Blind Witness News (1990) and The Lenny =20= Paschen Show (1992) used the typical format of late-night TV, while =20 The Subject (1991) starts with a psychoanalytic session. Lenny is the final work of the trilogy. Much of the opening monologue, =20= to be presented at this event, was cut, for reasons of length, from =20 the final libretto. In its typical process of canceling sense, television is, of course, =20 the offense to meaning that is addressed in The Lenny Paschen Show. =20 Lenny Paschen is a gladiator in an electronic age=97a hot fighter in a =20= cool medium (and he may also cut against the grain of the lyric =20 impulse within opera). Lenny is trapped from the start, yet his =20 struggle for moral discourse makes this opera a fin de millennia =20 version of Die Meistersinger=97sans masters, sans paradise, all songs. =20= Lenny seems to preach that we can get beyond the puppetry of TV =20 personas, but, as he also insists, he remains a puppet of his own =20 devices. The Lenny Paschen Show uses the tools at hand, especially the =20= tradition of black, often abrasive, comedy to explore the worlds =20 flaunted by, and also hidden within, one of the central formats of =20 commercial TV. Charles Bernstein=92s books include Blind Witness: Three American Operas = =20 (Factory School), new in 2008; Girly Man (University of Chicago =20 Press), now in paperback; Shadowtime (Green Integer), libretto for an =20= opera on Benjamin; Republics of Reality: 1975-1995 (Sun & Moor Press), =20= Content's Dream: Essays 1975-1984 (Northwestern), and Controlling =20 Interests (Roof). He is Donald T. Regan Professor of English and =20 Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. **Charles Borkhuis http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Borkhuis.php Barely There A woman finds herself having retreated into her =93inner cave=94 with = her =20 invisible =93power animal=94 ROAR-SHOCK by her side. It is a little bit = of =20 Paradise where she tries to relax, forget her problems, and just =20 chill. But as an actor, she treats her =93inner cave=94 as a proscenium =20= stage with an attendant audience, for whom she performs herself, =20 trying to win their acceptance and recognition. Yet once performing, =20 she must account for herself. Even though she has no back-story or =20 =93character=94 as such, she keeps peeling away layers of her presence = in =20 an attempt to be remembered before the lights go down. Charles Borkhuis is a playwright, poet, screenwriter, and essayist. =20 His books of poems include Afterimage, Savoir-fear, Alpha Ruins, =20 Proximity (Stolen Arrows), Dinner with Franz, and Hypnogogic Sonnets. =20= Fanny Howe selected Alpha Ruins as a finalist for the William Carlos =20 Williams Book Award. Disappearing Acts is his latest book of poems. =20 His essays on contemporary poetics have appeared in Telling it Slant =20 and We Who Love to Be Astonished (University of Alabama Press).

