Borsuk, Amaranth 2013
You’re nothing but a bad pomme,
grainy fruit (not pome), a globose
berry from which we’ve garnered
garnets, grange, gram, and grenadine.
– Amaranth Borsuk, “Pomegranate: Rimon’s Rhyme”

FIRST BOOK INTERVIEW: AMARANTH BORSUK
Handiwork , By Amaranth Borsuk, Slope Editions 2012 1. Tell us about the title, Handiwork. Where did it come, what does it mean to you, or how did you decide on it?
Your task is to gamble on limited
light and space and face the
meadow, alkali mallow, let light
lick your basal rosette and bloom
bottle thistle through your bearded
creeper.
– Amaranth Borsuk, “Wood Nexuses I”
