Olá Dan, you're welcome.

With my life having been in an extraordinary state of limbo for
the longest time (to the point of embarrassment), I don't stick
my head out often, but thought I'd start peeking in now & xen
since the clouds are starting to clear & I'm beginning to get
some feeling back in my arse.

Hopefully these will be new/useful/interesting to some:

Rhythm has always intrigued me from the days I used to crash my
Yamaha QY-10, and I've put a few things on my (tentative)
reading list including this:

Mysterious Music: Rhythm and Free Verse - G. Burns Cooper
http://uk.cambridge.org/music/catalogue/0804729387/

"Though many recent poets insist on their poetry’s ‘musical’
qualities, few offer linguistically satisfying explanations of
that ‘music’. This book helps to fill that gap. It is a
linguistically-based study of rhythmic structures, and of the
nature of rhythm, in the free verse of T. S. Eliot, Robert
Lowell, and James Wright."

Tchau,