To learn more about us, go here: http://www.ballonafriends.org. One of the conditions of my signing was that I wanted the Friends to start a blog, which I hope will be a DAILY destination for people who care about wetlands preservation and the larger environmental/crisis of soul issues that arise from habitat loss, urbanization, etc. It's a broad subject, and I will interpret it broadly. The Friends board has approved my request to edit a five-to-seven-day-a-wee= k daily "magazine," to begin soon, with different segments/columnists each day, like Monday essays, Tuesday local Ballona sightings and news, Wednesda= y local history, Thursday FAQs about wetlands (what's an "indicator species?" etc.), Friday poetry, Saturday Best of Reader Contributions, and, maybe eve= n Sunday Comix and Opinion. Thus, this appeal to you for new, unpublished work, in poetry, fiction, essays, art, book reviews, or even comics, that is somehow wetlands, estuary, swamp, bog, fen, river, ocean, etc., oriented. Forests are probabl= y out, since we're a wetlands in a semi-desert ecosystem. I'd like to publish your original work (at the usual non-profit, hat-in-hand rates, i.e. free) on the blog, and potentially in a "Best Of" hard-copy anthology. Those rights only; all other rights are yours. I can offer a reciprocal link to your blog, website, or book site, so you benefit from networking. Also, given enough notice, I often help out-of-town poets I admire book readings in Los Angeles or San Francisco. And finally, The Friends have a few events of our own coming up, and I am trying to shake loose funding from donors to pay readers. Our blog audience is people who are concerned about environmental issues, and who have varying degrees of literary sophistication. I don't know that concrete poetry will work, or that most of them could slog through *The Cantos* without a playbook, but I am certain that (off the top of my head, in no particular order) *In a Station of the Metro* would fly, as would Stevens' *Anecdote of Men By the Thousands*, Rilke's *The Way In*, Oliver's *Some Questions You Might Ask*, Pattiann Rogers' *Dream of the Marsh Wren*, Abani's *Muir Woods*, Kabir's *The Clay Jug*, Lisa Jarnot's *Everything I Know About Corn*, Yusef Komunyakaa's *Ode to the Maggot*, Harryette Mullen'= s *Kills Bugs Dead*, Ritsos' *The Models*, Levertov's *The Reminder*, Ursula K. Le Guin's *Riding on the Coast Starlight*, Richard Shelton's *Sonora for Sale*, David St. John's *Iris, *even Jack Gilbert's *Haunted Importantly* =85etc. My bias is toward "ecopoetry," which is not nature poetry, per se, but much harder to define. James Englehardt, in an essay in Octopus Magazine < http://www.octopusmagazine.com/issue09/engelhardt.htm>, suggests this: The ecopoem is connected to the world, and this implies responsibility. Like other poetic models that assume a connection and engagement (feminism, Marxism, witness, etc.), ecopoetry is surrounded by questions of ethics. Should the ecopoem *do* something in the world? But how can a poem be said to accomplish anything? Scott Bryson's book "Ecopoetry" also has a number of wonderful essays and definitions. But don't get too hung up in definitions; I'll know what I like when I see it. As for essayists, I'm looking for the next Wendell Berry, Barry Lopez, Oliver Sacks, Lewis Thomas, Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan, Bill McKibben, Michael Pollan, Terry Tempest Williams, Susan Griffin=97or all of *them* an= d more. Good, straight-ahead stylists who combine clarity, lyricism, and science. As for fiction, I'm on less firm ground as an editor, but Kaaren Kitchell, Antioch MFA and member of WOMPO, will be our fiction editor, so your work i= s in good hands. AND, if you write reviews, I'm interested specifically in your reviews of poetry collections that advance the craft and push the boundaries of "nature" or "ecopoetry." We have plenty of local photography, but if you have fine art or illustrations, feel free to submit those or direct me to where on the Web I can secure a quality JPEG. I already have poetry submissions from Annie Finch, Janet Burroway, Ron Koertge, Tony Barnstone, Ann Fisher-Wirth, Christopher Merrill, Ellen Bass, C.J. Sage and Linda Pastan, to name just a handful, so you will be in good company. While I'm writing to you from a specific, unique place, the Ballona Wetlands, consider my request an appeal from a juncture, if you will, of soul and territory, a juncture that calls to mind one of my favorite quotes from the poet/essayist Wendell Berry: *This is the phenomenon of edge or margin that we know to be one of the powerful attractions of a diversified landscape, both to wildlife and to humans. The human eye itself seems drawn to such margins, hungering for th= e difference made in the countryside by a hedgy fencerow, a stream, or a grov= e of trees. And we know that these margins are biologically rich, the meetin= g of two kinds of habitat.*** Write to me from the rich margins where you and the outer world overlap. A= s Novalis wrote, *The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer= * * **world meet. Where they overlap, it is in every point of the** ** overlap.* To the mundane: Please submit, if you choose, documents in Microsoft Word, any version before 2008. I'm not sure we'll be able to deal with complex formatting in poems, but I'll do my best. MANDATORY: With your submission, write me a paragraph about your nearest estuary, wetlands, swamp, bog, fen or most inspiring body of water to run in the introduction to your piece, and tell ME specifically where it is. I would like to link our readers to the specific natural place that most moves and inspires our contributors. I may even put in a Google Map link to the area (one of our contributors, Michael Salcman, sails Chesapeake Bay, for example; Janet Burroway walks in Florida), as I would if I were running (I wish, but I don't know how to reach her yet) a Mary Oliver poem and would spotlight Provincetown on Cape Cod. Again, if you want to see what the blog will look like, it will resemble th= e rest of our site, http://www.ballonafriends.org. I look forward to receiving your work.

He is also the author of Advanced Elvis Course (Soft Skull Press, 2009), (Soma)tic Midge (Faux Press, 2008), Deviant Propulsion (Soft Skull Press, 2006), and a forthcoming collaboration with poet Frank Sherlock titled THE CITY REAL & IMAGINED: Philadelphia Poems (Factory School Books, 2010).

Saturday September 12, 2009 at 935 Natoma Street in San Francisco (btwn. 10th and 11th and btwn. Mission and Howard) Close to Van Ness and Market (Muni) or Civic Center (BART) admission $25/$20 for SPT members and students This from the leaders: The City Real & Imagined project is a collaborative documentary of both concrete and psychic place, exercising imaginations that are shared in the commons. It is at heart a working of public space in a time of post-9/11 hegemonic decline. Preparations for the death of Baghdad's children had begun, and the displacement of the working poor in Philadelphia was already underway. Two poets with very different experiences within the same city they share wandered together to let the streets shape the form of the poem with its histories and possibilities. CAConrad and Frank Sherlock will discuss their influences and approaches to the project, the collaborative process, and the mutual impact on their re-imaginings of the Philadelphia they live in.

