Http://ibbetsonpress.com http://samcornish.com Boston Poet Laureate Sam Cornish: The Interview By Doug Holder When I lived in Brighton ( a section of Boston) in the 1980=E2=80=99s I u= sed to see poet Sam Cornish walking down Commonwealth Avenue. With his thick glasses= , powerful stride, and intense stare, I thought to myself this cat means business. I never approached him, but I knew of his reputation as part of= the =E2=80=9CBoston Underground=E2=80=9D school of poets, and knew he tau= ght at Emerson College. It wasn=E2=80=99t until he was appointed to the position of Bost= on Poet Laureate did I actually meet him, and now our paths have crossed more tha= n a few times. Cornish, 73, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and for a long t= ime commuted between his native city and Boston. He was a poor kid, raised by= his mother and grandmother after his father died. He was influenced by th= e small press movement in poetry, as well as the Black Arts Movement, but basically he has been viewed as poet who is hard to classify. His poetry deals with slavery, civil rights, as well as pop culture: from Louie Armstrong to Frank Sinatra. His poetry is usually stripped down and poten= t. Cornish=E2=80=99s breakthrough book of poetry was =E2=80=9CGenerations=E2= =80=9D published in 1971. The book is organized into five sections: Generations, Slaves, Family, Malcolm, and others. He combined his own family with figures from African-American history. Cornish received a National Endowment for the A= rts Award in 1967 and 1969, he was the literature director at the Mass. Counc= il of the Arts, and owned a bookstore in Brookline, Mass for a number of yea= rs. He has a number of poetry collections under his belt, the most recent: =E2= =80=9CAn Apron Full of Beans=E2=80=9D (CavanKerry). I talked with Cornish on my So= merville Cable Access TV Show: =E2=80=9CPoet to Poet: Writer to Writer=E2=80=9D Doug Holder: Sam, you told me that you did not consider yourself to be pa= rt of the Black Arts Movement in the 60's and 70's. Yet I have read in a few= places that people consider you an "unappreciated" figure of the movement= . How would you define yourself? Sam Cornish: What might distinguish me from poets of this generation in t= he movement, folks like: Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni, etc... , was that I = was influenced by a number of writers and sources that may not have been part= of the influence and education in the Black Arts Movement. Some of the poets= in the movement came from a conventional negro background. The negro middle class: doctors, lawyers, teachers. I came from a poor family, raised by m= y mother and grandmother. My mother was forced to go on welfare when she co= uld no longer work. I went to a neighborhood school and frequented the public= library. I bought books and as a result became interested in poetry. The poets tha= t moved me were T.S. Eliot, Langston Hughes, prose writers like James T. Farrell and Richard Wright. As an adolescent I loved Farrell's character = , Studs Lonigan. I could identify with him and I was motivated to find othe= r books that I could identify with. I read books by George Simeon, the grea= t French writer of psychological murder mysteries, for instance. DH: Who published many of the writers of the Black Arts Movement? SC: The Broadside Press. It was a small press that was based in Chicago. = It was started by a man named Dudley Randall. They were publishing young bla= ck writers who were very militant and defined themselves as being "Black" rather than "Negro." There was a very strong political stance to them. DH: Didn't you have a strong political slant to your work? SC: If I did it was politics that grew out of the 1930's. That was a mixt= ure of left-leaning, the communist and the socialist. DH: This was in contrast to the militancy of the 60's? SC: Yes. Because a lot of that was directed at whites generally. It was confrontational or abrasive. You were now BLACK and different from previo= us generations. You had no patience with your forefathers, your parents, tho= se who were living as NEGROES. It was a very angry and self-destructive ideology. People like James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, and Robert Hayden w= ere viewed as not being pro-black. DH: Your poetry seems to be stripped down rather than weighted with ornat= e flourishes. SC: For me it is a choice of language. How do you describe something? How= do you create a poem? How do you communicate? I would say that it is the influence of the hard world or the naturalistic writer, where you use the= language that's employed in common speech. At the same time you recognize= the lyric possibilities in this language. I have had my days when I had tons of words on the page. I realized thoug= h that it was necessary to use fewer words. DH: You told me that a poet should reveal something about himself in a po= em? SC: I'm back and forth about that. There are poems where you can't find t= he poet. There are novels where you can't find the writer. I just feel very strongly that it is important to present yourself as honestly as you possibly can. Hold yourself up as a mirror people can see their selves an= d vice a versa. Poetry does provide an opportunity for people to hide themselves behind t= he language. They use the poem as a form of escape. And that's OK as a form = of entertainment. DH: You have talked about the photographer Walker Evans, who used to hide= a camera under his coat, and snapped pictures of people that truly captured= the moment, on the New York subway for instance. Should a poet be Walker Evans-like? SC: For me perhaps. But maybe not for others. I like the idea of interact= ing with people--different kinds of people. DH: So you must have been an admirer of the late Studs Terkel? SC: Very much so. He transcended the genre. DH: Your breakthrough poetry collection was "Generations" published in 19= 71. How was it a breakthrough? SC: It might have been a breakthrough because the number of black writers= being published at that time were few.The Beacon Press of Boston publishe= d it. As a black writer there may have been anger in the book. It was not a= n anger directed at White America. It attempted to describe living in an America that is black and white, and all the other things that go with it= . The book is arranged like most of my books are: from past to present. It begins with a slave funeral and it ends with a sense of Apocalypse. The history comes from things I heard from home, and things I picked up from = the neighborhoods, not to mention popular culture. DH: We have discussed Alfred Kazin's memoir A Walker in the City. Kazin w= as inspired by pounding the pavement on the teeming streets of NYC. How abou= t you in Boston? SC: I used to walk with a pocket camera, and took pictures as I walked. I= would also walk with a notebook. I would describe things I would see, and= imagined them as little scenarios. That was an important part of my day. DH: I get the impression that you are the consummate urban man. Could you= survive in the country? SC: If I did live in the country I would like the freedom to move back an= d forth. I like to be near theatres, bookstores and cinemas. DH: You had your own small press: the Bean Bag Press. You hung with small= press legends like Hugh Fox, and co- edited the anthology: "The Living Underground: An Anthology of Contemporary American Poetry" ( Ghost Dance Press: 1969) with him. What is vital about the small press in the literar= y milieu? SC: Publication. The major presses publish very few books of poetry. They= also have a fixed standard as to what they select. So you often get the s= ame voices. The small press allows us to have a variety of voices. It allows = us to be challenged, upset, disturbed and sometimes angered by what we read.= The major press' books are pleasant and fun to read. But they are not disturbing. They are basically not truthful. The small press has novelty,= surprise, can be violent, and sometimes it can be damn good poetry. DH: What are your goals in your position of Boston Poet Laureate? SC: Right now I am available for people through the library and also thro= ugh Mayor Menino's office.

