Vintage Anomaly 121: Marjorie Tesser’s “Mantra,” Issue 16
Coming to you from our sixteenth issue this week is a poem from one of Anomaly’s unique folios, entitled “Trance Poetics,” which delves into a world of art that will have you “poised between nebulous states of consciousness and hallucination,” — to quote the introduction to this thought-provoking collection. Marjorie Tesser’s “Mantra” is the perfect poem to make your Thursday afternoon a little more interesting.
“say yes to the breath
say yes to the long inconvenient subway ride
say yes to the woman complaining”
