Was reminded yesterday of the opening poem of @tomsnarsky.bsky.social’s RECLAIMED WATER (@ornithopterpress.bsky.social)—thanks for this @toddedillard.bsky.social!—so on Day 3 of National Poetry Month, here’s “Philosophy,” another poem I love from this brilliant collection! 💙
Philosophy I just want you to understand that if you took every jellyfish who had ever died in the sea, and not just the visible ones washed up ashore, no, even the ones who lived and perished in total obscurity, if you took all their gelatinous inertia rocked by the waves it's maybe the beginning of an approximation of how my heart has felt for fourteen years of looking at you. And of course that's like the most American thing I could possibly do, wrap mass death up in the matter of an individual heart, but like one tree alone at the height of a hill offering high noon's only shade for a quarter mile around I'm stuck with it, I'm carving secrets in the bark because I'm a dog for you, I'm backwards, yesterday I forgot my own name

Todd, your prompt made me think of this poem, “Saddest Factory” by @tomsnarsky.bsky.social in RECLAIMED WATER (@ornithopterpress.bsky.social)!

The making of this book took me through all kinds of difficult terrains—thanks so much to @ornithopterpress.bsky.social for their trust and patience with its long and winding creative process. It’s exciting to now get a chance to send it out to share and find its way into the world.

Please read this review of Michael D. Snediker's JONES VERY written by the inimitable H. L. Hix:
internationaltimes.it/urgency/
“Snediker’s Jones Very could serve as a proof-text for Lyn Hejinian’s observation that ‘The desire to tell within the conditions of a discontinuous consciousness seems to constitute the original situation of the poem.’ Its sentences accumulate the way David Markson’s sentences accumulate in Wittgenstein’s Mistress. I experience them according to the curious epigraph to the ‘Notes’ section of the book, attributed there to Hopkins: ‘I do not believe school is from schola viz. σχολή, but the Teuton word meaning assemblage, collection, as shoal, a school of whales shell (in a school of form).’ Just so do Snediker’s sentences school; just so do they school me.” —​H.L. Hix, "Urgency," International Times, November 23, 2024

Introducing AN INCH THICK by Theo Ellin Ballew
✨
AN INCH THICK is a future-mythic life story in lullaby, peopled by punkish attempts to bind and measure and hold still (attempts egged on by the memory of their impossibility).

Front cover of AN INCH THICK by Theo Ellin Ballew has a grid of green dancing flying figures against a reddish brown field.
