<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>Today is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Scalapino"><span style='color:black; mso-themecolor:text1'>Leslie Scalapino&#8217;s</span></a> birthday. She would have been 66, a number that would have interested her not at all. Because we grew up in neighboring towns, she is someone who has been an integral part of my world as long as I can remember. We gave a couple of readings together &#8211; one of which drew exactly three people at the University of San Francisco. It was a great reading, actually, although only she &amp; I may have known that. And we had at least one deep &amp; long-term disagreement, which we carried out in print, &amp; the result of which was that we became friends for life. Since she&#8217;s died, it&#8217;s her voice that has come back to me repeatedly, the way she always said &#8220;Hi&#8221; as though it were a question, with just a hint of laughter half-hidden in the vowel. Nobody else I&#8217;ve ever known said hello in quite such a signature fashion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>So today I want <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>hear her </i>more than anything. I want to point to a couple of Leslie&#8217;s readings &amp; discussions that are available through <a href="http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Scalapino.php"><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>PennSound</span></a>. The first is a reading Leslie gave at Kelly Writers House in November, 2007, introduced by Charles Bernstein &amp; -- and this is unique &#8211; followed by nearly an hour and one-half of discussion with the audience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>Next <span class=GramE>come</span> a pair of shows that Leslie recorded as part of <a href="http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Schwartz.html"><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>Leonard Schwartz&#8217;</span></a> fabled radio program, <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/XCP.php"><span style='color:black; mso-themecolor:text1'>Cross-Cultural Poetics</span></a>, </i>from KAOS-FM at Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington. The first is episode 35 &#8211; there are over 200 of these programs recorded since 2003 available on PennSound, a great deep record of contemporary poetics. Leslie reads from <span class=title><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/0942996453/its-go-inquiet-illumined-grassland.aspx"><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>It's go in / quiet illumined grass / land</span></a></i>. </span>In addition to Leslie, there are segments that include Mary Margaret Sloan discussing <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Moving Borders, </i>the landmark anthology of innovative writing by women, and a poem by Judith Roche. I like situating Leslie&#8217;s work in this larger context. The second is Leslie&#8217;s portion of episode 95 in which Leslie reads from &amp; discusses <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><a href="http://www.upne.com/0-8195-6355-2.html"><span style='color:black; mso-themecolor:text1'>New Time</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black;mso-themecolor:text1'>It&#8217;s worth noting <span class=GramE>that</span> ten years ago, you would not have been able to get such resources as these at your fingertips. And given Leslie&#8217;s commitment to small presses &#8211; <a href="http://bit.ly/cm2PMz"><span style='color:black; mso-themecolor:text1'>SPD&#8217;s catalog lists 32 books</span></a>, which doesn&#8217;t include the volumes from Wesleyan, for example &#8211; finding her writing itself would have been hard enough. Now, however, we have no excuse should we ever let ourselves forget Leslie Scalapino&#8217;s extraordinary contributions to the community of poetry, and beyond.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Responses to my reading of
Jennifer Moxley&#8217;s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Sense Record </i>fell
rather evenly into three categories:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span></span>&lt;![endif]&gt;<span style="font-family: Arial;">People who liked
my reading &amp; like her work &amp; were glad to see that this was shared<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -.25in;">
&lt;![if !supportLists]&gt;<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&#167;<span style="font: 7.0pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span></span>&lt;![endif]&gt;<span style="font-family: Arial;">People who
thought my reading was way off, because I didn&#8217;t see her poetry as a mode of
deadpan humor<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -.25in;">
&lt;![if !supportLists]&gt;<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&#167;<span style="font: 7.0pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span></span>&lt;![endif]&gt;<span style="font-family: Arial;">People who
agreed with my assessment that her work is serious, but don&#8217;t much care for it,
at least in part because of its seriousness<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Those diverse reactions
combined with my own positive response to Pattie McCarthy even as I admit that
there are places where her interest in medieval Christian concerns leads her that
I can&#8217;t (or don&#8217;t) follow <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and with</i></span>
<st1:personname><span style="font-family: Arial;">Gary Sullivan</span></st1:personname><span style="font-family: Arial;">&#8217;s most revealing comment yesterday that, when he was
a mere lad, he used to find Woody Allen, </span><st1:personname><span style="font-family: Arial;">Don</span></st1:personname><span style="font-family: Arial;">ald Barthelme or <span class="SpellE">Firesign</span> Theater <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">more funny</i> before he learned what they
were riffing on. These diverse experiences all ring what for me is by now a
rather old bell, a 1981 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Parnassus </i>review
in which Peter Schjeldahl effusively praised the poetry of Joe Ceravolo even
though &#8220;I rarely know what he is talking about.&#8221;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">All of these items share in
common the problem of how one receives and deals with the unfamiliar.
