Also, go to the Busboy and Poets page, or look for Holly Bass on facebook. & another: The Library of Congress has an excellent noon poetry series, and one doesn't have to be a poet Laureate to read there. Hell, I've read there and have had friends who have read there. But overall, the Bridge Street Books bookstore reading is by far the best.

Submitting posts to the list does not guarantee that they will be published. -- Flame messages will not be tolerated on the Poetics List.

C O N T E N T S: 1. About the Poetics List 2. Posting to the List 3. Subscriptions 4. Subscription Options 5. To Unsubscribe 6. Cautions 7. Flaming -------------------------------------------- June 2008: Refocussed List Policy In line with our editorial focus, we do not automatically post submissions but select those we think are most useful for sustaining this online community. We appreciate all submissions, but will be more selective in what we choose to post. Queries for contact info, messages intended for just a few subscribers, messages that are not on topic, "flame" messages, and free-standing personal poems or journal entries will, in general, not be forwarded to the list. 1. Posting to the List Our aim is to support, inform, and extend those directions in poetry that are committed to innovations, renovations, and investigations of form and/or/as content, to the questioning of received forms and styles, and to the creation of the otherwise unimagined, untried, unexpected, improbable, and impossible. While we recognize that other lists may sponsor other possibilities for exchange, we request that those participating in this forum keep in mind the specialized and focused nature of this project and respect our decision to operate a moderated list. The Poetics List exists to support and encourage divergent points of view on innovative forms of modern and contemporary poetry and poetics, and we are committed to doing what is necessary to preserve this space for such dialog. The Poetics List is a moderated list. Posts are limited to list subscribers. All messages are reviewed by the editors in keeping with the goals of the list as articulated in this Welcome Message. The listserv is intended to be a productive communal space for discussion and announcements; as such, subscribers who do not follow listserv policy will be removed from the subscription roll. Please note that this list is primarily concerned with discussions of poetry and poetics. We strongly encourage subscribers to post information, including web links, relating to publications (print and internet), reading series, and blogs that they have coordinated, edited or published, or in which they appear. Such announcements constitute a core function of this list. Brief reviews of poetry events and publications (print or digital) are always welcome. The Poetics List is not a forum for a general discussion of poetry or for the exchange of poems. Queres for contact info, messages intended for just a few subscribers, "flame" messages, and free-standing personal poems or journal entries will, in general, not be forwarded to the list. Also, please note that the Poetics List is not a "chat" list and we discourage the posting of very short messages intended for only a few subscribers. Personal queries and off-topic submissions will not be posted. Send messages directly to the list address: poetics@listserv.buffalo.edu. 2. About the Poetics List Above the world-weary horizons New obstacles for exchange arise Or unfold, O ye postmasters! With the preceding epigraph, the Poetics Listserv was founded by Charles Bernstein in late 1993. Now in its fourth incarnation, the list has over 1500 subscribers worldwide. We also have a substantial number of nonsubscribing readers, who access the list through our web site (see archive URL above). Due to the high number of subscribers, we no longer maintain the open format with which the list began (at under 100 subscribers). Please also note that this is a not a general interest poetry list and information about this list should not be posted to directories of poetry lists. The idea is to keep the list membership to those with specific engagement related to the list's stated orientation. In addition to being archived through the EPC and at the UB Listerv archive, some posts to Poetics (especially reviews, obituary notices, announcements, etc.) may also become part of specific EPC subject areas. Note also that Roof Books published Joel Kuszai's edited collection of the Poetics List; this is available from ROOF and also online at the EPC. 3. Subscriptions *For all subscription requests go to http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/archives/poetics.html. *To subscribe for the first time click on "Subscribe (join) a List." Immediately following your subscription to the poetics listserv we ask that you email us at poetics.list --at -- gmail.com, subject-line "registration," with your full name, street address, email address, and telephone number. Failure to register at the time of subscription will result in automatic deletion from the subscription roll. *To manage your subscription (for descriptions of the different subscription options please see section 3), click on "Subscriber's Corner." Subscriptions to the Poetics List are free of charge, but formal registration is required. All other questions about subscriptions, whether about an individual subscription or subscription policy, should be addressed to this same administrative address. PLEASE NOTE: All subscription-related information and correspondence remains absolutely confidential. All posts to the list must provide your full real name, as registered. If there is any discrepancy between your full name as it appears in the "from" line of the message header, please sign your post at the bottom. Subscribers who do not include their full name with each post will be unsubscribed from the list. The most frequent problem with subscriptions is bounced messages. If your system is often down or if you have a low disk quota, Poetics messages may get bounced, which will result in your subscription being automatically terminated by the Listserv program and the automatically generated message telling you that this has occurred will also likely bounce. If this happens, you may re-subscribe to the list by the same process described above. One remedy to avoid this happening in the future: set your list options to "no-mail" and read the list on the web. 4. Subscription Options We encourage you to alter your subscription options via the link on the right side of the screen at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/archives/poetics.html. If you would prefer not to use the web-interface, you may also email the following commands: *to subscribe to the Poetics listserv send listserv@listserv.buffalo.edu this one-line message with no "subject": sub poetics [your Firstname and Lastname] *RECOMMENDED: if you wish to read the list on our web interface and not receive any messages sent directly, while remaining subscribed to the list and so eligible to send us posts, send this one-line message to with no "subject": set poetics nomail. Note: this option is also useful for temporary suspension of email service. *to reactivate Poetics e-mail send this one-line message with no "subject": set poetics mail * to receive the list in digest form (you will receive the day's individual posts in one email sent just after midnight EST), send this one-line message with no "subject": set poetics digest *to receive posts in the default option (you will receive individual postings immediately), send this one- line message with no "subject": set poetics nodigest * to receive the list in index form (you will receive a list, without the text of the posts, of the subjects discussed each day along with the author's name and address and the number of lines it comprises; you can also choose to have the index sent to you in either plain text or in HTML format with hyperlinks), send this one-line message with no "subject": set poetics nohtml index --or-- set poetics html index PLEASE NOTE: do not leave your Poetics subscription in default or digest mode if you are going to be away for any extended period of time. Your account may become flooded and you may lose Poetics messages as well as other important mail. In such cases, switch your subscription to "nomail" as recommended above. 5. To Unsubscribe To unsubscribe (or change any of your subscription options), again, we strongly encourage you to go to the right-hand side of the screen at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/archives/poetics.html You may also may unsubscribe by sending a one-line email to with no "subject": unsub poetics If you are having difficulty unsubscribing, please note: sometimes your e-mail address may be changed slightly by your system administrator. If this happens you will not be able to send messages to Poetics or to unsubscribe, although you will continue to receive mail from the Poetics List. To avoid this problem, unsub using your old address, then resubscribe with your new email address. 6. Cautions In moderating this list, the editors must consider sometimes competing interests. The basis for our decisions, however, rests with our collective judgment about the kind of space we want for the list. All posts not only go out to list subscribers but also become a public part of the list archive on the web. Note that posting to the list is a form of publication and that by sending your message to the list you formally consent to such web publication. Posts are currently being indexed by search engines such as Google. It is not possible for us to remove posts from the list archive or to control search engine indexing of these posts. For reasons of basic security, we do not allow pseudonymous subscriptions. All messages intended for the Poetics List should be sent in Text-Only format, without attachments. We do not accept HTML-formatted messages or attached files. As a general rule, keep individual posts to 1,000 words or less. Please do not publish list postings without the express permission of the author. Posting on the list is a form of publication. Copyright for all material posted on Poetics remains with the author; material from this list and its archive may not be reproduced without the author's permission, beyond the standard rights accorded by "fair use" of published materials. All material on the Poetics List remains the property of the authors; before you reproduce this material, in whole or in part, we ask that you get permission (by email is fine) from the authors. If they give permission, then we ask only that you say that the post or posts appeared originally on the Poetics List (http://epc.buffalo.edu/poetics/welcome.html) on [give date and say:] Used by permission of the author. Note: Private correspondence via email and letters are always =A9 the author and may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the written permission of the author. As a general rule, we will not publish posts that include such material unless they indicate that permission has been given. We request that posters limit the number of posts they send to the list on any given day. Given that our goal is a manageable list (manageable both for moderators and subscribers), the list accepts 75 or fewer messages per day, though these parameters may be changed at the discretion of the list moderator. Like all systems, the listserv will sometimes be down: if you feel your message has been delayed or lost, *please wait at least one day to see if it shows up*, then check the archive to be sure the message is not posted there; if you still feel there is a problem, you may wish to contact the editors at . 7. Flaming "Flame" messages will not be tolerated on the Poetics List. We define 'flaming' as any post that resembles a personal attack or personal insult to anyone--subscriber or not. This, of course, includes racist, sexist, or other slurs as well as ad hominem arguments in which the person rather than their work is attacked; in other words while critique of a person's work is welcome (critical inquiry is one of the main functions of the list), this critique cannot extend to a critique or criticism of the person. http://epc.buffalo.edu/poetics/welcome.html =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.

