A Poem Is A Place Isabelle Correa

[katadesmoi]

how is a Greek chorus like a lawyer / they're both in the business of searching for a precedent / finding an analogy / locating a prior example / so as to be able to say / this terrible thing we're witnessing now is / not unique you know it happened before / or something much like it / we're not a loss how to think about this / we're not without guidance / there is a pattern / we can find an historically parallel case / and file it away under / ANTIGONE BURIED ALIVE FRIDAY AFTERNOON / COMPARE CASE HISTORIES 7, 17 AND 49

Antigonick, Anne Carson p 33

I've thought about you such a lot these last few days; didn't you feel it?"

— Mikhail Kuzmin, from “The Double Confidant,” Selected Prose & Poetry (Ardis, 2013)

“It is six in the morning. There is only a free dog hesitating on the beach, a black dog. Why is a dog so free? Because it is the living mystery that doesn’t wonder about itself.”

Clarice Lispector, “The Waters of the World” (trans. Katarina Dodson)
