"That first day we met I remember asking him why he decided to be a poet in the US. He said 'When I was younger I heard "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom" and I thought "these are my people!" ' Remembering Pierre [Joris] today with sadness and love." --@tracepeterson.bsky.social
Nonstop death scroll of violence and murder.
"Speak, you also,
Speak as the last,
Have your say,
Speak--
But keep yes and no unsplit,
And give your say this meaning:
Give it the shade.
Give it shade enough,
Give it as much
As you know has been dealt out between
Midday and midday and midnight.
Look around:
Look how it all leaps alive--
Where death is! Alive!
He speaks truly who speaks the shade."
--Paul Celan (tr M Hamburger)