In a couple of weeks I will be putting up a 100 THOUSAND POETS FOR = CHANGE blog for this event where each local event will have its own = event page with event information, and poems, journals, photos, videos = from events around the world.=20 =20 Please read the info below and if you have any more questions please = feel free to contact me here at Big Bridge.=20 =20 =20 Thanks for join us! Best, Michael Rothenberg Big Bridge www.bigbridge.org =20 100 THOUSAND POETS FOR CHANGE =20 Time: Saturday, September 24 =B7 11:30am - 11:30pm Location:The event will takes place in many cities, at the same time and = date, outdoors, and of course it will be televised. =20 Created By Michael Rothenberg, Terri Carrion =20 Do you want to join other poets around the USA and across the planet in = a demonstration/ celebration of poetry to promote serious social and = political change? If so sign up here and let's see if enough people are = serious about an event like this. If enough people join this, then we = can work on specifics, times, dates, descriptions, coordinate and make = it real. This will be a good place to gather names and contacts for = regional organization. Please post comments and ideas.=20 =20 MORE ON 100 THOUSAND POETS for CHANGE: UPDATE, MARCH 27, 2011 =20 There is a lot of information developing on this event. If you read some = of the wall posts on the Facebook event pages you can stay current. But, = people do have two major questions. =20 1) What kind of a change are we talking about? 2) I want to organize in my area. How do we begin to organize? =20 "What kind of CHANGE are we thinking about?" =20 The first order of change is for poets, writers, artists, anybody, to = actually get together to create and perform, educate and demonstrate, = simultaneously, with other communities around the world. This will = change how we see our local community and the global community. We have = all become incredibly alienated in recent years. We hardly know our = neighbors down the street let alone our creative allies who live and = share our concerns in other countries. We need to feel this kind of = global solidarity. I think it will be empowering. =20 And of course there is the political/social change that many of us are = talking about these days. There is trouble in the world. Wars, ecocide, = the lack of affordable medical care, racism, the list goes on. =20 It appears that transformation towards a more sustainable world is a = major concern and could be a global guiding principle for this event. = Peace also seems to be a common cause. War is not sustainable. There is = an increasing sense that we need to move forward and stop moving = backwards. But I am trying not to be dogmatic. I am hoping that together = we can develop our ideas of the "change/transformation" we are looking = for as a group, and that each community group will decide their own = specific area of focus for change for their particular event. =20 "I want to organize in my area. How do we begin to organize?" =20 100 Thousand Poets for Change will organize "participants" by local = region, city, or state, and find individuals in each area who would like = to organize their local event. Just let me know if you want to be an = organizer by sending a message to me directly through Facebook, or to my = e-mail: walterblue@bigbridge.org. =20 If you are an organizer for your community this means that first you = will consider a location for the event and begin to contact people in = your area who want to participate in the event. Participation means = contacting the media, posting the event on the web, in calendars, = newspapers, etc., reading poems, performing in general, supplying = cupcakes and beer (it's up to you), demonstrating, putting up an = information table, inviting guest speakers, musicians, etc., organizing = an art exhibit, and documenting the event (this is important, too), and = cleaning up, of course. =20 Organizers and participants will create their own local event as an = expression of who they are locally. Do they want a candlelight vigil or = a circus, a march or a dance, do they want absolute silence, a group = meditation on a main street; it's up to the local organization. = However, groups should be sure to hold some part of the event, if not = all of it, outdoors, in public view. The point is to be seen and heard, = not just stay behind closed walls. It is also important that the event = be documented. Photos, videos, poems, journals, paintings! = Documentation is crucial. The rest of the 100 Thousand Poets for Change = want to hear what you have to say about change and enjoy your creativity = too! The documentation will be shared through a blog/website that I will = set up, a blog/website where groups can share and announce event = information, as well as post photos, videos, poetry, art, and thoughts. = But an event doesn't have to involve tons of people. It can be just you = (the organizer) and your pet, on a street corner, with a sign. Just let = me know what you are planning! Every effort counts! =20 Each local organization determines what it wants to focus on, something = broad like, peace, sustainability, justice, equality, or more specific = causes like Health Care, or Freedom of Speech, or local environmental or = social concerns that need attention in your particular area right now, = etc. Organizations will then come up with a mission statement/manifesto = that describes who they are and what they think and care about. When = the whole event has taken place all the mission statements can be = collected from around the world and, I hope, worked together into a = grand statement of 100 Thousand Poets for Change. =20 That's quick, off the top of my head, summary of where we are now with = 100 THOUSAND POETS FOR CHANGE. =20 Thank you for joining us! =20 Best, MR =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =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.

