The soma in question is a hallucinogen mentioned in Hindu religious texts and often identified with peyote or magic mushrooms.

If you've seen any of the previous dbCinema slideshows, you may recall they didn't have fade in/out of the images. I was finally motivated to make that sort of app. The motivation was not for the dbCinema images, but for some others which aren't up yet, which I'll show you when that project is finished. However, I have developed the app with the dbCinema images. All of the dbCinema slideshows at http://vispo.com/dbcinema now have that feature. Fade in/out enhances the experience of these images because there is often continuity between the images, and the fading in of one over another reveals the nature of the continuity in a way that both shows how the thing is growing/changing and contributes to the 'cinema' of dbCinema. It also provides 'action' while the app is busy downloading the next image, which is a consideration in streaming net art. Usually the images are 1280x1024 in size and vary from around 75kb to about 400kb in file size, so the downloading of the images is usually not instantaneous. There are lots of slideshow apps on the net. Why not use one of those? Well, the ones I saw were usually suitable for smaller images. I wanted this to take up the entire screen for a particular art experience, not a general showing of photos. I also wanted to have categories of links that usually weren't available with the ones on the net. And I wanted the interface simple and integrated into the viewing area, rather than having one area for the graphics and one for the controls, so the full screen could be used to show the graphics. But, also, I've been kind of interested in the architecture of a slideshow app. More on that a bit later. The app has two 'pages' or screens. The first displays thumbails of some or all of the images. Some of the series have hundreds of images; in that case, the thumbnails show every second or third image. This page or screen also usually contains a link to information about the series. And links to the previous and next series via the '<<' and '>>' buttons. When you either click a thumbnail image or the '[...]' button, you enter the second page or screen which displays the slideshow. You can adjust the amount of time images are displayed and the amount of time images fade by clicking the 'Options' button. The numbers are in milliseconds. 1000 milliseconds is 1 second. You can also choose whether images fade in/out or just fade in. When the images fade in/out, there's a dimming and brightening. When they just fade in, that dimming/brightening is not present. Sometimes the dimming/brightening is nice, such as in the Silvia Saint series. It gives it a sort of breath in and out. But, all that said, the main thing I've learned in making this app is how to make a better one that I haven't made yet. And therein lies an interesting lesson for me. The architecture of the current app involves two images. One image fades in while the other fades out. Or one fades in while the other, which is already faded in, stays static in the background and disappears once the other is faded in. A more general architecture would be as follows. It would involve going OOP (object oriented programming) with the app. The idea would be to program an image object. When it's time to display a particular image, an image object would be dynamically created. The data of this object would include the image itself, it's name and so forth. The methods or behaviors would include the mouse event functions, the fade in/out functions, the destructor function, and so on. When the object is no longer required, it's deleted. The advantage of this dynamic creation/destruction of image objects is that rather than being limited to two images, you can have several images onscreen at once. So, for instance, when the user quickly presses the '>' button repeatedly, the response could be more as one would like. But, more importantly, it would free up formal possibilities. For instance, one could program keyboard functionality so that when a particular key is pressed, a particular image could fade in/out or do that and grow/shrink. Getting away from the notion of a slideshow into a more general form. And that is of artistic interest. Programming should suggest and open up formal possibilities. Going OOP, properly understood, does that. So next up for me when I approach another Javascript project will be getting a handle on OOP in Javascript. There's an interesting article on the subject at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163419.aspx Part of the idea of dbCinema is to explore the possibilities of cinema between the still, the slideshow, and the sort of dbCinema at http://vispo.com/dbcinema/londonhypotrochoid which is further yet from slideshow but is, nonetheless, based on 100 pictures downloaded from the net via a Google image search of "London".

Wasn't the first to do it Paul the Usher (Paulus Silentarius), in poems which survived to the Greek Anthology, about the friezes on the Parthenon (or somewhere)? So my sense of the very absolutely original meaning of the term would be whatever Paul did. (They are pretty dreadful, scan boring, poems compared with his other work, which itself isn't exactly to-die-for material).

I don't get your point here. At first I did not understand why you would think that JW had done something. And now I still don't get it--that is, what do you find wrong with the word "criticism"? As to what it means, etymologically--well, we should all know that it comes from the Gk. for sifting.

