Peck’s allusive, musically nuanced poetry shows clear traces of Ezra Pound, though Peck’s ideas and metaphors tend to engage rather than insist.
Peck writes primarily in free verse, though he does, in his words, “plait phonic elements across both accentual and syllabic grids,” a patterning of sound that he characterizes as having been more influenced by verse written by Pound's friend and contemporary Basil Bunting than by Pound.