Those who want satire, those who want earnest discussion, those who want information, those who want to get a sense of personality, those who want theory, those who want entertainment, even those who wish to be confirmed in their beliefs and those who wish to nurse their resentments, will all find something here.”—Daisy Fried “I regret to inform you that Charles Bernstein’s Attack of the Difficult Poems is highly unsuitable (not suitable) for National Poetry Month. Not suitable for acceptance by the publications of the Modern Language Association or its affiliate, the Annual Convention. Not suitable for readers under the age of five. Not suitable for endorsement by the Paris Review. Not suitable for your average television sitcom. Not suitable for tenure. Not suitable for free distribution. Not suitable for variations in the ontological condition. Not suitable for readers of generic poetry. Not suitable for the MFA. For everyone else: priceless.”—Tan Lin Charles Bernstein is our postmodern jester of American poesy, equal parts surveyor of democratic vistas and scholar of avant-garde sensibilities. In a career spanning thirty-five years and forty books, he has provoked us with writing that is unafraid of the tensions between ordinary and poetic language, and between everyday life and its adversaries. Attack of the Difficult Poems, his latest collection of essays, gathers some of his most memorably irreverent work while addressing seriously and comprehensively the state of contemporary humanities, the teaching of unconventional forms, fresh approaches to translation, the history of language media, and the connections between poetry and visual art. Applying an array of essayistic styles, Attack of the Difficult Poems ardently engages with the promise of its title. Bernstein introduces his key theme of the difficulty of poems and defends, often in comedic ways, not just difficult poetry but poetry itself. Bernstein never loses his ingenious ability to argue or his consummate attention to detail. Along the way, he offers a wide-ranging critique of literature’s place in the academy, taking on the vexed role of innovation and approaching it from the perspective of both teacher and practitioner. From blues artists to Tin Pan Alley song lyricists to Second Wave modernist poets, The Attack of the Difficult Poems sounds both a battle cry and a lament for the task of the language maker and the fate of invention. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

For the second iteration, I also allowed eBooks, and THAT is something that can hold down student costs and lead to surprises.

You need to change your content management software for your website. You need something better than blogger. You may wish to go with Joomla, or a locally installed version of wordpress. Of course, to do that, you need your own site hosting and domain name, but that will only cost you about five bucks a month. Write me off-line, and I can point you in the right direction.

