While its subjects and themes seem arbitrary, the associative aspect is foregrounded, and it\u2019s best not to try to figure things out. This is also true of the volume\u2019s intertextual roots, as the poems feature various props lifted from the work of Adam Zagajewski and Julian Kornhauser (the poet\u2019s father). This work is meant to feel sudden and fleeting, chaotic, even, but also thrilling, especially since reading a Jakub Kornhauser poem will lead you to begin in one place and end up someplace else.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jakub Kornhauser\u2019s\u00a0<i>Hemorrhages &amp; Squirrels,<\/i>\u00a0translated by Piotr Florczyk, reminds me of another poet, yet I\u2019m not sure that poet exists, which is to say, Kornhauser is an original. Here are prose poems that try and define with intentionally declarative telling titles such as \u201cPoem About Remembrance\u201d or \u201cPoem About Fatherland\u201d or \u201cPoem Not About Fatherland,\u201d as if to suggest over and over that setting out to define (or via negativa) can only expand the imagination.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Victoria Chang, author of\u00a0<i>With My Back to the World<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>OBIT<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Brief as these prose poems appear, beneath their blandly repetitive titles, they cover an uncanny territory that belies diminutive form. Jakub Kornhauser achieves this breadth by leaping and dodging, without ever seeming to know where he\u2019s headed or might land next. The effect feels satirical at times, digressive at others, and often feels disquieting. Kornhauser\u2019s intuitive shifts in tone are as exhilarating as they are unsettling. This translation of <i>Hemorrhages &amp; Squirrels<\/i> is a welcome gift to readers, who have frankly too little access to contemporary poetry beyond the borders of English.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014David Axelrod, author of <i>Skiing with Dostoyevsky: New &amp;
