Today’s Poem
The Painter’s Measure --Norma Cole
For Nicole Phungrasamee Fein
Hope is encountered, variously remembered, granted the patterns of heaven—countless tiny stars, oxalis hearts, forget-me-nots, test sheets
Distant mountain ridgelines flatten to paper in daylight with every purposeful motion night vision of timeless time approaching the pulse of suspension
Metabolic edge of experiment, the radiant points, scales and variations of beads and dots breathe benevolent notes, their particular legibility of trackless
Resistance, deep-rooted, time becomes sight incarnate, embodied control framing chaos, space beyond clarity, branches of lavender, thistle grinding binding wetting the colors
A meteor shower—constellation as memory of perfection
Arkansas International reviews “White Decimal” by Jean Daive, translated by the talented Norma Cole !
“And it is as a master of curation where Norma Cole’s skill as a translator shines through. It’s clear, in this bilingual edition of the book, that Cole has given each word of Daive’s original its due; each rings out in English as measured and unwavering. Like trying to pinpoint a “white insect” in “boundless snow,” White Decimal is a collection most interested in what’s revealed from searching.”
