Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.
Frederic Raphael

Poem of the Day
For the Croaking Lizards
who love art more than most, travelling
Taken from 'The Cartographer Tries to Map a Way to Zion'...from painting to painting as one might through archipelagos; who can predict pregnancies by falling on top of heads; whose translucent skins reveal a green/blue love inside them; who give of their extremities most generously to cats; whose routines are more precise than clocks; who though hated and hunted, have remained profoundly unbothered; nights are loud with the shrugs of lizards. |
