They are amazing, and I'm not just saying that because I love them. They start making music at 7pm on Sunday, and may they never stop. That's Sunday the 4th, at 8 pm.

This vo= lume will complement Talisman House's edition of Life Supports: New and Col= lected Poems of William Bronk, which came out after the North Point Press v= olume was no longer available, and the Collected Later will include the wor= k from the many volumes that were published post Life Supports (and I think= some poems that never made it into that earlier collected, but as I write = this I'm not sure about that inclusion). The appearance of Bursts of Light will coincide with a two-day symposium on= Bronk (organized by Ed and me, with crucial help from Peter Nicholls and M= ichael Golston), which we are tentatively calling "William Bronk in New Yor= k" and which will take place on April 13th (at NYU) and April 14th (at Colu= mbia U) and will culminate on the 14th with a plenary keynote talk by Henry= Weinfield to be followed by a large number of poets, critics and scholars= reading favorite Bronk poems to the gathering. We are planning to have the= entire conference audio- and video-recorded (ultimately the audio to be st= reamed at PennSound and the video at the future Talisman website). Until I finish teaching this semester I won't have the time ascertain if we= might still be able to add a paper or two to the schedule we'll be workin= g up (but if you're interested in presenting a paper then do send Ed and me= an abstract and we'll see if we can fit it in)-but, while we already have = commitments from a number of people to come and read Bronk poems aloud on t= he 14th we are still hoping more people, including you if you can come, wil= l want to help us celebrate his work by reading a bit of it to us all duri= ng this closing ceremony (after which we'll head somewhere still to be dete= rmined for drinks and talk). I will be sending more information about "William Bronk in New York" along = with, eventually, a full schedule of events, before too long.

What is nagging at me is that a relatively mainstream anthology is causing such a stir. A few months ago Sheila Black, Michael Northen, and I published Beauty is a Verb: The New Disability Poets & although we got great reviews from some of my favorite poets, the controversy of the book has been very nonexistent. My argument isn't that there are real racial and gender problems that need to be solved. My point is that the arguments about race and gender are so loud that the civil rights of people with disabilities are consistently ignored. And the problems of this minority remain so severe in comparison to other groups. First, looking at the Dove anthology itself what interests me is the still glaring lack of attention paid to poets/people with disabilities as a multicultural group. In what appears to be the ultimate inclusive collection Larry Eigner, Vassar Miller, Josephine Miles, Jim Ferris, Paul Guest are all absent and there is no mention of Crip Poetics The only poet in the collection who *might* identify as 'disabled" is Duncan, and I'm guessing the Duncan poems don't address his vision/vision which was arguably central to his work. I do think that an anthology, such as ours, which for starters is an entirely new phenonemen calls for a little attention. Beauty is a Verb discusses how aphasia is a link to experimental language (Cole), addresses 'crip poetics" which most people have never heard of (Kuppers), speaks to the linguistically complexity of translating English to ASL (Clark), and most of all addresses the disabled body as something that is okay, even sexy and a worthwhile experience. I wonder if speaking about disability is still a thing that makes people nervous, and they feel afraid of having a voice. Although there is plenty of discussion regarding race from white people, and unlike skin color, most of the able-bodied will have some disability in their lifetime. More importantly, it seems that people still dismiss disability as a category/identity and one that is privileged to the most simple rights like getting into the store or having a job, for gosh sake - not to mention being in the Penguin anthology. It also seems true that in the poetry world you have to insult someone directly or indirectly to get attention - which I did a few years ago when I called out Paul Guest for allowing John Ashbery to call him an invalid in his blurb. All hell broke lose & evidently the right to call a person an invalid is something people of which are very attached to. But that was the old Jennifer & the new Jennifer wants to be heard without causing too much anger. & Bob Grenier told me 'fighting is for young people." Perhaps Rita & Helen need Bobly's phone number! ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

