Ă propos de ce livre
Maleea Acker's dauntless new poetry collection is crafted with emotion and bold style.
Any day now I shall be released to the Bangladesh runaway,
its burnt out plane a little hulk from a different dimension,
a researcher of longing, no one selling Heineken
from a cooler in its unlit aisles, no one with a line to God.
Acker's poems hang on precipices of emotion. They cartwheel from sadness to glory, then break into blossoms in a drought-struck landscape of longing. These are poems filled with daring leaps and precise, deft metaphors. There is machinery, there are imaginaries; a dictator selects the musical soundtrack. The poems cajole and praise both the world and interior life with an erotic charge and enduring hope.

Les femmes dans la poésieOpen When Alone
Hello, old feeling.
Itâs not been long enough.
Access to the central holding
facility of joy has been curtailed
for all those not in a pool
or cutting pine
with an antiquated saw. Pendejo,
call the boys, while a love song
croons, its accordionist high
on playing the straight man. Again
and again, the flicker into new
territory, then out
to alight like Napoleon the hummingbird
on the chain-link, just inside
the zone of ownership.
Every time he flies past he takes
another handful of dust off
my body. By tomorrow, just
the sheen of mechanicality,
like how a swimming pool changes
from turquoise to white smear
when used as it should. Little
voice, youâre like those coloured
flags planted atop the next
to furthest jungled hill. It will
never be easy, say your flickering
oyster-shell forms. Youâll never get out of this alive.
Another love song concurs. And
Iâm hungry and cold, adds the singer,
her armies all
burned at the edge of the city.
Give me the pass, I whisper
to the little voice. You can
have my first-born, my money,
the almond croissant Iâm eating by pieces
to pretend Iâm not eating
the whole thing. You can
have the Northâs lotus-eaters
the dark firs and my moon
rising with Pluto, poor Pluto,
in one of twelve houses, which was told to me
this morning but because I
am without any earth apparently
leaves my head immediately.
I see a bare arm gleam
at the poolâs edge and think I
might just believe in Innisfree,
in the guillotine operator
shading his eyes, seeing his wife,
hooking the leather strap to hold the
metal blade before stepping off the wood
platform through the crowd.
I am tired and volcanic. I would never
have made a good Penelope.
Iâd have taken the suitors one
by one on the infinite cushions
of the daybed with its view
of the sea, then had them
brutalized by dogs. One of the boys
paddles to the concrete
edge of the water, levers out
to his waist, then falls back in,
he does this again and again
and it is the most pleasurable
thing in the world,
obviously, to use
himself between mediums
like this to be
briefly, perfectly,
both latch and key.
El Dictador
Sometimes I think he is all of us. Sitting on the tailgates of our cars
in the tumbling light, staring out at the weighted storm that will not
pass overhead but slant south missing us, a lodestone of the berry farms,
pine forests, the volcano that coughs. Playing each track as a balm.
There was that moment, sang Shirley Horn, when my heart,
sitting beside the back tire, beat wildly against its instrument case. When
the white bird picked its way closer and ate...
