Performances will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, September 20 and 21, 2010 at CITY ARTS, 15 Bachelor=92s Walk, Dublin 1, Ireland. Describing the script for The Prairie Gaeltacht, Liam Carson, director of the IMRAM Festival, said "poetic, beautiful, moving, simple, evocative. I'm really looking forward to experiencing the performance." And the Irish writer Gabriel Rosenstock described the script as "very movin= g." http://www.cityarts.ie/events/2010/09/20/-the-prairie-gaeltacht-gaeltacht-n= a-bhfarthailte/ THE PRAIRIE GAELTACHT "I remember herds of buffalo on the prairie, beautiful Indian ponies ... the coyotes howling at dusk." So speaks one voice in S=E9amas Cain=92s dramatic evocation of what he calls The Prairie Gaeltacht. Drawing on his own conversations with relatives, S=E9amas Cain=92s narrative probes deep into family, land and language. Through their plain but poetic voices, history is relived. Here Irish settlers learn from Indians "where strawberries grew and which birds were most delicious to hunt." Here is Thomas Burke, kinsman of Edmund, fleeing to the Irish Colonies of Minnesota in 1878. We are brought from the time of the wagon trains to the day electricity arrived in the village of Murdock in 1922. Along the way we hear stories of the Molly Maguires, the communitarian Connemaras and their vision of creating a Gaelic socialist utopia on the prairies of western Minnesota; of fiddlers and harmonica players at dances; of droughts, crop failures, snowstorms, and swarms of locusts. The Prairie Gaeltacht is an extraordinary bi-lingual journey into a haunting past. Actors from T=EDAitreo will re-create in Irish the words and stories of S=E9amas Cain=92s grandparents and their cousins and friends, whilst Cain himself will narrate in English. A unique insight into an almost forgotten history, The Prairie Gaeltacht is a deeply personal odyssey from one of America=92s most radical and inventive of poets. http://www.cityarts.ie/events/2010/09/20/-the-prairie-gaeltacht-gaeltacht-n= a-bhfarthailte/ _______________ S=E9amas Cain http://www.saorsainn.net http://alazanto.org/seamascain http://seamascain-writernetwork.org =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Here some more info about several DAstrugistenDA performances DAstrugistenDA *1. DAstrugistenDA:* The international poetic collective "DAstrugistenDA" was formed spontaneously in the Macedonian city of Struga in August of 2005. In this city every year a world famous poetry festival (the Struga Poetry Evenings) is organised. Peter Waugh (GBR), Philip Meersman (BEL) and Sergey Biryukov (RUS) had a poetic encounter. All three are working in different fields and with experimental forms of poetry - sound, visual, video, etc. Their efforts and styles were rapidly combined and were shown in Struga and other cities of Macedonia during several groundbreaking performances. In the process of working together the name of the group was born, in which markedly the plac= e of their first encounter (Struga) is given a prominent place together with the cut-up name of that direction in art which is very dear to all three of them: Dada=C3=AFsm. Lieven Vercauteren (BEL) applied later by writing an application poem, he was promptly accepted. Their unique way of collaborating, improvising and performing arrangements of each others poems can be seen as a fresh and new form of collaborative poetry. *2. Projects by DAstrugistenDA* *1. "Echo in the tower", installation drafts, Kaliningrad, 2005. * DAstrugistenDA proposed to create an enlightened soundscape around the Kaliningrad tower. In front of the tower and on its walls a sound performance would take place: 3 poets based on the works of I. Kant and H. Arendt. This installation drafts were created for the "Tower Kronprinz: Second Advent" 2006 competition for the Kaliningrad Branch of the National Center for Contemporary Arts *2. Guerrilla Reading, Brussels, 2006* During the opening of the group exhibition of Mario Villaggi in Saint-Josse in 2006, Peter Waugh took the train from Vienna to Brussels to join the DAstrugistenDA members to hold a Guerrilla Reading. Unplanned, the members, dazzled the audience with multilingual improvisation and pure poetry. After their 1 hour reading all DAstrugistenDA members went home. *3. DAstrugistenDA: Bar none: 48h poetry reading behind bars, Brussels, 200= 7 * DAstrugistenDA performed 48h continuously poetry, caged at Beursschouwburg in Brussels wearing orange overalls at the BRXLBRAVO 2007 festival. Because artists all over the world are still being barred from public life, are being prosecuted, jailed, killed=E2=80=A6 because of what they write or say= . No-one should be prosecuted, jailed, killed because of his/her opinion or words. This project is an idea that resulted from discussions between Sergej Birjukov and Philip Meersman. *4. Po=C3=ABpera in one act, Berlin, 2009* During the 1st European Poetry Slam Days in 2009 in Berlin, DAstrugistenDA made a multilingual tribute to the Avant Garde, Zaum, DaDa en Surreal Movements in poetry. This time they made a collaborative arrangement of their poems and created a whole po=C3=ABpera in one act especially for this event. *5. BUTFF, Breda, 2010* During the BUT film festival in Breda, the DastrugistenDA will do 3 different poetry interventions. *a. Angst und Sprache, a search for voices and sounds as reactions to traumatic events.* Different historical events still keep people wandering about what they might do or should do or have to do when similar events do happen in their neighbourhood, family, daily environment. 9/11 was one of these historical events. But also the atrocities that happened in Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfour=E2= =80=A6 But also the floods in Pakistan, the Oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, in the Niger delta=E2=80=A6 No one responds to the screams, giving the wrongdo= er plenty of time to do wrong. Bystanders are distressed but feel too ill-equipped to respond, and there is an insufficiency in assigning responsibility - a "diffusion of responsibility". DastrugistenDA asks the question what we, international poets and sound artists would do or could do to make people understand or even better, to make them notice, recognise the emergency and to let them decide to act on it. *b. Box ring.* Poetry talks will be held twice in a Box ring. Together the DastrugistenDA will be negotiating words, phrases and sounds into a time =E2=80=93 locatio= n based performance. The courtyard, the ring, the audience are all parts in a play, all decorum and no content. Or are the words the decorum and the audience the deus ex machina to rescue the world from its images? Twice the games will be opened twice talks will start. The ultimate questio= n remains: will these talks bring results, a solution, a better understanding= , a sound result or will they be only sounds and fury, a perpetuum mobile of syllables ringing hollow, a poem written on a piece of paper while holding the ring? *c) Breakfast & BUTFF. The Day After* DAstrugistenDA makes a multilingual tribute to the Avant Garde, Zaum, DaDa en Surreal Movements in poetry. In a collaborative arrangement of their poems, DastrugistenDA will wake up people over coffee and croissants to the sounds of language. What happens The Day After? Nobody knows, yet. *6. White Breakfast @ Beursschouwburg * *(not accepted because of too political)* In 2007 the DAstrugistenDA imprisoned themselves at Beursschouwburg in orange overalls to support freedom of speech and the closure of GITMO. In 2010 GITMO is still open and people are still being tortured, imprisoned or executed because of their opinion, words, texts, art. During the breakfast at the end of the White Night 2010, the DAstrugistenDA will perform in white overalls above, in front and amongst the audience taking breakfast in honour of: - the birthdays of Mahatma Ghandi (October 2nd) (Nobel peace prize winner), Carl von Ossietzky (Nobel peace prize winner), Sergei Aleksandrovich Yesenin (poet), Gerardo Diego (poet), Louis Aragon (poet)= ; - the deaths of William Morris (poet) and Gustav Stresemann (Nobel peace prize winner); - the last public sighting of Edgar Allen Poe; - the foundation of The Truth; - the independence in 1932 of Iraq from Great Britain; - the German reunion of 1990; - the ruling of the fact that Allen Ginsberg's Howl and Other Poems were not obscene; - the Adoption of =E2=80=9CSOS=E2=80=9D in 1906 as THE international dis= tress signal and - the morning after the International Day of Non-Violence with sound-, word- and performance poetry. They will perform there own poetry, new instant collaboratively created wor= k and poetry (un)known poets from all around the world and more in particular the writings of the people who=E2=80=99re honoured by the DAstrugistenDA. They hope that with their performance they will help bring peace and understanding without violence, with sounds and words. * * *3.

