Читать книгу Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved - Gregory Orr - Страница 5
Contents
Оглавление4 It’s not magic; it isn’t a trick
7 The poem is written on the body
12 I want to go back
13 How easy to give up hope
14 There’s nothing occult going on
15 Can a river flow beside itself ?
16 When Sappho wrote
17 How radiant and pale
18 Salt on the roads melts
19 The river has a single song
20 The world comes into the poem
21 Smart or dumb? Who cares?
22 Those who wake
23 If death, then grief, right?
24 Suppose you could evoke
25 Those dreams in which a phantom
26 Everything dies. Nothing dies.
27 Silence
28 The beloved has gone away
29 Some of the poems are clear
30 Tears and laughter
31 Reading and writing poems
32 Lighten up, lighten up
33 Too many mysteries
Part Two
1 To feel, to feel, to feel
2 Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
3 Or is it loss ahead
4 Concentrating on those motions
5 To lose the loved one
6 Even the saddest poems have journeyed
7 Nothing more beautiful than the body
8 Someone else called out
9 Why should the grave be final?
10 Listening to Bach’s solo suites
11 Now the snow is falling
12 It’s winter and I think of spring
13 I never planned to die
14 When my kids look for me I hope
15 How small the eyes of hate
16 How large the eyes of love
17 Scratched with a stick in snow
18 To become the tree
19 Could it all be said in a single poem
20 Who can measure the gratitude
21 When we’re young there’s lots
22 To add our own suffering
23 To hold a pane of glass
24 Nesting dolls
25 Of course, a book about living
26 When you are sad
27 To be alive
28 Calm down, calm down
29 So obvious that the voice can cease
30 Facing away from the light
31 Weeping, weeping, weeping
32 The human heart
33 To loll in a sensual torpor
34 I saw my own body
35 How to exhaust the inexhaustible?
36 Time to shut up
37 We’d only just met
38 Snow on the tree branch
39 Tired of the body?
40 You might think
Part Three
1 All the different books you read
2 You can read the world
3 How badly the world needs words
4 How the crocus pops up
5 The dandelion, too
6 Oh, I know: the beloved
7 They said to me: here
8 Let’s remake the world with words
9 In the spring swamp
10 Weighed down with the weight
11 Humid morning
12 The sun: a hot hand
13 No one is grateful
14 How could that Chinese poet
15 July sun on the green leaves
16 Hummingbird’s furious
17 Whitman’s list of the things he could see
18 Today only a single poem
19 Waking now, and we didn’t even know
20 No one I ever believed said
21 The beloved often
22 Spasm and sadness
23 To Guillaume Apollinaire, the beloved
24 Saying the word
25 Not the first lessons of grief
26 We exist in the mortal world only
27 Skitterbugs on the stream’s surface
28 How is it I’m tired
29 The grapes taste good
30 Some say you’re lucky
31 When you’re afraid
32 How can lines
33 The poet approaches the lectern
Part Four
1 Bittersweet, bittersweet
2 Ripeness of summer
3 Wildness of the world
4 There’s the daisy
5 Yes, our human time is finite
6 Last night, a huge storm
7 All that sorrow
8 When we lost the beloved
9 Rain last night
10 Naked before the beloved
11 No postmortems, please
12 Oh, to be deeply naked
13 I thought I was hunting
14 Long night on the road
15 If we could have the world
16 Autumn with its too-muchness
17 Is the beloved greedy
18 Eyes blurred with tears
19 My mother’s joy
20 What suffering!
21 What did someone cynically
22 A song of resurrection played
23 The world looks
24 When the world
25 Not deepest grief
26 If deepest grief is hell
27 And it happens, of course
28 This room crowded
29 Clearing out the room
30 I put the beloved
31 Not the loss alone
32 Memories: embers
33 Scar they stare at
Part Five
1 Now the leaves are falling fiercely
2 Not to make loss beautiful
3 The beloved moves through the world
4 The world so huge and dark
5 Going to the reading
6 You went to the reading
7 Expecting so much
8 Such a shaking
9 The poem didn’t express
10 That desolation is the door
11 Some days it’s all fuzzy
12 Body of the beloved
13 How lucky we are
14 For me, my brother
15 Invisible distance between
16 Words not just the empty
17 Hold off, rain
18 Where did the beloved go?
19 Even before speech
20 The motions so cautious
21 To see the beloved
22 Were we invited?
23 Acrobatic postures I enjoyed
24 If a peach leads you into the world
25 Autumn
26 Sudden shower
27 Do words outlast
28 Did the beloved die?
29 Why should it all
30 Black marks
31 No longer a part
32 You lost the beloved
33 And if not you, then who?
34 An anthology gathered
35 His song was about the world
