Text
The text is primarily a fragmented tracing of phrases from the five-part Louise Glück poem Landscape. For the most part phonemes and vowel sounds are used. The work ends with a sentence — How do we stand at ruins? — taken from the essay, Standing at the Ruins by Sofia Samatar. For orientaNon, these are the original phrases from the third and fi[h Glück poems:
3.
A[erward there was nothing le[
…
The horses don’t understand it —
… where is home.
To what would you lose a year of your life?
5.
I have been lost before, I have been cold before.
