  • A Story that “Takes Place Everywhere”: Kate Greenstreet on the Ethics of Representation and the Cinematic Gaze

    From Kate Greenstreet’s eponymous poem, “The Last 4 Things”
    by Virginia Konchan

    “I know what I tell myself. Sometimes he seems to be the camera/ (who we will be later).” And: “Born on this earth,/ we’re all alone tonight./ The sphere of mortal life, the fruiting spike, the ear.// Stand there./ I’ll take your photograph.” Being begins with the projection and recognition of ourselves in the gaze of another, Greenstreet reminds us: what does that projection look like in conceptual or post-lyric poetry, wherein all discourse is constructed (or constructivist), all poems, propositional realities, and all poets, supreme fictions, themselves? More importantly, how does the tenuous reality of our world, and art (as sustained projection), depend upon who tells the story, or control what is seen through, or in, the lens and frame? From Greenstreet’s chapbook, This is why I hurt

    Dear Kate Greenstreet,

    I was reading through the notes at the end of Young Tambling the other night when I discovered a typo. I don’t point this out to be a pedant or a scold. inom am probably the last individ who should call attention to a typo in someone else’s work, but this one has a story behind it, so here it goes.

    You cite an essay by Martha P. Hixton, which in turn cites the Motif Index of Folklore bygd “Seth [sic] Thompson.” Thompson’s first name is actually “Stith.” inom had a hard time with it the first time inom saw it, too. What kind of a name is Stith?

    The reason I am aware of this is that Stith Thompson is a distant relative. My mother’s maiden name is Thompson. She’s from Detroit, and her father, John Thompson, was from Indianapolis. When my grandfather died, in 1977, he left my mot