Homer: "& first Hephaestus makes a great & massive shield / blazoning well-wrought emblems all across its surface..." writing about the shield of Achilles in the Iliad. Perhaps I should have said purest, rather than original. As an example: Anny Ballardini's recent book "Ghost Dance in 33 Movements", a series of poems about films & videos found on UbuWeb, is pure ekphrasis. But, I agree,these days it's primarily used to describe poems about paintings.

Inspired by the celebrated Turkish writer and political figure Nazim Hikmet's book of poems Journeys With No Return, this project explores reflections of Turkish migration on contemporary art. Twelve artists from Germany, Great Britain and Turkey uncover themes around Turkish migration over the last 50 years in works that are new to UK audiences =96 six of which are unveiled for the first time. The artists balance the local with the global, their subjective sense of identity with cultural dissemination that potentially knows no borders. Using popular music, rap, cinematic conventions, anthropology and documentary they exploi= t archive images, cultural stereotypes and information systems. The artworks stretch from video, film, photography, drawing to installation and reach ou= t with methods of communication that echo mainstream and popular cultural forms. *Zineb Sedira* finds resonances of transportation in forgotten railway sidings, while *Clemens von Wedemeyer* has created a cinematic work that is as much a tribute to his modernist masters - Mayakovsky, Tarkovsky - as it is a film about crossing a border. *Melanie Manchot* takes a traditional European painting genre, the double portrait, and restores connections between people separated by migration. *Adam Chodzko* has created a surreal documentary about Romanian migrant strawberry pickers editing a historical archive of London hop pickers, subverting readings of power relations, identity, time and place. *Nasan Tur's* demonstration backpacks consist of = a range of unusual objects and reference both mobility and rebellion. *Asli Sungu* uncovers historical layers that unexpectedly explode with poetic equivalences that only an outsider could create. *The conference* is organised with the International Curators Forum and addresses the themes of the exhibition, how culture is transformed through migration and the influence of Turkish migration on contemporary practitioners. It is chaired by *Edgar Schmitz* (Goldsmith College, London) and *Lisa Le Feuvre* (Writer and Curator) and includes speakers *Irit Rogof= f *, Professor of Visual Culture at Goldsmiths College, a theorist, curator and organiser, Artist Adam Chodzko and *Dr. Mark Nash*, Head of Department for Curating Contemporary Art, Royal College of Art. Journeys With No Return opened alongside the 11th Istanbul Biennial at the Akbank Cultural Centre, Istanbul in September 2009 and will be presented in Berlin in June 2010. *Press contact: Simon Steven* Press Office *Journeys With No Return* +44 (0)1843 596 194 (UK) simon@simonsteven.net Further information: info@journeyswithnoreturn.com The curators would like to thank the Akbank Cultural Centre, Istanbul, A Foundation, London, Arcola Theatre, London and Kunstverein Tiergarten, Berlin.

By the end of 2010, John Tranter and Pam Brown will have put out 40 issues of Jacket (jacketmagazine.com). It began in what John recalls as "a rash moment" in 1997 - an early all-online magazine, one of the earliest in the world of poetry and poetics, and quite rare for its consistency over the years. "The design is beautiful, the contents awesomely voluminous, the slant international modernist and experimental." (So said _The Guardian_.) After issue 40, John will retire from thirteen years of intense every- single-day involvement with Jacket, and the entire archive of thousands of web pages will move intact to servers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where it will of course be available on the internet to everyone, for free, as always. But the magazine is not ceasing publication: quite the opposite. Starting with the first issue in 2011, Jacket will have a new home, extra staff and a vigorous future as Jacket2. Jacket and its continuation, Jacket2, will be hosted by the Kelly Writers House and PennSound at the University of Pennsylvania. The connection with PennSound, a vast and growing archive of audio recordings of poetry performance, discussion and criticism, is seen as a valuable additional facet of the new magazine, as is the relationship with busy Kelly Writers House, a lively venue for day-to- day poetic interchange of all kinds. The synergy in this three-way relationship has great potential. Al will become Publisher and Jessica Lowenthal, Director of the Writers House, will be Associate Publisher. The new Editor will be Michael S. Hennessey (currently Managing Editor of PennSound) and the new Managing Editor will be Julia Bloch. John will be available as Founding Editor, and Pam will continue as Associate Editor. More news about Jacket2 in the weeks and months to come. Meantime, the Jacket2 folks extend gratitude -- as many in the world of poetics do -- to John and to Pam Brown for the extraordinary work they've done.

