Sorting Facts, or Nineteen Ways of Looking at Marker by Susan Howe (State University of New York, Buffalo)
Part of our revived "Poetry Pamphlet Series", Sorting Facts is Susan Howes masterful meditation on the filmmaker Chris Marker, whose film stills are interspersed throughout.
An excerpt:
Sorting word-facts I only know an apparition. Scribble grammar
has no neighbor. In the name of reason I need to record something
because I am a survivor in this ocean.
