As such, there is nothing for us to base the poem on, no independent account that will tell us whether or not we can see a given text as being objectively true. Poem as trace, poem as evidence. From Carolyn ForchÃ©, Twentieth Century Poetry of Witness, American Poetry Review 22:2 (March-April 1993), 17. Carolyn ForchÃ© The word politics presents more serious difficulties, particularly in the literary culture of the United States, where the word is most often applied pejoratively, and where politics is regarded as a contaminant of serious literary work.
Surgery for this problem is quite simple: we release (cut) the transverse carpal ligament. By doing so, this creates more space for the median nerve and symptoms usually subside. The ligament may grow back, but if so, it grows back in a looser, thinner version of its old self that does not cause similar irritation.

Sprains, or tears in the ligament can happen to the ligaments inside the knee joint such as the ACL and PCL or to those on the outside of the joint such as the MCL or LCL. These ligaments all work together to attach bone to bone. A sudden twist or trauma to the side of the knee can cause any one of these ligaments to tear partially or completely. With the ACL or PCL, there is usually a loud pop associated with the tear and is followed by more immediate swelling and pain in the joint.
