  • Various approaches to rhythm or poetry have presented impediments to the theorisation and study of poetic rhythm. These include choices regarding the etymology of rhythm, the dismissal of relations between music and poetry, and the tendencies to see rhythm either as contrary to metre or conflated with it. This essay explores options and alternatives that enable understandings of rhythm in accord with our experience of music and poetry. A consideration of the affinities and comparability of both arts reveals viable entryways into poetic rhythm, including the practices of early modern poetry, particularly in Spanish.
