If you break open the dry stems of certain plants /

from All Particles and Waves

By David Spittle from @blackheraldpress.bsky.social
Black cover with grey-toned montage of photos and drawings, surrealist in spirit Back cover: 1 perplex other people... I infect them also with the perplexity I feel myself: as if to echo Socrates' words, David Spittle's poems make us look for what, inside language, we did not necessarily know we were looking for. In each poem, precariously poised as Spittle is between syntactical newness and each free act of the mind, he purges us of our anticipation of what • the creative act is. Thus, in the same manner as John Ashbery, whose poetry came to him in fits and starts and by indirec-tion', Spittle's poetry reveals itself behind the multiple (and mostly involuntary) disguises that reality for him, from one poem to the next, takes on. Hence we find a poet writing always amid the struggle of birth and re-birth, identity and non-identity, a poetry testing itself perilously at the frontiers of both verbal experiment and perception. Poem 1 from ‘All Particles and Waves’ sequence A three-legged dog barks In a falling storm A three-legged dog barks Unheard in the vault Undeterred and biting In a falling storm Of feathers A three-legged dog barks As all around Is softly exploding

For Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

First and only poem published in Poetry Review (many moons ago). The last four words were used as the epigraph to the issue.
What Is the Word - What is the word for this in French? The Russian I know - a kind of chucking out. Brutal, gets to the point though. The English applies restraint. A thing mislaid, mistake. A stately horsedrawn flourish. Miscarriage, o, how ravishingly slow.

In an essay for WWB, @saudaminideo.bsky.social interrogates critical attitudes that harshly judge Indian fiction in translation, prioritizing readerly ease over experimentation and artistry. Read the essay on WWB: buff.ly/tde3VVD
A stack of books with the quote “They take us further than the average reader probably wishes to go, but unless such journeys are embarked upon, even if singularly or in small numbers, the borders of language will not change, and we might find ourselves standing where we were, say, a hundred years ago” and the text “'Postcolonial Translations and the Reception of Indian Literature in the West' by Saudamini Deo”
