"An Error, A Ghost", the thirteen-page poem with twenty-three parts that concludes Sarah Howe's "Foretokens" (2025), begins with an epigraph from "The Garden of Forking Paths" (1941), by Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), and later, in section seven, summarizes that story before concluding: "Elsewhere Borges says / every writer creates his own forebears, changing past and future alike." First, I remembered that "elsewhere": Borges's essay "Kafka and His Precursors" (1952). Then, I thought that "Elsewhere Borges Says" would be a great title for a poem or an essay. Finally, I remembered that today is the fortieth anniversary of his death in Geneva, and that I still have never visited his grave there. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 14 June 2026)
