The world will not be the same for me in some profound way now.

In case you've not seen the obit I am reproducing one of the poems she included (she made terrific selections, I think)--I regret I did not see this poem before now (it was published in Bomb in 2011), especially because I think it truly is a great poem, one that ascends to greatness with grace, elegance, and a sense of ease. Here it is: The Mother of Invention *On my desk are the bills from the living** **and in my sleep are the bills from the dead.*** *=93Emptiness is the mother of invention=94** **says my fortune cookie. July 23, 2010.** **Brooklyn**. I walk in the slow rain,** **never less accomplished, never happier.*** *Why should I doubt the world has meaning** **when even in myself I see mysterious purposes.*** *A crow drops down for a moment,** **black, rabbinical garb, croaking Kaddish.*** Here's another one of Harvey's poems that Fox might have included in the obit (to mark his WWII service--btw, see his role in the genesis of MLK's "Letter from Birmingham Jail"): Italy, 1996 This Italian earth is special to me because I was here in a war when I was young and immortal. I remember the cypresses in the early morning light on the road to the airfield before the sky filled with toiling planes massing high over Italy for the perilous crossing to Germany.

Ive received and picked up numerous poetry chapbooks, and thought it might be worth compiling a list of the Canadian titles that really stuck out, over the past calendar year. The only really frustrating thing about a list such as this is knowing how woefully incomplete it is, including all the chapbooks that, for whatever reason, I couldnt get my hands on. Consider this a mere fraction of Canadian poetry activity in the realm of small and micro publishing. Here they are, in no particular order: 1.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" In going through the old American newspapers of the middle to late 19th century, I've noticed an interesting trend. Much poetry of the Temperance Movement seems to be of what we may call the linguistically innovative variety. Perhaps because the "rules" of polite discourse were bent neigh to bursting by the inroads of demon rum (at least in the perceptions of those who agitated for the acceptance of "Cold Water" over alcohol), that poetic form as well as syntax, spelling, and etc. were loosened up in quite an interesting manner. There was also a freedom displayed in the composing and publishing of what we might now call Visual Poetry--primarily of hour glasses and bottles made up of words--playfully put together, but with the deadly serious intent of creating a nation of teetotalers. Below is an example of a temperance poem that could have been written by Bill Bisset on an overcast day.

Thanks, Jesse! It wasn't just the temperance writers who went in for creative spelling in the 1850s, though. Phonetic orthography was standard procedure for humorists like Josh Billings, Artemus Ward, Petroleum V. Nasby (all of those names are pseudonyms), and the genuinely disturbing and genuinely creative Sut Lovingood (George Washington Harris). Here's an introduction to the prose, with a link. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/hns/swhumor/fool.htm And here's Artemus Ward's (Charles Farrar Browne) report on a visit to a Shaker family. http://books.google.com/books?id=H3BaAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA12&lpg=PA12&dq=%22artemus+ward%22+shakers&source=bl&ots=Mc52l0T6Uk&sig=EslEBZVyYji8em8NArHCoq2eLI0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XWL7UNuNLYicjALd34HoBg&ved=0CFYQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22artemus%20ward%22%20shakers&f=false Jonathan Morse ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

And funny spelling doesn't a linguistically innovative poem make. There's a real difference between Sut L. and the rest you mention, and the anonymous author of the poem I posted--can you spot it?

I've been a fan of Woodland Pattern since 1980. I used to call it Church and set up chairs for readings so I could get in free. Some of the happiest memories of my stay in Milwaukee are centered right there with Karl and Anne and the many others who made that Bookcenter hum. Woodland Pattern is located on Locust Street in the boho area of River West. A Grocery Co-Op was right up the street, and Big Ray's Tap was right there too. The Tragedy of Big and Little Ray and the Tap is of Euripidean proportions and needs to be told someday in story or song. While poetry and new music could be had at Woodland Pattern, free bar food and 25 cent water glasses of Miller made it handy to buy a round for everybody and be everybody's pal at Big Ray's. Then there was gap-toothed Tiny Mo the accordion player on Polka Nights. Though there were lots of new and exciting forms of language going on at Woodland Pattern, Big Ray's was the only place I ever heard the word "overneath" used in conversation. In short, one could have it all on Locust Street, and to be young there was very heaven.

