Alice Te Punga Somerville, Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Kupu rere kē

[ID: A poem titled: Kupu rere kē. [in italics] My friend was advised to italicise all the foreign words in her poems. This advice came from a well-meaning woman with NZ poetry on her business card and an English accent in her mouth. I have been thinking about this advice. The convention of italicising words from other languages clarifies that some words are imported: it ensures readers can tell the difference between a foreign language and the language of home. I have been thinking about this advice. Marking the foreign words is also a kindness: every potential reader is reassured that although you're expected to understand the rest of the text, it's fine to consult a dictionary or native speaker for help with the italics. I have been thinking about this advice. Because I am a contrary person, at first I was outraged — but after a while I could see she had a point: when the foreign words are camouflaged in plain type you can forget how they came to be there, out of place, in the first place. I have been thinking about this advice and I have decided to follow it. Now all of my readers will be able to remember which words truly belong in -[end italics]- Aotearoa -[italics]- and which do not.

"Hey Pars Zambağı," diye seslendi Alice, rüzgârda zarifçe salınan bir çiçeğe. "Keşke konuşabilseydiniz."

"Biz konuşabiliyoruz," dedi Pars Zambağı; "konuşmaya değer birisi olduğunda."

"Yani bütün çiçekler konuşabiliyor mu?"

"Sizin konuşabildiğiniz kadar iyi," dedi Pars Zambağı. "Hem de çok daha yüksek sesle."

"Eh, önce bizim söze girmemiz uygun düşmezdi," dedi Gül, "senin ne zaman konuşmaya başlayacağını gerçekten merak ediyordum!"

"Daha önce birçok bahçede bulundum ama çiçeklerin hiçbiri konuşamıyordu."

"Elini yere koy ve toprağı hisset," dedi Pars Zambağı. "O zaman anlarsın nedenini."

Alice öyle yaptı. "Çok sert," dedi, "ama bununla ne ilgisi olduğunu anlamadım."

"Birçok bahçede," dedi Pars Zambağı, "yatakları çok yumuşak yapıyorlar, bu yüzden çiçekler sürekli uyuyor."

La Chimera (2023)

[normalpeoplethiings]

“It was something adults said all the time. “You'll change your mind when you're older. You never know what might happen. You'll feel differently one day.” As if we teenagers knew so little about ourselves that we could wake up one day a completely different person. As if the person we are right now doesn't matter at all.”

- Loveless, Alice Oseman (2020)
