Carly Sachs
In this scorching sequence, language feels almost atomized on the page. Rendered in subtle, haunting rhythms, it implicitly asks what to make of “untranslatable” experience. The story of an un-named woman unfolds: she hears in the sound of a tea kettle “a train . . . she will have to board.” Rich with language that is spare, elliptical, and typographically interesting, this sequence builds with silences and pauses as well, creating an effect at once trance-like and utterly particularized. “Consider that this has been” wrote Primo Levi, and Carly Sachs does just that—this sequence works its faithful magic with patience and quiet care.
