NOTE.\u00a0\u00a0The following is part of Pierre Joris\u2019s ongoing exploration of North African (Maghreb) culture, a work as big & multifaceted as his own sense of the dynamics & far reach of poetic imagination & fancy.\u00a0\u00a0Yet the stakes here, as with much real poetry, go well beyond poesis as such, to exemplify & expose an area of religion & sexuality that has been a given in many parts of the world, \u201cfrom origins to present.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Here the\u00a0azria<\/em>(courtesan) asserts the role of the outsider, still not forgotten, to raise new\/old powers of body & mind in the service of vision & desire. (J.R.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Adapted by Pierre Joris from Y. Georges Kerhuel\u2019s French version<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u00a0am beautiful Azria
\nI am unfaithful Azria
\nI am the tender fruit
\nof a tree with tight clusters<\/p>\n