He later d= id graduate work at Columbia University in American history and at King=E2=80= =99s College, the University of London, as a Fulbright scholar, taking an M.A.= at the former in 1966. Ever since, he has been an independent scholar/writer/media artist residing, until recently, in lower Manhattan.= His work in various domains has been recognized with individual entries i= n Contemporary Poets, Contemporary Novelists, Postmodern Fiction, Baker=E2=80= =99s Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, A Reader=E2=80=99s Guide to Twentie= th-Century Writers, the Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature, Webster=E2=80=99= s Dictionary of American Authors, The HarperCollins Reader=E2=80=99s Encycl= opedia of American Literature, NNDB.com, and Britannica.com, among other distinguis= hed compendia. The interviewer, whose comments appear here in italics, was Sarah Bird, a= n undergraduate working with the radical cultural historian Paul Buhle in t= he American Civilization program at Brown University. She talked with Richar= d Kostelanetz in November 2004 after RK's lecture to the Coalition of Independent Scholars at the General Society Library in New York City. RK corrected and amended the transcript then and, with brackets, later. I The only remotely avant-garde entity on campus around 1960 was the colleg= e literary magazine that had been edited by the painter John Willenbecher j= ust before I arrived. In its small office I met Bill Berkson, who left Brown only a few months after I arrived, later becoming a prominent poet and ar= t critic on the West Coast, who remembers our meeting in the literary magaz= ine office in a memoir that I found on the Internet and incidentally reprinte= d in my CD-Rom Intellectual Correspondence in the 21st Century (2005): =E2=80= =9CI can hear you now, in the Brunonia office, talking of Dissent, PR [Partisan Review], and other critical journals, of which at the time I knew not one= thing.=E2=80=9D In my library is an impressive copy of Brunonia's Fall 1958 issue that contains contributions by Berkson, Richard Foreman, and myself, each of u= s presaging what we later became. While Bill has a critical review of "beat= " poetry, Richard contributes not only a short play that he calls "a cartoo= n," but also an extended review of Bertolt Brecht's "epic opera," as he calls= it, Mahagonny, which Richard was invited to direct decades later in Lille= , France. (It didn=E2=80=99t happen, even after being fully prepared, for r= easons beyond his control.) My own contribution to Brunonia is a witty aphoristi= c dictionary that presages the Dictionary I wrote in 1990 and rewrote a dec= ade later. (This issue also has a stylistically unusual story by Peter Goldma= n, who briefly became an avant-garde filmmaker before doing something else.)= May I wonder if other issues of Brunonia and its successors, not to menti= on undergraduate literary magazines anywhere, are so professionally propheti= c? I knew less Steve Overbeck, perhaps two years ahead of me, who, as S. K. Overbeck, was later a Newsweek cultural staff writer for a while. Only af= ter graduating did I meet Harry Smith, who left Brown just before I came, but= as publisher of a literary periodical titled Pulpsmith he became one of the = few Brown alumni to publish me. I took only one course with S. Foster Damon, a great teacher and a sort o= f underground avant-garde celebrity, whom I saw more off-campus, so to spea= k. An activist in the art and musical avant-garde dating back to the 1920s, = he taught me an awful lot of useful stuff, especially how to be a profession= al, which is not quite the same thing as =E2=80=9Chow to write.=E2=80=9D Ther= e was at Brown around 1960 no conscious political or artistic avant-garde or underground= to any degree that Paul Buhle, a few years younger than I, understands the latter term from his own experience at Wisconsin=E2=80=94certainly not wh= en I was there in the late fifties and early sixties. Paul edited an anthology of rich memoirs about the 1950s and 1960s in at the University of Wisconsin that I recall reading with envy [History and the New Left, 1991], because= nothing comparable could be written about Brown during those years. II For my last three semesters at Brown I lived down Hope Street, next to a local library that became an historical society; that location was at the= time really more off-campus than it appeared to be the last time I visite= d Brown=E2=80=94in the early 1980s. We lived on the edge of a Portuguese sl= um called Fox Point that was probably slummier then than now. And Foster Damon live= d a few blocks away, at a parallel distance from the main campus, at 24 Thaye= r. Who is Foster Damon? Foster was an extraordinary man whom I hope is still remembered in some w= ay or another at Brown. Do a Google search of his name now, and you=E2=80=99= ll find a healthy number of references, thousands I think. His influence persists, even though he died decades ago. He founded the Harris Collection of poet= ry in the library, he knew avant-garde music, and he knew avant-garde literature. As an undergraduate at Harvard before World War I, he had co-founded with other students the Harvard Musical Review (1912-1916), wh= ich was meant to appreciate contemporary music ignored by their teachers. One= partner in this Review was a man who went on to a more distinguished care= er, the composer Roger Sessions, whose daughter Elizabeth was my Most Significant Other for many years. Foster=E2=80=99s brother-in-law was the= eccentric Boston poet John Brooks Wheelwright, who died too young, whose literary executor Foster became, whose poems are treasured to this day by John Ashbery, among others. [Since this interview, Ashbery questioned in correspondence with me about= New Directions waiting thirty years between announcing in 1939 and finall= y publishing Wheelwright=E2=80=99s collected poems in 1970, conjecturing th= at Foster might have been responsible for the delay, speculating further about Foster=E2=80=99s possible dementia. Knowing John, I replied that Foster w= as quite lucid in 1960-62, when I knew him best, if often pickled. John replied th= at the Wheelwright papers kept