A woodpecker perches in profile, aslant, on the side of a hefty moss-scaled branch. Golden light washes everything, filtered through the surrounding canopy of yellow and orange autumn leaves. Fall is here, and today's palette is the proof. (No filter.)

'There is a willow grows aslant a brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;
There with fantastic garlands did she come
Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples'
~William Shakespeare

THE FUNERAL SCENE

“She didn’t jump, she was pushed”
A screenshot from a Wikipedia article In Act 4 Scene 7, Queen Gertrude reports that Ophelia had climbed into a willow tree (There is a willow grows aslant the brook), and that the branch had broken and dropped Ophelia into the brook, where she drowned. Gertrude says that Ophelia appeared "incapable of her own distress". Gertrude's announcement of Ophelia's death has been praised as one of the most poetic death announcements in literature. 112] Later, a sexton at the graveyard insists Ophelia must have killed herself. (13] Laertes is outraged by what the cleric says, and replies that Ophelia will be an angel in heaven when the cleric "lie[s] howling" in hell.

And today I walked 13 miles
Three stone monuments on a circular plinth. There’s sea and sky behind them A watery inlet with grassy stones in the foreground, and a sandy horizon and hill in the background Decrepit boats lay aslant in the water with colorful row homes in the background

everybody is talking about Wood today and I love this because I want to hear everybody's thoughts on Wood too!!! here's mine: ophelia fell from a willow after a branch broke, so it would be a total swiftian return to narrative in the willow (wood) that once was a good thing, that could take anything
cover of a life of a showgirl by taylor swift, which shows her dressed in a bejweled body piece and submerged in a tub, her face barely above the water. under is an excerpt about hamlet from wikipedia: "In Act [4 Scene 7], Queen Gertrude reports that Ophelia had climbed into a [willow tree] (There is a willow grows aslant the brook), and that the [branch had broken] and dropped Ophelia into the brook, where she drowned." with the bracketed text highlighted in green by me.

It’s quite alright, I thought it was a slightly aslant response but I am not one to judge a slant.

It's a war novel, but not: it's secret histories, paranoia that reveals, psychic military units, things at the edges rather than a Big History with Heroes or a technical treatise. It's aslant to all of that, and I begin to understand why some contemporary readers disliked it. (Spoilers in link)

You understand it? How they returned from Culloden
over the soggy moors aslant, each cap
at the low ebb no new full tide could pardon…

—Iain Crichton Smith, “Culloden and After”
in NEW COLLECTED POEMS, @carcanet.bsky.social 2011

Culloden and After Iain Crichton Smith You understand it? How they returned from Culloden over the soggy moors aslant, each cap at the low ebb no new full tide could pardon: how they stood silent at the end of the rope unwound from battle: and to the envelope of a bedded room came home, polite and sudden. And how, much later, bards from Tiree and Mull would write of exile in the hard town where mills belched English, anger of new school: how they remembered where the sad and brown landscapes were dear and distant as the crown that fuddled Charles might study in his ale. There was a sleep. Long fences leaned across the vacant croft. The silly cows were heard mooing their sorrow and their Gaelic loss. The pleasing thrush would branch upon a sword. A mind withdrew against its dreamed hoard as whelks withdraw or crabs their delicate claws. And nothing to be heard but songs indeed while wandering Charles would on his olives feed and from his Minch of sherries mumble laws.

It is this deep blankness is the real thing strange.
The more things happen to you the more you can't
Tell or remember even what they were.
The contradictions cover such a range.
The talk would talk and go so far aslant.
You don't want madhouse and the whole thing there.

I've always found Van Essen's style diagrams very hard to parse. I gave it a stab. Please tell me what you think. PS: I removed one of the three branches of the frontal aslant track, which had the exact same terminations. PPS: I messed minimally with layout, but moved things for clarity.

Also before I forget — I reviewed Shangyang Fang’s Burying the Mountain, published with Copper Canyon Press, and it was nourishing to spend so much time with poetry again.