Since 1984 *Fjorton* (=C2=B01966, Belgium) has been active in the fields of theatre, poetry, prose, psychology, plastic arts, the body, mindfulness and spirituality. His endeavours in these 'arts' were (more or less frantic) fights to keep on digging in the well of his own creativity, sometimes connecting his doing with the doings of other people. As an actor Fjortonplayed parts in about 17 plays, most (but not all) of them for children. As a director-playwright he creates original plays and transcribes known plays from e.g. Pinter. Lieven published in the capacity as poet-writer-publisher 4 collections of poems: Blue Valentines (1989), Decado (1991), Een kwart eeuw kinds (A quarter of a century childlike, 1993) and Haram (1994). Together with Philip Meersman he wrote, staged and played Flight 39.1 in 1996 and the project (compilation) "de min" in 2003. On behalf of the tsunami 12-12 foundation he contributed to "Woordenvloed". Within the Flemish art collective "JA" Fjorton works together with Philip Meersman on "Oh & Zie" and other projects. He has written several stories for children. Nowadays he enjoys more word-oriented settings: poetry, poetry of sounds, music and images. Alone and with others.

This Installation with recorded or live performances will take place at 1:00 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. from September 23 through September 27, 2010 at the Grapevine Space of CITY ARTS, 15 Bachelor=92s Walk, Dublin 1, Ireland.

An audiovisual installation, with recorded or live performances. tr=EDd an gcoill, a 120-page poem by S=E9amas Cain, is itself a poetic field recording. It evokes a walk through Dromore Woods in County Clare. It immerses the reader in a stream of words and word-clusters. The overall effect is hypnotic, as we are led by a piped piper into the heart of the wood. Czech sound-artist Slavek Kwi has created an audiovisual installation from underwater and field recordings captured in Dromore Woods itself, and fused these elements with S=E9amas Cain's chanted recital of tr=EDd an gcoill. This installation with performances will be open to the public in City Arts, with Free Admission. tr=EDd an gcoill creates a unique space in which one can experience nature and language through sounds and visions of uncanny beauty. S=E9amas Cain is an Irish-American experimental poet, a friend and colleague of Jean Genet and Allen Ginsberg. One of the most radical voices in modern literature he writes in Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Old Celtic, Spanish and English.

From the early nineties he has operated under the name "Artificial Memory Trace." For additional information, go to ... http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com Seamus Johnson described Cain's recorded chantings of tr=EDd an gcoill for this Installation as "incantatory, rhythmic, passionate, guttural, mezmerizing. Cain is the baritone ascending to Apollo. Or, is he the baritone ascending Mt. Carmel? He does tend to get carried away in performance, lost in a kind of trance, at times in the passion of the moment whacking the microphones. Indeed, Cain's performance is hypnotic! Plenty of auditory images! And plenty of rich and diverse sounds to be chopped up for computer-randomization!" Slavek Kwi used chance operations to distribute the fragments of Cain's chantings in various speakers of a vertical Speaker Tree, which doesn't brake the continuous chanting, but changes the architecture as texture and dynamics. Also, Kwi used chance operations on the distribution in speakers of the timbre of Cain's chantings. Kwi's Installation includes a color film, with parts of the text of the tr=EDd an gcoill poem superimposed in scrolling effect over images from Dromore Woods, a slide-show with 1,500 slides, an environmental soundtrack on external 5.1 system and also a Voice Tower, all edited using chance operations.

However, the names of Stein and Niedecker (and = many others) were also brought up - I referred to all three in varying contexts.= My reference to Pound was shading to negative, a noting regarding Chinese poet= ry. It would have been foolish for me not to note that historical case. And Pound'= s name was used with some very negative connotations as well. But, yes, the name w= as there. We seem to have a government here as of today (it seems to have become a 'paradigm' rather than a 'government'). Whether we have any leaders is a fa= ir point. And thanks, CA, for the portal.

I perhaps have not seen this book at all since I was fascinated by it in the summer of 1973, having a copy out on a summer library loan. I just now checked the Table of Contents as clickable on amazon.com, and the women poets in the book are: Sappho; Santa Teresa D'Avila; Elizabeth I; Marie-Francoise-Catherine De Beaveau, La Marquise De Boufflers; Felicia Dorothea Hemans; Elizabeth Barrett Browining; H.D.; and Marianne Moore. Re/ Elizabeth I, and that Marquise, I'd point out that Pound and Spann have a definite bias in favor of the writings of powerful persons in this book. Among the men, we find Henry VIII, Lorenzo De' Medici, and Martin Luther [a translation of "Ein Fester Burg Ist Unser Gott"] ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

The characters cavort, mate, replicate, coagulate, instigate, insinuate, explode... Free of responsibility, the alphabet dances. - Rosaire Appel In Starings we enter into a second universe (macro- and microcosmic at the same time), where letters and punctuation marks are every bit as real and hallucinatory, transitory and unerasable creatures as stars, planets, grains of interstellar dust, microorganisms or atomic particles are in the first one. They multiply, interweave with each other and with light and darkness, open frequently like a zip and what we have inside are themselves again in a different shape. Their presence is so intense that they (and each contrapuntal pair of their constellations) would start to speak to us immediately =97 if only letters could do that. Listen. This is meaning in the moment of birth. - M=E1rton Kopp=E1ny Nico Vassilakis' STARINGS occupies us by combining radically different registers of meaning =97 violence and play, destruction and creation, character and scatter. And we are occupied when we enter each image, as in taken over or filled up, concentrate on or in, we have control or have lost control of meaning here. Not that there need be an either/or in these pages. There is only is. So dwell a while. - Jenny Sampirisi Most interesting composition results from the mental equivalent of crossing one's eyes, tuning to a place between. Vassilakis hits a sweet spot with the dynamic works in Starings, their textures, accumulations, and rhythmic repetitions creating instances of chaos and clarity, recognition and refusal. - Lisa Radon from the introduction: Dear Alphabet=92s Demur, You take lines and shapes and given possibilities and make alphabet. You use it to make sounds and you map out trajectories of thought. You make names and call your children by them. This is done everywhere. And it=92s been done for thousands of years until you became bored with this method =97 until you surrounded and suffocated yourself with these products of your creation. You go through ubiquitous, unrelenting text =97 you are altered by text, by its message. You=92ve had to alter how you see. You are forced to alter text itself. You stare your way through words and into middles of words. You resolve the noise of your eyes. The information you see, you seek, to find another nature therein.

Sometimes an out-growth becomes antagonistic to its source. The Three Words per Poem project tracks the mutation from harvesting personal data for profit unconsciously to inviting personal participation for poetry consciously. The short story was written in response to the media coverage of events in Toronto leading up to the G8 and G20 summits in July 2010. Parts of the story were printed out and posted to various parts of Toronto during the G20 protests by people associated with the Poetic Interventions Project. published in an edition of 50 handbound copies (of which 20 are for sale). $4 each (including shipping) for more information, or to order copies, email derek@housepress.ca derek beaulieu 2 - 733 2nd avenue nw calgary alberta canada T2N 0E4 derek@housepress.ca http://derekbeaulieu.wordpress.com/ ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

In this series of vispo, design elements construct a place for you and eye to land. The dotted i returns u see. Letterforms conjure humanity in their very simplicity. These compositions rework certain concrete poetic ideas. The letters i and u undergo new permutations. It=92s a satisfying jaunt through renewed verbo-visual possibilities. John Moore Williams is part of the next wave of visual poet. - Nico Vassilakis I didn't know who I am before I saw Xerolage 47. I didn't know what I was, or the difference between I and U. I was continually thinking U were I when you were nothing of the kind. But in this book, in this John Moore Williams book, we discover that I am the mother of U, who is I bent in the middle and whose feet point up to the sky. Sometimes, I am a shadow. Sometimes, I is a change. Sometimes, I am in a pile of U's and cannot get out. Sometimes, I is a whirling of shapes. Sometimes, I am spare. Because I go on forever, and I end at the end of each finger, each of which is just another I. I is clean. I am dirty. And in John Moore Williams' hands of ten small I's, I is everywhere and everything, the letter is examined as a meaning and a shape, the I is made into structures of beauty, and if you read the book you just might know what I am and you are. - Geof Huth from the introduction: We are used to thinking of letters as merely media, as windows through which some message is conveyed without interference. They are the superconductors of significance, channels devoid of impedance or static, through which content is, ideally, passed with crystal clarity. This is perhaps most obviously true of the letter I, which has become so concretely associated with individual identity that it has practically disappeared as its own entity. The shape itself reinforces this disappearance; of all the letterforms it is perhaps the sparest, the most Spartan. Compounding this is the fact that it lends itself so easily to the conflation of form and content=97it is, unlike most single letters, a word, and one that abstractly yet forcefully resembles its referent. It is the human form in hieroglyph, a body inscribed. iu seeks to accept, complicate and reject this conflation, this crystal-clear union of sign and signifier. In accepting the sparest of letterforms as its subject, then attempting to create a wide variety of forms out of this simple cloth, the book embraces the generativity of restriction. At the same time, it attempts to explore the multifarious and complex meanings of identity and individuality through simple, iconic forms. Many of the pieces employ the archetypal forms and arrangements of the comic book, that most lyric and identity-obsessed of popular fiction forms, while others work through more concrete arrangements, attempting to graphically depict the semantic content in much the same way the letterform itself does. Oh, and then there=92s the letter U, which our shorthand age has rendered nearly as pictographic as I. John Moore Williams claims to be a poet and, occasionally, an artist. He also claims, marginally more lucratively, to be a copywriter and editor. It=92s fairly certain that he lives in Oakland, California, and that he has authored I discover i is an android (Trainwreck Press, 2008), writ10 (VUGG Books, 2008) and [+!] (Calliope Nerve, 2009)=97the last in collaboration with Matina Stamatakis and Kane X. Faucher. He also edits the visual poetry journal The Bleed (avantexte.com/thebleed). His blog is called SinTax (fissuresofmen.blogspot.com). The primary investigation of Xerolage is how collage technique of 20th century art, typography, computer graphics, visual & concrete poetry movements & the art of the copier have been combined. Each issue is devoted to the work of one artist. 24 pages, 8.5 x 11, $7 includes postage Subscriptions: 4 issues/$20 XEXOXIAL EDITIONS 10375 Cty Hway Alphabet La Farge WI 54639 perspicacity@xexoxial.org =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