at Brown were a mess. I recalled that though Foster sorted American songs for the Harris Collection he wasn=E2=80=99t = skilled at detailed archiving. I didn=E2=80=99t recall Foster discussing Wheelwright= , though he often mentioned W.S.B. Braithwaite, who had anthologized Foster; but in 1= 960 I might not have recognized Wheelwright=E2=80=99s name. I speculated that= perhaps publication had to wait for his wife Louise, Wheelwright=E2=80=99s sister= , to return from institutionalization, as she did just before he died. Since he, not she, was the official executor, while they didn=E2=80=99t have children, = my speculation was admittedly insufficient.] Foster was important as well for publishing in 1924 the first big book on= William Blake in America. In this respect, he influenced my wife-to-be, a= Pembroker, who wrote her Columbia doctorate on Blake and, I=E2=80=99m tol= d, gave her son by her next husband the first name of Blake. In the 1930s, Foster compiled a pioneering anthology of American Songs that subsequently influenced the musical compositions of his contemporaries Virgil Thomson = and Aaron Copland. Then roughly that same age that I am now=E2=80=94in his mid-sixties--Fost= er had been involved in various boys=E2=80=99 clubs in Fox Point, which was then a Po= rtuguese slum behind Power Street. Ed Margolis, long an English professor in State= n Island, remembers that a decade before me Foster taught boxing to the Fox= Point kids. Because his wife Louise Wheelwright had been institutionalize= d for many years, select local kids would become his house helpers. Some of= them went on to careers at Brown, like Ernie Costa, who worked in the Bro= wn library until he died young. Though Foster had more connection to Fox Poi= nt than I did, perhaps my experience there prepared me for my next address, which was a low-rent public housing project in Harlem, down the hill from= Columbia University. Dinner at his Thayer Street house once a week, first for me and then for both Bunny and myself, was central to our experience of =E2=80=9Cundergro= und Brown.=E2=80=9D Were you already interested in the avant-garde when you were at Brown? Not so consciously. I remember reading on my own initiative Harold Rosenberg's The Tradition of the New, which turned me onto the idea of th= e avant-garde, and then Roger Shattuck=E2=80=99s The Banquet Years. I must = have reviewed the Rosenberg book for the undergraduate literary magazine becau= se I received an appreciative letter from the publisher who a few years late= r did a book of mine. Foster told me a lot, as I said, about the American avant-garde, not only in literature but also in music. Did you feel at that time that avoiding the Brown writing program was probably a wise move? As a major yes, but not Foster Damon=E2=80=99s verse writing course for w= hich I signed up, even though I had no ambitions to write poetry at the time and= I didn=E2=80=99t much like Damon=E2=80=99s assignments, which required us t= o write poems in a succession of English verse forms from Beowulf to the present. [A half-century later, long since a devout radical formalist, I wish I could= take it again.] =46rom Foster above all others I probably developed the intellectual ambi= tion for always aiming to take my work to a higher level, to go where no one e= lse has gone or would go, in my case not only in criticism but creative work = and even in this interview I hope, much as he and Cummings did in their own careers. Remember that Foster=E2=80=99s big book on William Blake, publis= hed in 1924 when Foster was only thirty-one, achieves an extraordinary unraveling. Ch= eck it out sometime to be impressed even now by his powers of elucidation, defining clarity in literature that previously seemed inscrutable. Foster= would tell that when he was a graduate student in English lit at Harvard = in the early 1920s, supplicants were asked what they thought of William Blak= e. It was enough for the student to say, =E2=80=9COh Blake, he=E2=80=99s cra= zy,=E2=80=9D for the examiner to move onto another subject. Simply, Foster=E2=80=99s Blake was= n=E2=80=99t crazy, and he=E2=80=99s not been crazy since. When I edited a decade ago an anth= ology of the more radical Cummings writings, it was appropriate to dedicate that b= ook to Foster. From him and from the Brown history professor Bill [William G.= ] McLoughlin, as well as other intellectual heroes, such as George Orwell, whom I also discovered in college, also comes the ambition to tell the truth, even an unfamiliar truth, much as I hope to do here. Though David Kelly continued to major in creative writing, I realized, partly through observing David=E2=80=99s experience, that I should stay a= way from other Brown writing courses, which I now think were designed to make high= school teachers. I have a vague recollection of John Hawkes telling me in= my freshmen year that I had =E2=80=9Cno talent for prose.=E2=80=9D Since he = dismissed me, I had no reason to take any other courses with him, probably to my good fortune= , we could now judge. I must have kept in touch with Hawkes nonetheless because I remember taking him and his wife Sophie to dinner at Foster Damon=E2=80=99s. They hadn=E2=80=99t met before, even though they were Ha= rvard undergraduates thirty years apart. Should we be surprised that Hawkes nev= er contacted me after my graduation, though, need I say, as an alumnus publishing both fiction and fiction criticism that are recognized in histories and encyclopedias. If he mentioned my work or even my name to later Brown students, I=E2=80=99ve never heard about it. Should this be c= onsidered another sign of Brown professors=E2=80=99 lack of respect for their more = successful students? I remember a close relative of his telling me, perhaps two deca= des ago, that Jack =E2=80=9Chated every minute=E2=80=9D of teaching, which ma= y have been true. Some alumni writers a generation younger than I have acknowledged John Hawkes=E2=80=99s importance to their development. One of them, whom I=E2=80= =99ve not met, Jeffrey Eugenides, even successfully appropriated the Hawkes formula of a= narrator whose physical abnormalities give him a peculiar perspective on experience.

