Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "An Orange, A Syllable by Gillian Sze is one of the most beautiful and emotionally resonant works I've read in a long time." My Asian Era blog An Orange, A Syllable details a period of maternal and artistic transformation. This prosimetrical work is a meditation on motherhood, language, and art. The central speaker witnesses the earliest utterances of her child and launches into a poetic inquiry of words themselves, asking, How to measure one's mouth by its words The speaker seeks an answer amidst the language that surrounds her words misspoken, mispronounced, remembered, unwritten and, in doing so, struggles with signification and significance. Each prose poem in the five-part collection darts between the many meanings of "fit" as in "a sudden burst of emotion" or "to be the right size and shape," and the archaic "fytte" (a section of a poem). A text becomes an open mouth, a square day of a calendar, or a bare fragment of a narrative. The final section of the book is an intimate and ekphrastic engagement with the work of Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi. Drawn to Hammershøi's paintings of the empty rooms of his apartment, the speaker recognizes a familiar space of art's insistence.