An institution =20 himself, Professor Cannon has been active in the multicultural =20 artistic community on the Lower East Side in New York City for almost =20= four decades. As the executive director and founder of Tribes, he has =20= been the central figure of the organization since its inception in =20 1991. He continues to pave its artistic direction, despite having lost =20= his eyesight over a decade ago, an unfortunate occurrence that has =20 only served to sharpen his vision and heighten his desire to advance =20 the development of the arts. A retired professor of the humanities at =20= Medgar Evers College in the CUNY system and the author of the =20 underground classic Groove, Bang and Jive Around, he is closely =20 connected to artists and educators throughout the city. In the early =20 =9260s, he was heavily involved in Umbra, a consortium of primary =20 African-American artists of all disciplines, including such literary =20 luminaries as Ishmael Reed, Calvin Hernton, Victor Hernandez, and =20 David Henderson. Since then, Umbra artists served as founding members and advisors to =20 Tribes. Besides holding court at Tribes, Professor Cannon also serves =20= as the "Official Heckler" at the neighboring Nuyorican Poets Cafe, a =20 brother organization, as well as an advisor to The House of Tribes =20 Theater, a sister organization. In recent years, he extended his =20 influence across the Atlantic with collaborations with Spanish curator =20= Mireia Sentis. Together, they curated Humor and Rage, an exhibition =20 featuring five minority American artists from diverse ethnic =20 backgrounds, which was exhibited in 2001 at La Pedrera, the historical =20= building designed by Gaudi, in Barcelona. **Elastic No-No Band http://www.elasticnonoband.com/ Elastic No-No Band sings songs about manboobs and Klaus Kinski and =20 cheese fries.

The Graduate Humanities Forum of the University of Pennsylvania invites submissions for its 11th annual conference: "Virtual Histories." The one-day interdisciplinary conference will take place on Friday, February 18th, 2011 at the Penn Humanities Forum in conjunction with its 2010-2011 topic: "Virtuality." Ours is, as the commonplace would have it, an age of information. Viewed as part of the old-fashioned scheme of Stone, Bronze, and Iron, our age seems rarefied indeed: hard yet malleable, iron is apt to be shaped by our will, but information is infinitely more so. Poised to escape into pure ideality, we may find it easy to forget that the virtual also has a history. "Virtual Histories" foregrounds the historical matrix in which our information technologies are embedded, seeking traces of the virtual in the rituals and dreams of the past, while at the same time considering the history of virtuality as one not yet enacted. We invite submissions from a wide range of disciplines exploring points of continuity and rupture between past, present, and future virtualities. How do the other worlds of religious doctrine overlap with the other world of Second Life? What is the long history of icons, scripts, and avatars? To what degree are instant wire transfers more virtual than the bills of sale and credit, bank notes, or paper money of earlier centuries? What is the phenomenology of a bank run? What are the ramifications of virtual experience for the empiricism of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume? What is the material history of the virtual? How have constructs of gender and race virtualized bodies, and what are the ethics of bodily escape and transcendence among Platonic users of sites such as match.com? At the same time as we seek to historicize the virtual, we invite contributions that limn possibilities not yet realized, exploring the potential of distant reading and text mining, and considering prospects that continue to emerge for politics, social interaction, and art, not only in visual, but also in auditory and even tactile forms. What new subjectivities and experiences might the virtual make available, perhaps even as it calls into question the stability of those concepts? Other topics for proposals might include the following: -The demarcation of the virtual. -The material bases of virtual superstructures. -"New" media of past eras and virtual appropriations of "old" media. -Grammars and ideologies of the virtual. -Imagined communities and virtual nations. -Intellectual Property and virtual appropriation. -Mimesis, simulation, and sensory prosthetics. Conference Keynote: LISA NAKAMURA (Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) GRIEFING CULTURE AND INCIVILITY ON THE INTERNET Lisa Nakamura is the author or coeditor of four books, including _Digitizing Race: Visual Cultures of the Internet_ (University of Minnesota Press, 2007) and _Race After the Internet_ (with Peter Chow-White, Routledge, forthcoming 2011).

Nakamura is the Director of the Asian American Studies Program, Professor in the Institute of Communication Research and Media Studies Program, and Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she teaches courses on Asian Americans and media as well as introductory and advanced courses on new media criticism, history, and theory. Proposals should be no longer than 250 words, and should be submitted along with a one-page CV by email attachment to Scott Enderle (enderlej [at] english.upenn.edu).

They can mimic or mirror any kind of pattern. Like any human language, where nouns and verbs (etc) can engage in unlimitedly complex additive and multiplicative (etc) dancing, and can thereby 'talk', via code or analogy, about events of any sort, numerical or non-numerical. This is what I meant when I wrote, in chapter 9, that the seeds of pm's destruction were already hinted at by the seemingly innocent fact that pm had enough power to talk about arbitrarily subtle properties of whole numbers. People of earlier eras had intuited much of this richness when they had tried to embed the nature of many diverse aspects of the world around us -- stars, planets, atoms, molecules, colors, curves, notes, harmonies, melodies, and so forth -- in numerical equations or other types of numerical patterns. Four centureis ago, launcing this whole tendency, Galileo had famously declared, "The book of Nature is written in the language of mathematics" . And yet, despite all these centuries of highly successful mathematizations of various aspects of the world, no one before Godel had realized that one of the domains that mathematics can model is *the doing of mathematics itself*. The bottom line, then, is that the unanticipated self-referential twist that Godel found lurking inside Prinipia Mathematica was a natural and inevitable outcome of the deep representational power of whole numbers. Just as it is no miracle that a video system can create a self-referential loop, but rather a kind of obvious triviality due to the power of TV cameras (or, to put it more precisely, the immensely rich representaional power of very large arrays of pixels), so too it is no miracle that Prinipia Mathematica (or any other comparable system) contains self-focused sentences like Godel's formula, for the system of integers, exactly like a TV camera (only more so!) can 'point' at any system whatsoever and can reproduce that system's patterns perfectly on the the metaphorical 'screen' constituted by its set of theorems. And just as in video feedback, the swirsls that result from PM pointing at itself have all sorts of unexpected, emergent properties that require a brand-new vocabulary to describe them." (p 161). ------ The positive integers as "a profoundly rich representational medium" is, of course, right in front of our nose. This text is ultimately represented with/by integers in the computer. And the multimedia nature of the computer is, again, a consequence of the strong representational capacities of the integers. Consequences for poetry? Well, poetry, for me, is about intensest engagement with language. Intensest in what way? Well, intensest significance in all ways. Godel and Turing's work has rocked not only mathematical logic but philosophy, understood properly, and also the quotidian via the computer revolution. Their work has ushered in profound changes in what we think of as language and of how language and number relate to one another. And their work has ushered in profound changes in who and what we think we are. Their work has allowed us to see how we ourselves can be thought of as machines--without demeaning ourselves or our capacities at all--for their work has shown us that the notion of a universal machine is incomparably far beyond the notion of 'dedicated machine' that we have known for so long to circumscribe our notions of what machines are. Poetry is uncoupled now from a notion of it as dedicated solely to words on paper. Not to go there is as regressive as to think of machines simply as necessarily being dedicated as they have been in the past. ja Sept 18, 2010 http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