I'll release one, well, now and one next week. This first one is named "I sail. I swim to you. I know the water." It is a piece about sexual identifications rather than sexual identity and (more broadly) about about liminal identity spaces of all types and the psychic and physical violence and trauma which so often exists in these spaces. It utilizes textual appropriation and collage, formal constraints, typographical manipulation, and lyric elegy in order to plomb the depths of a loosely structured, implied narrative that runs the gamut from an estranged mother and child to a fractured chronicle of the development of sexual dimorphism, 19th century sexology/psychiatry, and the subversive significance of alternative sexual & gender based identifications. I hope you'll read it, enjoy it, share it. Information wants to be free after all.

A couple of announcements that I hope might be of some interest. Firstly, Forum for Modern Language Studies has recently published an issue on contemporary poetry, ably edited by Steven Winspur. I've yet to have a chance to read through much of the rest of the issue, though I look forward to doing so. I have had to read my own article, much of which is occupied with a reading of virtuality, and the poetry of Chris Goode. I had a go at the task, that much is true. I've pasted the contents below. Secondly, Blackbox Manifold, edited by Adam Piette and Alex Houen, has a new issue out that Robin Purves and I had some hand in (a small hand, but a coaxing/waving one), which includes a number of poets from this end of the spectrum (insert "You are here" sticker): Rod Mengham, Tim Atkins, Michael Kindellan, Keston Sutherland, Tom Jones, Vahni Capildeo, and another showing for a couple of Geoff Ward's Rilke translations, available from Equipage.

This is a question directed toward teaching a class in the movement or starting a reading group. It occurs to me Pound's "With Usura" canto (XLV) might be a start (with its sounding at say http://nedjudy.com/stuff/usura.html). But I thought it might be fun to amass such a list, with winter coming and so time to gather for the spring.

