BLACK LILY
A.D. Winans comes from a grand tradition of true San Francisco poets. This chap finds him in top form. Through the character of Black Lily he playfully explores the world of S&M as only a true San Francisco poet can. The picture he paints is at once funny, erotic and sad. And it rhymes! Classic stuff.
-William Taylor Jr.
Black Lily is still A.D. Winans, but if I didn’t see his name on the cover I would have thought the work was by the ghosts of Kerouac, Ginsberg and Baudelaire. It’s a highest-possible-tension classic, full of wild sexual over- (and under-) tones, written with whip-lashes and hand-slaps, you start it and you can’t stop until you get to the last word and then wish there was more, more, more. Compelling, totally original, a real wake-up masterpiece!

lexico
about lexico
Essentially, lexico is all about poetry in translation. We are not talking about ”straight” translations, i.e. when we take words in the original language and transposing them into the English. In most cases these sorts of translations are available elsewhere or, if not, I would recommend using “google translate”.
Instead, the aim is to produce what Walter Benjamin calls “aura of the original text”. New creative material will be introduced, often to make the writings more contemporary, more challenging or even more disruptive. I will as the translator try very hard to be as subjective as possible, introducing my own ideas and literary affectations at every available opportunity. The ultimate aim is, to quote Benjamin again, “to go beyond the life (leben) of the original and to give it a higher life (uberleben) which transcends the limitations of time, culture and place”.
There will a new poem posted ever week, along with a brief description of the poet concerned and the background to the piece in question.
