Anne Gorrick
The Odyssey at Rokeby
A Classical statues broke the river into pieces of winter
The Catskills: a dangerous slate, glanced
common The sky marked underfoot with four directions
over disastrous gardens
deer An enclosure worked with hearts
A common deer, divided from itself
outside a weak entry, locked doors, a crystal balustrade
Suddenly a door opens
divided pieces of furniture moldering in ancient heat
A bed of geraniums spitting their shriveled sheets
from A big room of yellow-stay-pale, yellow stayed pale
19th century portraits hung on wire and more modern portraits
itself hung on wire of apparently the same people, 200 years old
An alchemical parabola
As if all the deposed royalty of Latvia
arranged to meet 40 years after the revolution
on December 14, 2008
Several balloons silver plated
a birthday dangled from the high ceiling
Our oars broke the glass in the windows
and we rowed a “deep broken salt.”
Together, we failed Greek composition
and the power to suffer risk
divided With the river in it, winter broke its glance at the Catskills
met in dangerous extent
Where the edge moves to the sky
and signs were attached
A miserable garden sealed high
from A common male deer, beheaded, divided from its own movement
A 19th century porch, wickered in
its branch knitted workmanship
The door and enormous
Furniture made out of time, deteriorates
own Sudden heat and the bed
A large geranium it’s wrinkled spat
Portraits supplied with yellow stay thin
movement as if the large room was suddenly caught by wire
Furthermore, the same people in appearance overlay
in wire, an alchemical parable
Way royalty everyone where Latvia settles
an agreement on December 14, 2008
The silverwear in plural baloons
birthdays dangled from the ceiling
Salt where we are deep and broken
The failure of the Greek constitution
the power to suffer dangerously
game The river winters in our former concerns
Statues and a defective view of the Catskills
Bluestone indicates an attachment to the sky
The miserable garden is highly sealed
separated The red game separated from its head
divided from its movements
from Centuries, furniture and knitting
The technical skills evident in the address
Locked doors supplied a weak entry to individual parts
Furniture, which the old times, if the door spends
its which you opened, over suddenly to worsen the bed heated up
If the large pelargonie approached to break your lower jaw
The century was clearly supplied with yellow
head thinly in large areas, caught in wire
The same people, their appearance overlaid
in a wire, alchemical parable
Latvia agrees on December 14, 2008 at Rokeby
The silver plural in balloons, birthdays in view
They rowed in view of salt, in which are deep and were defective
The Greek condition suffers dangerously
Generally In the winter, its agos statue-related
in the slightest defect of the Catskills:
a volatile river view
because of its edge, the Hudson and the sky
An indication of the upper reaches of migration, enclosed
it A pitiful garden surrounds the center, possibly makes use of it
Generally it is because a masculine red competition
has separated the deer’s head
Plastic separates its movements into stillness
Address knitted to technical skill
is part 19th century, part furniture
An arm’s rest, locked faces with each other
Furniture, former days, if the gate expended
you open, the heat worsens. Suddenly the bed
because is wound with a deer’s lower jaws
A portrait of the building
supplied by yellow stays in a thin wide range
caught in wire
Moreover concerns the day
Everybody’s way is payment
Latvia agrees with December 14, 2008, agrees with it
in revolutionary conference, later in Rokeby
The balloons’ silver plural numbers
Because he rowed in salt, we are profound
in slight defect
The Greek situation stays behind and suffers dangerously
that In the statue of winter, a temporary river of opinion
The Catskills fast in their defects
We meet in degree, in dangerous fields
Because of the slate edges, then the sky
separates Superior migrations closed the lamentable garden
stamped highly
Generally, it is a masculine red competition
the head that separates the head from its address
Weak entrances, thick partitioned walls
from You open up previous days
and that aggrevates a sudden heat in the bed
its address which is namely the lower jaw nearest the wound
We build a picture of the 19th century
a sojourn in yellow, a fine wide scale stopped in wire
200 years of a handful of identical people
Rokeby delayed by December
They lined up in salt
separated The Catskills volatile prospects are imperfect in winter
the river where previous mimics worry
The sky indicates misery
A general separated from his own motion
from in 19 bites
The centuries and furniture of technical personnel
An attachment to the personal knits this address
its This yearly you writes and deteriorates the bed
which in case, comes to be hot
own Suddenly little by little time passes over the furniture
Says again the pelargonie stamped in low-end compliance
motion which is big and breaks
A lifelike portrait rebuilds the 19th century
The century in yellow stays caught in wire thinly
The lifelike portrait of a building
worries about the appearance of wire
and it, the mouth (him) is indentical
Alchemy in parables in 2008: Latvia
makes a motion on December 14th, in the place which makes a motion
in Rokeby
Balloons justiced in condensed water
We have been deeply stirred in salt, imperfect, cut
The Greek condition to leave, them dangerously
Permanence The Catskills are imperfect with winter
the river precedes them like concern
It is hard to meet in the dangerous width
Of him that sticks directions onto slate

Permanence sealed and unwrapped
The male which is generally separated from his own movement
The centuries attached to furniture

The bed which if, would come down to be hot

“Thereby mixing the imperfect salt, a summation in place, depth

We suffer in our poetic nationalisms
The The cancelable prospect found in the Hudson

Consequently there is a realistic construction

It is an imperfect Catskills winter
canceling all prospects in the Hudson
The winter will break statues classically
along the dangerous widths of the world
Four valleys spilled with a milky sky

Our stamped happy permanent personnel
The century and its technical difficulties:
refrigeration, burned mesh, prohibitive scale
This is the gate of the new year and it writes us down
Furniture is no longer a process, the stamp
that indication a physical transaction
Big parts and big tillage

an exercise in our own portraiture
own Rokeby assembles itself on December 14, 2008
in reduction, resistance, suffering
portraiture in that “deep broken salt”
Anne Gorrick's poetry has previously appeared in many journals including: American Letters and Commentary, Bird Dog, Coconut, the Cortland Review, Dislocate, eratio, Fence, Fish Drum, For Immediate Release, Glitterpony, Good Foot, Gutcult, Heaven Bone, Hunger Magazine, MiPOesias, No Tell Motel, Petroglyph (Utah State University), RealPoetik, the Seneca Review, Situation, Shearsman, the South Carolina Review (University of South Carolina), Sulfur, word for/word, and Yellow Silk. Her first full-length book of poetry, Kyotologic, was published in Fall 2008 by Shearsman Books (Exeter, UK).
She writes: "My work inhabits a space embodying both place and machine, and is informed by living near New York's Hudson River my whole life. I also am captivated by all kinds of mechanical gardens - trains and their tracks, cars, tools, senseless metals. I am currently working on a series of poems that are experiments with translation engines, creating sense into nonsense back into sense again. I am hostage to the accident, the fragment, the unexpected. The experience of putting language through a mechanical process makes words more into things and then somehow more malleable, more surprising."
