Like pills, language is something to be consumed by the body, and in turn it does not only affect our conceptions of things, but it also comes to designate our very corporal movability in the world. Consequently, words are not only something we consume, they are refractory entities that in turn define and consume us. Wordpharmacy can be seen as a poetical gesture endeavouring to let words work their magic from within the body itself.
VERBS
A Verb® is a word which expresses an act, a state, an event, an activity or a change. Verbs® make the world work, and consequently there are more of them: the world verbs. Your poet may have prescribed another form of use. Follow your poet’s directions.
CONJUNCTIONS
Pregnancy:
Conjunctions® should be used during pregnancy only as directed by a poet. Conjunctions® can cause a slight reduction in infant birth weight.
Wordpharmacy is translated from the Danish by Barbara J. Haveland and design by Christian Ramsø.
