Myung Mi Kim, [Exordium: 'In what way names'] 
from Commons, 2002
In what way names were applied to things. Filtration. Not every word that has been applied, still exists. Through proliferation and differentiation. Airborn. Here, this speck and this speck you missed.


Numbers in cell division. Spheres of doubt. The paradigm’s stitchery of unrelated points. What escapes like so much cotton batting. The building, rather, in flames. Does flight happen in an order.



Dates to impugn and divluge. The laws were written on twelve tablets of bronze which were fastened to the rostra. Trembling hold. Manner of variation and shift. Vacillation hung by tactile and auditory cues.




Myung Mi Kim, Pollen Fossil Record
from Commons, 2002

Book of Famine, Book of Attempt, Book of Money 
Book of Labor, Book of Scribes 
Book of Utterances, Book of Hollow Organs, 
Book of Tending, Book of Wars, Book of Household, 
Book of Protection, Book of Grief, Book as Inquiry

Swerves, oddities, facts, miscues, remnants — threnody and meditation — 
the perpetually incomplete task of tracing what enters into the field of perception 
(the writing act) — its variegated and grating musics, cadences, and temporalities.
Book as specimen 
Book as instruction
The book emerges through cycles of erosion and accretion




Myung Mi Kim, from River Antes, 2006

Susan Howe, excerpt from Hinge Picture, 1974

“Crawl in,” said the witch, “and see if it’s hot enough to put the bread in.”
—Hansel and Gretel

All roads lead to rooms.

                  my

               Oarsman, oarsman,
                  Where have you been?
               I’ve been to Leafy,
               I’ve dismembered the Queen.

               Oarsman, oarsman
                  What did you there?
               I hid in a cleft,
               I braided the air.



hearing our oars where their freed goatsteps sped   
and are silent
by an extinct river
O Babylon when I lay down
alert for sliding cataracts
where in corridors the print of dancing feet   
beyond poise I am prey
posing in snow-light
being of human form
clothed in the scales of a fish

[...]

Divorce I manumission round
with a gentle blow the casting branch
my right hand My covenant
was garment concealed or mask or matron
Proceed with measured step   
the field and action of the law   
Like day the tables twelve   
whip torch and radiate halo   
Sky brewing coming storm   
Faraway over the hill
when Hell was harrowed
and earth was brought to heel   
how the hills spread away   
how the walls crumbled   
deathcolored frozen in time
Where was the senate   zone and horizon
Where are the people   mountain of light to the east   
Tell them I sail for the deep sea rest
a painless extraction a joyful day   
bird of passage over all I love   
Goodbye to all the little fir trees   
of the future
               far   off    in    the    dread
               blindness    I   heard   light
               eagerly   I   struck   my foot
               against    a      stone      and
               raised    a    din    at    the
               sound    the   blessed    Paul
               shut   the   door   which   had
               been   open   and   bolted   it

Gertrude Stein, excerpts from Tender Buttons:  Objects, Food, Rooms (1914)

from “Objects”

A CARAFE, THAT IS A BLIND GLASS. 

A kind in glass and a cousin, a spectacle and nothing strange a single hurt color and an arrangement in a system to pointing. All this and not ordinary, not unordered in not resembling. The difference is spreading. 

GLAZED GLITTER. 

Nickel, what is nickel, it is originally rid of a cover. 

The change in that is that red weakens an hour. The change has come. There is no search. But there is, there is that hope and that interpretation and sometime, surely any is unwelcome, sometime there is breath and there will be a sinecure and charming very charming is that clean and cleansing. Certainly glittering is handsome and convincing. 

[…]

A SUBSTANCE IN A CUSHION. 

The change of color is likely and a difference a very little difference is prepared. Sugar is not a vegetable. 

[…]

NOTHING ELEGANT. 

A charm a single charm is doubtful. If the red is rose and there is a gate surrounding it, if inside is let in and there places change then certainly something is upright. It is earnest. 

MILDRED'S UMBRELLA. 

A cause and no curve, a cause and loud enough, a cause and extra a loud clash and an extra wagon, a sign of extra, a sac a small sac and an established color and cunning, a slender grey and no ribbon, this means a loss a great loss a restitution. 

[…]

A BOX. 

A large box is handily made of what is necessary to replace any substance. Suppose an example is necessary, the plainer it is made the more reason there is for some outward recognition that there is a result. 

A box is made sometimes and them to see to see to it neatly and to have the holes stopped up makes it necessary to use paper. 

A custom which is necessary when a box is used and taken is that a large part of the time there are three which have different connections. The one is on the table. The two are on the table. The three are on the table. The one, one is the same length as is shown by the cover being longer. The other is different there is more cover that shows it. The other is different and that makes the corners have the same shade the eight are in singular arrangement to make four necessary. 

Lax, to have corners, to be lighter than some weight, to indicate a wedding journey, to last brown and not curious, to be wealthy, cigarettes are established by length and by doubling. 

Left open, to be left pounded, to be left closed, to be circulating in summer and winter, and sick color that is grey that is not dusty and red shows, to be sure cigarettes do measure an empty length sooner than a choice in color. 

Winged, to be winged means that white is yellow and pieces pieces that are brown are dust color if dust is washed off, then it is choice that is to say it is fitting cigarettes sooner than paper. 

An increase why is an increase idle, why is silver cloister, why is the spark brighter, if it is brighter is there any result, hardly more than ever. 

[…]

A LONG DRESS. 

What is the current that makes machinery, that makes it crackle, what is the current that presents a long line and a necessary waist. What is this current. 

What is the wind, what is it. 

Where is the serene length, it is there and a dark place is not a dark place, only a white and red are black, only a yellow and green are blue, a pink is scarlet, a bow is every color. A line distinguishes it. A line just distinguishes it. 



from “Rooms”

Act so that there is no use in a centre. A wide action is not a width. A preparation is given to the ones preparing. They do not eat who mention silver and sweet. There was an occupation. 

A whole centre and a border make hanging a way of dressing. This which is not why there is a voice is the remains of an offering. There was no rental. 

So the tune which is there has a little piece to play. And the exercise is all there is of a fast. The tender and true that makes no width to hew is the time that there is question to adopt. 

[…]

If the centre has the place then there is distribution. That is natural. There is a contradiction and naturally returning there comes to be both sides and the centre. That can be seen from the description. 

[…]

Why is the name changed. The name is changed because in the little space there is a tree, in some space there are no trees, in every space there is a hint of more, all this causes the decision.
