Through a process of ‘glitchy metonymy’, the people examined here so intently (a mother, an aunt, a lover called Cope) become equivalent to other objects in the world, like a road or a rock or a shrubbery; the poem also allows for the possibility that those objects may get up and speak. (‘We lilies want to swap our aphorisms for legs.’) Even as Eccles reaches out to a ‘vegetablish chorus’ of interlocutors - Prynne, Proust, Blanchot, Baldwin, Weber, Kierkegaard - for observations on love, grief, language and labour, the poem immediately metabolises them as part of a vividly-evoked ongoing life. I VISIT MY AUNT is an ambient symposium which happens in the open air, among plants and flowers, while pretending to take a phone call, during a pause of unspecified length, while asleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003ePhoebe Eccles is from London, where she currently lives.
