[aerial-letter]

"You cannot foresee so suddenly leaning toward a face and wanting to lick the soul’s whole body till the gaze sparks with furies and yieldings. You cannot foresee the body’s being swept into the infinity of curves, of pulsings, every time the body surges you cannot see the image, the hand touching the nape of the neck, the tongue parting the hairs, the knees trembling, the arms with such desire encircling the body like a universe. Desire is all you see. You cannot foresee the image, the burst of laughter, the screams and the tears. The image is trembling, mute, polyphonic. Does she frictional she fluvial she essential does she all along her body love the bite, the sound waves, does she love the state of the world in the blaze of flesh to flesh as seconds flow by silken salty cyprine."

-- Nicole Brossard, Québécoise poet, from Sous la langue (Under Tongue). Translation by Susanne de Lotbinière-Harwood.

[metaphorformetaphor]

The world is always ready to seize our joys and pains and turn them into a landscape of its own. That world is perhaps nameless, unwritten, swallowed just in time by a number of dawns and dusks unappeased by languor and by reason.

Nicole Brossard, from Fences in Breathing (Coach House Books, 2009)

[sheisadykewomon]

Nicole Brossard: "On ne peut pas prévoir pencher si soudainement vers un visage et vouloir lécher le corps entier de l’âme jusqu’à ce que le regard étincelle de toutes les fureurs et les abandons. On ne peut pas prévoir l’emportement du corps dans l’infini des courbes, des sursauts, chaque fois que le corps se soulève on ne voit pas l’image, la main qui touche la nuque, la langue qui écarte les poils, les genoux qui tremblent, les bras qui par tant de désir entourent le corps comme un univers. On ne voit que le désir. On ne peut pas prévoir l’image, les fous rires, les cris et les larmes. L’image est tremblante, muette et polyphonique. Fricatelle ruisselle essentielle aime-t-elle le long de son corps la morsure, le bruit des vagues, aime-t-elle l’état du monde dans la flambée des chairs pendant que les secondes s’écoulent cyprine, lutines, marines."

Daphne Marlatt: "You cannot foresee so suddenly leaning toward a face and wanting to lick the soul’s whole body till the gaze sparks with furies and yieldings. You cannot foresee the body’s being swept into the infinity of curves, of pulsings, every time the body surges you cannot see the image, the hand touching the nape of the neck, the tongue parting the hairs, the knees trembling, the arms with such desire encircling the body like a universe. Desire is all you see. You cannot foresee the image, the burst of laughter, the screams and the tears. The image is trembling, mute, polyphonic. Does she frictional she fluvial she essential does she all along her body love the bite, the sound waves, does she love the state of the world in the blaze of flesh to flesh as seconds flow by silken salty cyprine."

“a pause that transforms

light and breath

into language and threshold of fire”

from Ardour by Nicole Brossard

[goodmemory]

sur fond d’immensité nos vies à perte de vue sans conclusion

Le temps qui installe des miroirs Nicole Brossard

[nitrosplicer]

“I'm moving forward. My gaping mouth swallowing rock songs, all the rhythm, howling lyrics and speed. They interrupt the music. A man's voice announces a disaster, an earthquake. I lean on the voice and it gets lost inaudible tsunami in the distant Pacific. I don't like my mother to be alone at night. It haunts me. Mothers are like civilization, fragile in front of their television sets, forgotten like some ancient knowledge. Mothers are open spaces. I love driving violently fast in the Meteor. I love the repeated horizon. No fear, no panic comes my way in the middle of the night or during cloud of sand and I can't see a thing in front of me. I stop, I become living matter; isolated from everything, hands on the steering wheel, sunkdeep into the gloom, I listen to the world's fracas burying my car in sand. I submit, blinded. I look into the inside at my brain moving forward in time, multiplying seconds, crystals, aerial creatures in the fold of the eyelids. I follow trails, the trace of time, triangles, spirals, around ruins, barkhans, mobiles. Only once, only once, did I see words I was unable to read. And the signs scattered at once as though at the back of the mind the body of the letter could not withstand light, such a presence…I was 15, with all of time and the horizon ahead of me. In my mother's white shell I was speed, civilization, in the distance, city, lost gaze, ruin in reverse. I was moving forward, exemplary in my solitude, with at my feet a brake to prevent disasters. There is no need amid snakes and cacti to despair, for night is always raving blue.”

- Mauve Desert, Nicole Brossard, trans. Susanne de Lotbière-Harwood

4, 5, 22 (if you also have a favourite sub-collection or constellation you're particularly proud of i would love to know), 25

thank you, bee 💚

4. What’s the next book you’re hoping to read?

since i've already replied to this with library books, here are two books i already own and have been meaning to finally read: dictionary of the khazars by milorad pavić ("a lexicon novel") and inka history in knots: reading khipus as primary sources by gary urton

5. Is there a book you own, but aren’t planning on reading?

there were in fact two or three books in this category but i gave them away back when i was moving in december

22. How do you organize your books? (if you also have a favourite sub-collection or constellation you're particularly proud of i would love to know)

mostly by genre/subgenre/style. and well :) my handbound books are currently in their own section and they're easily the books i am proudest of :) i'm also really fond of my "experiments in style and/or form" collection, which includes my print copies of le désert mauve (nicole brossard), insurrecto (gina apostol), house of leaves (mark danielewski), s. (doug dorst and jj abrams), the archive of alternate endings (lindsey drager), h(a)ppy (nicola barker), lincoln in the bardo (george saunders), pale fire (vladimir nabokov), flowers for algernon (daniel keyes), the stone gods (jeanette winterson) and ada palmer's terra ignota series

25. In what condition do you keep your books?

in good condition but i think it's really okay if a paperback spine clearly looks like the book's been read. i only very occasionally write notes in my books or underline parts

Omgggggggggg just want to gush about Nicole Brossard's work so bad but nobody else understands my obsession with her

#Nicole Brossard #PLEASEEE

[metaphorformetaphor]

at this late hour when memory is afraid of its leaps and the nerves in the midst of desire are overwhelmed with responses, I know that all has not been said, I know that light when it fractures shadow revives my respect for shadow and for light, I know that the life that is mine, overflowing into the air of energy, urges me to breathe up close into my hand long images of necessity and, of emotion, beautiful breaches in the background of dreaming and of identity