It began in what John recalls as = "a rash moment" in 1997 - an early all-online magazine, one of the = earliest in the world of poetry and poetics, and quite rare for its = consistency over the years. "The design is beautiful, the contents = awesomely voluminous, the slant international modernist and = experimental." (So said _The Guardian_.) After issue 40, John will retire from thirteen years of intense = every-single-day involvement with Jacket, and the entire archive of = thousands of web pages will move intact to servers at the University of = Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where it will of course be available on = the internet to everyone, for free, as always. But the magazine is not = ceasing publication: quite the opposite.=20 Starting with the first issue in 2011, Jacket will have a new home, = extra staff and a vigorous future as Jacket2. Jacket and its = continuation, Jacket2, will be hosted by the Kelly Writers House and = PennSound at the University of Pennsylvania.=20 The connection with PennSound, a vast and growing archive of audio = recordings of poetry performance, discussion and criticism, is seen as a = valuable additional facet of the new magazine, as is the relationship = with busy Kelly Writers House, a lively venue for day-to-day poetic = interchange of all kinds. The synergy in this three-way relationship has = great potential. Al will become Publisher and Jessica Lowenthal, Director of the Writers = House, will be Associate Publisher. The new Editor will be Michael S. = Hennessey (currently Managing Editor of PennSound) and the new Managing = Editor will be Julia Bloch. John will be available as Founding Editor, = and Pam will continue as Associate Editor.=20 More news about Jacket2 in the weeks and months to come. Meantime, the = Jacket2 folks extend gratitude -- as many in the world of poetics do -- = to John and to Pam Brown for the extraordinary work they've done. And = John, for his part, is mightily pleased that Jacket will be preserved = and will continue and grow in a somewhat new mode but with a continuous = mission and approach.

I've put those photos and Martha's notes about the photos on vispo.com, along with a piece of writing I did about Millie. http://vispo.com/millie http://vispo.com/millie/s.htm Many thanks to Martha for allowing me and you access to these photos which are dear to her. I found them very moving and learned much about my friend's life that I did not know, previously. Thanks also to Martha for her generous correspondence with me, in a difficult time for her, throughout the process of our doing this project. I quote one of Martha's emails in its entirety in the writing I did; it is very illuminating concerning several issues relevant to the photos and provides us with some knowledge of the health problems Millie experienced throughout her life. 'For Millie Niss' also contains many links to Millie's work, writings about her, and to Martha's work. They worked together as a creative team sometimes known as M & M. Martha is continuing her own work and is also working on various projects involving Millie's writings and web art. Martha is continuing in her creativity, which one can't help but know Millie would have wished for her very much. She is continuing the Sporkworld blog she and Millie did together, for instance, at http://sporkworld.tumblr.com . ja http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I've put those photos and Martha's notes about the photos on vispo.com, along with a piece of writing I did about Millie. http://vispo.com/millie http://vispo.com/millie/s.htm Many thanks to Martha for allowing me and you access to these photos which are dear to her. I found them very moving and learned much about my friend's life that I did not know, previously. Thanks also to Martha for her generous correspondence with me, in a difficult time for her, throughout the process of our doing this project. I quote one of Martha's emails in its entirety in the writing I did; it is very illuminating concerning several issues relevant to the photos and provides us with some knowledge of the health problems Millie experienced throughout her life. 'For Millie Niss' also contains many links to Millie's work, writings about her, and to Martha's work. They worked together as a creative team sometimes known as M & M. Martha is continuing her own work and is also working on various projects involving Millie's writings and web art. Martha is continuing in her creativity, which one can't help but know Millie would have wished for her very much. She is continuing the Sporkworld blog she and Millie did together, for instance, at http://sporkworld.tumblr.com . ja http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

We used to be in correspondence and had spent one afternoon together. At that time she was doing translations of Rimbaud's poetry. I thought they were the best Rimbaud translations into English I had read and told her so. Her continuous onrush of physical misfortunes had, to me, a phantasmagorical air about them, not that they were not real; but an amazement that one could have so many of them, and so remorselessly. At that time, I think, she still assumed she was bi-polar or suffering from some other such mental disease. My reaction to her diseases was colored by that information. She was one of the most brilliant people I knew, following her own music. I was an avid follower of her blogs. I even participated in one of her projects, My best wishes to her mother.