"Computers originated as integer-calculation machines, and they are still of course validly describable as such -- but we now realize, as Kurt Godel first did back in 1931, that such devices can be equally validly perceived and talked about in terms that are fantastically different from what their originators intended" (Hoftstadter, page 245) Hofstadter takes up the notion of the 'universal machine' at some length. And of 'universal beings'. and this is getting close to the real significance of the book and of Hofstadter's deepest theme since godel escher bach. a 'universal machine', roughly speaking, is one that is not dedicated and limited to any particular task. our computers, being programmable, can be programmed to do anything any conceivable machine can do. the 'turing machine' is as powerful as any possible machine. just like pm is basically as powerful as any of the other formal systems we might use. pm and similar systems, that are simply capable of arithmetic, are the standard mathematical formal systems. hofstadter talks about the simple notion of a universal machine, ie, one that isn't dedicated to a particular task. then he says: "You can use the hardware inside a cell phone to house a word processor, a web browser, a gaggle of video games, and on and on. This, in essence, is what the computer revolution is all about: when a certain well-defined threshhold--I'll call it the 'Godel-Turing threshhold'--is surpassed, then a computer can emulate *any* kind of machine." (p 242) And a couple of paragraphs later: "Inspired by Godel's mapping of PM into itself, Turing realized that the critical threshold for this kind of computational universality comes at exactly that point where a machine is flexible enough to read and correctly interpret a set of data that describe its own structure. At this crucial juncture, a machine can, in principle, explicitly watch how it does any particular task, step by step. Turing realized that a machine that has this critical level of flexibility can imitate any other machine no matter how complex the latter is. In other words, there is nothing more flexible than a universal machine. Universality is as far as you can go." (p 242) "The early computer engineers thought of their computers as number-crunching devices and did not see numbers as a universal medium. Today, we do not see numbers that way either, but our lack of understanding is for an entirely different reason--in fact for exactly the opposite reason. Today it is because all those numbers are so neatly hidden behind the screen.... I could list hundreds of things that take place on computer screens, but few people ever think about the fact that all of this is happening couresy of *addition and multiplication of integers* way down at the hardware level. (p. 244) Of course, the main theme of Hofstadter's book 'I Am A Strange Loop' concerns the relation of our own nature to that of the universal machine, and the sort of universality he talks about. I won't go into that in this email. A fascinating book, though. I highly recommend it. ja Sept 18, 2010 http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

FALL 2010 WORKSHOPS & SIGN-UP INFO / TO NEITHER EXTREME: TEXTS FROM OTHER CENTURIES AND THE WORKS CONTEMPORARY POETS MAKE FROM THEM =AD KAREN WEISER FRIDAYS 7PM =8B 9PM / 10 SESSIONS / BEGINS OCTOBER 8TH So much of how we think of history comes to us in the form of narratives. What happens to our understanding when that text from the past is poetry or is re-visioned into poetry? How do poets work with historical texts or different kinds of older disciplinary narratives? For a brief period early scientific texts were poems, and yet our culture seems to have mostly forgotten that poetry has the capacity to be wide in what it attempts to do or think through. Lisa Robertson writes in the poem =B3Palinode/=B2: =B3Though my object is history, not neutrality / I am prepared to adhere to neither extreme.=B2 My hope is that we can explore our own writing as it comes out of a reading practice, considering history without feeling inclined to =B3adhere= =B2 to its formulations. We will look at pairings made up of contemporary poems and the works (or historical subjects) they converse with, seriously engaging both texts on their own terms and together, while writing poems that make use of the past to open new vistas of inquiry. =A0 Some texts will include selections from: A Key Into the Language of America by Rosmarie Waldrop and A Key Into the Language of America by Roger Williams; Fred Moten=B9s Hughson=B9s Tavern and Jill Lepore=B9s New York Burning; and Aaron Kunin=B9s The Sore Throat and William James The Principles of Psychology, Vol= . 1. ; Lisa Robertson=B9s R=B9s Boat and Rousseau=B9s =B3Fifth Walk=B2; Elizabeth Willis=B9s Meteoric Flowers and Erasmus Darwin=B9s The Botanic Garden; Susan Howe=B9s =B3Thorow=B2 and Thoreau=B9s Walden. Karen Weiser=B9s first book of poems, T= o Light Out, was published by Ugly Duckling Presse in the Spring of 2010. She is a doctoral candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center studying early American literature. POETRY ON THE FLY =AD JOEL LEWIS SATURDAYS NOON =8B 2PM / 5 SESSIONS / BEGINS OCTOBER 9TH Although the contemporary trend in poetry tends towards book-length project= s and beyond, what is a poet to do when she lives on the fringes of a far-awa= y =B3up & coming=B2 neighborhood, shares an apartment with 5 other people (three of which are in a band) and juggles a series of poorly paying and widely scattered teaching jobs? This workshop focuses on the art of writing where you happen to be and taking advantage of a few snatched moments in a coffee bar or on a seat in a slowly moving =B3G=B2 train. Working paradigms include Frank O=B9Hara =8Cs Lunch Poems, written during the noon sup on a stationary store=B9s chained typewriter (instructor will explain this piece of equipment to those under 30), Philip Whalen=B9s poetry of notebooks compressed into viable worlds, Paul Blackburn=B9s subway poems and his open-form Journals project & Joan Kyger=B9s in-the-moment poetics. Requirements for class are: a notebook, some form of writing device and a Metro Card with some money on it. Joel Lewis travels to work via ferry, light rail subway, bus and goat cart to his social work gig on Staten Island =8B always with a roller ball pe= n & Moleskine=AE notebook at his ready. He is considered the sole member of the 4th generation of New York School Poets, while serving as the poetic conscious for the state of New Jersey. With that in mind, his most recent book is Learning From New Jersey (Talisman House). OUT OF YOUR MIND (AND IN YOUR BODY): A MOVEMENT WORKSHOP FOR WRITERS =AD SALL= Y SILVERS=20 TUESDAYS AT 7PM =8B 9PM / 10 SESSIONS / BEGINS OCTOBER 12TH This is a movement workshop for writers who want to explore creating movement out of words and writing out of movement. No dance, theater, or athletic ability/experience is required. Dancers or choreographers who want to work with language and with untrained movers are also very welcome.=A0 We=B9ll start with a physical warm up designed to fire up your senses, center you in your body, and get your creative juices flowing.=A0 We=B9ll explore ways of writing inspired by movement.=A0 We=B9ll look at people moving on video (fro= m Jerry Lewis, and Robin Williams to sports to break dancing, from Yvonne Rainer, Douglas Dunn, Bill T. Jones to my own dances) with an eye toward ne= w kinds of writing:=A0 texts to accompany performance, to combine poetry with documentation, that designs movement or is energized by it.=A0 We=B9ll look at some texts that have inspired or accompanied dance & performance (from Emil= y Dickinson to Vito Acconci to John Cage, etc.)=A0 And we=B9ll especially look at our own writing to imagine performing it=A0 & putting it in motion. Through collaborations, talking about videos, writing and editing together and alone, we=B9ll create performances that spotlight the experiments that start with our bodies. When you stimulate your body, your creative process comes alive in ways that will amaze you.=A0 Let=B9s open some new horizons for your writing.=A0 Did I already say no movement training or dance experience necessary? Wear or bring comfortable clothes & shoes. Sally Silvers is writer/ choreographer who has been making dances and texts for 30 years.=A0 Her first group work featured non-dancer poets.=A0 She also currently dances for Yvonne Rainer.=A0 THE IRREPARABLE, IRRETRIEVABLE AND FORGIVENESS =AD AKILAH OLIVER SATURDAYS AT NOON =8B 2PM / 5 SESSIONS / BEGINS NOVEMBER 13TH For this workshop process, consider the poem as that which poses the question, that the poem doesn=B9t necessarily represent knowledge or =B3experience=B2, but rather seeks to understand the world, in all its terribly beautiful humanness. What is rupture? Rapture?=A0 What does it mean, essentially, to forgive?=A0 Are both loss and love forms of the irretrievable?=A0 In this workshop, we will pay careful attention to the composition of the poem as a process as of investigation and discovery into these questions, and the many questions that spin off from these.=A0 Can language, poetry, the collapsing of text, create an/other text that transmutes, holds, witnesses, traces, and recreates itself?=A0 Where does the body enter this discourse? Where does the sentence/line begin?=A0 Can a poem witness?=A0 This workshop invites participants think of the poem as a compositional field to investigate the irreparable, the irretrievable, and forgiveness.=A0 We will look at theory and philosophical texts next to poetry= , and vice versa. For example, Alice Notley read alongside Giorgio Agamben; Avital Ronell read alongside Leslie Scalapino. A poet, performer, and teacher, Akilah Oliver=B9s most recent book is A Toast in the House of Friend= s (Coffee House Books). The workshop fee is $350, which includes a one year Sustaining Poetry Project membership and tuition for any and all spring and fall classes. Reservations are required due to limited class space, and payment must be received in advance. Caps on class sizes, if in effect, will be determined by workshop leaders.

