This past April he showed up at a party and came over to talk with me. He told me he was reading at the KGB Bar with Keith Waldrop. Unfortunately there was a mistake in the listing and I got there right after he finished. He went to have a smoke and I went outside with him. When we talked it was as if we had always known each other. I was annoyed about the error in the announcement and we commiserated about the inadequacies of the poetry scene. We exchanged recent books, and I had the distinct feeling I had found a new friend. We went back upstairs, Keith got up to read, and announced he had dedicated his latest book (Transcendental Studies) to Michael Gizzi, which in 2009 won the National Book Award.

As always, titles are available as FREE downloads or in paperback through lulu.com. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3DPlease visit http://www.littleredleaves.co= m/ebooks/ =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 ***Sarah Campbell __*Everything We Could Ask For*__ : In this second collection, Campbell's richly minimal poems come once again, as poet Zack Finch has written "sieved out of turbulence," pressed to the point that eac= h syllable counts out from the unaccounted. In sparse and reflective lines,Campbell's poems move with an understated plangency -- turning the volume up at the edges of ordinary speech. http://littleredleaves.com/ebooks/Sarah_Campbell.html ***Brian Mornar __*Three American Letters*__: "We receive, but how do we speak?" writes Brian Mornar in *Three American Letters*. Part poetics, part physical manifesto and essay, Mornar takes on the lyric in the gleaming lin= e between urban and outskirts, between speech and movement, in American poetry: "...always on a string between the farm and the city finds reassurance in this *between* as a place...Here we find our bodies again as if for the first time." Mornar spins quotations into questions and eloquenc= e in 4 intertwined sections that move through the fallen utopia of Hawthorne'= s *The* *Blithdale Romance*, the letters of Lorine Niedecker, Ashbery's distant rural patterns "thrust...into the urban present.", as well as Benjamin's *Arcades*. Moving with a fractured luminance, Mornar asks what i= t means to be handed down language -- to read through one's place and predecessors and to move back through such passages-- through "the traceabl= e topography of the edge of the throat's arches." http://littleredleaves.com/ebooks/Brian_Mornar.html ***Gloria Frym __*Any Time Soon*__: "In the case of Vietnam, what is a reference" writes Michael Palmer over 20 years ago in the context of a different war and different time. In *Any Time Soon*, Frym writes from the reality that "there is no post war" or external context from which to view our current saturation. Language occurs in the thick of it, taking a "swipe at "friendly fire"" ,watching "the poles and their birdhouses." Yet, a= s in this line, where political obsession twists towards avian respite, Frym'= s lines torque from exasperation, and critique, to tenderness. Or, to put it another way, she writes "...I would like to find money/ you didn't know I had/ Under my pillow in an unmarked envelope/ on a rose marked High Octane Stocks// Can you handle this?" http://littleredleaves.com/ebooks/Gloria_Frym.html ***Mathew Timmons __Sound Noise__: Sounded through a persian rug (or snagge= d carpet) of google searches, Mathew Timmons pries apart how we receive and process sensory information. As if search alerts themselves were as much mirror as atomized prosthesis, Timmons replicates a pattern attuned to static in the gaps -- one that signals the subtle difference between Sound and Noise (and the snowy movement of the "static" image). Search here is configured as a multiplicitous chase towards a broken prototype. But, as he writes "I chucked the thought that it could ever be perfect again, so I tracked down a copy instead. Then when I got the copy, I realized it didn't fit like the original." http://littleredleaves.com/ebooks/Mathew_Timmons.html ***El=E9na Rivera __*Remembrance of Things Plastic*__: In *Remembrance of Things Plastic*, El=E9na Rivera charts a path between cultural displacement and the hyper-pull of consumer images. Migrating from the strictures of girlhood ("Marooned in a room the size of a dollhouse") through the acculturation implicit in Garbo's eyebrows, Rivera laments the social split between self-hood and the feminine body -- the insurgent exchange of the personal for plastic that accompanies American adolescence. Through these small remembrances, Rivera recalls the isolation of one between objects: "I was given a shiny plastic yellow ring-shaped radio," She writes "with a twist; you could twist it open and hold it up to your ear like a phone." http://littleredleaves.com/ebooks/Elena_Rivera.html And, as always our full catalog of free books, including work by Tina Darragh & Marcella Durand, Divya Victor, Norma Cole, Susan Gevirtz, Ted Greenwald, Yedda Morrison, and Harold Abramowitz is available at http://littleredleaves.com/ebooks/ Thank you!