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Dear Buffalo Poetics Listees ... Cordite Poetry Review 35: Oz-Ko is a special issue showcasing new poetry from Australia and Korea. Check out the first stage of the issue here: http://www.cordite.org.au/content/poetry/ozko-envoy It's called 'Oz-Ko: Envoy' because it features twenty new poems by Australian poets and is intended to act as an envoy or advance party introducing what promises to be a vast issue filled with poetry in English and Hangul, features, articles, photo essays and other ephemera. Subsequent stages of the issue will appear online in May and June, with new features posted weekly between now and then, so I'd encourage you to check back every so often to see how Oz-Ko is unfolding. Oh, and a quick reminder: submissions are still open for our thirty-sixth issue, Electronic(a). Subs close at the end of April. More details here: http://www.cordite.org.au/submissions In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the poems we've posted so far ...

Thes= e are all moments of heat and passion, whether that is passion of belief, passion of music or passion of flesh, that are concentrated examples of how everyday experiences create who a person is, and, in turn, how a person creates themselves through those same events. =97*Matthew Porubsky*, author of *voyeur poems* That Kevin Rabas is a fierce new talent was already clear from his two previous books of poetry.

[Austen] (Charade - answer, a banknote.) [ But a different answer, away from capital, may be given altogether, "whole" replaced by the homonym "hole," "lie" curled in meaning, and "first" taken elsewhere; this is the application of local theory, an _ontology_ of capital replaced by the body, the body ultimately inaccessible. And then, what happens to capital? ] =================================================================== Abstract: My bad theory: If anything is basic it's lack. We scramble to suture the rest. We can't. We think we do. =================================================================== I pay no attention to theology; inerrancy or core belief is already dead in relation to its imperviousness. Think of god or spirit as token; as ulterior, in-evident, there is little to say about them, except of course for what might be enacted in their name. Theory is no longer at an impasse; theory - in the sense, in any sense, of speaking the world, is already lost. It's lost in technology, in the concrete, which it misplaces and misinterprets - how can one speak of codework without understanding code, speak of epistemology without access to, and understanding of, the very machines that extend, at least for the privileged, the real - whose very definition is characterized by withdrawal? The entanglement of theoretical subject and object is best served by quantum mechanics from below, now approaching the level of ordinary visibility. This is occasioned by recent readings into theory, where it is clear that the authors were circumlocuting a field they had little knowledge of - in this case, codework - but it's also occasioned by an increasing dissatis- faction with theory's applications beyond the social in general. It's too easy to slip from augmented reality or virtual worlds or virtual reality itself, to ontologies or epistemologies, with the receding dream of the fundamental guiding one astray. There are several levels involved, all crumbling, all entangled - the physical-real, the mathematics of the world (however world and mathesis are defined), the current technologies of the world (ditto), access to these technologies, theory and its techne - and melding or interoperability among all of these. It's theory that disappears in the mix - or the rest of us; increasingly, to understand the world has come to mean to understand technical vocabularies on all levels - from conceptual/theoretical astuteness to access to tools, which depends on the grace of institutions and individuals. In my own case, Patrick Lichty and Sandy Baldwin directed me towards mocap at their institutions; Frances van Scoy extended the invitation to 3-d scanners; Mark Skwarek guided me through the beginnings of mocap, and so forth. I walk in and out of labs with residencies that range (once) from half a year to (most often) 2-3 days. I walk into institutions, into institutional cultures; in this regard I'm luckier than most. But the access remains highly limited, and what's more important here, the resulting phenomenology is always bracketed. I suspect this is the case for most people; it's a matter of degree. All I can do - all _anyone_ can do - is write from the outside, from the external (within or without a phenomenology of externality), but, by grace of these invitations, I have learned, at the least, my limits. Theory on the other hand proceeds without limits; its contemporary over-reliance on the body, abjection, sexuality, and other issues is to some extent a withdrawal to a fictional core that remains inviolate: begin and end with the body of the theorist, and the details of codework for example will either be bypassed, introjected, or seen as irrelevant. None of this would matter, if theory didn't carry the weight it does; we've all read descriptions of our own work as if they're written in a foreign language, indecipherable with occasional partial legibilities that seem inherently wrong. Media (in the sense of writing-about, placing that writing, receiving and remediating that writing) does that to one, and there's little recourse at the other end. (On the other hand, our own descriptions, as cultural workers, often chart out vast philosophical terrain, as if materiality - and the bridging between abstract theory and materiality - made a difference. I'm guilty of that! In this enclaved essay I'm guilty of that!) When I give a talk now, I try to begin with issues of "the fragility of good things" (from catastrophe theory), extinctions, global slaughter coupled with populations exponentially increasing - and enclaving, a concept borrowed from Mike Davis, emphasizing the secure and violent walls placed around the wealthy, around global institutions and bodies, around governance in general. Theory itself is enclaved in this regard - as is the epistemology/ontology of the real (at variance with theory), dependent on Fermilab, the LHC, AR, holographic VR, etc. etc. - pick your level, your machine, your theorist. The levels aren't interoperable, nor are they well-defined. The result is brilliant production, with either micro-man- aged phenomenology, or phenomenology left in the dust. (Brian Greene's The Hidden Reality figures here for example.) It's characteristic of this short essay, that _I don't know what I'm talking about, nor can I_ - which is why the weaker the theory, the more functional. I keep thinking of the usual question, for example - Why is there something rather than nothing - and coming up with the exhaustive positioning of physical bootstrapping, the universe bringing itself, continuously, into existence, so that the Why - which implies both origins and causality - if it doesn't fade away, at least is in need of a coronary bypass. The solidity or projection of real or virtual objects stands ultimately in relation to physical theory; if holography plays a role in our appearing, how many codings occur to construct a virtual world? The bottom line, not the fundamental one, is the failure of regimes - of technology, theory, coding, phenomenology, physical and somatic realities - to interconnect, in combination with apparent flows of power among them. This power is split and sutured by human claims among humans that don't quite interconnect. I'm not talking about the old notion of two cultures, but about fragmentation everywhere, suturing within micro-domains (code, technology, augmented and diminished realities, theory, daily life). This is hard to grasp, when even this description falls apart, is rifted; how could it be otherwise? I'm not talking about the old notion of master narratives, but about a collocation of narratives, topologically-distinct but fuzzy and broken sememes. I'm not talking about a dearth of ontologies but about ontologies as local conventions, epistemologies always already under contestation. (Which is amazing and liberation; there are just the old Sartrean issues of scarcity economics in the midst of Bataille's surplus increasingly harbored from above.) And I'm talking about enclaving brought about by an exponential increase in knowledge, coupled by an exponential increase in wealth among a small and isolated class - both have utterly transformed the landscape, origin- ally one of privilege, network broadcast, and limited access - through a period of net neutrality, open sourcing knowledge (but not medical care, basic survival safety nets, life on the ground), and a distant horizon of universal open channels of information and communication - to one again of technological privilege, limited broadcast and access, local control. I can see the model changing from the imperial through the appearance of democracy, back through neoliberalism to an imperium in everything but name. Better managed this time, everything appears better and better advertised; it's just a kind blurriness in the details: WELCOME TO THE TELECOMS OF THE REAL. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Milwaukee Ave Chicago, Illinois Saturday, April 16 @ 1:30pm Roy Fisher Symposium - Talks & a Film at Morningstar 22 W. Washington, 7th Floor Chicago, Illinois Chicago Poetry Project is pleased to announce a short symposium on the work of British poet Roy Fisher. The event will feature short talks by August Kleinzahler, Maureen McLane, and Tom Pickard and will include a screening of Pickard's film about Fisher, "Birmingham Is What I Think With." The Friday evening prior to the symposium, the presenters will give a group reading of their own and Fisher's poetry. Born in 1930, Roy Fisher is a British poet of remarkable range. Stripped of ornament, skeptical in temperament, his poems find music in sharp angles, hesitations, and silences. They often move through post-industrial landscapes of Birmingham and the English Midlands, registering crepuscular half-tones, "the dog odour / of water," and "malted-milk brickwork." Beyond such literal subjects, Fisher captures the intermingling of fancy and perception, the play of light and shadow in the mind itself. As August Kleinzahler has suggested, "The eye darts about in Fisher's poetry. It abhors the object at rest, framing of any kind. It's like a camera, jerking and swiveling on an unstable tripod. Early and late, the poetry is about the eye in motion. The shifts may be subtle or vertiginously abrupt. It's best not to get too comfortable as you progress through a poem because you're not going to be where you think you are for long." His restless and exploratory poetry has long been admired in the United Kingdom, and by a select few readers in the United States. His Selected Poems, edited by Kleinzahler and designed to introduce his work to an American audience, has just been published by Flood Editions. The symposium is free and open to the public but *REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT*. Simply send an e-mail to john.tipton64@gmail.com with your first and last name so we can put you on the access list, and bring photo ID to the event. This is a building security requirement.