I'm currently offering, to anyone interested, evaluation, editing and otherwise help with shaping a poetry manuscript for potential publication. I'd be thinking a series of back-and-forths, including notes, questions and revisions. $200 for a manuscript up to 100 pages, or $250 for up to 150 pages. If you are interested, send me an email at rob_mclennan@hotmail.com. It has been a while since I've run poetry workshops at Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeebar, but I've run nearly a dozen poetry workshops at the store over the past decade, and run other workshops and manuscript evaluations through my Writer-in-Residence position at the University of Alberta (2007-8), through Encounters with Canada, and as part of the (late, lamented) Ottawa Valley Book Festival, as well as editing numerous books over the years for Broken Jaw Press, Vehicule Press, Insomniac Press and Black Moss Press, and my own Chaudiere Books and above/ground press. There's always a possibility that I might offer another poetry workshop.

And you can help! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=224305094268346 You basically have three options. Help, help more, or ignore this completely (we might be crazy, but we're also realistic). Check the Facebook event page for complete details. Or just order your copy of Versal 9 here: http://www.wordsinhere.com/orderversal.html Because funding for the literary arts is dying all over the place, so we have to find ways to support ourselves. Because we have a fantastic thing you can buy that will fund us fantastically. Because we're in love with Versal and we want to share that love. Because 55 writers, poets, artists and everything put something truly great in Versal 9's pages. Please share this, tweet this, etc. this and help us reach our goal. 100 sales of Versal 9 equals half our printing bill!

