Don't Let It End Like This Tell Them I Said Something

Autor Paul Vermeersch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 oct 2014
Don’t Let It End Like This Tell Them I Said Something — Paul Vermeersch’s fifth collection of poetry — is, as its title suggests, a lyrical meditation on written language and the end of civilization. It combines centos, glosas, erasures, text collage, and other forms to imagine a post-apocalyptic literature built, or rebuilt, from the rubble of the texts that came before.

Recenzii

"Demonstrating remarkable virtuosity and range, Vermeersch here assumes the contradictory mantle of the prophetic, post-apocalyptic poet, and the poems suitably offer a paradoxical mix of cynicism and hope." — Quill & Quire

Extras

GEOMETRIC MECHANOTHERAPY CELL FOR HARMONIC
ALIGNMENT OF MOVEMENT AND RELATIONS


Dragged through the neighbourhood,
it’s meant to act as a communal
paroxetine. Dead eyes follow it
the way dead eyes follow
sheet music. It’s meant to equalize.

But it fails. Fists and backs
clench and get up. Honeyspats
clog the works. Another pipequake
signals something stuck, something
contractual lodged in the chute.

The cell jutters as the pressure
builds in the black plastic
digestion apparatus. It fails,
but how else to choke back the lungshadow
when the machine can’t heal you?

Beethoven! Beethoven! Elk . . . Ethiopian . . .
Nothing matters. Or seems to.
The backlog of disappearing objects
lurches in the cylinder and goes
nowhere, but it’s the thought that counts.
