Impressive analysis of how Amabile uses sonic architecture to builda semantic scaffolding. The observation about monosyllables doing heavy lifting in "Frost" is spot-on, especially how short/long vowel oscillation creates emotional stasis within motion. That tension between precision and cosmic scale runs through the whole collection.