Comments: To: Wryting-L MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The new ebook from Argotist Ebooks is "Inshore Seeds" by William Allegrezza. Description: "Inshore Seeds" by William Allegrezza is split into four sections. The first section explores the intersection of language, meaning, identity, politics, and inconsistency, and the second reveals poetry as news articles without the news. The third section takes on the prose poem, and the fourth section plays with the dual image of kern from typography and military history, as if poetry is called to both.

He is =20= an M.F.A. candidate at The Pratt Institute. **Rachel Aydt http://www.newyorklostandfound.blogspot.com/ http://www.wordcitystudio.com/ Rachel Aydt is a writer and assistant professor at The New School =20 University, where she teaches magazine journalism. She=92s worked on =20 staff at magazines for nearly two decades, including American =20 Heritage, Cosmopolitan, and CosmoGirl. Now she works from home (or =20 from any cafe that has electrical sockets and bottomless cups of =20 coffee), and she=92s a regular contributor of essays and features to The = =20 New York Times' Motherlode blog, Parents magazine, Time International, =20= and Inked. She blogs at New York Lost and Found with a large focus on =20= New York City, the arts, travel, and parenting. She=92s a cofounder of a = =20 developing creativity blog called Word City Studio, which uses New =20 York City as a backdrop. =95 When I was 18 years old I was reading poetry at an open mic night at =20 the QE2 on Central Avenue in Albany. That year, I was getting my B.A. =20= from SUNY Albany, but what I was mostly doing was swinging 300 =20 burritos on a busy night at El Loco Mexican Cafe. Or hanging out at =20 Justin's on a flush night; Palais Royale on not such a flush night. =20 Come to think of it, this seems like a time when drinks were rarely =20 bought; they were just doled out and fueling general mayhem up and =20 down Lark Street. In the audience at the QE2 were two stand-up young men named Rod =20 Sperry and David Kirschenbaum. They liked my poetry a lot, they said. =20= They were starting a press=97what would become Boog Literature=97and = they =20 wanted to publish a chapbook of my work. I wanted to date Rod, and so =20= I said yes. That=92s not why I said yes, but the synergy of the xeroxing = =20 of stapled chapbook days certainly helped to fuel a crush, and David =20 and Rod have remained stalwart friends and supporters for the last 20-=20= plus years. My chapbook was titled A Canopy Sack of Details. I write =20 mainly nonfiction narratives now. I'd love to believe that not-so-=20 buried in each of these are bits of poetry emerging; it=92s a calling =20= that seems to transform and reemerge at the most unexpected times and =20= for the strangest reasons. **Sean Cole http://www.shampoopoetry.com/shampoothirtyeight/cole.htm Sean Cole is a public radio reporter and poet living in New York, =20 hailing from Boston, and formerly of Toronto. He's proud to be a long-=20= standing member of the Boog family, beginning with his first chapbook, =20= "By the Author," which came out so long ago he's forgotten the year. =95 Who is this bouyant, Ted-Berrigan-sized, yarmulked guy at Aaron =20 Kiely=92s Boston Alternative Poetry Conference in 1998? I mean the one =20= behaving (maybe overly so?) as though anything=92s possible. I mean the =20= guy who sat on the publishing panel, with a bone folder and long-armed =20= stapler, assembling chapbooks before our eyes=97chapbooks for which he=92d= =20 gathered the poems one day prior. When you meet someone who will be =20 your friend and collaborator for life, there=92s a hair of a second