Elena Ferrante
“Literary work couldn't seriously force the whirlpool of debris that constituted the real into any grammatical or syntactical order.”
Elena Ferrante, In the Margins: On the Pleasures of Reading and Writing

“It's not so much time is circular as time
confuses memory with hope and fear
which often looks like the future”
Jennifer Nelson

Li-Young Lee
“My loneliness, my sleepless darling
reminds herself
the fruit that falls increases
at the speed of the body rising to meet it.”
Li-Young Lee, Book of My Nights: Poems

Anne Carson
“[Ibykos fr. 286 translated using only words
from p. 47 of Endgame by Samuel Beckett]

In your kitchen, on the one hand,
bright corpses
starting to stink of having an idea,
where one of my legs [is]
and beneath sooner or later
the whole universe
doesn't ring and won't work.
On the other hand, I shouldn't think so.
Nay Rather,
like a speck in the void,
pacing to and fro,
accompanied by the alarm,
frankly,
angrily,
impatiently,
not very convinced,
[it] kisses me goodbye. I'm dead. (Pause).”
Anne Carson

Mary Jo Bang
“Little idiosyncratic expressions can form
A sense of who one is. Who one was.
One can, hypothetically, be brought back

In the form of an actor

Who gives an after the fact replication
Of text conveyed in a character's voice.
I can no more understand the world as a stage
Of myself, mired as I am,
In this missing.”
Mary Jo Bang, Elegy
