I told you what was in my heart. You asked me to prove it, so the next day, I brought round the x-ray. I showed you what was in my heart. You asked me to explain it, so the next day, i gave you the definition of pain I described you Weiterlesen
Refering to the poem Jean-Claude Van Damme: Years after having watched this way too cheesy movie for the very first time, I ask myself is it really OK to lose? To get your victory stolen away only a second before achieving it? In fact, my dad back then just taught me to wait for Weiterlesen
Jean-Claude Van Damme II Now Days Unawareness Years after having watched this way too cheesy movie for the very first time, I ask myself is it really OK to lose? To get your victory stolen away only a second before achieving it? In fact, my dad back then just taught me to wait for the Weiterlesen
Infinite Lives (Try, try, try again) I stand in front of a dark corridor. A black figure at the other end of the corridor. We are face to face, looking at us, so that he can running up to me. He starts to run, I run to escape. I can feel how the ground dissolves Weiterlesen
Ross Sutherland: A Second Opinion A Second Opinion burden of proof evidence unrest destruction disaster ignorance scepticism uncertainty suspense alarming misunderstanding protection on the way out by Lena
Hello this is Ross Sutherland. I’m here to give some thoughts on my poem “Richard Branson”. Though they are just thoughts! Please feel free to ignore them if they contradict your own thoughts. This is a poem about money. As you can imagine, most people who call themselves a poet don’t take home much of Weiterlesen
Hi this is Ross Sutherland! The poet. Not to be mistaken for Ross Sutherland the rugby team. In fact there are quite a few other Ross Sutherlands. I follow their activity closely. To begin with, I did it by accident (mostly searching for my own name on Twitter). Then I began to follow them deliberately. Weiterlesen
Hello this is Ross Sutherland, the author of Jean Claude Van Damme. I’m here to talk a little more about it. It’s quite satisfying writing these notes! I’m enjoying it a lot. Usually, if I was performing these poems onstage, I would give an introduction that would cover quite a lot of this information. Agh, Weiterlesen
Hi this is Ross Sutherland, providing some extra notes on my poem “A Second Opinion”. I think this is one of the most straight-forward poems I submitted! It’s a pretty heavy-handed metaphor, but at the same time, the poem is a pretty useful key to understanding my other poems. In it, you get the story Weiterlesen
Hi this is Ross Sutherland- just thought I would add some contextual notes for my poem “Zangief”. I wrote the piece back in 2007, as part of a book of sonnets. I wrote a sonnet for every character from Street Fighter 2. There were twelve in total. I began to imagine the book as a Weiterlesen
Hello! This is Ross Sutherland. I’m going to talk about my poem Infinite Lives. I thought I’d tell you the story of how and why I wrote it. The poem was written in 2012 (published in my collection ‘Emergency Window’). It was inspired by this sentence: “A poem tries to escape it’s own subject matter” Weiterlesen
Auf Konstantin Ames Vorrede zu irgendwas antwortet Stefan Mesch auf Facebook.
Ich habe mir Ross Sutherlands Poesien angesehen, bevor ich zugestimmt habe, seine Poesien zu übersetzen und in einen möglichen Zusammenhang zu stellen. Ich nenne das mal hochtrabend Interpretation. Meine Übersetzung, das war meine Überlegung, kann nur dann gewinnen, wenn sie meine Übersetzung ist; kann nur gewinnen, wenn ich diese Sachen auch vortragen, und nicht nur Weiterlesen
I looked at the poetry of Ross Sutherland before deciding to accept the invitation to translate it. I tried to look at these poems in a context-making way. Pompously I call that interpretation. My translation of it can only be of some worth if it is my translation, only when I am able to perform Weiterlesen
balpbek zu: A Second Opinion
Loving both of you is killing me. Thinking about both of you at the same time destroys me. I don’t know who I am loving. Mum says that the second one is the right one. But when the second one is the right one… Why do I still love the first one ? (Berna)