when = =20 you know it. You don=92t know, necessarily, he=92ll be the first person = to =20 mass-produce your poems. Nor that he=92ll one day send you 31 self-=20 addressed stamped postcards and demand a month of daily poems because =20= he thinks you=92re not writing enough (because you aren=92t). Nor that = you =20 will fight, for days, about whether it=92s unseemly to name a Boog =20 Literature volume Erections. I mean when you first lay eyes on him, =20 you don=92t even know his name. But there=92s an instant when, =20 inexplicably, you=92re already grateful for his unaccountable belief in =20= you, for his tirelessly shepherding so many nutso poets into print, =20 for driving around New York delivering hundreds of free Boog City =20 issues to bars and caf=E9s. There=92s just a moment when you flash on =20= that. And then it passes. And he sticks out his hand and says, =93Hi! =20= I=92m David Kirschenbaum.=94 **Crabs on Banjo http://www.myspace.com/crabsonbanjo Crabs on Banjo is an experimental, improvisational musical act =20 combining audience-inspired titles with the wit and melodic force of =20 Ben Krieger and Brian Speaker. Rarely will you find a more potent =20 combination of class and crass. **Crazy and the Brains http://www.myspace.com/crazyandthebrains Punk Rock meets the Stone Age, Crazy and the Brains will have you =20 singing, dancing, and fist pumping to catchy grooves and fun lyrics. =20 They really do just =93Wanna Be On Saturday Night Live,=94 and with = great =20 hooks, it wouldn=92t surprise me if they eventually were. Downstroke =20 guitars and xylophone makes them sound like The Ramones meet The =20 Violent Femmes. =95 The self-described =93newest band in NYC=94 is a modern-day Ramones, = with =20 lyrics so dumb they have to be smart (or so one hopes). "I don't want =20= to do anything I don't like. I just wanna be on Saturday Night Live,=94 =20= they artlessly state on a track from their self-titled EP, with no =20 evident irony and more energy than any amount of Ritalin could =20 control. You can see the live video at Youtube, along with loads of =20 other clips that showcase their sound. The band's not-so-secret weapon is Jeff Rubin, the nominal Brains of =20 the outfit, who serves as lead xylophone player and a contrasting =20 voice of sanity. It=92s his excellent and unexpected chops with mallets =20= that form the backbone over which Crazy Chris Urban=92s absurd stories =20= get sung. Having released two EPs in association with Crafty Records, the core =20 duo has expanded into a full band with a punk rock rhythm section. =20 Whatever arrangements Crazy and the Brains provide, it=92s the original =20= duo that garners the lion=92s share of attention=97and rightfully. It's =20= the combination of Urban's understated madness and Rubin's virtuosic =20 skill that fills the seats. Brian Speaker, The New York Antifolk =20 Festival=92s musical curator, simply states that =93Crazy and the Brains = =20 kick ass!=94 Primitive and impossibly danceable, Crazy and the Brains are best =20 taken late at night, with little planning and a fair amount of =20 alcohol. =97Jonathan Berger **Dan Fishback http://www.danfishback.com/ Dan Fishback has been writing and performing in New York City since =20 2003, in the anti-folk and experimental performance scenes. His plays =20= and performances have been staged at venues like P.S. 122, Dixon =20 Place, Joe=92s Pub, and BAX, among others. His band Cheese On Bread has =20= toured Europe and North America, and has released records in the =20 United States and Japan. As a solo artist, Fishback has released =20 several recordings, including Sweet Chastity and Calendar Boys, with =20 Mammal forthcoming.

