Circumference: Poetry in Translation (Volume 2, Issue 2)

Heim, Stefania

New York Foundation for the Arts

<p>Poetry. "Heim's poems are treasurehouses of carved thought: she is actually thinking, word by word, line by line, and her argument's currents seem to etch patterns in the syntax, like wall carvings made by a delicate and ethical hand. Everything here is transparency, lightness—illuminations sifted through a mind willing to be unsettled by experience's injurious data. Reading these phenomenal and profoundly philosophical poems, I think of still lives by Giorgio Morandi—careful, enigmatic arrangements of the ordinary. Heim's acoustic elegance places her in the front ranks of those who pursue the plainspoken sublime."—Wayne Koestenbaum</p>

<p>Poetry. Winner of the Sawtooth Poetry Prize. The devotions, time-stamped lyrics, and prose-poem meditations that make up HOUR BOOK track the simultaneous experience of two significant life events--a birth and a death--while investigating artistic, historical, philosophical, and political constructions of time. Intertexts range from medieval Books of Hours, to Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, to E.P. Thompson's writings on time and capitalism, to Yoko Ono's performance art. These poems attempt to make the powerful abstraction of time visceral; to turn time into a room we might enter together and explore.</p>