You may order the book from our web site at http://chax.org, or telephone us at 520-620-1626. Reviews: In *Presocratic Blues* the presocratics walk among us, obsessed with the everyday: the rain, the bar, the blues. And the poems that result are full of correspondence, of discovery in the Spicerian sense. These are poems tha= t remind us that behind every simple moment is a larger question about the universe and humanity=E2=80=99s place in it.=E2=80=A8=E2=80=94 Juliana Spah= r In *Presocratic Blues*, Joel Bettridge takes us back home, back to that poo= r old actuality at the presocratic horizon of thought and matter. But we are no happier for it. We go down to the river, a Heraclitan flux that just keeps rolling, witness to despair and wicked deeds. These are sharply intelligent poems, full of acerbic wit, absurdity, and heartbreak. =E2=80= =94 Devin Johnston We breathe in Greek and exhale the pure products of Americana; a vernacular philosophy. Joel Bettridge not only knows this but has strummed it in poems witty, raucous, and bluesy. =E2=80=94 Charles Bernstein Back Cover: We now call them the Presocratics. Their writings come down to us in pieces= : Heraclitus claimed, =E2=80=9CYou cannot step twice into the same river, for= other waters and yet others go ever flowing on=E2=80=9D; we have Zeno arguing tha= t motion does not exist, an arrow needing to go halfway to the target before strikin= g it, but needing to go half way of that half way first, and so on. In how they were right in the wrongest ways, and wrong in the rightest we hear our better thoughts; their fragments call to mind the blues: in their graves perhaps, these philosophers hear themselves in its songs, for their singers= , too, glimpsed instances, like heartbreak, exhaustion, being broke, or drunk= , or trying to hold onto a faith; in these Hellenistic remnants we hear the echoes of Blind Willie Johnson=E2=80=99s apologetics and Bessie Smith=E2=80= =99s epistemology of love. Anaxagoras also sang on steps advising passersby that all objects contain elements of all other objects: the much bigger, for instance, has the small in it, but it has mostly huge. They, like us, were between religion and science=E2=80=94between the mysticism of the everyday and the = shifting ground of understanding.

Soundmarks during this soundwalk will include the chainlink fence along the perimeter of the Michael Reese Hospital campus; the wind in the trees in front of the Singer Pavilion; a security guard's car tires rolling over gravel on the MRH campus; traffic on Lake Shore Drive; demolition and earthmoving equipment being operated at MRH; bikers, pedestrians, and automobile drivers/passengers on the streets by MRH; and trains traveling the north-south tracks (between MRH and LSD). This soundwalk will start on the northwest corner of 31st St. and Cottage Grove Dr. We will walk along the fenced-in perimeter of the MRH campus in a clockwise direction, and then we will turn around and return to the soundwalk's starting point. This soundwalk is free and open to the public; it is being organized by Chad Clark, Jennifer Mosier, Norman Long, Eric Leonardson, and Dan Godston. Following the soundwalk, a Bauhaus9090 performance event will happen in Chicago's Bauhaus District, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Jamie Kazay, Matthew Barton, Amanda Marbais, Kevin Kilroy, and Dan Godston will read selections of their poetry. Alpha Bruton will be painting in performance. This event will happen in Lake Meadows Park (3117 S. Rhodes Ave., Chicago, IL 60616, http://tinyurl.com/mksn77). These events are free and open to the public.

Written in correspondence in May, 2005, these poems mix and remix and emerge as a unique, faceted thing. PHANTASMAL REPEATS by Guillermo Parra Spare, abstract, thoughtful, the poems in PHANTASMAL REPEATS move sneakily within an insular, ambient framework. They are self-referential to an extent but still viscerally linked to the world at large. Available in two eye-catching color schemes: red on curry or red on pool. OUT ANOTHER by Michael Carr In Michael Carr's OUT ANOTHER a mentholated wind blows the reader from deja to jamais vu and back, in a poemscape that lies distinctively in between. These poems, like continental noir, present a facade that may or may not be real. END NOTEBOOK by Geoffrey Olsen Of END NOTEBOOK, Brenda Iijima writes "Subtle ambient registrations accrue and gracefully dissipate in Geoff Olsen's End Notebook. Sensitive to atmospheric pressures these gestural phrasings shimmer. There is no subtext here but being, itself." SUMMER POEMS by Aaron Tieger Limited edition pamphlet. Short poems of heat and despair. DOKUMENT by Catherine Meng In a sequence populated by iconic and diverse figures from Peachy Peach and Glenn Gould to Bon Jovi and someone called Bullet, Meng writes a fragmentary lyricism informed by the book's epigraph (from Philip Roth): "It's impossible to report anything faithfully other than one's own temperature; everything is allegory."

