Translations from the Catalan By Sharon Dolin Gemma Gorga was born in Barcelona in 1968, where she is a professor of medieval and Renaissance Spanish literature. A pain known by caves roots ears and women who have learned how to grow inward. If they ever grew inward earth’s tunnel would be pierced with pain.

The eraser, to erase the word before she could say it. The pencil, so she could gnaw the lead until she found the vagus nerve of the word.
Good Manners The summer she turned seven they gave her a wooden pencil case with a pencil and eraser. Un dolor que coneixen coves i arrels i orelles i dones, que han après a créixer endins. Si mai creixen endins és perforant el túnel terrós del dolor. El Sentit del Creixement Flors i barrets i ungles i portes creixen enfora. La goma, per esborrar la paraula abans de dir-la. El llapis, perquè en rosegués la mina fins a trobar el nervi vague de la paraula.
POETRY Two Catalan Poems by Gemma Gorga La bona educació L’estiu que complia set anys li van regalar un estoig de fusta amb un llapis i una goma. Wright taught at Brown University for over thirty years.In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: Wright has received numerous honors for her poetry, including the National Book Critics Circle Award. She did not want the stump to linger as a reminder.īorn in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, C. Herrick wanted the tree cut to the grass. Herrick said her grandson was going to be so mad when he came to town to find his favorite climber gone. George and Nannette Herrick allowed me to watch their best-loved beech be brought to the ground. Honoring Wright's lifelong fascination with books as objects, this final work is a three-panel hardcover that encloses the body of text, illustrated with striking color photographs of beech trees by artist Denny Moers. Written in Wright's singular prosimetric style, this "memoir with beech trees" demonstrates the power of words to conserve, preserve, and bear witness. Before Wright's unexpected death in 2016, she was deeply engaged in years of ambling research to better know this tree-she visited hundreds of beech trees, interviewed arborists, and delved into the etymology, folk lore, and American history of the species. Wright has been writing some of the greatest poetry-cum-prose you can find in American literature." -Dave EggersĬasting Deep Shade is a passionate, poetic exploration of humanity's shared history with the beech tree. Wright belongs to a school of exactly one." -The New York Times
