Torture Papers

Andrew Mossin

4.9/5 (21856 ratings)

Description:“Adorno famously wrote, "To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric." Andrew Mossin's Torture Papers manifests that not to write Auschwitz (or for Mossin Abu Grahib, Jedwabne, and Soviet gulags) through the modalities of poetry may be barbaric. Through deft attention to poetic language and form, Mossin approaches ever closer to his documentary sources as witness becomes memorial and memorial becomes witness. It is this double directionality that Mossin so impressively renders and that sustains what can never be sanctified nor paraphrased. Mossin turns momentary sensationalism into durational phenomenalism, as the sorrow of historical barbarism spreads like a blood stain through his exacting presentation. His is page space given agency and words that point and do not point to their references, as a languaged present shoulders a violence that is never just physical: "Afterward there would be the light / of the razor sharp across his flesh. // The light would become a / room in his mind a black shelter a hard site. . . ." Throughout is a probing intelligence: "Who is/ innocent of another? No one / is innocent of another." Amidst the tortures presented is Mossin's own father's testimony of two years in the Soviet gulags during World War II, as aired on a BBC radio broadcast.” —Jeanne Heuving, Transmutation of Love and Avant-Garde PoeticsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
