Thursday, 12/9
- 7:00 PM in the Arts Cafe: Kenny Goldsmith and Jena Osman in conversation, moderated by Al Filreis and interviewed by the students of English 88, "Modern & Contemporary American Poetry."
Kenneth Goldsmith took a BFA in sculpture, is a visual artist of great range, publishes as an innovative poet and has created and continually edits what is by far the most comprehensive web site of visual, concrete and sound poetry (UbuWeb). Among Goldsmith's books and compact discs include Tizzy Boost, a collaboration with Bruce Andrews (1993); 73 Poems, published by Permanent Press (Brooklyn, NY, 1994) with essays by Robert Mahoney, John Schaefer, and Geoffrey Young; No. 111 2.7.96-19.20.96 (The Figures, 1997); and Fidget (Coach House Books, 2000). Fidget is Goldsmith's transcription of every movement made by his body during thirteen hours on Bloomsday (June 16), 1997. Originally commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art as a collaboration with vocalist Theo Bleckmann, Fidget attempts to reduce the body to a catalogue of mechnical movements by a strict act of observation. The online edition of Fidget at www.chbooks.com includes the full text, a self-running Java applet version written by programmer Clem Paulsen, and a selection of RealAudio recordings from Theo Bleckmann's vocal/visual performance at the Whitney on Bloomsday, 1998.
Jena Osman is a poet and scholar who teaches poetry workshops to graduate students in the Creative Writing Program, poetry and playwriting workshops to undergraduates, and literature classes in contemporary poetry. She is also the faculty advisor for the undergraduate literary magazine, Hyphen. Osman’s books of poetry include Essay in Asterisks (Roof, 2004), The Character (Beacon, 1999 and winner of the 1998 Barnard New Women Poets Prize) and Amblyopia (Avenue B, 1993). Chapbooks include Jury (Meow Press,1996), Balance (Leave Books, 1992), Underwater Dive: Version One (Paradigm Press, 1990) and Twelve Parts of Her (Burning Deck Press, 1989). Her work has appeared in The Best American Poetry of 2002 (selected by Robert Creeley), and many other anthologies and literary magazines such as Conjunctions, XCP: Cross Cultural Poetics, and Verse. Her poems have been translated into French, Swedish, and Serbo-Croatian. With Juliana Spahr, she is the editor of the award-winning and internationally recognized literary magazine Chain. She has received grants for her poetry from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Fund for Poetry. She has been a writing fellow at the MacDowell Colony, the Blue Mountain Center, the Djerassi Foundation, and Chateau de la Napoule. Osman received an M.A. in poetry and playwriting from Brown University in 1987 and a Ph.D. in English from the Poetics Program at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1998.

He is also a freelance writer--not to mention a husband and a dad of two boys.
John Prendergast has published a novel, JUMP, and has had stories in magazines including Glimmer Train, The Bridge, The Ledge, and The Painted Bride Quarterly. As a journalist, he has written and/or edited articles on hunting dogs for the American Kennel Club's newspaper; on business and management issues for Pennsylvania Outlook and the Wharton Magazine; and on the environment, transportation, bridges and buildings, and other engineering-related subjects for Civil Engineering Magazine. He is currently editor of The Pennsylvania Gazette, the alumni magazine of the Üniversity of Pennsylvania.
Valerie Ross is Director of the Critical Writing Program and teaches in the Department of English, specializing in biography. Prior to becoming a professor, Ross was a senior management consultant and business writer, an editor at Esquire and Wall Street Publications, an Editor-in-Chief of the Cream City Review literary quarterly, and a co-founder of JazzSchool. Her singular publication is her beautiful eight-year-old son, Domenic.
Ingrid Schaffner is Senior Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where she is currently working on "Accumulated Vision, Barry Le Va," a survey of the Post-minimalist artist's work of the past 40 years (January 2005). Past exhibitions at ICA include "The Big Nothing," "Sarah McEneaney," "Polly Apfelbaum," "The Photogenic" and "Richard Tuttle, In Parts, 1998-2001." Working independently, she is also the curator of "Gloria: Another Look at Feminist Art of the 1970s," "Deep Storage," "Julien Levy: Portrait of an Art Gallery," and "The Return of the Cadavre Exquis." Her most recent book is Salvador Dalí's Dream of Venus: The Surrealist Funhouse at the 1939 World's Fair (Princeton Architectural Press, Fall 2002).
John Shea has been an editor and writer at the University since 1985. He currently edits Penn Medicine, the medical school's alumni magazine. His stories have appeared in Partisan Review, The Twilight Zone Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and Columbia, the magazine of Columbia University. In 2002, his poem "The Anxious Poem" won the poetry competition of Philadelphia City Paper. "Taking Leave," his one-act play, was produced on campus by a Penn student group.
Like Moving Insects pollinate their musical experience within an encompassing mixture of unique disciplines. Marrying soul, folk, digital blips, analog hiss, math rock, lullabies, torch songs and just about anything else tuneful or otherwise, L.M.I. attempts to offer an alternative to the multitudes of over-amplified bar bands, trying to re-sensitize its listeners with textures and timbres of horns & strings, bow & slide, wood & wire.
At present, Like Moving Insects are based in Philadelphia, PA and are continually traveling to introduce their songs into all welcoming venues. They offer an early demo CD, downloadable, free of charge from their website, www.likemovinginsects.com. In the near future LMI plans on releasing a home recorded collection of popular songs concerning bad weather, as well as beginning the recording to follow up their debut “Musical Album.” The band is made up of Joshua Marcus (guitars, vocals, Todd Starlin (trumpet, keyboards, vocals), Tom Bendel (percussion, vocals), Jon Francis (bowed banjo, strings, vocals) & Noam Levy (lap steel, bass).