Jonathan will be conducting two seminars and a workshop at Poets House entitled "Ecopoetics After Copenhagen" **in May of this year. For more information about this seminar, please visit the "eco" page at Poets House . In the February/March 2010 issue of The Poetry Project Newsletter, Edmund Berrigan describes Jonathan Skinner as a poet's poet who "has an elegant way across a poem, and offers an updated set of movements on a valuable resource: the nature poem." Here is some additional praise for his poetry: Jonathan Skinner has from the very beginning been the knight errant of eco-poetics. He stands in company with Jack Collom and Merrill Gilfillan, stalking "with naked foot" poetically and democratically (like St. George), the enormous carbon footprints of a no longer jolly, green GIANT. --Michael Gizzi Hoa Nguyen describes With Naked Foot as: a compact field guide to a life deeply lived. Not afraid to name birds, bodies in time and space, how the heart is, how animals. Lush sound fields--at once Keatsian and Olsonic in its mind moves. "do not eat me let me/ bloom and fuck let live/ this exhortation in me / against use." A fantastic group of poems from this Earth inhabitant. little scratch pad press will happily and promptly mail you a copy of this book for $7 postage paid in the US, $10 to Canada & Mexico, $15 overseas).

He sees the new terrain through his peculiar, sympathising lens--characterised by impassioned tones that range from brusque to tender. There is something of the magpie in him: nothing escapes his subtle gaze, his flighty wit, his voracious gleaning of experience. His supple lines meander and flit over scapes of love, home, family, and literature, rewarding the magpie-minded with a lucid estrangement to things both unfamiliar and familiar.

A quadriplegic since 1983, =20 Chesnutt's 'pre-existing condition' prevented him from receiving =20 adequate treatment. He could have received SSI Disability because of =20 his condition, but his accident also awakened his songwriting ability, =20= and he heroically battled his condition for 25 years--releasing many =20 albums (the most recent one produced by Jonathan Richman)--and, though =20= he never made enough money to pay for the exorbitant costs of his =20 health treatement, he made TOO MUCH to be eligible for Social Security =20= disability support. It's a sad cruelty of America that had he had not =20= tried to make something of himself after his accident, and achieved =20 success as a songwriter (at his best, he reminds me of what I love =20 about Townes Van Zandt), he would have received more economic support =20= for his 'health issues.' "Of course, the basic obituaries will just say, 'he died of an =20 overdose of pain killers,' but read his statements about his health =20 care, and you tell me if this beautiful heroic survivor's death was =20 'suicide.' I am absolutely sure that Vic would not mind being used as =20= a rallying cry in his death. He's so much more--but another reason to =20= step up the fight for Single Payer." Oh, as for Chris Stroffolino--he likes to think you can trust him, and =20= says you might even like his new solo album, available at the above url. ---- Directions: 1.5 blocks from Church St. and Market St. Muni Venue is bet. 14th St and Duboce Ave. -- David A.

I subscribed to her blog feed. I am glad that she made it to &Now last year. I almost went, partly just to meet her, also to see Cris Cheek in a kilt. I decided to wait. A reminder: there is no blood test for schizophrenia, manic-depression, or depression. Genetic tests are in development but not, I think, in use in diagnosis. Medications serve as trial prognosis; rival medical conditions, treatments, and specializations complicate it. Ann Bogle In a message dated 2/10/2010 8:52:36 A.M.