Well, ok, Deconstruction is a made up word in French but it wasn't made up by Derrida, and it's not a bizarre, fancy sounding word that to most people actually just means, "word you would never understand so you should never use". For example, you see it constantly on the side of buildings that are "under construction"=97which means, not that the building is being torn down and rebuilt, but that the structure of the building remains intact while certain defunct features are being removed and replaced or redone. In America we might call this remodeling or rehabbing. I am still looking for a better word in English to translate this word, but have not quite found it. Perhaps "under construction" is actually perfect. I think this is useful, not only for understanding Deconstruction but even for pedagogical purposes. I remember being an undergraduate and wanting very badly to understand what Deconstruction was but have many professors evade the subject. If someone had just translated the word for me and explained that in this case it refers to texts instead of buildings I would have been very happy I think. Ok, thanks!

The poems mimic Talmudic rhetoric, style and turns of phrase, as they reflect on the contemporary Jewish experience, jazz, dreams= , loneliness and more. The horn players, acting as Talmud=92s interpreters Ra= shi and Tosefot spontaneously riff on the spoken material and each other=92s reaction to it. * * *AYN SOF ARKESTRA & BIGGER BAND* NYC=92s newest addition to the canon of new Jewish influenced music and culture, the Ayn Sof Arkestra and Bigger Band, under the direction of saxophonist Jazz Rabbi Greg Wall and grammy winning trumpeter Frank London. The Arkestra consists of some of the most innovative artists on the scene today, such as Pam Fleming, Paul Shapiro, Aaron Alexander, Fima Ephron, Eya= l Maoz and many others. The repertoire will consist of original compositions and arrangements of the members and guest composers, in the great NuJu/Rad Jew/SunRaJoo tradition. *About the artists:* * * *Jake Marmer* merges poetry, music, and performance into various philosophically potent mixtures. He has performed extensively in New Yorkan= d Jerusalem with his band Frantic Turtle, Mima=92amakim collective, and vario= us hip downtown characters. Trumpeter/composer *Frank London* is a Grammy-winning member of the Klezmatics, and has performed with John Zorn, LL Cool J, Mel Torme, LaMonte Young, They Might Be Giants, David Byrne, among others. He is featured on over 100 CDs. Saxophonist *Greg Wall* has performed and recorded with Hasidic New Wave, Greg Wall Trio, The Wall/London Band, Neshama Carlebach, the Hi-Tops, Greg Wall's Unity Orchestra, and has made many session appearances for record dates and film scores. The *Ayn Sof Arkestra and Bigger Band* is 15-piece radical jazz and klezmer project under the direction of Greg Wall and Frank London. It's NYC=92s new= est and hottest addition to the canon of Jewish influenced music and culture. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

It is a much more drastic reviewing of the nature of literature. Whatever deconstruction means when on the side of a building, it does not mean that in Derrida, for instance. Deconstructionism is more like saying that a building is designed by its inhabitants and not by its architects. The confusion is understandable. It requires a reorientation of thinking.

Our c= ontributors and readers are publishers, scholars, librarians, journalists, = students, technologists, attorneys, retailers, and others with an interest = in the methods and means of contemporary publishing. At its inception in Ja= nuary 1995, JEP carved out an important niche by recognizing that print com= munication was in the throes of significant change, and that digital commun= ication would become an important--and in some cases predominant--means for= transmitting published information. =0A =0A =0A =0AJEP aspires to document the changes in publishing, and in some cases to = stimulate and shape the direction of those changes. The articles present in= novative ideas, best practices, and leading-edge thinking about all aspects= of publishing, authorship, and readership. The editor and publisher are co= mmitted to presenting wide-ranging and diverse viewpoints on contemporary p= ublishing practices, and to encouraging dialogue and understanding between = key decision-makers in publishing and those who are affected by the decisio= ns being made. =0A =0A =0A =0AThe content of each issue, and the overall tone of the Journal is the re= sponsibility of the editor, Judith Axler Turner. Ms. Turner has worked as a= reporter for the New York Times, Washington Post, and the National Journal= . She pioneered the many electronic publishing innovations made by the Chro= nicle of Higher Education in the late twentieth century as their Director o= f Electronic Publishing. She is now an information technology management co= nsultant at Turner Consulting Group, which principally serves the federal g= overnment. =0A =0A =0A =0AJEP is published by the Scholarly Publishing Office (SPO), http://www.li= b.umich.edu/spo/, a unit of the University of Michigan University Library. = SPO is committed to the concept of library-based scholarly publishing. Inde= ed, the SPO believes that this is a necessary next step for academic librar= ies, as the university takes control not only of the creation of informatio= n, but its dissemination. To do that, the SPO has been unstinting in its ef= fort to provide low-cost, scalable mechanisms for electronic publication an= d distribution of journals and scholarly databases. =0A =0A =0A =0ASPO's publishing efforts for JEP are supported in part by the University= of Michigan University Library, and in part by sponsorship of industry lea= ders in scholarly communication and electronic publishing whose names are a= t the bottom of each JEP page. SPO recognizes and respects the strengths of= traditional publishing firms, and encourages an open and ongoing exchange = of information and ideas such that we fulfill our common vision of advancin= g knowledge and scholarship.

I know many of us are= anti-establishment, anti-academy, yada yada, and there certainly is no imp= erative for everyone or anyone to join. However, since so many of us try t= o make a living in, around, and about innovative poetry, it seems prudent a= nd timely. Sure we go to conferences, like MLA, &Now, and Louisville's 20C conference;= even AWP has become hospitable to those of us who do not do referential, e= xpressive poetry. Certainly, I think many of us have been piggybacking on = the Modernist Studies Association or other groups like that as a home-away-= from-home, but I always feel so schizophrenic when I'm there, with papers o= n Edwardian periodicals and fashion AND Charles Bernstein, as if the were f= rom the same epoch. Maybe they are, but I think genre and an attitude towa= rds modernity make a difference. If anyone is interested in forming a formal organization, either as a stand= -alone entity, one with an annual conference, or as a part of the MLA, back= channel me.

Sign After the X is structurally similar to some of Clark's earlier works such as A is for Apple (http://aisforapple.net ) and 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein ( http://88constellations.net ). The form of these works is one that Clark has been developing for some time now; A is for Apple, the first of them, was published in 2002. The nodes or chapters or sections of these hypermedia works are done in Flash. They're multimedia approaches to a subject. We hear a voice reading a text about Freud or Lacan or Wittgenstein or X (etc) while Clark's animated visuals improvise with the text--in the sense that the visuals explicate or explore or expand or riff on the text's meaning. Sign After the X is organized into five categories: Mind, Body, Land, Language, and Law. Each of these contains anywhere from four to thirty nodes/Flash works. The putative subject of Sign After the X is "the letter X and it's multiple meanings in our culture". And, yes, I can see that in some of the material presented. But it seems to me there's considerably more going on than that. For instance, in the 'Mind' section, we encounter about thirty hypermedia works, many of which are explanatory of or exploratory of Freud's ideas. Perhaps these are indeed related to X, but I don't know how. However, that is not a criticism; the hypermedia works are often compelling in their voiced text and almost always are interesting in their visual nature and workings. The connection with X is not obvious and might emerge with more exploration of other parts of the work, which is unusually large for a work of net art. Some of the hypermedia works are not so good. The reading of Coleridge's "Kubla Kahn", for instance. Particularly by the guy who normally reads those theorified texts. Yeesh. But many of them are fascinating and considerably more original than a bad reading of "Kubla Khan" accompanied with mild visuals. The interest of Clark's work, to me, is in his avoiding, for the most part, such cliches of digital literary production. His background is in visual art. The individual nodes are often very polished, and that which links them, and the resulting overall shape and semantic, thematic structure, are of great interest in these fascinating works by David Clark. I don't see anyone else exploring this sort of form in the same way Clark has been since 2002. If you find Sign After the X of interest, you should also check out his site http://chemicalpictures.net for other projects and writings. ja http://netartery.vispo.com http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

As the executive director and founder of Tribes, he has =20= been the central figure of the organization since its inception in =20 1991. He continues to pave its artistic direction, despite having lost =20= his eyesight over a decade ago, an unfortunate occurrence that has =20 only served to sharpen his vision and heighten his desire to advance =20 the development of the arts. A retired professor of the humanities at =20= Medgar Evers College in the CUNY system and the author of the =20 underground classic Groove, Bang and Jive Around, he is closely =20 connected to artists and educators throughout the city.

