Recovery: A Poem

J.L. Conrad

4.9/5 (10820 ratings)

Description:J. L. Conrad’s Recovery inhabits a dreamscape filled with fragments of conversation, remembered loved ones, and the profound disorientation that accompanies loss. Written over the span of a week, this poetic sequence invites us to imagine how a body flooded with grief or physical pain becomes self-identified with these a takeover that Elaine Scarry describes as annihilation, blurring “all that is inside and outside” and knotting them together. If grief is an unreality that parallels dreams—this doesn’t feel real—then poetry, with its heightened awareness, is what brings us back to the world outside the body. The incantatory poems in this sequence offer a way of moving beyond the self at a time when the only way through is through. Or, in the words that Shoshana Felman offers about Paul Celan’s poetry, “To seek reality is both to set out to explore the injury inflicted by it—to turn back on, and try to penetrate, the state of being stricken, wounded by reality [ wirklichkeitswund ]—and to attempt, at the same time, to reemerge from the paralysis of this state, to engage reality [ Wirklichkeit suchend ] as an advent, a movement, and as a vital, critical necessity of moving on.” As Conrad’s poetry provides glimpses into questions of human frailty, loss, and sentience itself, the speaker in Recovery looks not for transcendence but embraces a body marked and wounded, a body trailing ghosts....From “Recovery”In my dream we were in a treeand we were suffering. In this case,suffering with could not alleviatesuffering. It proved impossible to overlookthe pits in our stomachs.The car lurched forward, into the kneesof the pedestrian, the line of pilgrims.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
