On the Long Blue Night

By Eliot Cardinaux

In On the Long Blue Night, Eliot Cardinaux's debut poetry collection, language is a ruined landscape through which the estranged voice of the poem threads a narrow way. As Patrick Pritchett writes, "this is poetry written at the frayed edge of history, ushered by the tutelary spirits of Celan and Mandlestam, full of longing and a deep listening to the silence."

Daily Become Human Again

For Isabel Duarte-Gray

Clutter of branches

in public,

indifferent

language

of a bleak sky

Won't you take what is given,

pain in the branches

ringing the gavel,

cradled like a lamb

The whole

stretching out

in a blanket of tears,

a corporeal fugue
