/ …

      I'd have said that example cuts the other way. Inaugurations have always had poets. Gorman's poem didn't rely as heavily on meter etc. as others, and its public reception had relatively little to do with its formal features (as poetry). Hip-hop is, yes, the great counterexample.

      According to this essay (https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v37/n12/ben-lerner/diary …, backed up here, https://lithub.com/read-every-presidential-inauguration-poem-ever-performed-there-are-fewer-than-you-think/ …) only JFK, Clinton, Obama, Biden had inaugural poems.

      How easy it is to be wrong about basic, easily checked facts, and not think to check them! I really appreciate it.

      I've never been a big poetry guy, but I was very surprised to discover that I quite like Victorian narrative poems - goblin market, accident mariner. Totally not the genre/era I would have expected.

      Funny how that works... thanks for reminding me about Rossetti.