His writings on poetry and art have appeared in a =20= variety of publications, including Aperture, Artforum, The Believer, =20 Cabinet, Modern Painters, Parkett, and The Village Voice. **Greg Smith and the Broken English http://www.gregsmithandthebrokenenglish.com/ Hailing from the sleepy mountain towns of western Massachusetts, Greg =20= Smith spent his formative years engrossed in the music of bands like =20 Nirvana, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. It wasn=92t until discovering =20= the music of the now late Dave Carter that Smith found a deep =20 appreciation for folk and country music and realized his calling as a =20= songwriter. Leaving behind country life for the big city, Smith has =20 struggled to find better times on what=92s been a bumpy road of jobs =20 that don=92t pay, long-distance relationships, and the burden of leaving = =20 behind the family farm. But through the hard times, he=92s channeled his = =20 experiences into a body of work that breaks down stylistic barriers =20 and simply tells it like it is. **Joy Katz http://www.joykatz.com/ Joy Katz is the author of two poetry collections, The Garden Room and =20= Fabulae, and co-editor of the acclaimed anthology Dark Horses: Poets =20 on Overlooked Poems.

You have responded quickly to changing technology in some measure, and so have been able to support the burgeoning numbers of small press publishers in the technology changes that make more and more great books possible to make. Please at your earliest convenience start supporting digital (.pdf, kindle, MP3, whatever) downloads, and/or conversion for our books to that format for vending. Some of us who know how to do that are willing to help with specifications and processes at least. Additionally, can SPD openly consider -- perhaps debate -- used book sales a la half.com/eBay or Amazon (and Borders' original business model -- one which abandoning caused the corporation to fail?)? I have lots of thoughts on this last bit. But if it is a profit center for Amazon, was for Borders (and many independent bookstores still), why not small presses?

This is all in lieu of a grand project Doug Mowbray and I are developing as a poetry non-profit, which will include an extensive small press library and a network of teachers, poets and community leaders. The project is simple: record the voices of all who find in poetry a means to understand themselves and their environment, and to to develop a sustainable community ethic wherein creative literacy is at the forefront of civility and compassion. Anyone in the Baltimore area is invited to join in this project. If you'd like to help with any facet of this experiment, be it recording or editing audio/video for our website (tba), of if you'd like to read your favorite poems, please contact me at furniture.press.books@gmail.com.

SPD is in fact now able to offer digital formats of books. and you will see our very first e-titles available very soon (the actual files are being created right now). Because of the way that e-readers (like Kindle and iPads, for example) work, you will actually download most digital SPD titles directly through your particular device, but the books will indeed be from SPD. As for used books, unfortunately we simply don't have a warehouse with the space to house used books. It's also an issue (and something worthy of discussion by all who buy used books) that used book sales generate no profit for either publishers or authors (that only happens when a book is initially sold). So, while as readers ourselves we certainly love used books and would certainly prefer buying them through an entity like SPD, it wouldn't make sense for our business model (practical matters of space aside). For now, we hope that the digital books we will soon be providing will be welcome by SPD readers and that this might become a terrific way for many of the titles we make available to be available long beyond their traditional print runs. As you probably know, for now, ebook formats are not particularly friendly to poetry or other types of writing where things like line breaks are integral to a text, but there are a number of solutions on the near horizon. We look forward to being able to offer a considerable number of SPD titles in digital formats in the very near future. As for print books, as long as readers keep buying them, publishers can keep producing them. Digital or print, long live the book!

A brief description of the first two pieces reviewed: Chris Milk and The Arcade Fire, the Montréal band who won a Grammy for best album this year with The Suburbs, have produced an excellent interactive alternative to the music video that I review and link to. Some dudes from France, Maxime Simon and Pete, have produced quite a remarkable online game called Canvas Rider totally with HTML 5. The look of this game is perhaps the most remarkable thing about it. Very unusual and hand drawn. That and its ability to run fullscreen very smoothly. And the way that kids have responded to the ability for them to create new skins or maps for the game with their own pencil drawings. ja http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

After Lewis became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in literature (1930), an attempt was made to turn him into a respectable man of letters -- not a particularly promising idea, because he was a stone alcoholic. Nevertheless, after he returned from Stockholm there did come an invitation to address the students at Columbia. The auditorium there was large and full, but when Lewis took the stage he turned out to be seriously drunk. He stumbled over to the lectern and made the effort to focus on the eager faces before him. Then he spoke. "You want to be writers?" he asked. "Well then, God damn it, write." And then he stumbled back off the stage and went to sleep. I have no idea whether that story is true. Of course it's only a retelling of an ancient adage that exists in several versions -- for instance, the admonition _nulla dies sine linea_. But the advice is wise wherever it comes from, don't you think? Jonathan Morse ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

During this stay I began to awake to a deeper understanding of my father's illness, in particular the very real threat it presented, my anger and fear towards the disease, and the important but limited role that health care could play. Through reflecting on this experience I have come to see health care, like art, as being defined by the attempt, the process of trying to attain without the ability to realize perfection. These poems weave together visions from the MD Anderson trip, scientific articles, and pieces of my family's life after my father's death two years later with a variety of images, memories, characters, and spirits. The poems often begin with scenes and people from MD Anderson, but the experiences they revolve around encompass visions beyond my direct relationship with cancer, science, and health care. I hope that through my art I can come to convey some of this emotion, this swirl, this rotary."

