Description
A collection of love poems addressed to an adverb, Anon meditates on the temporal at once between desire and language.
From the playful verses of Slovenias Tomaz Salamun to the brushstrokes of an Edo period painting, Two Gibbons Reaching for the Moon by Japans Ito Jakuchu, a character for the displaced Beloved emerges in this tapestry of time and art across borders.
In Anon, the Beloved reflects: How might translating a human experience, from one language to the next, be an act of longing for the anonymous Other? Or how might this longing for beauty, and the wordless face, heal us both? How might Eros, in exile, respond? With these questions, Vietnams Mekong delta becomes the books central force. Endangered gibbons swing from the ruins of ecocide, and each imagerose, ape, and riverweaves itself into an undercurrent of postcolonial time.