Back in May, a friend - Silvia Nanclares - asked a similar question regarding the #15M movement and all the occupied public spaces here in Spain. Many of us answered that question, some web developers joined in, and, a few weeks later, we had the #Bookcamping project up and running. Here: http://bookcamping.cc And it's still going strong. We just completed a crowdfunding campaign to guarantee its future, and even "official" media are starting to pay attention to us. So far, Spanish only, I'm afraid. We're working on that. Keep the list posted on how this goes - it would be nice to mention it on our blog.

Foster Damon & The Waldrops MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII I was glad to read Richard Kostelanetz' excerpts re: Brown. My own experience at Brown was equally abysmal; if it wasn't for Damon and the Waldrops, I would have pretty much collapsed. Keith was really instrumental and I remember visiting him and Rosmarie on (I think) Elmgrove Avenue any number of times. More to the point was an early encounter my freshman year with I. A. Richard; he had come to speak at Brown, and nuisance that I am, I asked him to read my poetry. He said he'd get back to me 'in a few weeks' - instead, I found the poems returned to my mainbox the next morning, fully annotated and full of encouragement. That meant the world to me at the time; his generosity (in the midst of a busy schedule) was amazing. - Alan == eyebeam: http://eyebeam.org/blogs/alansondheim/ email archive http://sondheim.rupamsunyata.org/ web http://www.alansondheim.org / cell 347-383-8552 music: http://www.espdisk.com/alansondheim/ current text http://www.alansondheim.org/rg.txt == ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

From there, a series of enactments welcome trespass and incursion in the name of survival. Amy Sara Carroll on the Transborder Immigrant Tool, a GPS phone that uses poetry to lead the disoriented and thirsty to water caches and safety sites in the US-Mexican borderlands. Devora Neumark on washing Tali Goodfriend?s hands in Lebanese olive oil outside the hotel where Colin Powell speaks to the Jewish National Fund, hands gliding over one another in the middle of an angry public protest. Christian Nagler on writing an experimental novel while conducting an oral history of agricultural labor practices and migration patterns at the site of the Panamerican Highway in El Salvador. Georgina Kleege on touch and blindness as she discusses Katherine Sherwood?s paintings of magic and the human brain, paintings that Sherwood began after her stroke ten years ago. Eleni Stecopoulos on the healing quest as research and the complexities of cultural appropriation. Amber DiPietra and Denise Leto on the collaborative connections of breath, body, pause, pain, and form. Somatic Engagement is an exploration of how relation and support play out in breaths, steps, and touch. -- Petra Kuppers Associate Professor English, Art and Design, Theatre, Women's Studies University of Michigan 435 S.

Within his strictest tenement Deciduous to rise, That wing confining aviary To me were Paradise.

He makes Bukowski look like Billy Childish and Billy Childish look like William MacGonagall!" *Stewart Home* "Imagine a *Boys Own Paper* landscape with *True Crime* architecture. Laurence Harvey dodges from building to country trying to evade CCTV whose sound footage runs through Babelfish. The smells are Jack London, the light is Genet and the memories are Edgar Lee Masters. Equally in words is Steven Johannes Fowler's *Minimum Security Prison Dentistry*: elegant, coldly funny, at times emotional, textured with occasional accidental/intentional solecisms; but getting the work done. Nowadays most pages labelled "poetry" are unreadable and uninteresting: these give hope. Anyone who can name-check Joe Arpaio and Jacky le Mat, and reference the cover-texture of an Anselm Hollo book from the sixties rides my particular range." * **Tom Raworth* ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Available at SPD. And if you are on the fence and need a blurb to sway you, here you go: CLOUD COMPUTING supposes the sui generous and then is so bold as to use any means necessary to "compute" said thing/world. The answers are pulled down from clouds, black boxes, and the like, and they seem mostly correct. Any detectable errors seem immediately to fall under Wittgenstein's mantra "The world is all that is the case," or Frank O'Hara's gravestone, "Grace to be born and live as variously as possible," or maybe even Warhol via Cale, "Faces and names, I wish they were the same." If this book of poems were a movie, it would be a blockbuster action flick with lots of pyrotechnics, and you can bet its tagline would be: There is no nexus in the cloud. http://www.fifthplanetpress.com/ Enjoy!

