from one of my favorite books,
C.D. Wright's Deep Step Come Shining, *
a book where
"A photograph is a writing of the light. Photo Graphein."
(3)
and
"The baby sister of the color photographer had a baby girl in the hills. Born with scooped-out sockets in the head. Born near the tracks they sprayed with Agent Orange. The railroad's denials, ditto the army's."
(7)
and
"All around in here it used to be so pretty."
"The boneman's bobcat. Its untamable eyes in the night. Did you know a ghost has hair. A ghost has hair. That's right."
"Peaches and fireworks and red ants.
Now do you know where you are."
(8)
and
". . .
After the rain the trees smell so pleased
. . ."
(9)
and
"Healers in these parts can make one WHOLE or deathly ill.
If the swamp doctor pencils a series of random numbers on
some bones you could win cash or a convertible. If your given
name is penciled on a string of ribs. Whatever the swamp
doctor says. Comply. Whether a believer or not. Remember
Pascal shewed our very air has weight. It can be measured.
Writ by hand. Crudely measured. In the hopeless objective of
receiving the marvels that come to one by sight, sound, and
touch, merely in order:
To feather
To cream
To fall to the knees
to chicory
To fold
To coax (a tomato)
To keep a pet (antelope)
To rain but brief relief
To river
To shield
To watch
To fiddle (rain or shine)
To ride. To eat.
To have black hair.
To see to feel WHOLES
To stick out
To poke around
To spit
To bleach
To suddenly
To know the Veals (of Deepstep)
To sleep (hale)
To continue (in a persistent flow"

Students, or anyone else in need of some pro-editing, do check out this interesting gig: Editrixie, "an editorial-services triumvirate formed by Janet Steen, Rebecca Wolff, and Joanna Yas, three skilled writers and editors who have years of experience in the literary and commercial publishing worlds of New York City and beyond. Between the three of us, we've gone to the best graduate writing programs in the country, worked at top magazines, founded our own magazines and presses, taught writing courses and publishing seminars, commissioned books, published books, and edited both fledgling and world-famous writers."

from a treat from the premier issue of
Sentence: a journal of prose poetics * :
Edward Bartok-Baratta's WOLF PROSE
I return home to entertainment, already their coats are dry kindling, the house damp with musk, I smell that they have been breeding. Rude fur, watery tongues, eyes that I keep falling into. This is a conversation without a finding, an agreement on paper, an occupied town. Is anyone here nearly comfortable in the familiar body?
Rain nails us in, it has an insistent method, it hammers the tin that protects us. Each year lays a stone in front of the window, you come to understand how darkness explains itself only by expanding. Look into the coffee-black eye of a wolf, and there we are, innumerable limbs waving and gesturing, brilliant heads rolling in the animal dark.
(75)

Recently I received a couple of lovely postcards from Brenda Iijima of Portable press at Yo~Yo Labs. Brenda always hand-decorates her correspondence with flourishes and designs, making her thoughtful text even more special. I'm sending out special thanks here: Brenda! You are so thoughtful, so considerate. Thank you!

from kari edwards' obdience * :
let's start again
when I am acting as a single being
being a single body
becoming another body
or becoming a heart ending dichotomy
ending the self in oppression
neither mending the break
nor healing the form
rather, a tuning for splicing a sentence
a rip in the mind
organized as architecture exposing itself
the trauman of transcendence
the far side of inexhaustibility
senseless impassioned permanence
beginning a beginning that is always a beginning
ending at each step
each fall
each morning a creature appears
it's the same answer
we miss the question
the same wager
stepping out of the body
in syncopation
with another other broken open
apart at the seamless visible
a self in penetration
a whirlwind brought on by the sun
by the arms of a tremendous neither
simple names and words
in a phrase
nakedness amassing in the corridor of harmony
crossing a singular
one then another
in the other as the one
testing the limits
exposing the self to the present
to the traffic
of foolish wanting more
in a seamless maneuver
of the self repeating the self
missing the other
wanting more
missing the self
missing the other
wanting more
(73)

from Adriana Cavarero, Relating Narratives * :
The "you" comes before the we, the plural you and before the they. Symptomatically, the "you" is a term that is not at home in modern and contemporary developments of ethics and politics. The "you" is ignored by individualistic doctrines, which are too preoccupied with praising the rights of the I, and the "you" is masked by a Kantian form of ethics that is only capable of staging an I that addresses itself as a familiar you. Neither does the "you" find a home in the schools of thought to which individualism is opposed--these schools reveal themselves for the most part to be affected by a moralistic vice, which in order to avoid falling into the decadence of the I, avoids the contiguity of the you, and privileges collective, plural pronouns. Indeed many revolutionary movements (which range from traditional communism to the feminism of sisterhood) seem to share a curious linguistic code based on the intrinsic morality of pronouns. The we is always positive, and the plural you is a possible ally, the they has the face of an antagonist, the I is unseemly, and the you is of course, superfluous.
(Butler, 32)

from Martin Buber's I and Thou * :
THE LIFE OF HUMAN BEINGS is not passed in the sphere of transitive verbs alone. It does not exist in virtue of activities alone which have some thing for their object.
I perceive something. I am sensible of something. I imagine something. I will something. I feel something. I think something. The life of human beings does not consist of all this and the like alone.
This and the like together establish the realm of It.
But the realm of Thou has a different basis.
When Thou is spoken, the speaker has no thing for his object. For where there is a thing there is another thing. Every It is bounded by others; It exists only through being bounded by others. But when Thou is spoken, there is no thing. Thou has no bounds.
When Thou is spoken, the speaker has no thing; he has indeed nothing. But he takes his stand in relation.
* * *
IT IS SAID THAT MAN EXPERIENCES HIS WORLD. What does that mean?
Man travels over the surface of things and experiences them.
. . . He experiences what belongs to the things.
But the world is not presented to man by experiences alone. These present him only with a world composed of It and He and She and It again.
. . .
I experience something.---If we add "secret" to "open" experiences, nothing in the situation is changed. How self-confident is that wisdom which perceives a closed compartment in things, reserved for the initiate and manipulated only with the key. O secrecy with a secret! O accumulation of information! It, always It!
(4-5)
* Martin Buber (1878-1965), I and Thou [Ich und du], trans. Ronald Gregor Smith (New York: Scribner & Sons/Macmillan Publishing Co., 1958, 1986 [originally published in German, 1928, revised by the author, 1958]).
