"When two novels in verse—fully metrical verse, largely rhymed—appear within weeks of each other, they cry out to be compared and contrasted."

"every language has its own silence" (Canetti) --@dreamsofbeing_

"We could also call someone who helps preserve tradition a ‘flame-bearer’, or *lēġbora."

when wild things are given names
they join the rote sestina
with parallel amens
& never again siesta

they join the rote sestina
a plethora of lush tisanes
& never again siesta
nor in the woods leave stains

a plethora of lush tisanes
when wild things are given names
nor in the woods leave stains
with parallel amens
