Gabriel Levin is the author of four books of poems, most recently To These Dark Stepsand has published several collections in translation. He lives in Jerusalem. The Fertile Crescent sweeps across the eastern shoreline of the Mediterranean and down to Egypt, then stretches inland into the desert wastes of modern-day Iraq. That's a large enough area to host a conglomeration of myths and oral traditions, each with its own aesthetics. Here I would like to describe three literary models, three ancient paradigmatic forms—the katabasisthe qasidaand the arabesque—that appear to have emerged from specific topologies or ground conditions of a region that has served as a conduit between the East and the West for thousands of years. But why a poetics in the first place? Do we really need yet another literary model? Might it not be best to simply "go on your nerve," as Frank O'Hara wrote in "Personism: A Manifesto"? But I am getting ahead of myself. Why a poetics then? Or rather, why seek a poetics? It is the pursuit here that counts, and in effect the three topographical models I will be introducing share a common rule: they are all on the move. It follows that the region's vast, shifting sands and the sort of nomadic existence it fostered would leave an imprint on its poetry. To inscribe is to possess and be possessed by the land. Perhaps this is what D. Lawrence meant in speaking of Walt Whitman: "The soul living her life along the incarnate mystery of the open road. We inscribe and are inscribed by traces of all three landforms in the sprawl of our own urban scapes, in our thoroughfares, tentacular suburbs, and straggle of strip malls—locus of Rotting In The Sun Blowjob modern imagination. Ever since the biblical injunction to Abraham, "Get thee out of thy country," caravans have crossed and recrossed the Fertile Crescent. Step out into the desert and you can still find traces of temporary habitation, way stations, watering holes, the rutted remains of the ancient spice trade route and the Roman King's Highway. The marvel is that so many people have tramped through these barren grounds. There were, to name a few, Canaanites and Hittites, Jebusites, Hebrews and Mesopotamians, Egyptians and Arabians, Phoenicians, Philistines, Persians, Greeks and Romans, Nabateans, Byzantines, Muslims, Franks and Ottomans, Mameluks, Circassians, and closer to our own times, Palestinians, Druze, Jews, Armenians, Germans, Italians, French, and British. These were nomads and farmers, seafarers and caravanners, slaves and freemen, merchants and mercenaries, colonists and zealots. Some drove their neighbors out, while others took on their dress and customs. All ensured that the flow of goods between Asia and Europe continued to run through their territory. Household gods were swapped on the sly like choice marbles, divine names reshuffled and duplicated in the heavens— at least until the Israelites trekked out of Sinai with the brainteaser I AM THAT I AM Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyehor, in another rendition, I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE. Predating the Sinaic theophany by a millennia, however, are the Sumerian tales of the goddess Inanna, inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets. And it is specifically in "The Descent of Inanna" that we witness the very first description of a katabasisor downward-spiraling voyage into the Great Below. Inanna's journey begins by the awakening of her auditory faculty, for the word ear in Sumerian also stands for wisdom: "From the Great Above she opened her ear to the Great Below. There is an endearing scene after Inanna's husband, Dumuzi—otherwise known to us as the seasonal vegetation god Tammuz—has been sacrificed in her stead, and it is now his sister's turn to seek out her brother and raise him from the dead. Here is how Dumuzi's whereabouts are discovered: When Inanna saw the grief of Geshtinanna, She spoke to her gently: "Your brother's house is no more. Dumuzi has been carried away by the galla. I would take you to him, But I do not know the place. The holy fly circled the air above Inanna's head and spoke: Rotting In The Sun Blowjob I tell you where Dumuzi is, What will you give me? I will let you dwell among the talk of the wise ones. I will let you dwell among the songs of the minstrels. There you will find Geshtinanna's brother, There you will find the shepherd Dumuzi. Henceforth it too will play a part Rotting In The Sun Blowjob the life of ancient society, privy, like the proverbial "fly on the wall," to the talk and song of taverns. This is a wonderfully telling detail, at once fantastical and partaking of a certain inner psychological truth. It recalls a similar juxtaposition in an early Sumerian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh.