But according to some notes, see page 449 of the Scroggins bio for details on the preparation of the index. Following the trail of index entries for "a," "the," and "an" is an interesting and frustrating enterprise, but it's interesting to note that initial (no pun intended) citations of "a" in the index lead us to instances related to Bach. As for "the," its first citation at page 175 quotes Paul Zukofsky saying "The horse bends down." And subsequent instance of "the" seem to associate that article with family, Paul in particular--but others might read these instances differently. Or it might all turn out to be a numerical joke. The index cites 71 instances of "a," 73 of "the," and 40 of "an." That's 184 articles, or in roman numerals CLXXXIV, which might indicate "Celia Louis 1934." Those with Poem of a Life handy might track down possible details there. According to Wickipedia, Celia and Louis met in '33, and Louis began working for the WPA (on an index, as it happens) in 1934. But Wickipedia is often imprecise. Lots of interesting things happen in the index, which invites creative speculation often difficult to support. E.g., the three words most frequently cited in the index are, in descending order, "man," "eye," and "day." Call me crazy, but to my ears, these words--while naming important "themes" in the poem--also partially echo the first words of the Iliad -- "menin aiede." If Zukofsky didn't intend this echo (and he probably didn't), he would have loved the serendipity. More on this when I get my books back. It would be fun to keep this thread alive: I don't understand why the index doesn't get more attention. Panel somewhere, anyone?

He is also the author of Advanced Elvis Course (Soft Skull Press, 2009), (Soma)tic Midge (Faux Press, 2008), Deviant Propulsion (Soft Skull Press, 2006), and a forthcoming collaboration with poet Frank Sherlock titled THE CITY REAL & IMAGINED: Philadelphia Poems (Factory School Books, 2010). CAConrad is the son of white trash asphyxiation whose childhood included selling cut flowers along the highway for his mother and helping her shoplift. He invites you to visit him online at http://caconrad.blogspot.com/ and also with his friends at http://phillysound.blogspot.com/ Frank Sherlock is the author of Over Here (Factory School 2009) and the co-author of Ready-To-Eat Individual (Lavender Ink 2008) with Brett Evans. A collaboration with CAConrad entitled The City Real & Imagined: Philadelphia Poems is forthcoming from Factory School later in January 2010. He currently works with the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program on Journeys South, a public art project that documents immigrant/migrant experiences in South Philly. __________________________________ This regarding the workshop: The City Real & Imagined project is a collaborative documentary of both concrete and psychic place, exercising imaginations that are shared in the commons. It is at heart a working of public space in a time of post-9/11 hegemonic decline. Preparations for the death of Baghdad's children had begun, and the displacement of the working poor in Philadelphia was already underway. Two poets with very different experiences within the same city they share wandered together to let the streets shape the form of the poem with its histories and possibilities. CAConrad and Frank Sherlock will discuss their influences and approaches to the project, the collaborative process, and the mutual impact on their re-imaginings of the Philadelphia they live in.

My congratulations and thanks go out to him. Congratulations because I know he has been working on this for many years and I know some of the trials and tribulations he experienced through the process. Thanks because a visual poem of mine is on the cover, the CD, and the interface to the CD-and the art is printed and presented exceptionally well. So this is not an objective notice about Jorge's book, but one from a friend of his. The book (which is in Portuguese) contains a three-page preface in English by Chris Funkhouser-who has written the first book on the history of digital poetry. Among other things, Funkhouser looks at the way Antonio explores the notion of how electronic poetry involves "negotiations with digital processes": "With software, the programming generally involves establishing frameworks in which disparate elements-whether the different elements of a visual scenario, or files that contain different verbal passages-negotiate with one another, and are negotiated by the viewer. In the creation of automatically-generated text, graphical works, or hypertexts, artists present a virtual object that the user negotiates by plotting a course through the multiple dimensions or constellations of language. When we realize that all digital poetry involves some type of link, the importance of negotiation is further heightened. In hypertext, the link (as in node-to-node connection) is the primary mechanism by which a reader negotiates text. In graphical and multimedia poems (which foreground sonic and visual elements), different elements of the works are composed together as simultaneities. Text-generators present another type of linking, between the algorithm/program and the text as it comes to the reader. Links-literal or conceptual-are always present in this extended environment; the activation of computer coding creates a textual spark that is the foundation on which any digital poem is built." Chris Funkhouser 'Navigation' is related to 'negotiation' but they aren't quite the same thing. 'Negotiation' encompasses 'navigation' but goes beyond it into dialogue and protocol, for instance. It also involves the intermedial, as Funkhouser points out, in negotiation between the elements of different media. And there are other wheels for "electronic poetry in negotiation with digital processes". Although the book is largely in Portuguese, the CD contains much material in English. There's an introduction by Jorge and, also, chapter 1 has been translated into English. Here is a passage from chapter 1: "The technopoet is put, as the romantic poet, as a technodemiurge. The romantic poet's reaction against the Industrial Revolution, creating a subjective world, ideal, paradisiacal, resembles the one of the technopoet, that, facing the technopoly is overpowering. It is a technocentric world that offers him/her also a poetic language. The central question is to subvert the technological language, transforming it into a technopoetical language. This way, the culture doesn't surrender to the technology, but it receives the poet's intervention, which turns the technology into another form of poetic communication. These procedures become, then, a poeticizing of computational technology." Jorge Luiz Antonio We might also say that the "poeticizing of computational technology" gets some blood pumping through this technological extension of humanity, turning it from a cold metal claw into something through which human fluids and feeling flow. The section of the CD that features critical/theoretical texts contains more than 100 texts that range internationally around the world from works by Jean-Pierre Balpe (in French) to Friedrich Block (he's German but the texts are in English) to Alejandro Banda (Chile), Augusto de Campos (in Portuguese), Chris Funkhouser, Eduardo Kac, Ladislao Pablo (Argentina), and many others. The CD also contains a wealth of electronic poetry and texts about the art. The poetry section contains work or works by over 200 artists. In a variety of languages. From modernist poetry to contemporary computer poetry. With emphasis on work from Brazil and South America. It's quite a remarkable resource. The CD also contains an 86-page chronology of digital poetry from 1959 to the present complete with graphics and, in many cases, links. There's also an extensive bibliography with links, on the CD. I'm very impressed with what Jorge has accomplished. Of course, I wish I understood Portuguese! But there is much English in the package-and much digital poetry that can be understood independent of any particular language. Finally, I'd like to give you contact information so you can obtain a copy of the book yourself. There are only somewhere between 250 and 500 copies of it available, and you have to contact Jorge himself to get a copy, although the book will be published in a bilingual edition, at some point, in the USA. Jorge's email address is jlantonio@uol.com.br . Jorge says "People can buy the book on line by asking me. There are three ways to send money: PayPal account, bank transference, and post office international payment order. The other alternative is to offer an exchange of books and/or CD-ROMs." You might also want to visit his blog at http://jlantonio.blog.uol.com.br .