Durgin" Subject: Ambient Parking Lot, by Pamela Lu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Kenning Editions proudly announces the publication of the long-awaited second novel by *Pamela Lu*, *AMBIENT PARKING LOT. * Part fiction, part earnest mockumentary, /Ambient Parking Lot/ follows a band of musicians as they wander the parking structures of urban downtown and greater suburbia in quest of the ultimate ambient noise, one that promises to embody their historical moment and deliver them up to the heights of their self-important artistry. Along the way, they make sporadic forays into lyric while contending with doubts, delusions, miscalculations, mutinies, and minor triumphs. This saga peers into the wreckage of a post 9/11 landscape and embraces the comedy and poignancy of failed utopia. $14.95 from Small Press Distribution , or enjoy a discount by subscribing to Kenning Editions.

She lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. On Pamela Lu's previous novel---"Pamela: A Novel is one of the finest books to emerge from the ardent, experimental writing scene in the Bay Area . . . Lu builds a social space and founds a society."---/The Stranger/ "Reading the word 'I' in this novel becomes a mystical experience---an invitation to connect to the 'I' in all of us . . . This is a work of 'precision,' as Robert Musil would say, 'in matters of the soul.' It extends the novel's capacity to think."---/Rain Taxi Review of Books/ "Lu, in her debut, . . . [creates] a precise and humorous elegy to the self, and to its self-subversions . . . This is a book of extraordinary philosophical subtlety and clarity, one that manages to tell a beautiful story in spite of itself."---/Publishers Weekly/ ISBN: 9780976736431 binding: PAPERBACK 200pp. [Subscribers and pre-orders, your book is in the mail already!] www.kenningeditions.com www.spdbooks.org ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Solo exhibitions of "axial stones" and "axial drawings" include the Baumgartner Gallery in New York (Chelsea), the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, and at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz. His lecture will present a theory of "principle" in art, poetry, music, thinking, and consciousness, and in particular the "axial principle," where "principle" is in contrast (and yet complementary) to "conceptual" art. His recent books are: /Verbal Paradise/ /(preverbs)/ (as the first of a 6 volume work of "preverbs") (Zasterle Press, 2011); /An Art of Limina: Gary Hill's Works and Writings/, with Charles Stein, Foreword by Lynne Cooke (Poligrafa: Barcelona, 2010); /Axial Stones: An Art of Precarious Balance/ (North Atlantic Books: 2006). Quasha other books include poetry (/Somapoetics/, /Giving the Lily Back Her Hands/, /Ainu Dreams/ [with Chie Hasegawa]); anthologies (/America a Prophecy/ [with Jerome Rothenberg], /Open Poetry/ [with Ronald Gross], /An Active Anthology/ [with Susan Quasha], /The Station Hill Blanchot Reader/ [with Charles Stein]); and writing on art (/Gary Hill: Language Willing/; with Charles Stein: /Tall Ships, HanD HearD/liminal objects/, /Viewer/. Quasha's awards include a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in poetry and a Guggenheim Fellowship in video art in 2006. He has taught at Stony Brook University (SUNY), Bard College, New School University (Graduate Anthropology Department), and Naropa University. He is also the founder/publisher of Station Hill Press of Barrytown (New York) with Susan Quasha. Free and open to the public.