In this week, we=92re workshopping a play by celebrated Native playwright Alanis King, and we will work in close connection with Miiskwaasinii=92ing Nagamojig (The Swamp Singers), a Michigan-based hand-dr= um group, to create a praise song for Daphne Odjig=92s woodland paintings in t= he University of Michigan=92s archives. This symposium will marry the strengths of the University of Michigan=92s Anishinaabemowin language program, a thriving community of language teachers and learners, with our series of arts-based research symposia, in which we investigate ways of knowing through creative means. In this week, we want to ask questions about the place of performance and women=92s work in language survivance and revitalization, about decolonizin= g methodologies and performance, about honoring Native women artists, and about intercultural performance practices. *Pre-conference events: Sunday 27th* 2pm, Native Campus Community Meet-and-Greet with Alanis King, CSP Conference Room, Angell Hall, Main Campus *Monday 28th* 11.30 to 1, Angell Hall 3222 Presentation by *Alanis King*, an Odawa Playwright/Director originally from the Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve, the first Aboriginal woman to graduate from the National Theatre School of Canada, to English and Ojibwa language undergraduate students. *Tuesday 29th Symposium Start:* Afternoon, 2pm, Duderstadt Center Video Studio, North Campus *Emilie Monnet *is an interdisciplinary artist with Anishnabe and French heritage and a graduate of Ondinnok=92s First Nations Theatre training program =96 in partnership with The National Theatre School of Canada (Montreal, 2007).

Erdrich=92s poetry often explores themes of indigenous culture, mothering, and the natural world, using the cadence of oral storytelling and a close attention to sound and meter to drive poems rich with sensory and dreamlike imagery. Erdrich is the author of several poetry collections, including Cell Traffic (2012), National Monuments (2008), winner of the Minnesota Book Award; The Mother=92s Tongue (2005), part of Salt Publishing=92s award-winning Earthworks Series of Native American and Latin American literature; and Fishing for Myth (1997).

The sisters describe their vision on the foundation=92s website: =93We foresee = a vital return to our Native American languages through the efforts of elders that are already underway.

You remember 2004—a few unpleasantries were occurring, but at the same time, the U.S. Treasury Department, led by the Bush Administration, discovered that it /couldn’t/outlaw translations of literature from Iran, Lybia, and Cuba—the outrage against them was too great. We at /Unlikely/(then called /Unlikely 2.0/dove into cultural commentary, and it’s been an integral part of our site since. In 2012 we launched /Unlikely Stories: Episode IV/, and reduced our focus on sociopolitical analyses, instead (mostly) shifting to firsthand accounts of activism. These firsthand accounts, available all over the ‘Net and covering a broad range of activities and philosophies, are now a core element of our monthly content. Political Editor Joseph Rose made the transition smooth and effective, but he must now commit to other things, and we seek his replacement. The candidate should: 1. Care about the arts and their role in society. This is a political position at an arts magazine. It exists because we at /Unlikely/feel that the line between arts and politics should be a lot blurrier than it typically is. 2. Be prepared to commit up to twenty hours a month to reading political and activist content on the web, finding appropriate discussions, and requesting permission to reprint them at /Unlikely./ 3. Have the social skills necessary to request reprint rights, and care about Copyright and proper attribution, even if no one else on the Web does. See http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html and http://unlikelystories.org/05/hadley0805.shtml. 4. Understand that, while the Political Editor is a fully autonomous editor who has broad control of their “fiefdom,” /Unlikely/’s political segments are deliberately woven with its art criticism segments, and this job therefore requires regularly working with /Unlikely/’s Editor-in-Chief, Jonathan Penton. And he’s batshit. The candidate should consider: 1. What do you feel is meant by “activism?” How do your own political assumptions come into play? Do you find /Unlikely/’s political opinions to be roughly compatible with your own? Are there changes you’d like to see? 2. What sort of work would you like to bring to the department? Would you like to blog? Videoblog? Compile sets of related essays? Compile sets of essays in which the authors disagree? If this sounds like it would bring you enjoyment and enrichment, sue your parents for malpractice, verify that you’ve seen our submission guidelines at http://www.unlikelystories.org/mission.shtml, and introduce yourself to “us” at jonathan@unlikelystories.org. And, no, it doesn’t pay. I run /Unlikely /at a loss, always have. If you have some sort of wack-ass lit-career plan for which this job sounds helpful, well, I’m happy to work with you on it. -- Jonathan Penton http://www.unlikelystories.org/ ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