I tune in deliberately when I know he'll be on in order to listen to the way he handles himself, and better yet, the way he manages to continue using outdated pro-war propaganda. For instance today on NPR the usual interview with poor, abused Dan Choi who only wants to defend the mighty but somehow also defenseless Americans. At one point he's talking about an earlier assignment in Iraq when he was still closeted and allowed to point his gun at Iraqis. He was talking about patrolling The Triangle of Death region looking for "the terrorists, the insurgents." There was literally a comma separating in his speaking, just like this, "the terrorists, the insurgents." Haven't we COMPLETELY dealt with the lies of Bush, Cheney, Rice in this matter? The terrorists of 911 were not Iraqi. Choi gets away with it though, no one dares correct him conflating issues, especially not the liberal media who are in the middle of interviewing him because HE'S been made into the victim. Poor Dan Choi who can't go looking for "terrorists" (his word choice) in Iraq because he's gay. Dan Choi needs a remedial course in recent US history apparently. This is the perfect time for Dan Choi to make his case though, perfect for everyone who is pro-war. Pro-war lesbian and gay soldiers will finally get the support of pro-war American elected officials who are either secretly or openly for war because the gay shield is in use. The state can make all of their arguments now as to WHY "DADT" should be repealed, and in doing so have indirect support for war by getting poster boy's like Choi to go around the country using the outdated propaganda glossary from the last administration. It's a win-win for all who want war. The hyper-masculine model gets its way, all the way. And it's so subtle, so weirdly politically correct that it's nearly impossible to challenge in the end. Choi is masterful at sounding like a strong and powerful victim. He's the protector kept from doing his sacred job. It's amazing to me that he gets away with it. But he does get away with it, over and over again. And HE gets to set himself up as an activist, as someone seeking civil rights, while the rights of the Iraqi's are never in question. I'm an openly queer man who is against war, especially the American occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and I believe very strongly that Dan Choi and other LGBT soldiers are being used to continue fanning the flames of war in a way which is completely new to us. Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is genius to do right now at a time when support for our wars is waning. Please consider reading and signing my online petition opposing the war Dan Choi is so proud of serving in. I direct you FIRST to a blog I wrote so that you can in fact see that the petition (which is linked on the blog) was written by me. I say this, and do this because many people have actually accused me of being a Republican uncover, looking for ways to trick the unsuspecting liberal into opposing a civil liberty. There's nothing civil about war, especially these present American wars. Here is the blog which has a link to the online petition: http://invasionanniversary.blogspot.com/ CAConrad -- PhillySound: new poetry http://PhillySound.blogspot.com THE BOOK OF FRANK by CAConrad http://CAConrad.blogspot.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

But if your neighbour attacks another neighbour or treats him unjustly, what can you do? Then alterity takes on another character, in alterity we can find a= n enemy, or at least we are faced with the problem of knowing who is right an= d who is wrong, who is just and who is unjust.=94 (Emmanuel L=E9vinas, quoted= in Rachel Zolf's Neighbour Procedure) How do "rights" intervene in and compose our notions and notations of just and unjust, right and wrong? In wide ranging disciplines, rights of the subject and to the objective world are both historically grounded and contemporarily debated. If discourses of all varieties are also textual sites, then the places where rights are manifested (technology, culture, ar= t and literature, science, law, and ontology) must be read and ultimately performed. This conference features work that explores definitions, constructions, and performative notions of rights. How do texts challenge predominant conceptual narratives of rights? In what ways does literature explore notions of rights inside and outside of the juridical realm? As the focus of our 8th annual Graduate Student Conference, the English Graduate Student Organization at the University at Albany seeks both critical and creative projects that further this discussion. Rachel Zolf is our keynote poet for the Friday evening performance. Zolf is the author of Neighbour Procedure (2010) and Human Resources (2007), winner of the Trillium Book Award for Poetry. Saturday's keynote will be Joseph Slaughter= , Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia and author of Human Rights, Inc.: The World Novel, Narrative Form, and International Law (2007). We solicit creative submissions for inclusion in the evening performance as well as panels and papers for Saturday. We encourage submissions from graduate students working in any field, historical period, or scholarly discipline. Critical abstracts should be limited to 250-300 words; creative abstracts should include a 300 word or less description and a 3-page sample= . Submit abstracts to: egsoalbany@yahoo.com by March 12, 2010.