Besides holding court at Tribes, Professor Cannon also serves =20= as the "Official Heckler" at the neighboring Nuyorican Poets Cafe, a =20 brother organization, as well as an advisor to The House of Tribes =20 Theater, a sister organization. In recent years, he extended his =20 influence across the Atlantic with collaborations with Spanish curator =20= Mireia Sentis. Together, they curated Humor and Rage, an exhibition =20 featuring five minority American artists from diverse ethnic =20 backgrounds, which was exhibited in 2001 at La Pedrera, the historical =20= building designed by Gaudi, in Barcelona. **Elastic No-No Band http://www.elasticnonoband.com/ Elastic No-No Band sings songs about manboobs and Klaus Kinski and =20 cheese fries.

The Living Writers Reading Series at UC Santa Cruz presents: A reading by Rachel Loden Thursday, September 30 6:00 pm UC Santa Cruz Humanities Lecture Hall 206 Info (UCSC Literature Dept.): (831) 459-4778 Rachel Loden is the author of Dick of the Dead (Ahsahta Press), a finalist for both the 2010 PEN USA Literary Award for Poetry and the California Book Award. It was also one of the three most-cited books in Attention Span 2009 ("a collectively-drawn map of the field"), landing on lists by Rae Armantrout and others. The Washington Post's "Poet's Choice" column featured a poem from the book and it has been called "oddly sublime" and "intoxicating" by the Poetry Project Newsletter and "expansive and whimsical" by the Brooklyn Rail. Loden's first book, Hotel Imperium (Georgia), won the Contemporary Poetry Series competition and was selected as one of the ten best poetry books of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle, which called it "quirky and beguiling." It was also short-listed for the Northern California Book Award. Loden has published four chapbooks, including The Last Campaign (which won the Hudson Valley Writers' Center chapbook competition) and The Richard Nixon Snow Globe (Wild Honey Press). Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in New American Writing, Lana Turner: A Journal of Poetry and Opinion, two editions of the Best American Poetry series, Western Wind: An Introduction to Poetry, and many other magazines and anthologies. Loden's microplay, "A Quaker Meeting in Yorba Linda," was performed in New York as part of Plays on Words: A Poets Theater Festival curated by Tony Torn, Lee Ann Brown and Corina Copp. She is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a Fellowship in Poetry from the California Arts Council, an &NOW Award, and a grant from the Fund for Poetry. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

"take it easy" was the first song on the first eagles album. and, though they made many brilliant songs, "take it easy" is probably the best of them. jackson browne wrote most of it. glenn frey heard browne playing it downstairs and asked if he could use it for his new band. jackson said yes but you have to finish it. wow did frey finish it. and they don't owe the folks in winslow anything, perhaps, but thanks for making such a beautiful thing in homage to their song. a place where lots of people suddenly found themselves, as it were, in one of their favorite songs. but it's sad the place is maybe going down. can't even 'take it easy' anymore without a fence around it and demolition a possibility. i thought that was an interesting comment on the state of things now. and in relation to another era in usamerican history. ja http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

An audiovisual installation, with recorded or live performances. tr=EDd an gcoill, a 120-page poem by S=E9amas Cain, is itself a poetic field recording. It evokes a walk through Dromore Woods in County Clare. It immerses the reader in a stream of words and word-clusters. The overall effect is hypnotic, as we are led by a piped piper into the heart of the wood. Czech sound-artist Slavek Kwi has created an audiovisual installation from underwater and field recordings captured in Dromore Woods itself, and fused these elements with S=E9amas Cain's chanted recital of tr=EDd an gcoill. This installation with performances will be open to the public in City Arts, with Free Admission. tr=EDd an gcoill creates a unique space in which one can experience nature and language through sounds and visions of uncanny beauty. S=E9amas Cain is an Irish-American experimental poet, a friend and colleague of Jean Genet and Allen Ginsberg. One of the most radical voices in modern literature he writes in Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Old Celtic, Spanish and English. For additional information, go to ... http://seamascain-writernetwork.org Slavek Kwi is a Czech sound-artist, composer and researcher. From the early nineties he has operated under the name "Artificial Memory Trace." For additional information, go to ... http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com Seamus Johnson described Cain's recorded chantings of tr=EDd an gcoill for this Installation as "incantatory, rhythmic, passionate, guttural, mezmerizing. Cain is the baritone ascending to Apollo. Or, is he the baritone ascending Mt. Carmel? He does tend to get carried away in performance, lost in a kind of trance, at times in the passion of the moment whacking the microphones. Indeed, Cain's performance is hypnotic! Plenty of auditory images! And plenty of rich and diverse sounds to be chopped up for computer-randomization!" Slavek Kwi used chance operations to distribute the fragments of Cain's chantings in various speakers of a vertical Speaker Tree, which doesn't brake the continuous chanting, but changes the architecture as texture and dynamics. Also, Kwi used chance operations on the distribution in speakers of the timbre of Cain's chantings. Kwi's Installation includes a color film, with parts of the text of the tr=EDd an gcoill poem superimposed in scrolling effect over images from Dromore Woods, a slide-show with 1,500 slides, an environmental soundtrack on external 5.1 system and also a Voice Tower, all edited using chance operations.

It's true Deconstruction is not the same thing as remodeling. However, I think it is very important when reading and especially in teaching Derrida to understand the effects of the translation=97what is lost and gained in the passage from one language to another. Deconstruction is primarily a method of reading that is tied to a long and complex history of many different (textual) notions in philosophy and literature. It is difficult (if not impossible and perhaps purposefully so), so to speak, to separate the bird from the branch (is that an expression, separate the bird from the branch?) and give a totalizing definition of Deconstruction that is not tied directly to its specific context(s) while in use. This is exactly why it can be so valuable to examine the meaning of the word in French; and by word I mean: also the resonances that it has beyond its use in philosophy and literary criticism: its various homophones and homonyms, its figural history, its roots and dissemination into the culture at large etc. What does a French speaker (such as Derrida) "hear" when using the word "Deconstruction." This is also useful for other concepts in Derrida such as play. Of course a precise definition of the word in translation is not a definition of the concept or its use. I very much like the metaphor of the building that is designed by its inhabitants. I think remodeling can be useful (although, I agree, not an adequate translation! Deconstruction is a much better translation for Deconstruction) for a similar reason: I think it's a common misconception that Deconstruction means to undo or negate structure, which, in my reading, is not the case. Nice to be able to discuss this. xoxo Lily On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 6:07 PM, Murat Nemet-Nejat wrot= e: > Hi, Lily, > > but deconstructionism in literature does not mean remodeling.

I played audio of 4 poems by Slavek at*couscous@sou= ndeye * this year, during the *SoundEye Festival of the Arts of the Word*. The first 3 poems was written in "a purely phonetic imaginary language," which Slavek introduced as follows: *When I left former-Czechoslovakia in 1986, I attempted to cross border in mountains between Austria and Germany, that time called West Germany. I was captured by German authorities and placed in camp for political refugees in Schonau Am Konigsee in Alps. Only way to express myself was that time writing; mainly poetry and drawing =96 i could not make music. I was writin= g in Czech language, but nobody would understand. My mother tongue became ver= y fast sort of redundant and also I was not able to write in any other language. I entered in strange transition: i started to write in purely phonetic imaginary language, I was focussed only on sounds and still keepin= g characteristic sounds of Czech language. I recorded 3 examples of such poems, originally written 1986; there is no meaning except for tonal qualities of spoken word.

Cheers! Jonathan Minton www.wordforword.info + + + "Yes, Noise, or No," by Brennen Wysong Buy a wolf trap and a handkerchief. Purchase a wolf-proof door. You will construct tiny cityscapes with bird bones inside snow globes. You will fill the globes with a mixture of bits of tinsel and freshly ground pepper. The wolves will in fact be wolfram. The warmth will be war. The theater will be where the war will be waged. You, inchworm, will measure the marigolds. And then, it will happen just like this: You will cover your body in a dull dusting of wolfram, hoping someone will rub against you for warmth, hoping you will bring brief shadow to a darkened theater, where the marigolds have been ushered to their seats in the wings. The wings-and they are yours, of course, attached to your back after losing your hands-will be read by X-ray tubes using the wolfram. You will try to find tumult on the periodic table of elements.

