Quote of the Day
British publishing always needs the supplement of such enterprises as Carcanet -- beautifully independent, skilfully managed, and by people with exceptional literary taste. It gives one heart that there are such people and such a press, and that they are too resourceful to succumb to the climate.
Sir Frank Kermode

Quiet around here. The neighbours,
in wider arcs, getting to know each other.
The fresh falling away.
A sweetness wells out of the dark about now.
The explorer angles his telescope
at frigid violets on a settee.
A curate is near.
Frogs and envelopes join in the fun:
That was some joust! they say. Today we learned two things
too many: how to whimper, and the secret stasis of land.
Always, coming home
you pause before the little bridge, sigh, and turn ahead.
The real time of water gives you little wiggling room,
but it's all right, because it's all over.
Some dream accosted me on the turnpike. I felt strait-laced
for a moment, then remembered your threnody,
a cassation of bathtubs and violas d'amore.
It brought me to passion. I was able to turn back
with a clean slate, noting possible drifts
of meaning that disappeared as soon as
illuminated, then re-emerged as from a fit of pique.
