Asemic found text for #SmallPoemSunday

Every month, my Read It Slant group reads a (poetry) book. We each select a poem to focus our discussion. This month we’re reading @eireannmor.bsky.social’s Pattern-book, and I’m having a devil of a time choosing. Thankfully @pounk.bsky.social already chose one of my favorites: “An Ampler — Zero —“

I can’t decide if “enjoy” is the right word for how I feel about this book, but it’s hypnotizing me for sure.

I used to shudder at editions of Dickinson’s work that used hyphens—but the more I study her manuscripts, the less I feel there’s any adequate way to represent her mark-making in type. It’s hard for me to see the below as em-dashes, for example. (image from www.edickinson.org/editions/1/i...)

A little Emily Dickinson for #SmallPoemSunday, one that’s been playing in my head through the bizarre news cycles of this week.

Ana Luísa Amaral, “A verdade histórica,” translated by Margaret Jull Costa as “The Historical Truth”

Hey you can memorize and recite a poem even if you’re not in David’s course. And you could do it in any language!

Here’s Ana Luísa Amaral’s “A verdade histórica” (text and translation in replies)

“I am out with lanterns, looking for my salad,” as I believe Emily Dickinson wrote

Started a novel today. All I could think is, “man, good thing they’re not baking with these pears.” 🍐 💦 👀

Since it came up in a #TellItSlant workshop today, here are a couple of NextDoor erasures from back when I could stand to open that cursed app.

Here are the books my beloved RIS reading group (@dianalog.bsky.social @kasylongauthor.bsky.social @pounk.bsky.social @anitaholmes.bsky.social & E.F.) has read in the past year, with Dickinson always in our ears.
