February 25 I had the pleasure to attend the copyright of Teresa Radziewicz promoting her latest book of poetry Fri Sonia name change issued by the increasingly thriving publishing Squaring Lodz. The meeting was held in Lodz House of Culture, and led them to Peter Grobliński.
light in the memory of a previous book, the author ( left side, the Association of Literary them. Baczyński KK, Lodz, 2009), the new collection of poems was expecting a lot and I can honestly say that neither Teresa Radziewicz nor Sonia did not disappoint my expectations. Especially noteworthy are the excellent illustrations by Magdalena Moscow.
In the series there are still lines would like to share with you a poem last Teresa Radziewicz. I also encourage you to read a short interview with the author.
last line
consist of only the important words
such as counting and waiting
there is room for the mother with his eyes gazing
and girls had to live in a common
- invented the names of the colors of dresses entangled tresses
is the city where the first match to
grooves and the way that Tomorrow will stop hurting
yellow light behind the clouds wypiaskowanych
will succeed that warms
embankment
zafaluje and check that place knows how to call the memory
harelip will grow
flaw can not be covered or transform
Robert Rutkowski: Undoubtedly boat likes you and probably likes to reciprocate. Your latest volume, change the name of Sonia , just appeared in the Lodz publishing Squaring, left side two years earlier effort (including the Lodz), the Literary Association. KK Baczyński. Why did you decide to re-release in Lodz?
Teresa Radziewicz: Robert, do you think that such a budding poet like me is able to choose the publications As ulęgałkach? But seriously speaking, of course, that she wanted to spend Squaring my book, it was important for me. Besides I really like the aesthetics of their publications, these books have a soul.
RR: One of the first thing that strikes the eye when you open your new book is the lack of punctuation and capital letters, even in their own names. Why the change? left side, if I remember correctly, keep punctuation.
TR: left side is more narrative, at times close to her poetic prose, and therefore, my opinion, it was necessary punctuation, which organized the text to some extent. In the book, changing the name of Sonia of punctuation could give the assumption that the function of organizing, more than in the first book, meet record, the layout lines.
RR: Before going to the line, which I would like to talk to you, one more question from the general category. Do you write Sonia ... , thus creating a character and placing it in certain situations lyrical, not obawiałaś that you enter the land which was already quite well-trodden by herbertowskiego Mr. Cogito? Of course I'm not talking about your poetics, because this is definitely a separate, I mean more of the same treatment literature. Such a comparison is self-imposed and it is difficult to escape it.
TR: Hmm ... as if to say here ... not afraid, because I do not think of Mr. Cogito. Or rather - I never thought that one compares with Sonia herbertowskim hero, because it's not those records, a different purpose, different gender, different, as you say, poetry. I should think a little regret, because it is very close to me, Herbert, and Mr. Cogito.
RR apologize in advance for this trivial question, but the venture. Title last line suggests that it is at the end of the book, yet it is not. Why did you decide it is not perversely placed at the end, while giving such a title. Why did you make this treatment?
TR: But you do not have to apologize for. I realized that by placing the last line , contrary to what the title suggests, is not the end of the book of poems, "exposure" on such questions. Anyway, in your question has been partially give the answer: "you decide it is not perversely placed at the end ...." I just meant to be - ironically. Of course, editor of the book, Peter Grobliński also asked me a similar question. But it would be boring if was the last line as the last in a volume ... This is a kind of "zmyłka. It should not be at the end, because then it is - contrary to appearances - something else. As in life. Something is happening, we think that it's over, that nothing more could be done and then life goes on ...
RR: In the last line can see clearly two issues most important, in my opinion, also for the whole book: the process of naming and the process of losing (more on this in a moment), which is a good case can be the connected. Calling it the more you discover / domestication of the existing people, feelings, places, things, etc., or perhaps more of their creation?
TR: This is a very difficult question. What is more call, to tame, or creating an? I think this and this at a time. What has not been named - does not exist. And even if there is foreign, and by that fact alone - threatening. Is called and becomes closer.
RR I do not know whether I will use too much mental shortcut, but the naming process, bringing with them a certain value nadda, so a change by which something is gained, while making something that we are losing. It's that proverbial "something for something." I do not know whether you agree with me, but if so, I would ask what you lose by, and what we gain in the process of naming, but also in the process of changing names, first names? When I checked the importance of Sonia name turned out that paradoxically, it defines a person who appreciates above all the unity, and also wants to extract from this union ...
TR: not checked on the importance of the name of my heroine. Zaskoczyłeś me what is clear from this analysis. And again you ask a question that is very difficult to answer. Naming, and so the word, the language associated inextricably with the culture, civilization - something that is opposed to nature, symbolizing the more feeling and action. I guess it was loose - the ability to think, this initial capacity, which probably still be observed in contact with the infant's mother, in dealing with children who are able to express feelings without words, and only later, when they begin to speak, use language as a means of communication, they begin to - paradoxically - to lose This communication (answer intuitively.) A profit? Even literature. "Something for something."
RR: You write: last line of / consists of the same important words / how to count and waiting. When on several occasions asked me about why in his last two books do not use capital letters, usually answered that I do not believe that some words were more important than others. You that weight in the opening line stresses, but not formally evaluates. Why?
TR: Perversely, even perverse. Moreover, often it happens that the same word for different people, indeed, for the same person, just in different situations, may have a different value. One is sometimes more important, and another time invalid. In Soni ... everyone read the selected word with a capital letter (laughs ).
RR: Correct me please if a canter in the interpretation. last line is my first line of the above-mentioned loss (apparently you can see it in the second stanza), about waiting for a better tomorrow ( way that will stop hurting tomorrow ), and finally to resign and surrender (yellow light behind wypiaskowanych clouds / will succeed that warms ) - surrender, which can be read as more ambiguous, as if going outside the poem. How much can be read autotematycznie corresponding with each title and the last stanza? You can not move away from poetry, because this is a flaw which can not be cover / or transform ?
TR: Sam probably do not even know how much you are wrong. Or he is a well - as a poet - know. This is a poem about loss, hope and finally, surrender. Is the story. And so you can read it. You went further and, combining punch line of the title, you've discovered another layer line. It is very precious to me, so to read it. You're right, we are in such blemishes, marks, which "grows" after any surgery or operations.
RR: How do you know the line, who happens to be incurred, will be the last? You never know and that is why the latter is not a volume? And if so, whether it is possible to write a poem that does not consist of the same important words?
TR: little perverted (again) turn around what you say. You never know if a line that results will not last. A when will it be? Imagine that. You write a poem, which turns out to be the last. Every attempt would be the line that does not consist solely of valid words. Only if then it will still be a poem? Same questions. Sometimes I think that reading poetry is primarily asking questions.
RR: Sonia name change is certainly a book to which I return. I congratulate and look forward to your new lines, because the appetite grows ...
TR: Well at such a time can tell the author? Why thank you and this is doing.