Sometimes, as with Sullivan&#8217;s laughter at <span class="SpellE">Firesign</span>
Theatre, we welcome it. But other times not. My own sense of the responses I&#8217;ve
heard toward Moxley&#8217;s work is that the more skeptical positions sound almost
identical to comments I recall hearing a quarter century ago directed at the
work of another new poet who was coming forward with an unconventional but
distinct sense of style, Leslie Scalapino. Moxley &amp; Scalapino are radically
different poets, but their position vis-à-vis the poetry world strikes me as
not dissimilar. Each can, simply by their practice, be read as a critique of
their generational scene as it is constituted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Twenty-six years after the
publication of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Woman Who Could Read
the Minds of Dogs,</i> Leslie Scalapino has demonstrated beyond any doubt the
wisdom &amp; power behind strategies that once seemed to many oblique or simply
obscure for the sake of obscurity. If Scalapino has required patience on the
part of her audience, she has rewarded them (us) for sticking with it
handsomely. Her argument, to call it such, is a vision of literature that is
virtually panoptic. <span class="GramE">To catch only a glimpse of it in some
ways is just sort of a teaser &#8211; it makes greater sense to take as much in as
possible, so that the references &amp; key points accumulate.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Moxley&#8217;s long sentences
&amp; deliberately neutral vocabulary strike me as being as integral to her
project as poet as Scalapino&#8217;s syntactic angling is to hers. I can see not
buying any of it &#8211; no reader is going to &#8220;get&#8221; all poets. I know that I will
always find William Bronk torturous and I have yet to figure out, after all
these years, why Gustaf Sobin seems important to so many other writers I know.
So, in a sense, I find myself thinking of the people who take Moxley seriously,
but opt out at that point, as being &#8220;better&#8221; readers of her than fans who think
it&#8217;s a spoof.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This passage moves not in
one but two profoundly opposite directions. Up to the word &#8220;you,&#8221; every single
line is enjambed &#8211; after it, none are. It is right at that word also that the
first step away from the left-hand margin occurs in this sentence, as though
the second-person pronoun were a literal hinge to this statement. In fact, it
makes great sense to look at this sentence having just such a fulcrum. Before
it, in five lines, all cemented to the left margin, we have 33 words, only
three of which are even two syllables long. After it, we have 23 words spread
out over six lines, 23 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">long </i>words.
Two have five syllables, two others have four. The second half of this sentence
only twice returns fully to the margin, each time to register a verb that will
carry the next major chain of syntax. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There is a chain of sound as
well, following principally through the deployment of vowels, especially &#8220;o.&#8221;
Thus the long &#8220;o&#8221; in the first half carries both &#8220;spoke&#8221; and &#8220;home&#8221; into that
terminal &#8220;so&#8221; &#8211; the most important word in the first part of the </span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial;">tex</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-family: Arial;">t, a tone that gets heightened measurably in the
concluding portion. The use of &#8220;o&#8221; becomes far more complex here &#8211; the &#8220;<span class="SpellE">ou</span>&#8221; combinations emerging to carry the thrust of the idea
in the final couplet. But <span class="GramE">Moxley won&#8217;t let us <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> hear that term &#8220;lonely,&#8221; the
section&#8217;s melody of &#8220;o&#8221; sounds challenged by a contrary rain of short &#8220;<span class="SpellE">i</span>&#8221; combinations, &#8220;in&#8221; and &#8220;is.&#8221;</span> That hiss in good
part is why &#8220;in-<span class="GramE"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">commiserate</i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">&#8221; </i>rather than &#8220;incommensurate&#8221; is the
right word at that moment in the </span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial;">tex</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-family: Arial;">t. One need only note the number of &#8220;o&#8221; and
&#8220;o&#8221;-combination syllables appear in this sentence compared with, say, those for
&#8220;a&#8221; and &#8220;e.&#8221; <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Yet if one reads this
sentence as bald text without hearing its remarkable articulation of vowels,
without registering enjambments &amp; end stops, it might prove to be all but
invisible as language. It&#8217;s a fabulous moment in the history of formal devices
&amp; really one of the great aesthetic flourishes in recent poetry &#8211; but in
the same moment, it&#8217;s also a test of the reader &amp; the levels of attention
they bring to the poem. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
