“The biggest problem with melancholy is that it is more detailed than the world.”
Lisa Robertson

“Men deft men mental men of loving men all men
Vile men virtuous men same men from which men
Sweet and men of mercy men such making men said
Has each man that sees it
Cry as men to the men sensate
Conceptual recognition the men
And their poverty speaking to the men
Is about timeliness men is about
Previous palpability from which
The problematic politics adorable
And humble especially
Young men of sheepish privilege becoming
Sweet new style”
Lisa Robertson

“Where did the men get the gold
So extraordinarily
Leaving little of me left
And from what men
(The men that burn in my heart)
I should escape. I am ashamed.
If the men turn towards me
Where are the rights of my solitude?”
Lisa Robertson, The Men: A Lyric Book
