Bewildering Stories introduces and welcomes...

Terry Trowbridge

Terry’s roots are in Ontario, and he has occupations as a farmer, researcher, poet and critic. His publications in poetry and literary criticism have earned a Pushcart nomination and are voluminous in periodicals on line and in print.

“Anatomy of the Lemon: Carpel Section” is a poem that invites readers to return to it often for insights into its meaning. The form and style may recall those of the French Symbolists, particularly Rimbaud and Mallarmé. The ending opens the door to reflections upon the function of literature:

The lemon reveals the migratory life
in the taste of the fish. Reading by tongue. Writing with fruit.
Sections of lemon write chapters of fish.