Durgin" Subject: Tan Lin's INSOMNIA AND THE AUNT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit …was published in the spring of 2011 as a limited edition artist’s book, with covers designed and letterpress printed by Rebecca Cooling-Mallard and interior composition by Patrick Durgin. As well as gaining notice from, among others, Brooklyn Rail’s artist’s books columnist, and featuring with Printed Matter, the world’s preeminent dealer of publications by artists, Insomnia and the Aunt was then known mainly to an equally “limited edition” of literati. Yet it was nominated for the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association Award in the summer and enthusiastically lauded in literary journals, such as Constant Critic. Now the book is being re-printed and re-launched as a deluxe paperback book suitable for the trade, libraries, and a general audience of readers. The book uniquely yokes avant-garde risk and biographical intrigue. It is poignant, arch, challenging, and accessible, all at once. Alongside its recent adjunct, the online “Patio and the Index,” Insomnia and the Aunt ushers in a new form of essay-narrative-poem: an “ambient novel.” In Lin’s increasingly influential oeuvre, it extends a project he dubs “ambient stylistics” into the evolving category of literary nonfiction, i.e. “life writing.” …is an ambient novel composed of black and white photographs, postcards, Google reverse searches, letters, appendices, an index to an imaginary novel, re-runs and footnotes. The aunt in question can’t sleep. She runs a motel in the Pacific Northwest. She likes watching Conan O’Brien late at night. She may be the narrator’s aunt or she may be an emanation of a TV set. Structured like everybody’s scrapbook, and blending fiction with non-fictional events, Insomnia and the Aunt is about identities taken and given up, and about the passions of an immigrant life, rebroadcast as furniture. Ostensibly about a young man’s disintegrating memory of his most fascinating relative, or potentially a conceptualist take on immigrant literature, it is probably just a treatment for a prime-time event that, because no one sleeps in motels, lasts into the late night and daytime slots. …is one among many works. Tan Lin is the author of Lotion Bullwhip Giraffe, BlipSoak01, Ambience is a Novel with a Logo, Heath (Plagiarism/Outsource), 7 Controlled Vocabularies and Obituary 2004. The Joy of Cooking, and Heath Course Pak. His work has appeared in numerous journals including Conjunctions, Artforum, Cabinet, New York Times Book Review, Art in America, and Purple. His video, theatrical and LCD work have been shown at the Marianne Boesky Gallery, Yale Art Museum, Sophienholm Museum (Copenhagen), Ontological Hysterical Theatre, and as part of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Soundcheck Series. Lin is the recipient of a Getty Distinguished Scholar Grant for 2004-2005 and a Warhol Foundation/Creative Capital Arts Writing Grant to complete a book-length study of the writings of Andy Warhol. He has taught at the University of Virginia and Cal Arts, and currently teaches creative writing at New Jersey City University.

Everyone is allowed to submit regardless of previous publication history. Every entrant will receive the equivalent cost of the entry fee in Pavement Saw Press titles. Unlike many publishers whose collections are printed one copy at a time and therefore lack a large circulation, our chapbooks are published in a first edition of 400 copies plus overage. While chapbooks rarely receive exposure, ours have been reviewed in Poets and Writers, Publishers Weekly, The Georgia Review, Small Press Review and many others. Our previous winners have had subsequent full length books appear from a bevy of publishers including Ahsahta Press, Curbstone Press, Cleveland State University Press, Birds llc, Bear Star Press, BlazeVOX, Shearsman Books, Futurepoem Books, University of Georgia, Tupelo Press, Hanging Loose Press and so on. Submit up to 32 pages of poetry. Include a signed cover letter with your name, address, phone number, e-mail, publication credits, a brief biography and the title of the chapbook. Include a cover page with your contact information and the chapbook title. Include a second page with the chapbook title only. Do not include your name on any pages inside the manuscript except for the first title page. No need for a contents page. All chapbooks are selected blindly / anonymously. Manuscripts will be considered until December 31st, 2011. Entry fee: $15 for US entries, $18 overseas, $21 electronic (world wide). If you wish to submit electronically, send $21.00 via paypal to info@pavementsaw.org. Then e-mail the manuscript as an attachment to the same address and we will send you an e-mail confirmation that your entry is all set. Electronic submissions need to be sent as PDF files or as word (.doc or .docx) files. Other formats are not accepted. The extra cost is to cover the paypal fees as well as the time, labor, ink, and so on, to print out your manuscript. Or use our website http://www.pavementsaw.org/pages/chapcontest.htm If you wish to send via regular mail, have your envelope postmarked by December 31st and accompany your manuscript with a check in the amount of $15.00 payable to Pavement Saw Press. All contributors to the contest will receive books, chapbooks and journals equal to, or more than, the entry fee. Add $3 (US) for other countries to cover the extra postal charge. Do not include an SASE for notification of results. Do not send the only copy of your work. All manuscripts are recycled and individual comments on the manuscripts cannot be made. This year the editor will be the judge and, as it should be, he promises not to chose former students, former or potential sexual partners, press interns, or people that can make him famous. A decision will be reached in March. Entries should be sent to our address at the bottom of the page.