I have heard many reasons why poetry is isolated, but this is a new one. "poetry, these days, needs to be an umbrella term for deep concerns of language and art cross-stitched amongs many fields and modes of perception/reception. for instance, the role of language in contemporary mathematical logic is of philosophical significance and also has turned out to be of very practical significance in that the work of godel and turing led to the creation of the computer, that universal number+language machine." What exactly does the above passage mean, particularly the phrase "the role of language in contemporary mathematical logic"? "the philosophical underpinnings of the poetics of computation, of computer art, can be strongly linked with the work of godel and turing and its consequences concerning language, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and the multimedial/intermedial." As far as I can see, all you are saying here is that poetry is not poetry unless related to Godel and Turing's work. That's quite a bit of a tall order, don't you think, though I can understand their potential or realized importance in some kind of poetry. "poetry needs to be able to travel at the forefront of any field." What does also this sentence mean, that poetry should become a kind of supermench, the way opera was for Wagner?

I only wanted to say that deconstruction, as it ha= s ended meaning in poetics and philosophy, is much more, beyond re-modeling. It was trying to avoid decepive simplications. I am glad you liked my metaphor of deconstruction being a building designed by its inhabitants. It came to me on the spur of the moment.

I would hope you're the only one who reads it that way, Murat. Cuz that's not what I said. But, by now, how could I be surprised by your reading it that way, considering that you've also said that computer art is fascistic and that computers are to blame for the economic collapse. Computers, computer art, and, possibly, computer artists seem to freak you out. I find it hard to talk with you about these things cuz yer always jumping to this sort of conclusion. What I was saying is this. The work of Godel and Turing is fundamental to the poetics of computation and computer art and the multimedial/intermedial because it is fundamental to the theory of computation; and the theory of computation is concerned with exploring the theoretical capabilities and limitations of computing machines. Turing invented the 'Turing machine', the 'abstract machine', the mathematical model of a computing machine, to show that there are some tasks that no computing machine can *ever* carry out. In other words, he invented the modern computer to show that it has certain limitations. As opposed to inventing it to get it to do stuff that couldn't be done otherwise. Which, to me, is the sort of poetical thing that we see time and again in Godel's and Turing's work. > That's quite a bit of a tall > order, don't you think, though I can understand their potential or > realized > importance in some kind of poetry. > > "poetry needs to be able to travel at the forefront of any field." > > What does also this sentence mean, that poetry should become a kind of > supermench, the way opera was for Wagner? Supermench? No. When we look at the impact of computing on language, we can talk about it in many ways, can concentrate on different things. The way, for instance, that the net crosses X with Y, brings ideas into contact with one another, and, consequently, the languages associated with those ideas. Or the way it brings media into contact with one another, by being capable of representing all sorts of different media all on the same screen or in the same machine; and, consequently, brings the languages both of and about those media into contact with one another. Or the way it brings people into contact with one another, being capable of representing communication channels (such as telephone) as well as traditional media like print, recorded sound, and video/TV, etc. The impact of computing on language is in all sorts of cross-fertilization of language X with language Y, whether the languages are natural or other types of languages. Poetry is one of the fields that can use those energies expressively, innovatively, in a way that captures the contemporary, and furthers our understanding of what is happening to language(s) and us via computing. ja http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

It was also one of the three most-cited books in Attention Span 2009 ("a collectively-drawn map of the field"), landing on lists by Rae Armantrout and others. The Washington Post's "Poet's Choice" column featured a poem from the book and it has been called "oddly sublime" and "intoxicating" by the Poetry Project Newsletter and "expansive and whimsical" by the Brooklyn Rail. Loden's first book, Hotel Imperium (Georgia), won the Contemporary Poetry Series competition and was selected as one of the ten best poetry books of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle, which called it "quirky and beguiling." It was also short-listed for the Northern California Book Award. Loden has published four chapbooks, including The Last Campaign (which won the Hudson Valley Writers' Center chapbook competition) and The Richard Nixon Snow Globe (Wild Honey Press). Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in New American Writing, Lana Turner: A Journal of Poetry and Opinion, two editions of the Best American Poetry series, Western Wind: An Introduction to Poetry, and many other magazines and anthologies. Loden's microplay, "A Quaker Meeting in Yorba Linda," was performed in New York as part of Plays on Words: A Poets Theater Festival curated by Tony Torn, Lee Ann Brown and Corina Copp. She is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a Fellowship in Poetry from the California Arts Council, an &NOW Award, and a grant from the Fund for Poetry. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Viola, oud, saz, guitar? Keyboard. Laptop. Microphone. Books. CHRIS FUNKHOUSER is a poet, scholar, and multimedia artist. In 2009, the Associated Press commissioned him to prepare digital poems for the occasion of Barack Obama's inauguration. He is author of the documentary study, Prehistoric Digital Poetry: An Archaeology of Forms, 1959-1995, and an eBook (CD-ROM), Selections 2.0. He currently teaches at New Jersey Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania, is a Senior Editor at PennSound, a member of the scientific review committee of the digital literature journal regards crois?s (University of Paris 8), is on the Advisory Board of the Digital Poetry Archive of Canada, and is an External Collaborator with Ncleo de Ciberteatro, Insituto Politcnico do Porto (Portugal). Since 1986 he has been an editor with We Press, with whom he has produced poetry in a variety of media. A widely published author, he was Visiting Fulbright Scholar at Multimedia University in Cyberjaya, Malaysia (2006), on the summer writing program faculty of the Naropa University (2007), and is presently Digital Poet-in-Residence at Bowery Poetry Club (New York City). ALAN SONDHEIM is our (all our) resident genius and provocateur. He is also an important artist, theorist, code-worker, poet, musician, choreographer, essayist, filmmaker, video-maker, performer and new-media innovator, who has been working tirelessly and prolifically and with astonishing results since before I was born. If youre lucky, you may be on one of his email lists, which are the primary way he distributes his writing and other work. Sondheim has a new book of poetry out from Salt Press: DEEP LANGUAGE. Maria Damon says it tangles us up in these hypnotically repetitive, abject, slyly humorous and childishly gleeful, philosophically, aesthetically, theoretically and psychologically dense and insightful poems, that are also essays, diasporic riffs and incantations, true confessions, Platonic dialogues, shtick, tantrums, aphorisms and manifesti. John Cayley says he is one of the precious few who joyfully and in abject misery risks these terrors of writing for us, for our pleasure and our undoing. What happens? Language disposes of us. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

The latter reduces the concept of poetics to nonsense. There are things in the world that are simply different from each other. How does the notion of poetics of computation "reduce the concept of poetics to nonsense", Mark? The notion of poetics of computation is certainly involved in philosophies or poetics of computer art. Because what distinguishes computer art from other types of art is a consequence of the computational capabilities of computers, capabilities that aren't shared with other media or machines. 'Computer poetry', or whatever we call poetry that's specific to computing media, is a type of computer art. Consequently, poetics of computation is relevant to 'computer poetry'. But, more generally, I think poetics of computation are relevant, in a literary context, beyond poetry that's specific to computing media. Because even if we're not making art that's specific to computing media, we're interested in the special characteristics and properties of media that we work with. Just like we're interested in philosophies that grow out of those characteristics and properties. Here's a very concrete example of how the theory of computation can be of use in art and, therefore, to poetics of computation. I remember reading someone quite well-known in computer poetry and media art say that no machine can re-write its own code. But this is false. Computers certainly are capable, given the appropriate programming, of re-writing their own code. The writer perpetually came across as thinking that computers are glorified typewriters or glorified tvs or stereos and so forth. In other words, he came across as thinking that computers are glorified traditional media devices. Now, if that's what somebody thinks, then their expectations, concerning digital art, are going to be 'more of the same'. More traditional art, just a bit different in gadgetry. However, properly understood--and the theory of computation is very useful to a proper understanding--computers are very far beyond simply being traditional media devices in a different guise. They are radically flexible machines, are flexible to the point that they can rewrite their own code, and there is no proof and probably never will be that there exist thought processes of which humans are capable and computers are not. In other words, computers are likely, in theory, as flexible as *thought itself*. This sort of understanding makes for higher expectations concerning computer art. And surely also involve something we might describe as poetics of computation. ja http://vispo.com Sept 29, 2010 ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

