Quipu Arthur Sze by Arthur Sze 9781619321038, 1619321033 instant download after payment.

Quipu was a tactile recording device for the pre-literate Inca, an assemblage of colored knots on cords. In his eighth collection of poetry, Arthur Sze utilizes quipu as a unifying metaphor, knotting and stringing luminous poems that move across cultures and time, from elegy to ode, to create a precarious splendor.

Revelation never comes as a fern uncoiling

a frond in mist; it comes when I trip on a root,

slap a mosquito on my arm. We go on, but stop

when gnats lift into a cloud as we stumble into

a bunch of rose apples rotting on the ground.

Long admired for his poetic fusions of science, history, and anthropology, in Quipu, Sze’s lines and language are taut and mesmerizing, nouns can become verbs—“where is passion that orchids the body?”—and what appears solid and -stable may actually be fluid and volatile.

A point of exhaustion can become a point of renewal:

it might happen as you observe a magpie on a branch,

or when you tug at a knot and discover that a grief

disentangles, dissolves into air. Renewal is not

possible to a calligrapher who simultaneously

draws characters with a brush in each hand;

it occurs when the tip of a brush slips yet swerves

into flame . . .