It is a taut, intricately interwoven series of poems that presents an unsentimental yet harrowing encounter with the finality of life: "where do we go / but to die into immunity in this life / the thousand deaths that evolve us." Roberson is a recent recipient of the Poetry Society of America's Shelley Memorial Award. Norman Fischer's Questions/Places/Voices/Seasons: Norman Fischer's Questions/Places/Voices/Seasons (ISBN 978-0-935162-43-1, $16, 180 pp.) continues and expands the innovative meditational poetry he has explored in earlier books, such as Slowly but Dearly and I Was Blown Back. The two long serial poems that anchor Questions/Places/Voices/Seasons, "Charlotte's Way" and "Seasons," will feel quite familiar to Fischer's readers. But he also inaugurates a new form of writing in this book in which he inhabits the voices of others, such as Alberto Caeiro, Reb Yosl of Kemenetz, Elena Rivera, and Saigyo Hoshi.

By Peter Gleick, Pacific Institute Alternet.org - Posted on September 10, 2009 http://www.alternet.org/story/142520/ As more and more of the world looks to knowledge, education and science as the routes out of poverty and conflict, parts of America seems to be slipping back toward the Dark Ages, when fear of knowledge and science led to an impoverishment of civilization that had lasting effects for centuries. I've recently returned from two weeks in northern Europe, and a series of scientific water meetings and discussions with people from over 130 countries. They read the news from the United States with incredulity. America is still seen as the place to come for aspiring students and scientists around the world. Our public universities, despite assaults on budgets, independence and knowledge, still struggle to maintain their excellence. But my friends and colleagues from overseas are increasingly shocked, as are many of us in the U.S., by the expanding efforts of home-grown extremists to undermine rational discourse, eliminate the use of fact and science in policymaking, and shut down public debate over the vital issues of our times through hate, vitriol, and ad hominem attacks. Looking through the eyes of my overseas colleagues, what do we see? We see a debate over providing health care to every American that is based -- not on facts or civilized discourse -- but on screaming mobs shutting down public discussions and the use of straw man arguments to promote fear among the public and policymakers. Yet every major country of Europe provides basic health care for its population. We see President Obama appoint one of the nation's best scientists in the areas of energy, environment, and national security -- Dr. John Holdren -- to be his Science Advisor, and then have right-wing mouthpieces like Glenn Beck spread ad hominem lies about him because of their fear that facts and actual science may once again inform presidential action. This should be a recognizable tactic to us -- lying about a person to diminish their effectiveness. In fact, these extremists want to undermine the forward-looking policies that would prevent the very draconian measures they say they deplore. We see unambiguous evidence that climate change is already affecting human health and the global economy -- evidence often collected by world-leading American scientists and scientific institutions -- while public opinion polls show that the American people continue to be misled about the risks facing us by conservative pundits who ignore, misunderstand, or intentionally misuse that science to mislead the public into fear of change. Yet we already see huge economic and environmental opportunities in adapting to the reality of climate change. Fear is an effective tool -- as hate groups and extremists know. It is no accident that repressive regimes of all kinds -- fascists, the Nazis, Stalin, religious states, madrasses -- use tools of hatred, anti-intellectualism, and fear to control knowledge, universities, and intellectuals. Fear grows best when sown in fields of ignorance, while science, rationality, and education are the greatest weapons modern societies have against irrational fear. No wonder Beck and his ilk have intellectuals in their sights; so do the leaders of Iran, and Burma, and the Taliban, and North Korea, for similar reasons. What does this have to do with water -- the ostensible focus of my blog? Nothing and everything. I try to focus on numbers here and what they mean for international and local water issues. Yet water policy, or any policy, must also be based on rationality, facts, and civil discourse. Similarly, solving any bad water contamination problem requires one of two approaches: don't let the contamination into our water supply in the first place, or apply the right filters to clean it up when it does. The same rule applies to those who would pollute our public discourse with hate and noise: don't let their vitriol into our media supply or filter it out before it can poison our democracy.

