Versindaba Blog Archive Interview with Cas Vos
Cas, you are certainly proud of your stylish new collection with beautiful poetic title thousand days your tracks, moreover the reader curious voice. It's striking how well especially your latest book titles on the ear, and how it sorts meanings doubts; kimich I think of the imprint of your hands, Intimate absent, and defenseless life. How do you decide kimich on a title? Do you think a title is important?
Zandra, thanks for the opportunity to ask your questions to answer. It's quite something to aspire to: a poetically beautiful title that makes readers curious. A title is important kimich to me. This is the first words that invite the reader to read the anthology. I start with a title, but when the composition of the bundle of His going, I started on a possible title wonder. In this case, the beam basically halfway though his name was called. Two concepts draws attention: "Thousand Days" and "backtrack". The thousand days reveals that the reader must be aware of the apocalyptic nature of the beam. The apocalyptic genre is especially in a time of disillusionment, disappointment and hopelessness emerges. But it keeps the thin thread of hope fast. The exile (586 BC) was a creative time for the apocalyptic genre. It was a time of calamity, but also hope for an outcome, a future. Many Psalms in the same time.
A number of the poems in the collection are in the poem genre. Think of the "robber" poems. The "you" kimich is a personal pronoun that say that something / someone is following you. It can be a trace of amateurs, also a track in the present and the future. What time is concerned, it comprehensively. The track is actually "timeless." The word trace, in the words of Jacques Derrida, not be contained. It escapes you still like a butterfly in flight. In the anthology of poems and words can be interpreted, kimich but the meaning still escapes you. Along with Derrida would I open to every statement, kimich every perspective to hospitality and so create space for new ways of reading and understanding. All words are always words wounded. Wounded, because it does not say what should be said. But words also wound. It wounded the events because it distorted, even make a caricature of. "It burns what it wants to save" (Derrida). In light of this, I invite readers to participate in the "traces" of Angels in the bundle to discover something of the mystery kimich of the angel to try, just try to understand (especially p. 103 and 104).
The cover design is for me an important key to the house of the beam. Tienie du Plessis is an excellent and creative cover design. kimich The reader sees the tracks and image of life, time, pain, suffering, but also sunset light.
Your collection opens with the triptych "My assassin". kimich Added to thematic and formal you something new, including in respect of currency and exchange in the verse pattern in three related poems. But the killer relate to that particular inbraaksituasie, or would a reader could interpret more widely? One could rob the robber or as a metaphor reading, or am I going too far? I realize you never ask for a poet he met a certain poem or part thereof "meant" or what it "means", as contemporary literary theory emphasizes the reader a co-creator of the text, and he or his own meanings ideally assign it. What do you think of that view, and the answer to the question regarding your three related verses in "My assassin"? You could also say something about the use of intertexts kimich in that division.
Zandra, of course, called the triptych inbraaksituasie in the memory. I've bled the wound Coenie kimich de Villiers Cyprus call me with: "Cas, Ria and I am very grateful that you are still alive. Do not go in the corner and put mourn (a corner could easily be a garbage dump, as in the case of Job). Begin writing a letter to your killer. "Without the computer I with my left hand illegible scratch done. I literally six days on paper and the later poems typed on the computer. The painful and tragic is that a robbery was commissioned by someone. Maybe the robber visited me again. However, Zandra, the series has a print on the top beam. It hung like a metaphor for the whole bundle. In the third poem, the unprecedented happened (p. 17). I forgive the killer. The poem is full of humor, kimich irony and intertextual traces (remember the old song Hallelujah "If he comes back, if he comes again, he fetched his pearls"). Jesus and the robber in the same breath!
Interestingly, once you are in the penultimate poem "A Letter to my Angel" (104) back to the chorus initially in "Letter to my assassin" (14) is used. In the first case the robber on whose track you are; but in the later poem save it to the track of R