They are in that they are produced with a program I wrote in JavaScript called Aleph Null. They are not in that they were generated by Aleph Null and I did not anticipate them. They come as a surprise to me. Also surprising to me is their sometimes organic and also sexual quality or associations. I wondered why they have these unintended properties. My 'answer' is that the development and evolution of life involved related dynamic processes of generation. The same process operates over a length of a curve or an area to produce a simple or fundamental organic shape. Related to the sort of thing Darcy Thompson wrote about in On Growth and Form.

A man's pennies needed to be closer to his penis. A man guarded his pennies with his penis, with his life. Even when banks have promised to take over the risks of looking after a man's dough, he still feels uncomfortable that his pennies are far from the daily watch of his penis."

I finished a book, for all intents and purposes, this year. Having not found a home for any of them, I decided rather than let them linger on my hard drive, I would just put them on Scribd and attempt to just release them digitally, for free, and hopefully people would read them and enjoy them. I (like many others), lost my job this year and so this was the most affordable way for me to self-publish. Beyond that, people can print them out (8.5x11) if they want physical copies, download them, or just read them on Scribd, so there's flexibility. I do hope people will take the time to read them and, if they feel so compelled, contact me if for no other reason than to offer their thoughts & criticisms. *I sail. I swim to you.

I've taught graduate classes on linguistics and literature which have highlighted his work and they have been successful. Since I teach at an art school now [with no graduate degrees], I am revising this course into a "linguistics and the arts" course, in which Jakobson will be a prominent source. If you look at the paperback edition of his collected essays on *Language and Literature* [Harvard Univ. Press], you will find fascinating essays on "Questions of Literary Theory" that treats things like Futurism, Dada, Russian formalism, as well as potentially poetic things like aphasia. You will also find essays on the grammar of poetry, which treat the poetry of grammar as well. This section treats some Russian modernists, as well as analyses of Baudulaire, Shakespeare, Yeats, Turgenev,as well as "subliminal verbal patterning in poetry." There is also a collection of essays devoted to Russian modernists [poets, Pasternak, and critics], as well as a section of essays devoted to "semiotic vistas." Here we get Jakobson's take on translation issues; semiotics; the relationship between musicology & linguistics; film, and the relation between visual and auditory signs; as well as an essay on 'William Blake and other poet-painters.' My experience has been that sophisticated students will become enthralled by Jakobson, as I and my students have. I think that a course that introduces students to Stein, Cage, Ashbery, Spicer, et al., should also introduce them to Jakobson.