About the Al Purdy A-frame Project: So we built a house, my wife and I our house at a backwater puddle of a lake near Ameliasburg, Ont. Al Purdy In Search of Owen Roblin And that A-frame house, made out of second-hand lumber and original poetry, became the most famous writers house in the country. Hundreds of writers and their housemates found their way to Roblin Lake to visit the Purdys and talk about poetry and history while downing beer or wild grape wine. Coleridge and his friends had their lake country, and now the Canadian poets would have theirs. A lot of poetry and prose came out of that hard-to-find place. To prevent its second-hand wood from ending up on someones scrap heap, and with the blessing and support of Als widow, Eurithe Purdy, The Purdy A-frame Association raised funds to purchase the property and is now raising more funds to preserve it, create an endowment and establish a poet-in-residence program. http://www.harbourpublishing.com/PurdyAFrame/ -- writer/editor/publisher ; ottawater, above/ground press + Chaudiere Books (www.chaudierebooks.com) ; coord., SPAN-O + ottawa small press fair poetry - Songs for little sleep, (obvious epiphanies press) ; 2nd novel - missing persons ; abovegroundpress.blogspot.com ; robmclennan.blogspot.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

The words of the poem were encoded in a language of collapsing iron shutters, which were decodable as numbers, which in turn rendered up words, letters, phrases. A series of towers topped with collapsing iron shutters and manned by men who knew just when how and why to collapse and restore them, passed the poem along in the same manner that native Americans used smoke signals. The Optical Telegraph was a whizz-bang bit of technology if there ever was one. My source for this golden bit is the Wikipedia. God bless you all, or rather What Hath God Wrought?.

O.K. Side B ? O.K. As a visual artist, David Blamey has a knack for finding patterns of formalism in everyday life that, when augmented through acts of repetition or prolonged attention, break down and unravel in interesting ways. At the critical point of collapse within this method there exists an opportunity for subjects to transcend themselves: to be elevated from their material constraints into a higher realm of possibility. This new sound piece evolved from an ink drawing made in India that simply states: ?O.K.? The banality of the word would seem to offer little in the way of musical promise, yet when repeated over time our awareness becomes drawn to subtle inflections within its minimal neutrality. In due course any meaning that the word may have once held is lost and something else transpires. With references to club culture, meditation tapes and conceptual art, this project serves as a droll mantra for uncertain times. http://www.mydancetheskull.com/catalogue/voice-studies/vs-11-david-blamey/ ...

I invite you to submit a proposal for the conference, and also to spread the word to students and colleagues who are working on Dickinson. For its 25th anniversary, the Emily Dickinson International Society is sponsoring a conference, Aug 9-11, entitled Emily Dickinson, World Citizen . You can click on CFP here; it's also attached and pasted it in below. As you'll see, we're especially interested in "innovative and alternative presentation modes (such as pecha kucha and artistic performances)," and in contributions that stretch the theme of Emily Dickinson, World Citizen . She did, after all, gather "Paradise" in her "narrow Hands." If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me Marianne Noble (mnoble@american.edu ) or Martha Nell Smith (mnsmith@umd.edu ) directly or the conference committee at edis-2013-conference@umd.edu . We hope you will join us for a wonderful time rowing in Eden and basking in poetry. In Possibility, Marianne Noble Emily Dickinson International Society (EDIS) EDIS 2013 International Conference: “Emily Dickinson, World Citizen” University of Maryland and American University College Park, MD and Washington, D.C. http://www.emilydickinsoninternationalsociety.org/node/123 On August 9-11, 2013, the University of Maryland and American University will co-sponsor an Emily Dickinson International Society (EDIS) international conference in the Washington, D.C. area. To celebrate 25 years of EDIS fostering intellectual and artistic exchange, “Emily Dickinson, World Citizen” will explore Dickinson’s various forms of belonging and ways in which multiple constituencies “belong” to her, her world. The poet herself may have seen “New Englandly, ” but as a cosmopolitan reader, she crafted and cultivated numerous affiliations beyond the local. This conference explores her politics, her understanding of citizenship, her engagements with international cultures and influences, as well as those cultures’ diverse engagements with her writings. The focus of the conference’s critical and artistic inquiries is the global reach of her mind and verse from the nineteenth century to the present. “Emily Dickinson, World Citizen” will take extensive advantage of the many historical and cultural resources in the D.C. area. Anticipated highlights include high tea at the Willard Hotel, where Emily Dickinson stayed when she visited her Representative father and where Julia Ward Howe wrote “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”; a lecture and/or exhibition, followed by a reception, at the National Museum of Women in the Arts; a dinner and reception at American University; a poetry reading by some who consider the DC/Maryland area home; and what Emily Dickinson would surely demand if she were coming —a crabfest, with alternatives of course for those who do not eat shellfish. For this conference in “Scarlet Maryland, ” we invite proposals for papers, performances, panel sessions, and other critical and artistic responses to the theme “Emily Dickinson, World Citizen.” Innovative and alternative presentation modes (such as pecha kucha) are encouraged. Presentations of research not directly related to the conference theme are also invited. Our â €œworlding” of Emily Dickinson includes using 21st century media for our knowledge exchange. To that end, abstracts of the presentations will be made available to all participants at least 30 days before the conference. Please submit proposals for papers, performances, panels to edis-2013-conference@umd.edu by February 15, 2013. Notifications of acceptances will be sent no later than February 28, 2013. Look for updates on the conference at http://www.emilydickinsoninternationalsociety.org/node/123. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

