Welcome to Litsy!

I just got this beautiful edition of Brainard‘s seminal work. Cloth bound and with a new foreword by Paul Auster. Truly a wonderful book.

I remember stories about nuns and candles and throwing babies into the basement furnace.

"I remember 'Mommy, Mommy, I don't like my little brother.' 'Shut up, Mary Anne, and eat what I tell you to!'" (61)

holy fuck

I have some sweet company

I really don't know what to make of this man who almost objectively, unashamedly displays his vices as verse / I'm appalled but I can't stop reading

I'm not a poet nor have I studied poetry but I love to pick up a book of poetry every once in a while, it can be a refreshing change from a novel or even a short story. This one isn't listed on Litsy, it is a small press pick by a French astrophysicist. It is a bilingual edition so it also challenged me to read at least some of it in French😬, a beautiful and moving work of poetry! #smallpresssunday #poetry #sixteenriverspress
