I think Dickens and I have a similar distaste for hypocrisy. Excited for Chuzzlewit to go to America.

Gideonleek is on page 75 of 592 of Memory Rose into Threshold Speech: The Collected Earlier Poetry: A Bilingual Edition

Favorite poem so far, dedicated by Celan to his former girlfriend (and later Nobel prize-winner) Ingeborg Bachmann:

We belong together,
It’s as clear as summer rain,
Or else I’ll be alone forever,
My life so full of pain.

Memory Rose into Threshold Speech: The Collected Earlier Poetry: A Bilingual Edition

Gideonleek is on page 515 of 928 of The Paris Review Book: of Heartbreak, Madness, Sex, Love, Betrayal, Outsiders, Intoxication, War, Whimsy, Horrors, God, Death, Dinner, Baseball, Travels, ... Else in the World Since 1953

Choice passage from the great Joyce Carol Oates: “Rhea and Rhoda Kunkel: it was always Rhea-and-Rhoda, never Rhoda-and-Rhea, I couldn't say why. You just wouldn't say the names that way. Not even the teachers at school would say them that way.”
Masterful. Both establishes an unreliable narrator and belittles her for not knowing about alphabetical order.

This is my poem which the paris review rejected last year :/

She had eyes as deep as AriZona’s
and hair the color of purple Doritos.
I met her at the deli.
She left me on the Staten Island ferry.
Her breath smelled like Takis.

I guess I’m reading this anthology to find out what I did wrong. So far, no clue. The first piece, about the women who drops a baby, killing it on impact, was good.

“If you removed from Nino’s head the things he’s read, you wouldn’t find anything there.”

Wrong! Nino is cool.

Nino is so obviously better than her boyfriend, yet Elena seems to agonize between the two of them, strange.
