Lydia Davis

The poet's novel

Laynie Browne

In “Composition as Explanation” Gertrude Stein writes: “The only thing that is different from one time to another is what is seen and what is seen depends upon how everybody is doing everything.” [1].

Lydia Davis is a writer who is a great influence and inspiration to “everyone,” when everyone includes readers of experimental fiction as well as a myriad of poets “doing everything.” Davis is a master of short fiction and extremely short fiction, as well as a celebrated translator, novelist and poet.

At a recent reading at Bryn Mawr College, Davis addressed the audience at first by noting the grandeur of the room. She said, “I’ll just stand here and be impressed for a while.”

Aaron McCollough: “Four Preliminary Notes” & “A Stray Note” from Underlight

Jerome Rothenberg

[Reprinted from Underlight, published 2012 by Ugly Duckling Presse]

In Contact with the Ground (Personal Sun)

I needed to match our feelings, mine and the other living things.

May I tell you how this became deadly without polluting you.

I reached out for the dog that lay on the downed wire that led to

the lightning.

I put the wrong things in my body till my skin extended to harder

surfaces. Canals.

Practiced the sacrifice. Bought a gun.