For ten years, Tom Lanoye, Ramsey Nasr, Bart Moeyaert, Joke van Leeuwen, Peter Holvoet-Hanssen and now Bernard Dewulf have been proud defenders of the free verse and Poetry. (http://www.antwerpen.be/eCache/ABE/81/35/307.html) Now they need your support! In an article in Flemish quality newspaper "De Standaard" ( http://www.standaard.be/artikel/detail.aspx?artikelid=3DDMF20130130_010) th= e right winged flemish nationalistic party NV-A proposes to stop the institute of the Antwerp City Poet. Due to the fact that these people are or badly informed about what the Antwerp City Poet is doing for poetry, language and integration or because of the fact that this right wing party sees the Antwerp City Poet as a remnant of 10 years "left wing influence" on society or just want to stop the unique way the Antwerp City Poet format works - the Antwerp City Poet is completely free and can speak and write about whatever s/he wants and it will be made public regardless of the fact if it is pro or contra the reigning mayor or parties. The NV-A has been very eager to use philosophy, popular misconceptions and lies to discredit the arts as a way of freedom of expression and not as a propaganda tool for the right wing nationalistic Flemish nation state making. The president of the Flemish Parliament (member of NV-A) as well as mayor of Antwerp (the president of the NV-A) and different other NV-A politicians and thinkers are constantly trying to shut up all dissident voices in Antwerp and in Flanders. As we see currently in Hungary, but also in other countries around the world, dissident voices to the nationalistic narrow far right way of thinking are being silenced by portraying the dissident voices as enemies of the(ir) state (vision) and so stopping funding with common popular consent or even worse convicting them to prison. I took the freedom to add the links to these articles underneath here so - with the help of a (google) translator you can read them for yourself and assess the danger first hand. As you know, I'm - not only in my poetry but also in my day-to-day life - an advocate of freedom of speech everywhere in the world. On Facebook there is a group - since today - which is "Safe the City Poet" = ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Red-de-Stadsdichter/148087885348800) As most of you have met or been in touch with the unique way the Antwerp City Poet works and since you are all very much in favour of Freedom of Speech as active poets, exiled or organisers, I send you this plea to go to the facebook page and like it, leaving a comment and/or writing about this threat to the freedom of speech in the centre of Europe. I thank you for sending your letters of support to Michael Vandebril and/or to publish them online, sharing them with us all. Hoping that the voice of the City Poet of Antwerp will not be deafened.

I gathered from friends of Allen's that, at the time he met Spicer, he was sort of what was once called a "remittance man,"that his family gave him an allowance on condition he stayed away (maybe not in so many words). What a small world and to have it emerge on the Poetics List, there's a strange beauty in this. Please keep me posted on your further investigations. Your cousin haunts me, and the letters and poems Spicer wrote to him are about as warm as he got, Cheers from San Francisco, Kevin K. > Maria, I never think of myself being related to anyone (certainly not to > James Joyce), and there are a surprising number of Joyces out there, so I > almost overlooked this notice.
