Poetry by Nicole Brossard, translated from the French with Erín Moure

language I'll say yes from the top of my rib cage
language will you come
out and unearth the salt the certitude

"Between the verbs quivering and streaming, White Piano unfolds its variations like musical scores. A play of resonance between pronouns and persons, freely percussive between prose and poetry, and narrating a constellation of questions, White Piano offers readers a 'language that cultivates its own craters of fire and savoir-vivre." — Quill and Quire
