Eric Pankey

Incidental Objects on a Minor Planet

A note from a flute of elder wood

A fabricated diary

The water a boat displaces

The future as a place of exile

The photograph as a caesura between before and after

The grid and its austere function

The m that distinguishes a comma from a coma

Alluvial marshlands

To borrow your enemy’s arrows

The object rehabilitated through reuse

A dark chamber fitted with a lens

An exemplar liberated from rebirth

The murmur of ink drying 

 

Eric Pankey is the author of many books, most recently Augury (Milkweed Editions 2017).
