Demosthenes' Legacy

By Jonathan Monroe

Poetry. Leslie Scalapino writes: "Is DEMOSTHENES' LEGACY a translation of a real Demosthenes or his words or is it, as the impossibility of translation, fiction creating a character? Just as the word 'kinesthesia' translates the sensation of movement (as if the word translates 'muscle sense'), Jonathan Monroe's fragments in DEMOSTHENES' LEGACY are, as only immediate events, 'Nobody's narrative, no one's dream.' The assembled fragments are Monroe's comparison to modern media? Monroe's playful text is a virtual 'muscle sense' of the nature of event at all: 'Webs released in matching threads.'"
