Wings in Time. Poetry by Callie Garnett

Callie Garnett’s first full-length collection of poems, Wings in Time, is a book one watches as much as reads.

Whether it be her memories of browsing now-extinct video stores, the tender lessons learned from children’s public television (Garnett’s mother is a long-time writer for Sesame Street), a student job at a CD & record shop, or Zoom meetings during quarantine back in her parents’ home, the four sections of this book nod toward media’s shifting formats and mirror the coming of age of the poet herself.

Garnett’s experiences and evocations have here been transcribed, recorded, rewound, shared and edited over emails, and nearly float context-less, full of the desire to touch the immaterial and the dematerialized.

Callie Garnett is the author of the chapbooks Hallelujah, I’m a Bum (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2015) and On Knowingness (The Song Cave, 2017). Her poems have appeared in the PEN Poetry Series, the Poetry Foundation, No Tokens, The Recluse, and elsewhere. She works as an Editor at Bloomsbury Publishing.

Teething. Poetry by Megha Rao

A story told in verse, Teething begins when Kochu, a young boy in Kerala, is caught kissing the neighbour’s son. All hell breaks loose, ending in Kochu taking his own life.

Years after the scandal, after discovering his suicide note, his oldest sister, Achu, sets out to uncover the mysteries of their dysfunctional family by putting pieces of their past back together.

Along the way, she discovers things she never noticed – their mother’s brokenness and obsession with the church, their father’s disturbing secrecy inside the bedroom, and, of course, their own individual traumas that stopped time altogether. Soon, Achu realizes that none of them will ever truly grow up until they live their lives all over again, from the very beginning.

Megha Rao is a confessional performance poet and a surrealist artist. Her work has been featured on platforms such as Penguin Random House India, Firstpost, The Open Road Review, New Asian Writing, The Alipore Post, Spoken Fest, Why Indian Men Rape and Thought Catalog. Megha is a postgraduate in English Literature from the University of Nottingham, UK, and is currently spending her time between Mumbai and Kerala.

Eva van Manen: Hoe zijn we hier gekomen?

De debuutbundel van artiest, songwriter en producer Eva van Manen.

Geveld door Covid-19 brengt een jonge vrouw twee maanden door in bed. Beperkt in haar bewegingsvrijheid, springt ze heen en weer tussen situaties waarin machtsverhoudingen een rol spelen. Ziek- tegenover gezond zijn, mannen tegenover vrouwen en het geheel tegenover het individu.

Als jonge vrouw die een zwaar ziekbed heeft beleefd, kan ze zich niet ontrekken aan de pure willekeur. Het is toeval wie ziek wordt, wie binnen bepaalde grenzen geboren wordt en wie als vrouw.

In Hoe zijn we hier gekomen? spit ze in haar herinneringen op zoek naar de wortels van de vraag hoe we hier gekomen zijn. In dit land, dit lichaam en dit politieke klimaat. De bundel is een aaneenrijging van schurende situaties en gedachten, in verre oorden en dichtbij huis.

Eva van Manen (1989) is artiest, dichter, songwriter en producer. Haar debuutalbum Politiek & Liefde overbrugt stijlen als rap, elektronica en gitaarpop met een persoonlijke invalshoek. Ze onderzoekt waar politiek en liefde elkaar treffen. Het lied Omdat we verdergaan afkomstig van Politiek & Liefde werd genomineerd voor de Annie M.G. Schmidtprijs 2021.

Heinrich Heine: Das Fräulein stand am Meere

 

Das Fräulein stand am Meere

Das Fräulein stand am Meere
Und seufzte lang und bang,
Es rührte sie so sehre
Der Sonnenuntergang.

Mein Fräulein! sein Sie munter,
Das ist ein altes Stück;
Hier vorne geht sie unter
Und kehrt von hinten zurück.

By the Bivouac’s Fitful Flame by Walt Whitman

 

By the Bivouac’s Fitful Flame

By the bivouac’s fitful flame,
A procession winding around me, solemn and sweet and slow–but first I note,
The tents of the sleeping army, the fields’ and woods’ dim outline,
The darkness lit by spots of kindled fire, the silence,
Like a phantom far or near an occasional figure moving,
The shrubs and trees, (as I lift my eyes they seem to be stealthily watching me,)
While wind in procession thoughts, O tender and wondrous thoughts,
Of life and death, of home and the past and loved, and of those that are far away;
A solemn and slow procession there as I sit on the ground,
By the bivouac’s fitful flame.

Bert Bevers: Onderbuik

Onderbuik

In keurige lokalen dagen ze op om te kiezen
met ongeschoolde stemmen. De oude luister

van wijken ontrafelt heimwee naar de ranke
zwier van liedjes over herfstval, over navels

waar weer truitjes over zijn geschoven. Als ze
daarover vertellen wil niemand hen geloven.

To The Others by Lola Ridge

 

 

To The Others

I see you, refulgent ones,
Burning so steadily
Like big white arc lights…
There are so many of you.
I like to watch you weaving –
Altogether and with precision
Each his ray –
Your tracery of light,
Making a shining way about America.

I note your infinite reactions –
In glassware
And sequin
And puddles
And bits of jet –
And here and there a diamond…

But you do not yet see me,
Who am a torch blown along the wind,
Flickering to a spark
But never out.

The Indian Serenade by Percy Bysshe Shelley

 

 

The Indian Serenade

I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright:
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me—who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream—
The Champak odours fail
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The Nightingale’s complaint,
It dies upon her heart;—
As I must on thine,
Oh, belovèd as thou art!

Oh lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast;—
Oh! press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Bert Bevers: Tussen de bomen

Tussen de bomen

Vroeger, toen het bos nog jong was en
vinders van zwaarden er zwegen alsof
ze op een schande waren gestoten, was
het lover al goudkeverkleurig. Stel je voor

hoe hier de rituelen van de stam werden
overgeleverd door de hoofdzanger, in milde
doorschouwing naar klaarheid zwenkend.
Waarheid laat zich maar moeilijk vatten.

Den Toten der Revolution

Todgeweihte Leiber
trotzig gestemmt
Wider den Bund
der rohen Bedränger,
Löschte Euch Schicksal
mit dunkler Gebärde.
Wer die Pfade bereitet,
stirbt an der Schwelle,
Doch es neigt sich vor ihm
in Ehrfurcht der Tod.