Paul taught in the McGhee Division of NYU for more years than I can say. He was there long before I became coordinator of the program. He was a delight to work with. His crinkled up smile could make your day. His impact on students was enormous. His poetry is alive and well. I think his family --probably at his request -- has been private about details. But the idea is to send this blog to them as a testament to the love and respect so many people felt -- and feel -- for him.

LUIS HUMBERTO VALADEZ is a poet/musician/performer from Chicago Heights, IL. His work is heavily influenced by an ilk of artists including Harryette Mullen, Amiria Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, and Anne Waldman as well as the economically depressed Chicago southern suburb he grew up in, and his mother, who constantly implored him to "get out of the Heights." These influences figure heavily into his first collection of poetry "what i'm on," published by the University of Arizona Press. He went to school at Columbia College Chicago and the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University. He also teaches and works as an AmeriCorps VISTA Supervisor for Chicago HOPES, an after-school tutoring and arts initiative for children living in Chicago homeless shelters ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

On his way to developing a unique poetic, Hadbawnik kept writing it down; these twelve years of *fl=E2neur*ing perfor= m a voyage of their own, a powerful and mysterious walk towards unknowing. =97= Kevin Killian The notebooks of Kafka and the late meditations of Wittgenstein echo deep inside David Hadbawnik=92s marvelous *Field Work*, whose investigations collect into something like a scrolling *wunderkammer* of anecdotal revelation. Or into a tour-de-force *ostranenie* of the quotidian, one migh= t say... Which is to say, and more plainly, I suppose, that in these quasi-aphoristic sallies, daily moments are never quite what they first seem, always infolding much more than what we all almost always assume them to hold. So Hadbawnik looks carefully and insistently. And he does so again and again. And the mundane unfolds its mysteries. =93One minute in the life= of the world is going by. Paint it as it is,=94 said Cezanne. That is the writer=92s ethic here, and the result is nothing less than a strange, seria= l, and many-chambered gift.

And this proverbe may (as I feare) be we= l verefied in me which take in hand the imprinting of this poeticall Poesie. For the case seemeth doubtful, and I will disclose my conjecture. Master C. B. (in a separate missive) hath cunningly dischaged himselfe of any responsibilitie for this texte, as the graver sort of greyhaired judgers mighte (perhaps) conceive in the publication of these pleasant Pamphlets. And beside that, a message from K. G. (with whome as seemeth, the original copie hereof was passed from one to th=92other), doth with no lesse clerkly cunning seeke to perswade the printer, that he (also) had no hande in its making; and bothe gentlemen woulde by no meanes have it published. I am not privie, forsooth, to any declaratione at this date from K.S.M., nor from V.P., nor K.J., these most notorious persons, too, assumed in some quarters as the Authores. This in despyte of what the venerable C.D. hath recently informed us, namely, =93=92Tis come a time when affixing one=92s signature = to an alien text be in no wise remarkable, and we fain arrive at the next frontie= r of proprietie, when the institutions of poetry shall be agonized by *script= ores conceptiones* signing for others under texts the which themselves have not written.=94 Now I feare very muche (all these words notwithstanding) that t= he aforementioned C.B. and K.G. were of one assent compact to have it imprinted: And yet, finding by experience that nothing is so wel handled no= w adayes, but that some malicious minds may either take occasion to mislike i= t themselves, or else finde meanes to make it odious unto others: They have therefore (each of them) politiquely prevented the daunger of misreport, an= d suffered me the poore Printer to runne away with the palme of so perillous = a victorie. Notwithstanding, having wel perused the worke, I find nothing therein amisse (to my judgemente) unlesse it be two or three wanton places passed over in the discourse of a dubious enterprise: The which for as much as the words are cleanly (although the thing ment be somewhat satiricall) I have thought good also to let them passe as they came to me, and the rather bicause (as master C. B. hath well alleged in his letter) the well minded reader may reape some commoditie out of the most frivolous works that are written. And as the venomous spider will sucke poison out of the most holesome herbe, and the industrious Bee can gather hony out of the most stinking weede: Even so the discrete reader may take a happie example by th= e most vicious verses, although the captious and harebrained heads can neithe= r be encoraged by the good, nor forewarned by the bad. To conclude, the worke of the most mysterious Rejection Groupe is so universall, as either in one place or other, any mans mind may therewith be satisfied. The which I adventure (under pretext of this promise) to present unto all indifferent eyes as followeth.

