But since I didn&#8217;t get to read it at Poets House, here is my section from the next <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Grand Piano, </i>which should be out in a week or two. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>SOMETIME AROUND late 1967, a then recent graduate of Bard, David Perry, arrived in San Francisco State&#8217;s creative writing program &amp; he &amp; I quickly discovered that we shared an enthusiasm for the work of Robert Kelly &amp; the many poets Kelly had been teaching, basically <i>The New American Poetry</i>. David also knew all the recent Bard College grads who either lived in the Bay Area (John Gorham, Harvey Bialy) or were visiting (Tom Meyer, still then a teenager I believe). One day very early in &#8217;68, David convinced me that we had to go to the Albany Public Library to hear Bialy read. It was the very place where I&#8217;d first discovered poetry some six years earlier, but I hadn&#8217;t set foot in that building on Solano since I&#8217;d left home, so for me the reading was already laden with symbolic power before Paul Mariah, who curated the series there, introduced the readers. Bialy was fine, maybe a little quieter than I&#8217;d expected, but it was the poet reading with him, somebody I&#8217;d never heard of before, who blew me away. David Bromige was tall with a long face, a resonant baritone, a mastery of syntax that I had not found anywhere, even in the work of Robert Duncan, &amp; a ready, almost twinkly wit that gave me the impression that had Charles Dickens been alive and a New American poet, he would have been very much like this fellow. It was a stunning, eye-opening performance &amp; I vowed to get to know this poet.</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>1</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt'> </span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>At thirty-five, Bromige was a grad student at Berkeley, writing a dissertation on the Black Mountain poets, far more widely read than I &amp; just a little suspicious of the motives of twenty-one-year-olds. He lived in a cottage apartment with his then-wife, fiction writer Sherril Jaffe, just north of the campus, not far from Josephine Miles&#8217;s place &amp; a short walk to Serendipity Books, which in those days encompassed not only the rare books business it is today, but a bookstore &amp; the distribution operations that subsequently evolved into SPD. I would meet David at his place or at Serendipity, or we would walk over to a beer &amp; pizza den on Shattuck just off University &amp; have long discussions, part gossip, part theory.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>Our positions in those days were not at all equivalent. Having already had poems accepted by <i>Poetry</i>, <i>TriQuarterly</i>, <i>Chicago Review </i>&amp; the like, I was full of myself, hyperconscious of my status as a &#8220;published poet,&#8221; which was somewhat unusual among undergraduates even at San Francisco State. But I was also painfully aware of just how hollow all of that truly was &amp; appalled&#8212;daily!&#8212;at how little I knew &amp; how much I had yet to learn. Not that I</span> <span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>would have admitted that to anyone, least of all myself. Compared with David Bromige, I was an absolute beginner. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>As the 60s gave way to the next decade, the grand pooh-bah of poetry in the Bay Area was manifestly Robert Duncan, who was only too happy to remind you of this himself. Of all the poets around him, David was by far the most accomplished, most published, most widely read. David already had four books: <i>The Gathering</i>, <i>The Ends of the Earth</i>, <i>The Quivering Roadway </i>&amp; <i>Please, Like Me</i>. Two of these volumes were from Black Sparrow Press, a &#8220;big&#8221; small press publisher that aimed to be more to be like New Directions or City Lights than, say, White Rabbit or Oyez. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>To read more, pick up the 9<sup>th</sup> volume of the <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://thegrandpiano.org/order.html"><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>Grand Piano</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-no-proof:no'>1. Nor did this prove to be my only important discovery that evening. Hitchhiking back to my apartment by Lake Merrit in Oakland, I caught a ride with someone who recognized me from the reading&#8212;David Melnick. Forty-one years later, I&#8217;m actively involved in editing the collected works of both Davids.