"On Not Walking, Part I"
"For most of my life illness has made walking difficult. Take a moment to imagine your daily round. Reduce your range to half a mile, clip that to a 150 yards – how is your world now? Does it feel whole? What would you miss most? What could you do to remedy the feelings of loss?"

What Sparks Poetry:
Johannes Göransson on "The Angelgreen Sacrament"
"In difference to the traditional lyric model, where any 'inconsistencies' make the artwork suspect, Martell argues that it is these very rifts that open the poem up, throw the reader into a 'real' of artistic encounter. I would say that Olsson’s book is a 'rifted' lyric. It’s a lyric but it goes on too long, it confuses who is reader and who is writer, who is angel and who is human. It even confuses the angel with a dress worn as a teenager." |