Edited by Cara Benson, with contributors Paul Raskin, Bar= t Bridger Woodstrup, Julie Sadler, David Zuga, Jason Zuga, and Monica de la= Torre. As is painfully obvious for many a religious leader and many a psyc= hic, predicting the future is an indeterminate business. The work collected= in PREDICTIONS takes that indeterminancy as a starting point and celebrate= s it. A futurist points to how the question of the future, once a matter fo= r dreamers and philosophers, has moved to the center of development and sci= entific agendas. Several artists, well aware that accelerating changes to t= he environment require that we learn quickly, suggest how art might help us= to understand and to rethink the interface between old technologies and ne= w technologies in this time of environmental crisis. A writer and a scienti= st team up to tell an alternate story of evolution.

Poetry and Magic =AD Mitch Highfill Mitch Highfill will be teaching a ten-week long Friday evening workshop, beginning October 9, 2009. The class will meet in the Parish Hall from 7-9pm. This workshop takes the work of Jack Spicer and =B3the practice of the outside=B2 as a starting point. We will explore different technologies long associated with magic (technologies such as spells, sigils and divination) to generate writing, both in and out of the workshop setting. We will work with sources as diverse as Gerard de Nerval, Christopher Dewdney and W.S. Burroughs. A magical approach to poetics will include such concepts as the Muse, the Duende and the lore accompanying these ideas. The goal here is to gain access to writing that is not limited by the habits of personality or the predilections of the poet, but can expand our ranges to include what Robin Blaser called the outside. We might also consider the more mundane bu= t equally interesting usage of the word magic, that is to say, sleight of hand, or prestidigitation. What does a stage magician have in common with the writer? There will be lots of reading and writing in this workshop. Mitch Highfill is a poet and Tarot consultant who lives in Brooklyn. He is the author of several books, including Moth Light (Abraham Lincoln) and REBIS (Open Mouth). Drawing the Boundaries of a Fire =AD Paolo Javier Paolo Javier will be teaching a ten-week long Saturday afternoon workshop, beginning October 10, 2009. The class will meet in the Parish Hall from 12-= 2 pm. Since the advent of the modern cartoon strip, poets, artists, and poet-artists alike have turned to its language as a vital source for innovation in their own practice. We will explore such a tradition.=A0The presence of the poetic in the modern comic book will be a focus of our writing and discussion, and we will experiment with its potential through a diverse practice.=A0Collaboration between participants will be required for selected exercises, and encouraged throughout the workshop.=A0 Paolo Javier is the author of LMFAO (OMG!), Goldfish Kisses (Sona Books), 6= 0 lv bo(e)mbs (O Books), and the time at the end of this writing (Ahadada Books). He is currently working on OBB,=A0a multimedia poetry comic, with artist Ernest Concepcion, and publishes 2nd Ave Poetry. The workshop fee is $350, which includes a one year Sustaining Poetry Project membership and tuition for any and all spring and fall classes.

A print edition of the journal will be available soon through Chax Press. For ordering or subscription information, contact editor Tim Peterson at EOAGH.Editor@gmail.com *EOAGH: A Journal of the Arts* is concerned with reading as a process, the productive chaos of investigative poetic work. These acts of attention explore the close listening inherent not just in writing but also in being written. Inspired by Whitman's assertion that "Reading is a gymnast's act," we see readings as embodied, interdisciplinary responses that engage with one's environment through ekphrasis, phenomenology, queering, and the pursuit of conceptual complexity/density. We seek poetry, prose, articles, and readings that address these concerns in contemporary avant-garde, experimental, and innovative writing. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

This, despite graffiti PROMISING violence against the marchers. The Serbian Orthodox Church claims that it does not support the impending violence against the group, yet also has told the news that the march is akin to "Sodom and Gomorrah." Similarly, president Boris Tadic REFUSES to endorse the march, claiming to uphold Serbia's laws against discrimination. The violence is clearly sanctioned by both church and state indirectly, and if I had the money I'd be over there right now to march with them! In fact if I had the money I'd fly over there with me the remaining members of the Philly Gay Mafia, the vicious, tough guys who used to patrol and protect our streets in the Philadelphia queer community back in the 1980s when violence against us was practically encouraged by police. My hope is that the marchers are as ready as they possibly can be for what is about to happen to them. My hope too is that the government takes action to at the very least protect the marchers in their simple act of walking together in the streets. The violence to come has literally been written on the walls of Belgrade.

