"Property" by Carla Harryman








































Note: This prose poem is the first piece from a larger work by Harryman entitled Property.

Source of the text - In the American Tree, edited by Ron Silliman.  Orono, ME: The National Poetry Foundation, 1986, p. 159.

TJB: Fierce ars poetica. Is the avuncular Tolstoyan speaker a fiction? His voice, paratactic-metaphorical then big lyric-aria, is unforgettable.