Sliding away from the =93continuities=94 of foreclosed presents and enfolded pasts, Jesse Sel= dess=92 *Left Having* might be read as a *non*-subtractive exploration of the virtual remainders of such narrations (of historical trauma, of the time of events, of a person now present in a city or a room=85). Seldess resituates= us =93Beyond the scattered signaling=94 of history =96 in pulse rates that flo= w through and across their own fractures and stalls =96 so we can *hear* the =93Distance just now reaching us*.*=94 These signalings (with gracefully decaying half tones in them) evoke both the familiarity and strangeness of durational life. As in the epigraph to the book taken from Alvin Lucier=92s famous work (in which he records his own =93disfluent=94 speech, playing it= back into the room and re-recording it repeatedly), what can finally be heard in Seldess=92 writing are the resonant frequencies of the architecture itself. That architecture=92s =93End=94 (of which Seldess has also produced a video= with artist Leonie Weber) is always ending but never done, because it turns back into itself (through us) toward something=85else.=96Laura Elrick One sees lines coming into being going out of existence. Taken that way, the words turning toward lines, seeing them become one another as they differ among themselves and dissipate into words and as spaces, this reader virtually floats and within this active resting state practices an incredible intimacy with the unknown in communication and in sharing an imminent sensate awareness with its language. Jesse Seldess=92s work perfo= rms this book, honoring and taking full advantage of its occasion to replace an= y knowing with the certainty of a relentlessly generous nature. I will never get to the bottom of it, and this work demonstrates what a pleasure and wha= t an honest reckoning that can be.=96Steve Benson *Left Having* is a virtuoso performance of contending forces: subject and object, I and you, the will behind utterance and the will of utterance itself. In these deftly musical poems, language (object) turns into subject= , always escaping the speaker=92s will. Seldess takes us on a highly pleasura= ble journey into the materiality of semes, but behind the pleasure lies an urgency: how a hair=92s-breadth difference between two words can translate = to chasms of difference in meaning. What if the word were *liable*, what if it were *reliable*? The slipperiness of the signifier in Seldess=92s inquiry i= nto the conditional questions the very routes that events take to unfold. The brilliant final section is an investigation into the intersection of deixis and time, the certainty implied by pointing thwarted constantly by the dela= y in finding the word=97the act of writing=92s inherent deixis questioned, challenged. In *Left Having*, Jesse Seldess has given us a magnificent meditation on utterance itself.=96Donna Stonecipher $14.95 from Small Press Distribution, or enjoy a discount by subscribing to Kenning Editions.

Along the way, they make sporadic forays into lyric while contending with doubts, delusions, miscalculations, mutinies, and minor triumphs. This saga peers into the wreckage of a post 9/11 landscape and embraces the comedy and poignancy of failed utopia. $14.95 from Small Press Distribution, or enjoy a discount by subscribing to Kenning Editions.

Thanks, Burt Hello writer friends, With another writer, I am trying to organize a panel for the Associated Wri= ting Programs (AWP) conference next winter in Chicago and I'm wondering if = you might know anyone who would be interested in joining us. The panel would be made up of writers using actual letters to inspire crea= tive projects--fiction, memoir, non-fiction, poetry, or something else. Si= nce I have several fiction and non-fiction writers, I would like to add a p= oet. We are looking for writers with some publishing track record, but the lette= rs project could be in progress. My own work uses World War II letters and letters from the 50s and 60s for = a memoir/reported non-fiction project having to do, in part, with women in = war work. My co-organizer is drawing upon letters written by members of t= he French Resistance to inspire a short story collection. Others we are co= nsidering are using letters from the 1960s.

Here's some information about the final performance for a clas= s I teach at NYU's Interactive Telecommunication Program. Thought it might be of interest to readers of the list. -a --- *Hello Word!* An evening of poetry, performance, and experimental text design from NYU/ITP=92s Reading and Writing Electronic Text Friday, May 6th 2011 7pm 721 Broadway, New York, NY Ground floor (Common room) FREE Over the course of Spring semester, sixteen NYU students have engaged in intense electro-textual experiments: composing, mangling, generating and remixing electronic text using the Python programming language. For one night only, these students will gather to present and perform their experiments to the general public. Some examples of projects that may make an appearance at the event: movie dialogue remixed in real time; dynamic newspaper blackout poetry; an endles= s exquisite corpse from Twitter search results; infinite generative creation myths; and much more. Reading and Writing Electronic Text is a course offered at NYU=92s Interactive Telecommunication Program. (http://itp.nyu.edu/itp/).