For a while, any= way.=20 =20 Why has it grown so much? Population growth, obviously. More people, more p= oets. A world made smaller by technology, & with English the lingua franca = we are now seeing Indian & Chinese & Ghanian poets writing in a second lang= uage as part of the everyday offerings. The exponential growth of publishin= g methodology which means more books, more cheaply. More magazines=E2=80=94= duotrope's digest has around 3000 outlets listed. The growth of MFA program= s in creative writing=E2=80=94this is going to be one of the first areas to= go belly up. It's simple economics. People in these programs are trained o= nly to become teachers of MFA programs in creative writing programs; there = will soon be=E2=80=94if there isn't already=E2=80=94an oversupply of teache= rs; demand for the programs will drop off because there's no guarantee of a= job on the other side; & bums on seats is the guiding principle of academi= a these days.=20 =20 So it may seem we have opposing points of view, you wanting to bring more p= eople, me saying there are already too many. But I think we both have cavea= ts attached, qualifiers perhaps; & what we're both moving towards is how do= we attract more people=E2=80=94whether already in the macrocosm or still t= o come=E2=80=94to the type of poetry we care about, to that part of it we b= oth adhere to.=20 =20 Let me step outside the sphere of poetics for a moment & quote from a book = that is a cornerstone of my library, Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scienti= fic Revolutions. In it Kuhn puts forward his beliefs as to why certain bodi= es of thought, often exemplified by specific texts, provided the impetus to= change the way particular fields of science were pursued, the way what he = called "paradigm shifts" came about: =20 They were able to do so because they shared two essential characteristics. = Their achievement was sufficiently unprecedented to attract an enduring gro= up of adherents away from competing modes of scientific activity. Simultane= ously, it was sufficiently open-ended to leave all sorts of problems for th= e redefined group of practitioners to resolve.=20 =20 I'll explain why I think Kuhn is relevant. To me, poetics, like politics, h= as a reasonably revolutionary left wing & a conservative right. &, again li= ke politics, it is the left that is full of schisms. Yet the left wing has = a history as strong as that that the right professes to. But these days its= impact is diminished because it's splintered. I have fairly eclectic & wid= e-ranging tastes, but when I came back to poetry I found that if I wanted t= o read one group of poets I liked I had to go here, & if I wanted to read a= nother group I had to go there, & another elsewhere, & if I wanted to see/r= ead vispo, then I had to go searching in 100 places. & yet they're all esse= ntially related even though sometimes the bloodlines are denied. =20 Back to Kuhn. We have the "enduring group of adherents"; we have the open-e= ndedness; what we don't have is a sense of the commonality that actually do= es exist even though many practioners spend a deal of time turning the mino= r differences into unbridgeable chasms. Somehow we have to bring things bac= k together again, to show the breadth & the strength of the left even if th= e house has many mansions. I think that by doing that we will attract a wid= er & better-informed audience. It's what I've tried to do with Otoliths. [= =E2=80=A6] I think I am succeeding in bringing things back together again, = to show the breadth & the strength of the left even if the house has many m= ansions. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Jim, As far as I can see the above are your words, not mine. I never said computer art is fascistic. I may have said something like "*computers*create fascistic possibilities" as they create also possibilities for chaos/and freedom and outreach. There is no doubt computers add a very strong doze of instability to the world -as things may happen in lightening speed- for good and evil. Because of computers our traditional ideal of privacy is already undermined. If it chooses to, the state now has the capability to know many things about ourselves -more than we ourselves care remember- and one day can use that knowledge for subtle (or implicit) blackmail (like having an internal inhibiting chip, so to speak). On the other hand, the state computer gives a potent tool to the public at a relatively cheap price. It facilitates asymmetrical conflict, etc. etc. etc.... Computer is a double-edged sword as I said a number of times before. Its ambiguous, high octane energy (its historically absolutely pivotal place) makes it sublimely poetic. My work -as, if you had bothered to look at it you would have discovered; as you know, I had made it available to you- is saturated with references to machines and computers and the affinity (basically spiritual, almost religious) between them and the human mind. The poem *The Spiritual Life of Replicants* is about that relation and how it affects consciousness, language and the concept of time. In other words, the idea that I am "freaked," "scared" by computers is utter nonsense. I am excited by it, its potent ambiguity. To be blunt about it, my frustration with you is that you seem to be one of those who know a lot and understand nothing. When I approached you in the past with a philosophical, conceptual question about computers (questions which have nothing to to symbolic logic, etc.), you answered with a software software solution (use this program, do this, do that!) revealing to me that even the import of my question is beyond your understanding. I follow your work reasonably well, quite often checking the links you mention on this list. When I wrote about your Angkor Wat piece about a year ago, I attacked you because you basically knew nothing about the places whose images you were appropriating for your own version of "surrealism," that those places were much more profoundly odd than your surrealism -and the profound disjunctive effect that lack of knowledge was creating and that you were not even aware of this moral/philosophical and finally aesthetic, in other words, poetic failure.

And th= ere are examples even today of poets surviving, and working, beyond the aca= demic culture. Yet almost none of them are accepted as valid by that domina= nt culture. Hank Lazer made a strong argument in this regard in the two vol= umes of his Opposing Poetries. Those poetries being the academic, writing s= chool poetry, which he calls "plainverse", and the, at that time, up and co= ming avant-garde which generally falls under the term 'language' poetry. Re= garding this, it seems the academy has found a solution to revolt by taking= a lesson from the markets of the 1970s. Rather than resist the burgeoning = "revolution" against complacency and materialism it simply devoured it in t= he name of style and fashion and sold the trappings=E2=80=94the clothes, ha= ircuts, and symbology=E2=80=94in a slightly refined form to the culture at = large. The result was the decadence of the late 1970s and 1980s. Similarly,= the academy has begun to absorb some of the language poets, often over the= strenuous objection of the writing school poets, and has thereby transform= ed the avant-garde into a codified, institutionally verified avant-garde th= at can be taught (marketed) to a growing, though less popular, subculture. = One can imagine a time (is that time already here?) when in order to be acc= epted as an avant-garde poet a young writer would be required to have a mas= ters and possibly a doctorate in the avant-garde formula of the day. In suc= h a condition anything genuinely avant-garde would be utterly dismissed, ma= rginalized to the point of invisibility. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I knew him not only as a wonderful poet, but as a great guy and an encouraging, supportive teacher. He was really very generous, and I'm left wishing I'd been able to give more to him in return and to have known him better. My thoughts are very much with his family and loved ones. This is really very sad news.

He did so much for me. The first poem of his that struck me was called "Possum's Creed" (one day he called to tell me he was singing "The Farmer In The Deli") He wore the badge of high art lighter than most (does that sound =20 pretentious---ugh). At times wickedly cynical. Glint eyes (try to hide your deep suffering by whatever means necessary). Often in a tandom. John Yau and he were running buddies, verbal sparring partners when I =20= first met him (circa 90?). Also, he and Clark Coolidge (when CC and I both lived =20 near Michael). Even when he was bed-ridden in the mid-90s, he was one of those guys who could really HOLD COURT as it were from his bed; Barbeio (sp?) and her =20= amazing art was around a lot then--he'd play Basement Tapes & a lot of James =20 Brown (he was into James Booker too). Going to see Dylan at Tanglewood with him and Clark Coolidge was a trip (Clark kept on saying, "he better not play that religious stuff." =20 Michael laughed at me mischeviously; he not-so-secretly was hoping Dylan would (more so to piss CC off probably---the lord works in mysterious way; just like a real Italian kid). & Shakespeare plays. Michael & Ashbery There's too much to say about Michael; and I know I've only scratched =20= the surface. I haven't made it back east for almost a decade; but we became =20 facebook friends in the last year. We wrote a few comments on each other's walls....

I've known Michael as both a friend and colleague for about 5 years. We lost touch in recent years. I'm deeply saddened by this news, and have felt all day that I should have done more to keep up with him. Michael always had the best edits, the best words: he certainly wasn't a bullshitter by any means. He told me always what I needed to hear, even if I didn't exactly know what that was. I consider him central to my development as one who thinks, writes, and views films (Mike introduced me to Antonioni, and to Russian Ark). I'm not expecting this feeling to pass quickly, and my heart and thoughts certainly go out to his friends and family. You will be missed, Mike. -Ryan Daley On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 5:58 PM, Michael Tod Edgerton < michael_tod_edgerton@yahoo.com> wrote: > It was such a shock to see this email.Michael was my professor and then > thesis > advisor at Brown.
