LISTEN TO THE SHOW
The PoemTalk team once again went on the road — or, anyway, over the sea — and spent a glorious week in Scotland, talking and filming new discussions of poems with many colleagues. On one of those days we gathered with friends at the Fruitmarket Arts Center in Edinburgh. Poet Iain Morrison, one of the PoemTalkers in this episode and a member of the Fruitmarket staff, helped us coordinate and host this event. The other colloquists are Laynie Browne, Lee Ann Brown, and Anthony Capildeo.

Bernard Noël (1930-2021): State of Air
Bernard Noël
States of Air
tr. Charles Bernstein
for Viera da Silva
we have just the view
the words of wind
this void the land
here the deepening reverses
self-regard
making us leap into our eyes
always the go-and-come
the viewed and the not viewed
the graphing of not there
on that which is there
