Abstract

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Galocher
Keith Leonard (bio)

The pepper-hint in the arugula.The vinegar pinchin the homemade dressing.The sweet potatowith its puck of butterlighting up our lips.Dinner is the only timewhen what’s going onin your mouth is alsogoing on in my mouth.It’s dinner and it’s kissing.Kissing as the French do.But the French don’t call it“French kissing.” Until recently,there was no word for it in Paris.Now they call it “galocher,”which is a play on the phrasefor ice skates. The tongueslike paired figure skatersgliding into a layback spin.The cherry-flip and loop.The synchronous triple axle.I like, very much, this performance [End Page 57] of being your partner.We practice our lifts. We orchestrateour routine so one of uscan pick up the kidswhile the other readsor breathes for an hour.When you set the table,you furnish yourselfwith the chipped plate.Our water glasses reflectthe last bit of day. Most likelyone of us will have to glide alone.The pond will be colder then.The sound of skates carving iceechoing between the naked trees.When there is less to saydoes the tongue begin to atrophy?I can imagine mine so idle. [End Page 58]

以下是内容的简要摘录，以代替摘要：芝麻菜里的胡椒味，自制调味酱里的醋味，甜土豆上的黄油点亮了我们的嘴唇，只有在晚餐时，你嘴里的东西也会在我嘴里发生，这是晚餐，也是接吻。直到最近，在巴黎还没有这个词，现在他们叫它 "galocher"，这是冰鞋的谐音。舌头像成双成对的花样滑冰运动员一样滑进后仰旋转，樱桃翻转和回环，同步三轴。当你摆放餐桌时，你会为自己准备一个有缺口的盘子，我们的水杯反映出一天中最后的一点时光。我们中很可能有人要独自滑行，那时池塘会更冷，溜冰鞋在光秃秃的树木间划过冰面的声音也会响起。当要说的话越来越少时，舌头是否会开始萎缩？[凯斯-伦纳德（Keith Leonard），著有诗集《破烂颂》（Ramshackle Ode）（Ecco/HarperCollins，2016 年）。他的诗作近期发表于《美国诗歌评论》（American Poetry Review）、《信徒》（Believer）、《新英格兰评论》（New England Review）、《诗歌》（Poetry）和《犁铧》（Ploughshares）。他现居俄亥俄州哥伦布市。版权所有 © 2024 南方大学 ...

期刊介绍： Having never missed an issue in 115 years, the Sewanee Review is the oldest continuously published literary quarterly in the country. Begun in 1892 at the University of the South, it has stood as guardian and steward for the enduring voices of American, British, and Irish literature. Published quarterly, the Review is unique in the field of letters for its rich tradition of literary excellence in general nonfiction, poetry, and fiction, and for its dedication to unvarnished no-nonsense literary criticism. Each volume is a mix of short reviews, omnibus reviews, memoirs, essays in reminiscence and criticism, poetry, and fiction.
