Nostalgia, my enemy: poems

Introduction / Sinan Antoon and Peter Money

Prologue : On poetry

Undead nature

Still life

A difficult variation

O nostalgia: my enemy

The pagan's prayer

The concerns of a man, 2000 BC

The evening the game was over

Don't say

A neighbor

The barbarians' village

I saw my father

Cloves

Making love

Tonight I imitate Pasolini

The sun that never comes

Free Iraqis

I will wait

A secret entrance to Fortezza

The night of the icy lake

The glance

Nature

The days

No play

Four sections on place

Fulfillment

Observing

Seasons (4)

Conversation

Hamlet's balcony

The balcony of the poor house

Andes butterflies

An abandoned shore

Imru' al-Qays' grandson

Mustafa the Egyptian

Rock-solid time

The homeless man and the squirrel

Chess

Light hallucination

The Irish rose

New Orleans

The wretched of the heavens

December

The last Communist goes to heaven

Bees visit me

Heavy time

Evening by the lake

A desperate poem

A fawn behind the fence

A spring downpour

Listening.
