    About this ebook

    Like a gormless hen squeezing out its eternal paradox; the world has only ever served servants within worlds. Sardine Can't is VOLUME TWO to Sardine Can - the other 60 stories & poems that couldn't be crammed into the original can. There are further crimes of passion here; watershed dreams & wayposts; the fleeting fortuities & exigencies of time; & the piecemeal glories of the misbegotten & the woebegone who are all . . .

      Try to praise the mutilated world. Remember June’s long days, and wild strawberries, drops of rosé wine. The nettles that methodically overgrow the abandoned homesteads of exiles. —Adam Zagajewski, “Try to Praise the Mutilated World,” tr. by Clare C

      Death

      Mar 1, 2020

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.