</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>Jack Krick is an old friend, a one-time colleague of mine at IBM, the primary volunteer these days responsible for updates and expansions to the Electronic Poetry Center, and a resident in a large old<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span>craftsman-era masterpiece of a house maybe half an hour south of here. About once every month or two, Jack has evenings with readings &amp; music. On Saturday, Colin &amp; I headed down to Jack&#8217;s to hear the latest installment. We didn&#8217;t get to stay the entire time, but did get to hear <a href="http://ryaneckes.blogspot.com/"><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>Ryan Eckes</span></a> &amp; <a href="http://kimgeklin.blogspot.com/"><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>Kim Get Lin Short</span></a> give great readings. You can read some of Eckes&#8217; <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Common Sense </i>series, which he read from, by clicking the link under his name. <span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>There was also an amazing performance by master improvisational percussionist <a href="http://www.toshimakihara.com/"><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>Toshi Makihara</span></a>. Makihara tackles the drums with the inventiveness of a Cecil Taylor or Jimi Hendrix &#8211; anything the equipment can do is fair game. He&#8217;s played with everyone from John Zorn, Nels Cline, Eugene Chadbourne (who is to the electric rake what Makihara is to the drums), William Parker, Amy Denio &amp; Thurston Moore. On Saturday he used everything from his feet to blank CDs wedged into a spring (stretched over the drum) to a slinky as he played three, or maybe 3.5 pieces on the little green side drum he uses in his his Solo365 project, about which more below. Makihara explained that while most drummers add drums to expand their range, the sounds they can achieve, he has lately been trying to do so the other way, by expanding what he brings to the drumhead. He also commented that he thinks of the drumhead as a stage and that his work with dancers &#8211; he has been collaboraing with the <a href="http://www.leahsteindance.org/"><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>Leah Stein Dance Company</span></a> for over twenty years &#8211; informs how he understands this space. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>You can get a great sense of all this by checking out Makihara&#8217;s <a href="//www.youtube.com/Solo365Project"><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>YouTube channel</span></a>. He&#8217;s currently putting up roughly <a href="http://citypaper.net/articles/2009/03/05/toshi-makihara-solo365-project"><span style='color:#0D0D0D;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-themetint:242'>one improvisation every day this year</span></a> &#8211; I haven&#8217;t found one yet that didn&#8217;t totally transport me &#8211; which by now is turning into an amazing body (pun intended) of work! Here&#8217;s a piece he recorded earlier last Saturday:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>(As it was I didn&#8217;t have the time to make it to the Tate Liverpool or down to the docks, for which Liverpool is justly famous, though I did take in the <a href="http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/walker/"><span style='color:black'>Walker Art Gallery</span></a> and got to see just how the Beatles have become for Liverpool what San Francisco&#8217;s more-or-less nonexistent commercial sea trade is to that city&#8217;s Fishermen&#8217;s Wharf. If anything, the Cavern District, so called, is even tackier, with one bar named Revolution, multiple other pubs making similar (if less creative) claims for association, a converted bank building turned into the <a href="http://www.harddaysnighthotel.com/"><span style='color:black'>Hard Day&#8217;s Night Hotel</span></a> &#8211; complete with statues of the <span class=SpellE>Fab</span> Four a couple of <span class=SpellE>storeys</span> up as if they were Italian saints. Across from the original doors to the Cavern Club a <span class=SpellE>busker</span> was dutifully performing &#8220;Norwegian Wood.&#8221; And the recreated club itself (it was torn down until the city fathers realized what a mistake that was) is indeed a dank place with a tiny stage, albeit when I was there one college-age kid after another was taking turns sitting at the drum set to have their picture taken. Both Rory Gallagher and Mick Taylor are booked to play there on different nights this month &amp; one hopes that they&#8217;re doing so for pleasure. I&#8217;m told there is a <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Beatles</st1:PlaceName>