In 2004 he took a Ph.D. from U.Buffalo, and soon after started *little scratch pad press* and *Celery Flute: The Kenneth Patchen Newsletter.* He adjuncts whe= n his rice supply is getting low, and otherwise likes to make raucous music, fly kites and argue about the contemporary definition of *good love* with his friends in Brooklyn. I'm also giving a Blake lecture in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on February 28: Blake Lecture 2: Published Works delivered by Douglas Manson with some performance/dramatizations of his works Sunday, February 28. 4:00 p.m. 99 Sutton Street, Greenpoint (Brooklyn) in the Cork Building, please ring the Kevorkian bell for entry Blake is cool because he=92s a workshop for the mind of his readers, whethe= r they be thinkers, poets or painters. His many works in text and design provide a generous supply of ideas for re-thinking artistic practice and performance. He came to full maturity in the midst of multiple revolutions= , the results of which many would claim created our present social ideal of harmony as an enlightenment inheritance. Blake=92s work questions these assumptions at the level of art and poetry. The present lecture will focus on his art: the style, techniques and themes of engravings and books in which he intertwined language and visual design. I will be using two American examples as a way of comparing the kinds of attention viewers and readers have given him in recent decades: the poetry of Gertrude Stein, and the stories and graphic work found in science fiction and fantasy titles published by Marvel Comics from the early 1970s to the early 1980s. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

The self-portrait artist will always be with us. Lowell eventually became a confessional poet in the Plath, Berryman, Sexton mode. His "Imitations" was a welcomed exercise to anyone interested in comparitative lit. Another look: While I'm in awe of the wierd, wild curves in the architecture of Frank Gehry, I'm also hip to the suburban house of Frank L Wright. Robert Venturi showed everyone how to concepualize: Look at the venacular ... build a mobile home ... Does celebrating the innovative require us to shun a master? The Chinese have been doing vispo for centuries. Geez, no computers during Lowell era either. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Mr. Shipp has recorded a lot of albums with many labels but his 2 most enduring relationships have been with two labels. In the 1990s he recorded a number of chamber jazz cds with Hatology, a group of cds that charted a new course for jazz that, to this day, the jazz world has not realized. In the 2000s Mr Shipp has been curator and director of the label Thirsty Ear’s “Blue Series” and has also recorded for them. In this collection of recordings he has generated a whole body of work that is visionary, far reaching and many faceted .

It is trying to persuade us, to recognize that certain catastrophes and felicities are not inevitable. It concerns the history of incendiary devices, of the evolution of Greek fire from a divine secret which could sustain or destroy empires, into white phosphorus and napalm; the elliptical fires of the pre-Socratics, Aristotle's service to Alexander in the fashioning of pyrotechnics, the burning/blooming/mating bodies of G. H. Schubert and the self-feeding crowds of Elias Canetti; mechanisms to project fire, to make it burn on water and stick to wood and skin, to keep it off the walls of the besieged towns, and what those mechanisms (projection and defense) have done to geometry; the courts of fire, the legal chamber and the hortus conclusus, and the margins of ambiguity where it is lobbed with impunity; embedded nuggets and embedded reporters, the discovery of the chemical element, industrial tragedy, the resistance of the matchgirls at Bryant & May, the corruption of Quaker capitalists, washing powder and toothpaste. It is an etiology of metaphors, "shake-n-bake" and whisky pete and phantom fury. It is also an argument about obscurity and illumination: WILDFIRE does both, smokes the bright air and singes the night with trajectories. And so an interrogation of writing practices which fume as much as they enlighten. http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9781928650317/wildfire-a-verse-essay-on-obscurity-and-illumination.aspx The Redcoats by Ryan Murphy "In one of the most striking lines in THE REDCOATS, Ryan Murphy says, 'I have cannibalized other moments to invent this one.' We all do that, of course, but, as Murphy shows us, the present is still tenuous, porous. In these poems you will find the ghosts of what are called American heroes, Paul Revere, Neil Armstrong, Thomas Paine, washed up along with other detritus, in a 'Yardsale: one broken promise/after another.' 'A lawnchair festooned with balloons.' This is Oppen's 'light of shipwreck,' an insomniac’s waking dream. There is a restless sweep to this book, or, as the speaker tells us, 'I can't stop thinking of the nothing I want.'" —Rae Armantrout http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9781928650300/the-redcoats.aspx Available through Small Press Distribution http://www.spdbooks.org/Default.aspx http://www.krupskayabooks.com/index.htm ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Should be lots of fun, interesting, joyous, kind of like Tuli, right. We have a full roster of people reading/performing so you should plan to be on stage for approximately ten minutes. The work you present should either be something created by Tuli, or inspired by/related to him. The event is at The Bowery Poetry Club ( 308 Bowery) on Saturday, March 6th, from 8 PM until 11 PM. Admission is $10, which will go to Tuli to assist with his medical expenses. As there are other bookings both prior to and following, we need to run a tight ship. There is a facebook page publicizing the event, along with flyers around town. In addition, I've contacted The Voice, The Villager, Time Out, The NY Post, The NY Times, and several other media outlets. The club will be filled, we want to put on a good show, one which will honor Tuli.

