AB  - In “Massachusetts” Robert Creeley writes, “You place yourself in / such  relation, you hear / everything that’s said”  Selected Poems l 4-6 . To discuss Robert  Creeley’s poetics, consider the poet and poem in relationship, each an object in an  object-filled world. Now add the reader. Since the poem is experienced through  our bodies and because our bodies are never in stasis, the poem is also never in  stasis. The creative act is not a singular act but an interrelated acting, thus the  poem becomes an experiencing. Creeley takes into account the movement of a  corporeal, temporal artist through a corporeal, temporal world, a world wherein  the artist is an object acting in relation to other objects. As writes Charles Olson  in Human Universe and Other Essays  1967 , “It is a matter, finally, of OBJECTS,  what they are, what they are inside a poem, how they got there, and, once there,  how they are to be used”  20 . It is the relationships between the world, poet,  poem, reader, and the words themselves, that charge Creeley’s work. Speaking  phenomenologically, it is therefore through these relationships that Creeley has  access to the order of the world.