Dance Exquisite Corpse project. They will be brought together at the Gasser Grunert Gallery for three weeks only. As with the 1920's surrealist parlor game "cadavre exquise," each drawing is constructed in a sequential combination by three or four artists; one for the head and shoulders, one or two for the torso, and one for the legs and feet. Composed on one sheet of paper that is passed from one artist to the next, the process celebrates the themes of chance encounters, surprise and radical juxtaposition. Artists were unaware of who was participating in each composition and could not view the image/word provided by previous artist. Works were created over the past year at a number of drawing parties or were shipped from one artist to the next. Among the artists participating are: Vito Acconci, Laurie Anderson, Donald Baechler, John Baldessari, Ross Bleckner, Louise Bourgeois, Cecily Brown, Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Chuck Close, Will Cotton, Eric Fischl, Robert Gober, Alex Katz, Karen Kilimnik, Jeff Koons, Richard Meier, Malcolm Morley, Tom Otterness, Tony Oursler, Chloe Piene, Enoc Perez, Richard Phillips, David Salle, Dana Schutz, Andres Serrano, Joel Shapiro, Rosemarie Trockel, William Wegman, Robert Wilson and Terry Winters. David Salle serves as curator and the project is managed by Tanja Grunert. The works are a universal size of 16x30 inches. The "performative" aspect of art-making is celebrated as the Exquisite Corpse demonstrates how drawing and dance share an unpredictable nature and spontaneity. Proceeds will benefit Armitage Gone! Dance, an internationally acclaimed contemporary dance company under the direction of renowned choreographer Karole Armitage. For three decades as a choreographer and director, Armitage has actively pushed the boundaries of classicism to create a contemporary idiom blending new dance, music and art. Her dances are full of wit, humor and sophistication and possess a fierce and sensuous beauty. Like some of the best contemporary art, Armitage's concept of beauty involves making connections between unlikely things. Karole Armitage has deep roots in the artistic community and has been dedicated to fusing dance with the visual arts. Her collaborations with artists such as Jeff Koons, Brice Marden, David Salle, Philip Taaffe, Vera Lutter and many others began early in her career an d continue actively to this day. The Exquisite Corpse project is a way for a wide range of artists to express their support for Armitage's work and also a way for her to acknowledge artists who have played a large role in her career.

PROXY GALLERY (now showing: the spain collection): Select and assemble your own custom art exhibition with catalogue! Ultra hi-res art files, suitable for printing, are delivered in one custom pdf/ebook. Thousands of enlarged (custom, patented algorithms) and enhanced photographs (now, likely several hundred thousands, soon over a million,) mostly low-res cellphone, web-cam, and low-end digital camera self-portraits (self-packaging), culled from dating/social websites -- as you might expect, there is some explicit content (more than is permitted here unfortunately: you really should see them all, but it probably makes little difference) -- fascinating and occasionally disturbing. I've decided to also add a set of painting-filters -- this was good, as it enabled a 'recovery' of many more worthwhile images, and also clouded any possible erogenous/irregular corporate claims, but the project now extends beyond my life-span. I could easily make small paintings from these images but who support that activity? Let's see: commissioned portrait paintings, I'm thinking 12" square encaustic on panels, from your choice of subject are available for $15,000US. It's interesting to find the balance/inertia point between the look of photo and painting, and it speaks to the current social/heroic condition! Often it makes faces look squinty so it's necessary to 'bring-back' facial aspects. The display images on this site are but quick approximations of the larger art files which simply don't scale -- kinda like paint on canvas. Another advantage of the painting filters is that they drastically reduce the file sizes and make it well-nigh impossible for someone to covertly res-up these display images for printing. It's quite incredible to realize that many of these pictures were only 3-4K or so when I started to work on them. You may realize that this is not the first time I've collected anonymous found-public imagery: notably dumpster-diving (bicycling with backpack at midnight,) at photofinishers' in the 70's. And of course, there's the "Insatiable Abstraction Engine" -- collections from newsgroups. [http://bbrace.net/insatiable-abstraction.html] But come to think it, nearly all my work involves repeated multiples or collections of imagery. My new friends. Whenever possible I retained any color casts, cropping and lighting. The portraits are actually very considered, sometimes selections made/altered merely to obscure the identity that they wished to presumably portray initially. Sunglasses are a popular ruse, as are close-ups of cleavage, butts, tattoos, feet and groins. (Curiously, I've yet to see a picture of hands... ok, now I have: some intricate fingernails and the love/hate finger-tats.) Many feature-obilerating camera-flash-portraits in the bathroom mirror. Many of course, occur in and around motorized vehicles. Only one (so far) in a grocery store. And some, but surprisingly few, are filched from somewhere online, but this must be a risky choice in the event of an 'actual encounter.' How much introductory information/description do you want to put out there to begin with? There are some very creative, even artful, solutions to this dilemma. Various select groups of portraits are included in each PDF 500-page ebook/catalogue for $250 (sorry about the price but it was a hellish amount of work and I guarantee you won't be disappointed or YMB), and can be ordered directly. The images contain sufficient resolution to print them out on letter-size/A4 paper (or coffee-mugs, keychains, magnets, photo-stamps, cards, calendars, tea-towels...), for an instant exhibition. Use my verified Paypal account to have the DVD delivered at no charge: [bbrace@eskimo.com; http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/buy-into.html] Or, even better, assemble your own catalogue/exhibition at the Proxy Gallery storefront [http://cart.iabrace.com/]. Art files are only $1 each. My new friends. Having been recently kicked-off Facebook (there was an anonymous report of a depicted nipple!), and losing 5,000 appreciative friends - it was the perfect place to host a social-media profile-portrait-collection, I've decided to also open an online storefront where individual high-res files will sell for only $1/each.