Yet, despite the distinctive differences from poem to poem, Bernstein’s characteristic explorations of how language both limits and liberates thought are present throughout. Modulating the comic and the dark, structural invention with buoyant sound play, these challenging works give way to poems of lyric excess and striking emotional range. This is poetry for poetry’s sake, as formally radical as it is socially engaged, providing equal measures of aesthetic pleasure, hilarity, and philosophical reflection. Long considered one of America’s most inventive and influential contemporary poets, Bernstein reveals himself to be both trickster and charmer. “Charles Bernstein’s poems resemble each other only in being unexpected. Simultaneously mad, tragic and hilarious, they seem written to illustrate the truth of his lines: ‘things are / solid; we stumble, unglue, recombine.’ All the Whiskey in Heaven is a vast department store of the imagination.” —John Ashbery “Charles Bernstein uses words as a surgeon uses a scalpel. He strips away the skin and cuts to the bone to reveal reality and—ultimately—to heal. This essential collection from 30 years of cutting edge work will confirm Bernstein as our true poet laureate—the voice of a new generation.” —John Zorn “For more than thirty years Charles Bernstein has been America’s most ardent literary provocateur. This long-needed selection of his poetry gives us a new perspective on his work, for it shows us that the many forms he has worked in over the years are in fact a single form, the Bernstein form, and it is unique, the product of an imagination unlike that of any other contemporary writer. His poems challenge you to think in unaccustomed ways. They address public matters, private matters, poetic matters—in other words, all that matters most. And, good Lord, can they ever make you laugh” —Paul Auster “Charles Bernstein is our ultimate connoisseur of chaos, the chronicler, in poems of devastating satire, chilling and complex irony, exuberant wit, and, above all, profound passion, of the contradictions and absurdities of everyday life in urban America at the turn of the twenty-first century. From such early underground classics as “The Klupzy Girl,” to the mordant verbal play of “The Lives of the Toll Takers,” to the great meditation on 9/11 called “Report from Liberty Street” and the deeply personal ballads and elegies of recent years, Bernstein’s much awaited Selected Poems displays a formal range, performative urgency, and verbal dexterity unmatched by other poets of his generation.” —Marjorie Perloff “A perfect introduction to the adventure that is Charles Bernstein’s work. But even for those of us who have known his irrepressible inventiveness and engaged humor from the individual books it is a boon to see here the full range of his exuberant ingenuity in battling sclerosis of word, mind—and poetry.” —Rosmarie Waldrop “This wonderful book confirms Charles Bernstein’s position as the pre-eminent American poet of mental activity—delineating not simply the mind as it registers stimuli, but the more radical commitment to mind as a machine that constantly invents totally new moves and strategies in the daily battles of perception. All the Whiskey in Heaven captures 30 years of ground breaking and revelatory work.” —Richard Foreman Previews Bookforum Feb./March 2010 "... a rousing selection from thirty years of work ... Bernstein deftly shifts moods and tones, but a sense of urgency and a hard-won clarity are in eveidnce throught this volume." --David O'Neill Publisher's Weekly 2/20/10 starred review This gathering of 30 years worth of work by the prominent L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poet and essayist offers a rigorous critique of the art of poetry itself, which means, among other things, a thorough investigation of language and the mind. Varied voices and genres are at play, from a colloquial letter of complaint to the manager of a Manhattan subway station to a fragmentary meditation on the forces that underlie the formation of knowledge. Bernstein's attention to the uncertainty surrounding the self as it purports to exist in poetry—“its virtual (or ventriloquized)/ anonymity—opens fresh pathways toward thinking through Rimbaud's dictum that “I is another.” In addition to philosophical depth—which somehow even lurks beneath statements like “There is nothing/ in this poem/ that is in any/ way difficult/ to understand”—a razor-sharp wit ties the book together: “You can't/ watch ice sports with the lights on!” These exhilarating, challenging poems raise countless essential questions about the form and function of poetry.
