Three Poems in POETRY
Feeling grateful/excited/surprised. They are the first to be published from Etymologies and were all workshopped here, so thanks for that. I even got my name on the back cover!
They read somewhat differently out context, but they fit the issue's theme: monumentality.
If you want to read them in the order they will appear in the book, it is: bumblebee --> architect --> Babel.
You can find them here.

That's excellent news Walter! And wholly deserved. Congratulations!
I'm very much looking forward to the book.

Absolutely fantastic, Walter!
This series has been one of the most distinctive, extraordinary things I've seen workshopped here. Even when they've left me scratching my head, I've always known that to be a "me" problem.
Well done and well deserved!

Walter, this is very cool. Wish I’d been here for the workshopping. If I wasn’t in a country shut off from the rest of the world, I’d order the book to see if that loose word was ever found. A de(con)structive version of Jenga. Well done!

Yay! That is excellent news. They are brilliant poems, I think - strange and intense and different, a kind of critical skewering of language (yup, I was about to mention Lefebvre again).
I am SO glad they are out there in a place where they'll get kudos and validation and all the things they deserve.

Good for you, ...and good for Poetry which has been pretty unreadable for a while now.
These are fascinating. I'm in the middle of Roberto Calasso's The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, so I'm primed for Etymologies. These three are great and I'm looking forward to your book.RM
