How much poetry about hands is there? Particularly, but not necessarily, in relation to sculpture?

Comments

[lecturehall]

You won't say why?

A South Korean poet named Jin Eun-Young wrote a poem called Long Finger Poem. There's no mention of sculpture, though.

I received a letter from Retrospec that I apparently wrote that mentioned something along those lines.

Is that a poem about someone with long fingers?

[lecturehall]

Sort of. I haven't read it in awhile but I think it was more about how they were the furthest reaching body part? There were a lot of comparisons to branches.

They didn't give you any other clues than "hand", "poem" and "sculpture"? That's obnoxious.

[wordcarvings]

That sounds sort of interesting.

No, not really. I guess so.

[lecturehall]

It was a good poem. Or at least... I remember liking it? Maybe it will help you.

[wordcarvings]

I will have to see if I can find it, then. Is it included in any poetry collections? Do you know?

[lecturehall]

I found it in an anthology in the University library. I think it was called something innocuous like "Modern Poetry" or something.

[wordcarvings]

Oh, I will have to drop by at some point, to see if I can find it.

[lecturehall]

Then I might see you there! If you see a person drowning in property law books, that'll be me.

Or you could ask a librarian, I guess. They're just hard to find sometimes.

[wordcarvings]

Should I say hello if I spot you, in that case?

Are they very busy?

[lecturehall]

Usually, yeah. I play the role of unofficial librarian sometimes.

I wouldn't mind it if you said hello, no.

[wordcarvings]

Oh, that's very helpful of you to do.

Then I suppose that I will, unless you look terribly busy.
