What Sparks Poetry: Jay Besemer on Tristan Tzara's “Anecdote""Already focusing on short, intense poems in my own writing, the eleven-line near-sonnet of 'Anecdote' made me feel that I had a path ahead of me ('from one halt to the next') and reassured me that I was not alone in my experiences of violent alienation and the sense of being wrong, badly-suited for what the whole world seemed to expect of me. In both form and content, 'Anecdote' resonated with my own needs, perspective and experiences, both interior and as a human animal in the world." |