Everyone is allowed to submit regardless of previous publication history. Every entrant will receive the equivalent cost of the entry fee in Pavement Saw Press titles. Unlike many publishers whose collections are printed one copy at a time and therefore lack a large circulation, our chapbooks are published in a first edition of 400 copies plus overage. While chapbooks rarely receive exposure, ours have been reviewed in Poets and Writers, Publishers Weekly, The Georgia Review, Small Press Review and many others. Our previous winners have had subsequent full length books appear from a bevy of publishers including Ahsahta Press, Curbstone Press, Cleveland State University Press, Birds llc, Bear Star Press, BlazeVOX, Shearsman Books, Futurepoem Books, University of Georgia, Tupelo Press, Hanging Loose Press and so on. Submit up to 32 pages of poetry. Include a signed cover letter with your name, address, phone number, e-mail, publication credits, a brief biography and the title of the chapbook. Include a cover page with your contact information and the chapbook title. Include a second page with the chapbook title only. Do not include your name on any pages inside the manuscript except for the first title page. No need for a contents page. All chapbooks are selected blindly / anonymously. Manuscripts will be considered until December 31st, 2011. Entry fee: $15 for US entries, $18 overseas, $21 electronic (world wide). If you wish to submit electronically, send $21.00 via paypal to info@pavementsaw.org. Then e-mail the manuscript as an attachment to the same address and we will send you an e-mail confirmation that your entry is all set. Electronic submissions need to be sent as PDF files or as word (.doc or .docx) files. Other formats are not accepted. The extra cost is to cover the paypal fees as well as the time, labor, ink, and so on, to print out your manuscript. Or use our website http://www.pavementsaw.org/pages/chapcontest.htm If you wish to send via regular mail, have your envelope postmarked by December 31st and accompany your manuscript with a check in the amount of $15.00 payable to Pavement Saw Press. All contributors to the contest will receive books, chapbooks and journals equal to, or more than, the entry fee. Add $3 (US) for other countries to cover the extra postal charge. Do not include an SASE for notification of results. Do not send the only copy of your work. All manuscripts are recycled and individual comments on the manuscripts cannot be made. This year the editor will be the judge and, as it should be, he promises not to chose former students, former or potential sexual partners, press interns, or people that can make him famous. A decision will be reached in March. Entries should be sent to our address at the bottom of the page.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello wonderful readers, We are very pleased to announce the hiring of two new staffers for /Unlikely Stories: Episode IV/: *Margret Crist* is our new Music Director. Margret lives by the Frisco Bay and is training to become a mad scientist one day. One day, while absently reviewing whale songs, she found herself reviewing music for Stereokill.net. Sometimes, she writes haiku about how she hates her job. The music department will not be greatly revamped from its format in /Unlikely 2.0/, however, Margret will be attending shows in the SF Bay Area and reviewing them at the Unlikely Blog ( http://www.unlikelystories.org/blog/ ), in addition to her work selecting featured musical artists. To facilitate that, she'll have an /Unlikely/ press pass! This is something we find amusing. We will be changing the way that we present political essays, and to facilitate that, we've hired *Joseph Rose* as Political Editor. Joseph Rose is a graduate student studying Sociology at Georgia State University. He's into critical discourse analysis and cultural studies. He is a spouse, a parent, and a news junkie. Joseph believes that our current socio-political system is so thoroughly broken that desperate action is needed from all sectors of society, and that civil disobedience, radical self-expression, and other forms of socially condemned behavior are necessary to improve humanity's condition. He joined /Unlikely Stories/ in order to work with the literary/artistic community in promoting social change. We shall send him a press pass as well, just to see if it gets him kicked out of Occupy General Assemblies. Meanwhile, the videos from the Lafayette, Louisiana read for 100 Thousand Poets for Change and the Nov. 4th Unlikely read in Lafayette at Cité des Arts are up at http://www.youtube.com/user/JonathanPenton. Videos for the Nov. 6th Unlikely read in New Orleans at the Maple Leaf are forthcoming. *Jonathan Penton* is working on the new global site for 100 Thousand Poets for Change ( http://www.100tpc.org/ ) , and getting ready to accept submissions for his feature in the 2012 issue of /Big Bridge/ ( http://www.bigbridge.org/ ): /Cuyahoga Burning/, on current Ohio literature. Watch this space! *Gabriel Ricard* is continuing to post awesome book reviews at the Unlikely Blog, and when /Unlikely Stories: Episode IV/ launches, he'll be doing an in-depth feature on artist and vocalist Jessicka Addams. Our target release date for the first issue of /Unlikely Stories: Episode IV/ is March 1st. Before then, we'll need a new Art Director, who will handle visual art and film submissions. Interested?