He holds a PhD in Creative Writing and Community Psychology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and an MFA in poetry from Saint Mary's College of California. His dissertation portrays a family's experience of cancer care through poetry and essay, while his research and professional work has largely been focused on Native American cultural psychology and health promotion. He is a co-founder of the Pirate Pig Press, a community arts promotion extravaganza based out of California. The intertwining of poetry and the arts with community well-being and cultural resiliency are at the root of his work both as a poet and a scientist. He was raised on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota and in Fairbanks Alaska, and he is married with two young daughters. He has been published in scientific and literary journals, including MiPOesias, Big Bridge, Jack Magazine, Camas, BorderSenses, and Literary House Review. Spread the word.

In an insightful and stimulating journey, Farr takes an intense and often playful walk through landscapes of significance in which we are faced with the =93Onslaught of language,=94 on= ly to find that the =93amber light of meaning stares back.=94 To discover meaning= in something as =93fundamental as chaos,=94 we need go no further than America= n suburban culture of generic mega stores, chain restaurants, popular music and blockbuster movies. Reframing these ubiquitous icons in discursive language results in an effect rather like =93Marcel Duchamp=85singing songs= once sung by Doris Day.=94 Things are not, Farr shows us, as they seem =96 the daily reality we experience is not the only reality. With an astute sense of phrasing and rhythm, Raymond Farr explores the interplay of language and culture by taking us through =93all possible versions of a straight line=94 to learn t= hat there is =93a cubicle in a circle after blue skies on Saturday night.=94 We= are urged to take linguistic responsibility for the structure of the present instance through being reminded that, =93We are the consequence of cause & affect,=94 and that only =93moments ago there was the illusion of nothing.= =94 The dialectical =93I=94 in these poems is our collective aloneness in the d= esert of constant traffic noise. Despite our need to belong, we are ultimately alone, members only of ourselves. Overwhelmed by the lies we tell ourselves to make the terror of existence bearable, our lives become =93a dream we dr= eam to the end of the world.=94 Farr invites us to strip away all pretence so w= e can listen closely to the amorphous flux of the real, where perhaps we will hear =93the prayers of angels being answered in the dark,=94 and glimpse th= e inner heart where =93answers are vague=94 and the =93only true conclusion, = we conclude, is always inconclusiveness.=94 In the end, we have only our shado= ws to lose. =97*John C.

This is all in lieu of a grand project Doug Mowbray and I are developing as a poetry non-profit, which will include an extensive small press library and a network of teachers, poets and communit= y leaders. The project is simple: record the voices of all who find in poetry a means to understand themselves and their environment, and to to develop a sustainable community ethic wherein creative literacy is at the forefront o= f civility and compassion. Anyone in the Baltimore area is invited to join in this project.

The book consists of two parts, Snowstorm of Doubt are Kens poems and lyric= s, and reflect his vision of the world, view of the world, expressed in the= written word, incorporating every writers feelings of doubt that their wor= k is good enough, famously expressed by the Czech Yiddish writer Franz Kafk= a who requested after his death that his freind should "Burn them all, the = words that I have written".

We'll be on rooftops, hanging out of windows etc etc I hope you can come and see, hear, experience the The Saffron Green with us best M ** The Saffron Green A Space Opera in three movements written for voice, walkie talkie, megaphone and radio composed by Geneva Skeen and Mathew Timmons (radio score by Garrick Hogg, Andrew Lessman and Max Mayer). Employing a minimal modular score The Saffron Green brings together multiple analog technologies to explore the concept of both an outer space opera and an opera in space. Taking the structure of a space opera and bringing it to street level, The Saffron Green borrows liberally from sci-fi operatic soundscapes and matches it with protest chants from the "Arab Spring" revolts. The People Want to Topple, The People Want to Overthrow, The People Demand the Fall. The performance will extend throughout Chinatown, using Human Resources as a staging ground and as home base from 5:30-7:00 pm and culminating on, in and above Chung King Road performed by a group of roughly 35 people from 7:15-7:45 pm. You are invited to see The Saffron Green, the performance before the performance, the staging of the work as a work in and of itself at Human Resources from 5:30-7:00 pm as the performers ready themselves, get into costume, tune their radios, ready the walkie talkies and the bullhorns and warm up their voices. Then join us in walking over to Chung King Road for the performance from 7:15-7:45 pm for Perform Chinatown! on July 30. Performers: Geneva Skeen, Mathew Timmons, Garrick Hogg, Kim Calder, Claire Cronin, Greg Curtis, Andrea Dominguez, Kate Durbin, Rafa Esparza, Matt Fielder, Kate Gilbert, Gabi Gutierrez, Leah Harmon, Michael Anthony Ibarra, Mandy Kahn, Joanne Mitchell, Tayor Murphy, Carmel Ni, Leila Perry, Jon Rutzmoser, Yecenia Torres, Christine Werthiem, and more...

