"But I find epigraphs to be powerful and comforting, and almost like that Janus face: someone looking back but also looking forward....Epigraphs are these fabulous temporal capsules, these little bridges betwixt time and text, these diving boards leaping the reader into the poem and I just can’t get enough of them."

“As the excerpt from 'Ferrum' begins, the desire to read is baffled. What is all our f? What is ht fad? The pages offer no visual clues, no eye-rhythms for mind to follow, but the eye goes to work, gradually witnessing an emergence of image and narrative from chaos. We can rewrite the text, if we need to; it’s there to be found: and their fall our fall it was a bull market for guineas and for guinea negroes a bet in hope night fades to day day to night her dugs hang sacks of dry fear. What would we lose by this?" |
