This short concluding chapter offers a reading of Denise Riley’s ‘Boxy piece’ as descriptive of lyric’s capacity to offset charged affects and memorialising mechanical effects. In line with Graham’s poetic project as argued in preceding chapters, the poem speaks ‘out’ from a lyric ‘I’ and speaks ‘about’ the frameworks and conditions of its own saying. What emerges is an acknowledgement that, in lyric, the poem must know more than the poet, together with a differentiation between levels of self-consciousness of form and subjectivity, a process which exceeds the first person.
