Journal Article
Second Glances at Small Arguments
2020
Overview
A FIREFLY casts its body into the night arguing against darkness and its taking It is a small argument lending itself to silence, a small argument the sun will never come to hear Darkness, unable to hold against such tiny elegant speeches, opens its palm to set free a fire its body could not put down (41) The poem utters light, over and over, not as noun but as imperative. In Thammavongsa's third book, Light, a colossal squid stares into the lightless abyss, its eyes, the size of dinner plates, waiting for the rarest photon. (In his lonely little mental cell, Descartes thinks that his inability to imagine the difference between a chiliagon and the shape of a dragonfly's eye is evidence of the body's existence.) Meanwhile, growing up in the house without books, the poet never doubted it.
