metrical forms of the apocalypse http://www.asondheim.org/metrical.mp3 (tabla) "It is not, again, "what is to be done," but "what is the doing." And it is insufficient to abjure the doing, as in the notion there can be no lyric poetry, perhaps no poetry, after the Holocaust, that other holocaust that continues in yet other forms. This bypasses, not only doing, but thinking that may yet reveal another dawn in the midst of dusk. One might say in return, all dawns are ruptured. The day is ruptured by the night. What remains, what is never ruptured: ground zero - one might say the substance of ground zero, but here there is no divisibility; one fails and falters with the other."