Magnifique!=94 -- Hugh Fox "Carol Novack=92s Giraffes in Hiding mirrors our *weltanschauung* by using its own language against it or by using its own language to pry open the circus hidden within it. If we say the world is insane or we say the world is a manic whirl, Novack embraces manic insanity with a great hug of laughter. She flings images, characters, ideas, and language around until they all, finally losing, - no, abandoning - their moorings, collide, crash, ka-bang one into another creating nuclear reactions of the non-sense that is even Emily Dickinson=92s =93divine sense,=94 although Novack would certainly hurl those two words (and that idea) against each other until the= y radiated.

There=92s no one like Novack, and here she is at = her best as she chases her ontological tail round and round the intelligible, unknown worlds of her subconscious (and ours).

Here! http://furniturepressbooks.com/books/mccrearyundone/ And in a few weeks we're unveiling our newest project, Magus Magnus' Heraclitean Pride, a creative-poetic treatment of the fragments of Heraclitus: not quite poetry, not quite philosophy, now quite critique - but all in one and separate all at once. Plus... Copies of Anne Ashbaugh's Mythopoiesis is available through pre-order only (until the website's updated!) Anne quietly but concisely disrupts our intuition and values regarding greek mythology and approaches it from quite a few, and disarmingly ironic, points of view. A must if you want to see Freud castrated with a twist of language! Any inquiries should be blasted at furniture.press.books@gmail.com.

I've = decided=0A> to also add a set of painting-filters -- this was good, as=0A> = it enabled a=0A> 'recovery' of many more worthwhile images, and also cloude= d=0A> any possible=0A> erogenous/irregular corporate claims, but the projec= t now=0A> extends beyond my=0A> life-span.

Often=0A> it makes faces look squinty so it's necessary to=0A> 'bring-= back' facial aspects. The=0A> display images on this site are but quick app= roximations of=0A> the larger art files=0A> which simply don't scale -- kin= da like paint on canvas.=0A> Another advantage of the=0A> painting filters = is that they drastically reduce the file=0A> sizes and make it=0A> well-nig= h impossible for someone to covertly res-up these=0A> display images for=0A= > printing. It's quite incredible to realize that many of=0A> these picture= s were only=0A> 3-4K or so when I started to work on them.