It's called The Club: http://vispo.com/dbcinema/theclub3 The club consists of * Ronald Reagan * Brian Mulroney * Conrad Black * Patrick Bateman * Jeffrey Dahmer * Paul Wolfowitz * Dick Cheney * Donald Rumsfeld * George W. Bush * Andrew Fastow * Jeffrey Skilling * Bernard Ebbers * Dennis Kozlowski * Joseph Nacchhio * Bernie Madoff * Stephen Harper * Russell Williams In The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, "The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging" (Wikipedia). And the changes are cumulative, more or less, over different, successive paintings. But the transformations of The Club are sometimes not so much "disfigurement of form" as one fiend randomly yet eventually worsting the previous (visually/semiotically), taking possession of attention and recognition, inhabiting the face and growing his own overtop. What's happening is that two distinct 'brushes' are at work. Each brush has its own image source (local or net-based). Each brush paints in the shape of a circle those are the 'brush strokes'. The circles are of low and slightly variable opacity. The gradient of the mask is radial. So we get inside areas that are empty but surrounded by paint. So the detail of the transformation can be quite subtle. Each brush uses an image for 4 seconds. Then it uses the next image in a set of about 57 images. The other brush is using a subset of this set of pictures, but also starting perhaps at a different point. So the combinatorial oomph is fairly high. The moral character is multiple, as is the psychopath, the politician, and the CEO. The men in The Club either have a sense of entitlement that is simply criminal, which covers most of the CEO tycoons and politicians, or they are under compulsions as ravening beasts, such as (Ex-Colonel) Russell Williams, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Patrick Bateman of American Psycho--which was directed by Canadian Mary Harron. Or perhaps both or neither (both as in all too conveniently supreme sense of entitlement or feeding ravenously, violently, sexually), something else--there is some variety, here. Cowboy capitalism of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. In American Psycho, Patrick Bateman is with the boys at the bar and sees Ronald Reagan on television. Bateman--the necessarily compulsive liar--is in awe of Reagan. "How can he lie like that?" Bateman asks himself, seeing Reagan as beyond Bateman's own murderous reportoire, range and capacity as a purveyor of steaming, dangerous mendacities. Reagan and Reaganonics played a big part in the economic collapse the USA had been heading toward at least since Ronald Reagan. Deregulation--for the betterment of business men--or so it was thought--and privatization left a situation where government no longer funded enough investigators or, as importantly, as many of the interfacial services between records and financial activity. Much less data to work with when the services are being provided privately. They could almost think they were entitled to the benefits of what they felt could not be detected, to the nearly invisible paper trails. Vanish in a fog of numbers. One of the politicans, Brian Mulroney, a previous Canadian Prime Minister, has been embroiled for years in a scandal involving his essentially taking payoffs from a German bussinessman. Mulroney was Reagan's boy. The criminal CEO's in The Club were, in a sense, the fallout of Reaganomics. Patrick Bateman is in awe of Reagan's ability to set up the rules to benefit the rich and to control the massive scale of lies that he spins his people and the world. The politicians in The Club are Ronald Reagan, Brian Mulroney, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, and Stephen Harper. Their dismantling of so many parts of government and payoffs to their friends, incentives to the rich and diddly squat for the poor portend or continue a battle in North America for anything even somewhat pleasantly resembling democracy. (Ex colonel) Russell Williams ran the largest military airport in Canada in Canada's armed forces. He was, by all reports, an excellent commander. But he was convicted of first degree murder in the brutal sex slayings of two young women, and photographed himself in the womens' underwear he stole from the houses around his neighbourhood in what looks like over a hundred panty raids. He had so many boxes of undies that he had to burn some of them but still had many boxes left. His connection with the politicians is that he was in a leadership position. And flew the Queen's plane, yadayada. He walked in the corridors of power. And fit in undetectably well. The Club attempts to synthesize the concerns of my favorite politicians, bussiness men, and serial killers, and to synthesize them, they themselves, with one another in a streaming of two brushes painting different faces simultaneously. Militarism and war is a part of the ideological millieu of The Club. The Bush administration supported the idea of war against Iraq via disinformation concerning weapons of mass destruction. Cheney, Wolfowitz and Bush stuck Colin Powell with the task of presenting and defending this disinformation before the U.N. Powell trusted the veracity of the intelligence. He didn't understand they were setting him up in the big lie. They simply needed the world to get out of their way in their ideological committment to regime change in Iraq regardless of international cooperation. The Bush administration did terrible things to the rule of international law around the world. The idea being that the USA governs alone and supreme, when it wants to. This disdain for international law by the national entity mirrors the disdain of the criminal for law in civil society. At the extreme end is the psychopath who proceeds mercilessly to dominate, punish, torture, humiliate and destroy those whom it is convenient and pleasant to persecute for fun and profit. When two nations are at war, that's basically how one group treats the other. This is the link between the politicians in The Club and the psychopaths. The Club is not only about these individuals but the mentalities they share that are at play in the broader cultures of the USA and Canada. ja http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I'm self-publishing this under no auspice or press and raising funds as well to press about 300-400 copies which I'll send to all my backers and people I meet along the way at readings, events and conferences. I hope you'll help out with the cause, and forward this to your friends and colleagues. It's a bit selfish to be giving away MY work--why not the work of another? And in the spirit of homage (and appropriation) each poem will be composed of lines by numerous poets, dead and alive, with the poet's name appearing in the acrostic. The impetus? A reading through/of these works, and a display of reading made evident. Here's the link.

The idea for the skools began last summer when a gro= up of poets met in Berkeley, California as part of the 95 Cent Skool.

We take this term from t= he "Black Mountain" poet Edward Dorn & our name from the second generation = modernist poets associated with The Objectivist Press. Although writers ass= ociated with the Objectivists and Black Mountain "schools" (Bunting, Creele= y, H.D., Niedecker, Pound, Reznikoff, Williams, Zukofsky to name only those= we've already studied) are prominent stars in our constellation, our objec= tive is not to reproduce any particular style, mode or tradition, but inste= ad to draw on many different ways of doing and making in order to isolate t= hose practices of writing & publishing & above all those poetic effects whi= ch lead us out of the neoliberal present & the future it imagines. The Next Objectivists Poetry Workshop was founded in January 2009. Member= s make the curriculum as we go along. Our meetings are potlucks and beginne= rs are always welcome. We read, discuss & write poetry together.
