IL-PUNTEĠĠJATURA — KITBA TA' TARĊISJU ZARB. DIN HI KWOTAZZJONI TA' DAVID CRYSTAL DWAR IL-PUNTEĠĠJATURA:Why do we have punctuation marks at all? They do three jobs. One job is to keep pieces of language separate from each other: for instance, spaces keep words apart, and full stops help to keep sentences apart. Another job is to show the beginning and end of something: for instance, one inverted comma marks the beginning of what someone is saying, and the other inverted comma marks the end. The third job is to tell you what sort of word or sentence you're reading: for instance, a question mark tells you that you're reading a question; an apostrophe can tell you that a letter has been left out, as part of informal writing (as in I'm). FRAĠLI/FRAGILE: poetry and metapoetry by Tarcisio Zarb and Andrew Sciberras — a book in the postmodernist vein (Mario Azzopardi) packed with insightful comments for students and scholars of literature and the Maltese literary outpour.

Tal-ispjaġeġ tal-kampanja tiegħek O Malta tagħna. U fruxxju fi fruxxju fi fruxxju. Qiegħed iħoss ir-riħ għaddej ivenven. Ġo ruħ. Ir-riħ. Ir-ruħ. Ir-ruħ. Minn tiegħu. Qalb dal-iwriewaq iwerrqa. Fuqana f'dal-ħarrub antik. Ta' din il-wilġa. O lehma tagħna.  U hemmhekk. Sakemm tagħtih il-għajn. Il-poeta ffrastrunat. Sieket fil-lehma tiegħu. Jimmedita l-aħħar żiffa. L-ewwel rimja.

U l-ferħ wid-diq jistabtu b'qilla mliġġma ġewwa ruħu. Mal-mewġ rewwieħ. Antik u sbalordit. Ta' ruħha. Wir-riħ idur idur fil-vojt etern. Ta' bur. Hawn fuq f'dil-art ta' żmien ix-xewk.

Tarċisju Zarb TREMOR OF HER MEMORY'S EDGE LET'S HARNESS THE BEAUTY OF POETRY  Tarċisju Zarb  Poetry is meant to submerge readers and poets themselves in the metaphorical essences of the poetry and in this way succeed in realising their own inner musings and the vast potential they have. It's an emotionally laden experience full of words, silences, hiatuses and imagery.
