What can I give you?

PROUD TO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO ALIVE WORDS THAT CREATE A WORLD WITHOUT MAPS:

From Anthology Volume I: Writings from the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective

What can I give you? I am the blue

as imagined by a blind

and the roots of knowledge

as watered by a scholar.

I am the yellow

wind and the mauve

respond of light

perched

in the ubiquitous trees

tethered in the clouds

that barely scratch

the sky.

I am the green

storm and colorless waves

that wished upon a mountain

to break water in tryst

with the sun.

Not by blindness

we can reorder colors

but by the painting of a soul

in a moment tender

as the liquid moon

is quivering above the forest.

Anthology Volume I: Writings from the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective is a thoughtfully curated compendium of the best writing published online by the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective from its launch in August of 2016 through April 2018. It includes 138 pieces of cutting-edge poetry, prose and short fiction written by 29 diverse writers from England, Romania, Japan, India, Finland, the United States and Canada. Thirty-one of the 138 pieces were written exclusively for the Sudden Denouement.

"If your expectation is a slim volume of precise poems according to a clever little theme, you’ll be deeply disappointed by SD’s offering. Poetry at SD isn’t nice and tidy, it isn’t precise or easily categorized, nor does it intend to leave you peaceful.

As Iulia Halatz says in her poem What Can I Give You? “Not by blindness / we can reorder colors / but by the painting of a soul.”
There is absolutely nothing here that is calm or apologetic, nor will any writer be careful with your sensibilities and spare you the brunt of their truth." - Candice Louisa Daquin
