I know, translated from the French with the author involved in the English version, brings Ito Naga’s French-language work into English through Sixteen Rivers Press. Published in 2013, it is best approached as a book of encounter rather than as a book to solve. Naga’s title is small enough to be comic and absolute enough to be suspicious, which makes knowledge itself feel like the poem’s unstable object. The pleasure of a book like this is the permission it gives to move slowly. A reader does not have to master every reference to feel the work at hand. Sometimes the task is simply to notice how a sentence leans, how an image opens, how a voice from France changes the room around English.
