One of the rare few writers whose work deftly dances along the brink of desire and repulsion like a pleasurable paper cut.

“[I]ndeterminacy, what we might call irresolution, might be our only befitting fate as beings of language. Hiding right there on the surface of the poem is the very concrete, literal effacement of surface meaning, but that surface meaning is the only thing that is there.” @frankgarrett.online

“…language, in refusing transparency, only ever shows itself as the possibility, and not the guarantee, of communication and of truth.” Read some of my thoughts on a couple of my obsessions: Václav Havel and Wim Wender’s Until the End of the World.

Yesterday I translated a poem from the early 1930s that completely rewired my brain, especially these lines: "nicość / przepaści głodna". My translation: "the nothingness / hungry for abyss". (It could also read "the hungry nothingness / of the abyss" bc of the fun indeterminacy of Polish grammar.)
