Claudia Rankine reads from 'Citizen'

Poet Claudia Rankine reads from Citizen, her recent meditation on race in America.

“Claudia Rankine’s Citizen comes at you like doom,” wrote Hilton Als. “It’s the best note in the wrong song that is America. Its various realities—‘mistaken’ identity, social racism, the whole fabric of urban and suburban life—are almost too much to bear, but you bear them, because it’s the truth.”

Ana Luísa Amaral - Testament

I’m about to fly off somewhere
and my fear of heights plus myself
finds me resorting to tranquillisers
and having confused dreams

 

If I should die
I want my daughter always to remember me
for someone to sing to her even if they can’t hold a tune
to offer her pure dreams
rather than a fixed timetable
or a well-made bed

 

To give her love and the ability
to look inside things
to dream of blue suns and brilliant skies
instead of teaching her how to add up
and how to peel potatoes

Ana Luísa Amaral - Testamento

Vou partir de avião
E o medo das alturas misturado comigo
Faz-me tomar calmantes
E ter sonhos confusos

Se eu morrer
Quero que a minha filha não se esqueça de mim
Que alguém lhe cante mesmo com voz desafinada
E que lhe ofereçam fantasia
Mais que um horário certo
Ou uma cama bem feita

Dêem-lhe amor e ver
Dentro das coisas
Sonhar com sóis azuis e céus brilhantes
Em vez de lhe ensinarem contas de somar
E a descascar batatas

Preparem minha filha para a vida
Se eu morrer de avião
E ficar despegada...
