Abstract

The Loan Childhood is the loan from which we draw our lease of life. No creed of Freudian dogma holds the mystery of this; how from such a seed (O innocent homunculus) evolves the thing we are. Then comes the wonder of still another mystery; how in that ancient eden of innocence and delight grew the haunting image of what we might have been. -Joseph Harris June is seismic with chicory, the roadside blue as burning moonshine, a gauntlet of lapis sparks. Cicadas begin their dulcimer drone, sunset lights the magnesium ribbon of the New, clouds forget themselves. lettuce, Every evening huge bowls of wilted pea-shelling on the porch, applesauce thickening on the stove, Rhine wine lifted to dusk. prehistories of jade. Summer mists down chicory-petal, skies dissolving along the mountaintops. The horizon is a gentle coupling. -Jeff Mann White water fills our temples, rushing