We hope to see you there. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=135592276525449 The Zinc Bar welcomes Dusie Press/the Dusie Kollektiv (Switzerland) Thursday, August 4, 5:30 p.m. sharp (doors open 5-ish) Zinc Bar: 82 West 3rd Street (btw Thompson & Sullivan), Greenwich Village, New York Free & Open to the Public Featuring readings from: Cara Benson Maria Damon Amanda Deutch Jennifer K. Dick Greg Fuchs Susana Gardner Becca Klaver Deborah Poe Marthe Reed Michael Ruby Kathrin Schaeppi Jill Stengel Vincent Zompa Curated by Dusie Kollektiv members Amanda Deutch, Deborah Poe and Vincent Zompa. The Dusie Kollektiv is a group of international poets who each produced their own chapbooks for distribution among the kollektiv members. Many editors published their chapbook under the name of a small press with which they are already affiliated; some created small presses just for the kollektiv. The point with the various names of press was to reify ownership and flood the market with new presses. Each year is different for the kollektiv, as every year there are different participants. With that said, there are many loyal kollektiv members who have been with the project since the first year. The project focuses more on process and risk, and writers have no inhibition regarding publishing as it is a completely open platform and all works get published. Also, the group exchange gives an extra push in way of timeline and production, which also motivates creation. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

In Baltimore City, I am organizing a massive recording session of area poets, writers and readers, and then creating a free online anthology where anyone in the world can listen. The purpose is to support the notion that =93The City that Reads=94 reflects the manifest interests and poetics of it= s citizenry, and that creative literacy can be sustained in Charm City. From now until September 24th, I=92ll be reaching out to individuals to rea= d their favorite poems in front of a microphone. It can be one poem or a series of poems. The object is to show the world that poetry is thriving in our fair city and that it=92s not just practicing or well-known poets and writers who are engaged in the craft. Immediately following September 24th, all documentation on the 100TPC.org weblog will be preserved by Stanford University in California, which has recognized 100 Thousand Poets for Change as an historical event, the larges= t poetry reading in history. They will archive the complete contents of the weblog, 100TPC.org, as part of their digital archiving program LOCKSS . So, want your 15 minutes of fame? Let=92s meet! You can find my contact inf= o below. Please write or call me to set up a time where we can meet. All you have to do is pick your favorite poems and tell us a little about yourself.

Foley starts the book off with a picture (on the cover of an earlier edition) of Grags-pa send-ge, an oral epic singer from the Chando area of the Tibetan Autonomous region of China. In Grags-pa send-ge's hand is a piece of paper at which he appears to be staring as he "reads" the epic. The interesting point is this: the paper is blank, yet all epic singers from this area hold paper as part of the performance. Indeed, the blank page is a kind of "centering" device, or even, if you will, an aid to visualization as the words roll forth. This perhaps is an extreme example, but one that brings up a question: When you give a "reading" of your work, how do you fill the gap to hit the sweet spot, as it were, between text and performance? Do you attempt to be true to the text before you, or do you use the text as a platform for improvisation, both vocal, and content wise? Are your performances 50/50--with the text counting as much as the performance, or are they--say--30/70, in which performance and improv. counts more than textual accuracy? Please do check out Foley's book--it's great. Jess ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.
