Bio
Call yourself alive?

Call yourself alive? Look, I promise you that for the
first time you’ll feel your pores opening like fish
mouths, and you’ll actually be able to hear your blood
surging through all those lanes, and you’ll feel light
gliding across the cornea like the train of a dress. For
the first time you’ll be aware of gravity like a thorn in
your heel, and your shoulder blades will ache for want
of wings.

Call yourself alive? I promise you you’ll be deafened
by dust falling on the furniture, you’ll feel your
eyebrows turning to two gashes, and every memory
you have – will begin at Genesis.

(‘Temptation’, 1966 – Call Yourself Alive? The love poems of Nina Cassian, 1988)

Everything I am is due to the influence of literature.
