A Young Poet Reads George Oppen's Leviathan Twice
Thursday morning March 30, 2023
"Fear is fear./ But we abandon one another."
—George Oppen, "Leviathan"
He read the poem,
and his young friend
said, "That's the way
to read it; I read it
wrong the first time
around. I didn't realize
it was a poem of sentences,
statements, strong sentiment,
one sentence leading
to the next. I want to
read it again, like you
did", and I assented.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
