from Fauna and Flora
Plant life at night.
With the inaction of chlorophyll, the exhalation of carbon dioxide, like a
long-drawn sigh of satisfaction, as when the lowest string of stringed
instruments, as slackened as may be, vibrates at the limits of music, of
pure sound, of silence.

Asparagus, mimosas, magnolias,
carnations are the subject of these poems. Lee Fahnestock has long been an
admirer of Ponge, her translation of Ponge’s The Making of the Pré was
published by the University of Missouri Press in 1979. “The whole oeuvre of Ponge reflects the fervor of his loving struggle with language.” L.F.
This
phrase equally applies to Lee Fahnestock’s work Joanna Gunderson
