Poetry. Translated from the Frenchby Rosmarie Waldrop. "Anne Portugal's exercise in aphaeresis is itself 'quisite'! Its inability, or perhaps refusal, at every turn to locate its verbal origin; the constant hollowing out by means of the sidelined asterisks; the sexy aloofness of the object of the speaker's affection; all establish provocative resistances to what otherwise seeks to be sequenced, numberically ordered, we might even say 'omantic'"--Andrew Zawacki.