This debate will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Irish Writers' Centre, 19 Parnell Square in Dublin, Ireland. Admission is free. PUBLIC LECTURE & DEBATE Does the Irish language have a modern literary culture? Or, have universities limited literary discussion to folkloric texts that have little to say to urban readers? Can poetry & literature in Irish survive if the rural Gaeltacht dies? Can a modern literary culture emerge from an urban creolized form of Irish? Has the Irish-language become the prisoner of sociologists, anthropologists, government bureaucrats & educators who have constricted & suffocated the possibilities to such an extent that the very survival of the language itself has been called into question? Will literary innovation ever be tolerated in Ireland? These are the questions that Tom=E1s Mac S=EDom=F3in raises in his IMRAM talk, "An D=FAchas agus an Nua" (Tradition & Innovation). D=E1ith=ED =D3 h=D3g=E1in, Professor of Folklore at University College Dublin, will reply to the lecture, & IMRAM invites all with a serious interest in Irish poetry & literature to join in this crucial debate.

I just write something else instead: a story, an essay, etc. If for some reason I feel compelled to write a poem because of external pressure or internal angst, I make use of some compositional procedure. So produce something aleatory or conceptual or work with found text, something that takes the onus off of me as a creator and shifts my focus onto working with language more as an editor or sculptor.

Sometimes, I build collages of pics from Google Image searches put into Microsoft Paint. I also change my contextual perception. In other words, sometimes I feel too pressured to "write a poem" and so I go to (either physically, mentally or figuratively (using the internet)) a location that breaks my notions of what a poem should be. The Internet is great for this. In the past I've used Craigslist Missed Connections, comment boxes, forums, Netflix and Amazon review-writing formats. I compose within these formats (providing an "audience" of sorts), sometimes I post it, sometimes I don't. Sometimes this causes Internet "weirdness" to happen: http://blog.rifftrax.com/2008/08/07/helpful-product-reviews/ E.g., "Joke Invisible Dog Leash" I'm giving this toy's educational value five stars. I've learned more in Georgia. Sometimes value is reflected in how we learn not to act. The dog died because I let her run free. There was no escape, and no run. No run that we were captives to an action. A service entrance left the dog loose. The dog's being loose -- lack of smell - meant I was unable to give it meat. Nutrition was usually left outside the service entrance. The dog went through the entry, changing its name. A truck then came at very fast paces. I wanted to run and tell my momma on ya'll. I broke. Time till entry? She was a yelper. I was given a few seconds with the pile. Puddled, our interaction lacked a fluid. I soon pupped and found pain was involved. My fault, crazy at the end and leashed - air being left in a flat to sour - lay down to perform the angel in creamed corn I would not be hungry enough to eat.

Currently, for instance, there's my tarot project, so if I haven't written my daily poem and the evening's drawing on, I pick a card. I also find that if I'm stuck after a line or a few words, using traditional form can be a help, even though I usually revise such pieces against the rules. Unlike some others here, I've never found music to be of help--while writing prose yes, but for poetry I find it tends to suffocate the subtle rhythms. Now, when the difficult days start to outnumber the ones with flow, I know it's time to move.

--the real origins of so many acts were there-- Groucho's line could have come from any kind of immigrant comedian--Italian German Russian, Polish, Czech, Spanish--al of whom would not be welcome at many a club just as these comedians would nopt be welcome today at the clubs woody allen played On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 2:13 PM, Mark Weiss wrote: > Anyone know the source for Groucho's famous declaration "I would not join > any club that would have someone like me for a member?" > > Best, > > Mark > > ================================== > The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Dear Chicago, Dear Everyone... Has everyone had a look at this latest article by Kent Johnson about The New Chicago School of Poetry? Here's the link: http://www.digitalemunction.com/2009/09/08/guest-post-the-new-chicago-school-of-poetry-by-kent-johnson/ I have respect for his work and opinions, and even his enthusiasms displayed in this article. What I wonder though is HOW do the Chicago poets feel about what he wrote? In particular to the WAY he frames his praise by knocking other poetry communities in the country? THIS was something I had hoped to read in the COMMENTS box, but of course, as you will see, that became one big weird argument about WHICH non-Chicago poet called it first! It's really silly, but worth a laugh or two to say the least! There are some very big statements and judgements made, and I'm wondering how everyone feels, especially the Chicago poets.

