Each month, we comb through dozens of soon-to-be-published books, for ideas and good writing for the\u00a0<\/i>Review\u2019s site. Often we\u2019re struck by particular paragraphs or sentences from the galleys that stack up on our desks and spill over onto our shelves. We sometimes share them with each other on Slack, and we thought, for a change, that we might share them with you. Here are some we found this month.

\u2014Sophie Haigney, web editor, and Olivia Kan-Sperling, assistant editor<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From <\/span>Water<\/span><\/i><\/a> by the Persian mystic Rumi (1207\u20131273), translated from the Farsi by Haleh Liza Gafori (New York Review Books):<\/span><\/p>\n

The Garden\u2019s scent is a messenger,
\n<\/span>arriving again and again,
\n<\/span>inviting us in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hidden exchanges, hidden cycles
\n<\/span>stir life underground.
\n<\/span>What stirs the life in you?
\n<\/span>The garden asks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The garden thrives.
\n<\/span>Invites us to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saplings break through darkness\u2014
\n<\/span>ladders set against the sky.
\n<\/span>Mysteries ascend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn\u2019s 1972 Nobel lecture, translated from the Russian by Alexis Klimoff in <\/span>We Have Ceased to See the Purpose<\/span><\/i><\/a> <\/i>(University of Notre Dame Press):<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as the savage picks up in bewilderment \u2026 a strange discharge cast up by the sea? \u2026 something long buried in the sand? \u2026 a baffling object fallen from the sky?\u2014intricately shaped, now glistening dully, now reflecting a brilliant flash of light\u2014just as he turns it this way and that, twirls it, seeks a way to utilize it, seeks to find for it a suitable lowly application, all the while never guessing its higher function \u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n

So we also, holding Art in our hands, self-confidently deem ourselves its masters; we boldly give it direction, renew it, reform it, proclaim it, sell it for money, use it to oblige the powerful, divert it for amusement\u2014all the way down to vaudeville songs and nightclub acts\u2014or else adapt it (with a muzzle or stick, whatever suits best) toward transient political or limited social needs. But art remains undefiled by our endeavors, and the stamp of its origin remains unaffected: each time and in every usage it bestows upon us a portion of its mysterious inner light. <\/span><\/p>\n

But can we encompass the totality of this light? Who would dare to say that he has <\/span>defined<\/span><\/i> Art?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three extracts from the eponymous poem of Aharon Shabtai\u2019s new collection, <\/span>Requiem and Other Poems<\/span><\/i><\/a> (New Directions), translated from the Hebrew by Peter Cole:<\/span><\/p>\n

Come and see:<\/span><\/p>\n

Father is
\n<\/span>made of air,<\/span><\/p>\n

and even the chair<\/span><\/p>\n

and the blows are abstract<\/span><\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Life begins
\n<\/span>with a siren<\/span><\/p>\n

in the middle of the night,<\/span><\/p>\n

with all of the neighbors descending<\/span><\/p>\n

to the shelter
\n<\/span>beneath the ground<\/span><\/p>\n

and afterwards climbing
\n<\/span>back up and dispersing<\/span><\/p>\n

and then as usual
\n<\/span>coming back<\/span><\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Under the heavy blanket,
\n<\/span>as though in a submarine,<\/span><\/p>\n

embracing one
\n<\/span>or a pair of girls<\/span><\/p>\n

at night you\u2019ll navigate
\n<\/span>far and into the depths<\/span><\/p>\n

down down<\/span><\/p>\n

and suddenly in the dark
\n<\/span>on the sheet<\/span><\/p>\n

the white liquid
\n<\/span>pools<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

From \u201cDEATH HAS THE BIGGEST DICK OF ALL\u201d in Ariana Reines\u2019s poetry collection <\/span>The Rose<\/span><\/i><\/a> <\/i>(Graywolf):<\/span><\/p>\n

Probably the reason women are still attracted to the devil<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>& will always be is that\u2019s who fucked us<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Originally<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>To get life onto this planet\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Sayaka Murata\u2019s novel <\/span>Vanishing World<\/span><\/i><\/a> <\/i>(Grove)<\/span>, <\/span><\/i>translated from the Japanese by Ginny Tapley Takemori, about a girl in love with a cartoon character:<\/span><\/p>\n

Until now I\u2019d thought my purest instinct was the sexual attraction I felt for Lapis. I\u2019d taken solace in the fact that my arousal was something consistent with what society deemed common sense. <\/span><\/p>\n

But maybe I was wrong.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