He was raised on The Suquamish reservation near Seattle Washington and home schooled from th= e eighth grade onward. In 1995 he was awarded a scholarship to study writing and poetics at The Naropa Institute in Boulder Colorado where he studied with Allen Ginsberg, Anne Waldman, Lisa Jarnot, Alice Notley, and Joanne Kyger, among other poets. He has lived in San Francisco since 1999. In 2003 Ugly Duckling Presse published the first edition of his *Selected Writings*. It was followed in 2005 by a second revised and expanded edition= . Other books include *Death Race vsop*, and *Expensive Magic*. A second larg= e collection *Stranger In Town* is just out from City Lights. * Arlo Quint* is the author of *Drawn In* (Fewer & Further Press), *Hospitali= ty in the Forest* (Rust Buckle Books), *Photogenic Memory* (Lame House), and *= Days on End* (Open 24 Hours). He=92s the program coordinator for the Poetry Proj= ect at St. Mark=92s Church. * Will Yackulic* was born in New York City. Since then he has eked out an existence as a flower deliver man, a janitor, a groundskeeper, a construction worker, a barrista, a clerk, a waiter, a handyman, a dog walker, an art-handler, a computer technician, and a professional artist. Taking up writing is certainly a step in the wrong direction for him with regard to making a living. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn. -- The Heliopolis Project is a small storefront located in Greenpoint Brooklyn dedicated to fostering a dialogue across all disciplines of making - we are also the proud East Coast hub of Push Press. Heliopolis 154 Huron Street Brooklyn NY 11222 (btwn Manhattan and Franklin Avenues) G Train to Greenpoint - walk towards India -- suncityprojectspace facebook & For The Curious, here's bios written for the occasion from San Francisco for SIGO and YACKULIC (apologies to QUINT.) INTRODUCING DAME SIGO With the strut that falls somewhere between Cher and Trudell, Cedar Sigo comes to Brooklyn yet again from San Francisco. This time he's got a new collection just out from City Lights STRANGER IN TOWN (again?) AND a very eye popping selection of outtakes and what ifs, titled SLIVERS, jez out fro= m PUSH. What remains most remarkable in Sigo=92s lines is the clandestine tos= s off that lets your lips quiver a bit while leaving your insides nothing but a charred gushy mess. Everything arrives of a certain measure, steadied and never left tamed. What is THE MAN thinking? I cross the street to avoid cops, Sigo walks by passing them up rolling his joint and lighting it. Nothing but smoke in the air for the motherfuckers to stroll through. Once off the res, Sigo took a detour to Naropa, met The Beats and, more importantly, formed a lasting friendship with poet Jeni Olin. In San Francisco he drums up support for cosmetics at Rainbow Grocery. He makes his home in the Mission district wit= h writer Johnny Huston in a cottage that has housed everybody from Noel Black and his terrific LOG to supposedly Janis Joplin once upon a time. Hopefully he'll read one of his latest ditties: ODE. A listing of friends failed and continuing, the lasting love pulsating into deep morning from starry skies fading out. If he doesn=92t it=92s your loss. When he read at = City Lights his mother was in the audience and her cackle is most delightful. Yo= u may have heard a great deal of things bout Sigo, be assured there are a great many more to come. The interviews will roll you over and the art reviews have already taken an on-line presence. The unlikelihood of a novel surfacing let=92s you know this ain=92t no shit-barker. Be nice to him. He really is not a great white shark, so don't you fuckin dare punch him in th= e nose. Besides, either way, he's not going away. So don't turn your back to him either. - Patrick James Dunagan Intro to Will Yackulic Will Yackulic entered this planet through a malfunction in geostationary orbit. In earlier years, many argued that he arrived by happenstance throug= h intergalactic travel. Evidence now shows that Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the imperial soviet rocket scientist, brought him to us by use of a gravitational slingshot. As a young prot=E9g=E9 to the scientist, Yackulic = lived in a log house on the outskirts of Kaluga where he ghost wrote The Exploration of Cosmic Space by Means of Reaction Devices and furthered his studies in astronautic theory. Completely bored with theory, he turned his attention to other hobbies, including transmuting base metals into gold, drawing crystals, and working on his magnum opus, Magic & Showmanship: A Handbook for Conjurers, which analyzed every phase of conjuring, from sleights, devices, misdirection, controlling audience attention, to incorporating patter, and the effective use of assistants. A misanthrope by nature, Yackulic grew exceedingly strange and bizarre to his fellow town-folk. Most were struck by his inability to age, and were particularly fond of his good looks and large hands. Never one for attention, Yakulic ra= n to the streets where he took up skateboarding and graffiti. Shortly thereafter he was arrested for spray-painting =93Thank You for the Brain Massage=94 on a downtown wall. At a public hearing, Tsiolkovsky was forced = to exile him to New York City in 1975. Yackulic=92s early years in NYC are hard to recall, even for him. In fact, = a lot of things are hard to recall to him. However, in a letter dated, September 1, 1982 Yackulic recalls in great detail on an old Remington typewriter, =93I can=92t believe how much money they paid me. I mean, hand modeling was= n=92t that lucrative to begin with. The only thing I got was free tabs of ecstasy= , and with the ecstasy always came the parties and the girls. But I wasn=92t really into em=92 ya know, I mean, who wants to be out all night with a bun= ch of normies when you can sit around in your closet and create things. Besides, by the end of the year I won=92t have to work at all. I=92ve been tracking my hours for this consumer electronic company called Atari. I=92ve already figured out the codes for so many games: Asteroids, Battlezone, Crystal Castles, Gravitar, Lunar Lander, Missile Command, Space Duel, Super Breakout, Human Cannonball, Maze Craze, Demons to Diamonds, Night Driver, Radar Lock, Star Raiders, Swordquest, Video Chess, the list can go on and on. But I=92m tired ya know, this isn=92t enough to keep my attention. May= be I should go abroad and just skate and write letters. How does the Netherlands sound? Or France, yeah, France.=94 In 1995 Yackulic=92s wish came true. He spent three years traveling Europe = and attended various esteemed schools such as Hogeschool vor de Kunsten in Amsterdam then Lacoste Ecole des Beaux-Arts in France. In 1997 he was exile= d from Europe a second time for 15 counts of public intoxication, 10 counts o= f resisting arrest, and 2 counts of shoplifting. Once again, Yackulic found himself back in NY but not without receiving his BFA from SUNY Purchase. Th= e next few years of his life are again a blur. When asked what he did during that time I received a postcard that said, =93Spent a year with some Shamans in Alaska. No mushrooms but the peyote wa= s off the chain. Did some rock climbing and learned to play the guitar, not the songs with Dio, but with Ozzy. Sabbath is not Sabbath without Ozzy, Moved to SF.=94 Yackulic=92s years in San Francisco span almost a decade and are marked by = an overall arch of creative ingenuity and variety. In the Lower Haight he painted well over 30 book covers, made short films, had group and solo shows, stared in at least four bands (Autopilot, OverGold, The Grenades, an= d one German one where he wore all white and actually sang in German), and even started his own art handling business. In typical Yackulic fashion, this still just wasn=92t enough. It seemed as if SF was starting to become that log house on the outskirts of Kaluga. Some say he exiled himself this time, others say he disappeared to Brooklyn for a modeling contract. Gravitational slingshot or not, tornado life in Brooklyn has not been everything but dull. On a recent trip back to SF Yackulic was asked, =93Will, what=92s the secre= t, how do you do it all so effortlessly when it seems like you=92re sleeping a= ll the time?=94 In between a bite of taco and a sip of beer Yackulic responded= , =93You know. I dunno. I guess I just don=92t think about things, I just let= them happen on their own. I just stick to my motto, MI COOZIE ES SU COOZIE. Are you gonna finish that beer?=94 -- Micah Ballard =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.