Launched in 2003 by Linden Labs, Second Life (SL) hit widespread popularity in 2006. In this 3D-rendered world, people across the world share a networked space with unique avatars. With a completely user-generated environment, SL enables a rich world of artistic possibilities.

This is a clever joke, but I don't see how it is conceptually interesting. Unlike Goldsmith's DAY, which recontextualized text in an "uncreative" gesture (a Duchampian raising of "journalistic" prose into the realm of poetry), and thus produced a rich text, replete with previously dormant meaning, Johnson's DAY does little more than repeat the gesture, and thus the only significance it seems to hold is to question the validity of assigning such a work to any single, particular author, something already implicit in Goldsmith's project and only superficially interesting in the first place. --- Jonathan Ball ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

In-Reply-To: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Dear Everyone, PS This weekend, while in NY for the advancing feminist poetries and politics conf, which gave me enough fuel for my hungry brain for ages -- & afterwards made me aware thru emails of various political sub-groups within it, I got CA Conrad's Elvis book, and couldn't stop reading it. CA you are a scene unto yourself. Boston feels like an English village in comparison to NY, & it seems to be that many of the innovative reading series take place in NY or Calif tho of course other places like Providence & here to a much smaller degree. Met Jennifer Karmin at the conf--she is from Chicago & she graciously invited me to read in the Red Rover series some time next year--she talked about how as much as she found the conf exciting she felt it wasn't particularly inclusive. Is Chicago exclusive? Dunno. Here in Boston the innovative scene is mostly younger guys, which is inevitable maybe, with a few oldsters like Joel Sloman & me who are on the fringes. At the conf I heard/met Vanessa Place, Chris Tysh, who's in Detroit, Jeanne Heuving, who teaches at the U of Washington in Seattle, Mei Mei B, Kathleen Fraser (Calif & Rome), Eileen Myles--where is she?--zippy women, individuated women who are doing new things, dispersed--this is part of the new community. And a new worldwide movement for human rights for women. Conceptual poetry seems to be another newest thing, and tho I am not inclined to practice it myself, the theory is edgy & exciting. And Canadian women poets from Coach House Press gave a reading at the Bowery Poetry Club. Tony Trigilio & I once taught at Northeastern U in Boston together & he is a sweetie. But maybe the online community is as close as we get. But I think any generalities incl ones I have just made are suspect.

Do they represent the experience of Canadians today, people coping with layoffs, sickness, domestic violence, drug addiction, teens and aging parents? Former Ottawa writer, now disgruntled Victoria, BC resident, Jeff Fry questions the lack of representation for the underprivileged in contemporary Canadian fiction citing prize winning stories from current issues of the literary periodicals Grain and Prism Magazine as prime culprits. Fry links privilege to a lack of experience with failure and struggle for the writer.

Room 302 Books is the only bookstore in Canada ever to focus specifically on the avant-garde and overlooked outsiders, specializing in concrete/visual/sound poetries (mainly Canadian) with a stock of over 20,000 mainly rare titles, including elusive ephemera, and probably the only source of most of jwcurrys various imprints and titles (which number in the thousands). currys current lists finally focus on his own work as artist & publisher, virtually the first time everything thats (still) available has been made commonly available.

I would like to encourage you to donate something so as to keep this excellent bookstore, publisher, archive and artist alive, and at the same time help prevent currys eviction from his apartment.

(See Goldsmith, internet, passim.) I presume that you, like many other people, accept that rejection as a pose, a mere mockery of public modesty, even though Goldsmith, apparently, does not see it that way. ("In fact, every time I have to proofread [my books] before sending them off to the publisher, I fall asleep repeatedly. You really don't need to read my books to get the idea of what they're like; you just need to know the general concept.") Or maybe you take Goldsmith's word for it that "In conceptual writing the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an author uses a conceptual form of writing, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair." If that's the case, then tell me, please, what makes Goldsmith's idea interesting? Given that the same idea has been had, and executed, by thousands of others, including Richard Prince, Sherri Levine, and anyone who's "written" a found poem, why should we see Goldsmith's project as any more or any less interesting than Johnson's? But here's a thought: what if the dismissal of Kent's DAY as "superficially interesting" was exactly the point of his project? I don't say that it is; Kent can speak to that (or could, if he weren't banned from this list, though I'm sure he'll find a way to participate somehow). But what if? What if one took the annoyed response to Johnson's DAY as exactly the reaction he wanted, since it proved the fact--which you may take to be obvious, but which no one seems willing to publicly acknowledge--that there is a bright line between the kind of people whose uncreative writing allows them to reap every reward the culture industry has to offer=97publication, glossy magazine interviews, fellowships and tenured academic positions--and those whose *identical* uncreative writing gets them shunned as wannabes? And what if that bright line has nothing to do with the work, or the ideas behind the work, and everything to do with the fact that one has gone to the right schools, lived in the right cities, and licked the right boots? I think you'd have to admit that it's a superficially interesting thought, at the very least.
