naming my press; Winterling

I came across the word ‘Winterling’ in Literature Nation by Maria Damon and Meikal And.


How to recognise: a/the/such as, "winterling".


Suffixing winter with-ling, makes the "winter": pejorative, diminutive, small or refers to a person described in the/as "winter".


I am moving beyond botanical drawings, seasons, or a creature.



Winterling: is not like when something breaks, but more, it is, as distance (smallness, diminuation) - but always locatable. "Affect", and when, there is sound. It is something material, like object. Registering. It also comes before there is sound, much like splintering something, broken in fragments and simply left - sounds - like words. With sound and as though, with or not, -ling, a long trembling and feeling like "facing down" or "looking away". But looking toward the splintering, but occurring not before it.
