Repetition<\/em><\/h1>\n

Rebecca Reilly<\/h2>\n

Repetition<\/em> is a poetic memoir of a daughter\u2019s grief after her father\u2019s death, as told to a loved one. These meditative prose poems journey through Paris, New York, and Berlin on bike rides \u201cto watch the tower sparkle in the distance\u201d and on walks \u201cpast the zoo in the dark, the animals calling.\u201d Paul Celan and Gertrude Stein accompany the daughter through her grief until the speaker can finally say, \u201cit\u2019s enough\u2014you can go now.\u201d<\/p>\n

An excerpt from “Repetition [Le Monde Irr<\/em>\u00e9el<\/em>]” from Repetition<\/em>:<\/p>\n

If I kept moving I could stay above it. If I kept running\nit could not pull me down into it. And so began the night\nrides through Paris. I bought an old Dutch bike that I\nloved more than anything I have ever owned [I love it\nstill], and began to ride through the streets at night\nto make myself tired so I could sleep. I would ride for\nmiles\u2014first to the Eiffel Tower and back along the quais<\/em>\nof the Seine. I would time the ride so as to arrive at the\nPont Neuf on the hour to watch the tower sparkle in\nthe distance [every hour on the hour], then continue\nalong the dark Seine to the tower itself, to stand below\nit as it rained light like sparks [\u00e9tincelles<\/em>]. I felt so lucky to be there with the light raining down on me. A tour\nbus driver smoking by his bus said, Pas mal, huh<\/em> and we\nsmiled at each other.\n\n[\/column]<\/pre>\n