 <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Museum</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, but I would have chosen the Tate if I&#8217;d time for a second one of those.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>I was pleased with myself at the moment I strode past the <span class=SpellE>Rylands</span>, having just seen a copy of <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>The Alphabet </i>in the <span class=SpellE>Waterstones</span> on <span class=SpellE>Deaconsgate</span>, and having picked up a copy of Tony Lopez&#8217; <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://www.saltpublishing.com/books/smp/9781844713387.htm"><span class=GramE><span style='color:black'>Covers</span></span></a> </i>there. The poetry section there still suffers from the &#8220;furthest from the front door&#8221; syndrome so typical of bookstores in the states, but just in terms of pure shelf footage, it was maybe double what one expects to find at a Borders or Barnes &amp; Noble, and with a fair amount of diversity. There were several titles from <a href="http://www.saltpublishing.com/"><span style='color:black'>Salt</span></a> readily visible, as well as the usual, including a volume (but only one) by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Ann_Duffy"><span style='color:black'>Carol Ann Duffy</span></a>, who soon would be fulfilling the bookies&#8217; predictions when she was named <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/02/world/europe/02poet.html?_r=1&amp;ref=global-home"><span style='color:black'>Poet Laureate</span></a>, the first woman appointed to the position in its 341-year history. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Back at the hotel, as poets, artists &amp; <span class=SpellE>turntablists</span> gathered for the ride out to Bury, one British poet put it to me this way:<o:p></o:p></span></p> 

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>She really is the best choice, the only sensible one. She will be an advocate for poetry, and that&#8217;s all you can ask from a position like that. She&#8217;s smart and accessible, so that helps. Even Andrew Motion, who is not nearly the poet she is, was an advocate, so in that sense he was a good laureate. He was willing to argue for difficulty. I cannot imagine that any poet whose work we liked better would have any interest in taking on the tasks that position requires. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>In Bury, about 100 people turned up for the official opening of the <a href="http://blogs.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/themancunianway/2009/04/blog_of_the_week_6.html"><span style='color:black'>Text Festival</span></a>, which was fun and totally successful as an event. Geof Huth has already done an excellent job <a href="http://dbqp.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-you-play-is-what-you-are.html"><span style='color:black'>documenting it</span></a> on his blog, so I will add only that Geof gave a terrific reading in bare feet, proving yet again that visual poets are indeed poets in every sense of the word &#8211; he even concluded with a song based on one of his texts that reminded me, more than anything, of Jerry Rothenberg&#8217;s interpretations of the Navajo Horse Songs of Frank Mitchell (scroll down <a href="http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Rothenberg.html"><span style='color:black'>here</span></a>). Geof has also <span class=SpellE>blogged</span> the exhibition itself <a href="http://dbqp.blogspot.com/2009/04/signs-in-time-signs-in-space-signs-of.html"><span style='color:black'>here</span></a>, and curator-impresario-wizard <a href="http://tony-trehy.blogspot.com/"><span style='color:black'>Tony <span class=SpellE>Trehy</span></span></a> has been doing so throughout. <a href="http://santiagosdeadwasp.blogspot.com/2009/05/and-so-text-festival-proper-begins.html"><span style='color:black'>Matt <span class=SpellE>Dalby&#8217;s</span> blog</span></a> is also quite good. I have to note that I really enjoyed the evening of poetry films presented by <a href="http://www.amproductions.com/videos/artsandsci/videopoetry/PoetryPerformance.html"><span style='color:black'>Tom <span class=SpellE>Konyves</span></span></a> on Thursday, and was blown away by <span class=SpellE>Nico</span> <span class=SpellE>Vassilakis</span>&#8217; <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://tinyurl.com/cgajzc"><span class=SpellE><span style='color:black'>FoC</span></span></a> </i>on the big screen, in a somewhat longer version than the <span class=SpellE>YouTube</span> clip. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>By the time you read this there will have been two additional events, an afternoon of readings of works commissioned on the subject of Bury itself, and my own reading last night. I recommend that you check out Geof, Tony &amp; Matt&#8217;s blogs for reports of those. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
