happy #weirdpoemwednesday from Grzegorz Wróblewski, tr. Adam Zdrodowski

WHEN WE SUDDENLY FEEL THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH

First I outgrew my father. Then I put him hurriedly
into a coffin and began to shrink myself.
(What’s the use of today’s rainbow, the innocent daisies and this smiling
shepherd who claims he saw an angel flying
over the meadows?)
We didn’t manage to plant an oak forest and we never
went to the river Brilthor.
We had great plans
that never worked out.

Makes you wonder how deeply judges read for these prestigious prizes. I sense, more often than we'd like to admit, it's a quick skim n' sniff. It's like mistaking the smell of a high-quality air freshener for an actual forest.

Interesting to enter into Ben Lerner's oeuvre with Transcription. Craving critical chit-chat on it after finishing, but almost every review is in deep conversation with his other novels - I suppose the point is that Transcription is, too. I want a close read of just this one!

Drama is baked into my DNA. For example, my father just told me earnestly and emphatically that babysitting a diabetic cat for two weeks has been the "most stressful period in his life".

I did my best to push back on my book being "trans memoir" as it's about many things, but most of all how my life was formed by labour. I got my first job @ 13. I was a journeyman Glazier @ 21. I wasn't a writer (or a trans) until my 30s. Celebrate Labour Day by reading about labour 🔗: is.gd/E42lih

Our obvious starting point—that @manahil.bsky.social is a very fine poet—somehow failed to prepare me for how good Heliotropia is. Warm-hearted. Embracing. Meticulously crafted. Whimsical. Fantastical. Botanical. Astronomical. Sometimes verging on chant or prayer. Plus Star Trek.
