Clarice Lispector, From An Apprenticeship, Or The Book Of Pleasures (trans. Stefan Tobler) [ID'd]

life isn't a joke because in the middle of the day you die.
A human being's most pressing need was to become a human being.

KMD: What has collaboration made possible within your practice as an individual poet? Relatedly, in what ways has collaborating transformed or deepened your engagement with the lyric?

MD: I’ve tried to work that way in my own poems ever since, letting the language move and unfold and not try to be in control all the time. Not that I ever felt that I was a so-called Maker. In fact, I have an allergy about that. I don’t think poetry is holy. If anything, collaborating with my brother has made me more receptive to outside influences of all kinds, from the language itself, or a passing conversation outside my kitchen window, an ad on the radio, anything at all could make its way into a poem and help it sing.

C.G. Jung, From The Red Book: Liber Novus

C.G. Jung, from The Red Book: Liber Novus

Text ID: He whose desire turns away from outer things, reaches the place of the soul. If he does not find the soul, the horror of emptiness will overcome him, and fear will drive him with a whip lashing time and again in a desperate endeavor and a blind desire for the hollow things of the world. He becomes a fool through his endless desire, and forgets the way of his soul, never to find her again. He will run after all things, and will seize hold of them, but he will not find his soul, since he would find her only in himself.