As I remember, we read from the book often--often aloud-- discussed it, read otther books by the poets anthologized, wrote prose poems voluminously (shit, this was a generative book!), convinced poetry was going toward prose, prose toward poetry--we were always compelled by intermedia/intramedia, moths to a flame. I'd argue Benedict's anthology pushed poetry significantly toward what's now characterized as post-lyric poetry. Flarf , conceptualism, et al, et al, et none, needed the Benedict anthology as a bridge from modernism, granted among others, even when most practitioners of conflarfulism have little clue what they are stepping onto, into , out of.

My collaborative piece with Brian McClendon involves the following: Anatomical will be composed in three parts part one: the texts part two: the images part three: the sounds part one: the texts: Two pieces of text born of each other, made with the same heirachy and restructured similar words and phrases used throughout both. Text will be displayed side by side or even printed onto acetate and overlaped to show the "anatomy" of the structure, the words that appear and reappear in the same places would be able to be seen to the viewer while the other words would blur a bit. one type in red and one in blue (color of veins, blood, also symbolic of boy, girl), which would give the reappearance of type a darker color and still allow both texts to be read. part two: the images this is the second part of the idea, where we will use the images of anatomy or figure drawings alongside mechanical-electronic sculptures on human form. The sculptures and images will be combined into a video, which will allow forms ideas and symbolism of both artist's to come together in some kind of anatomical way, via the movie timeline. Also, the sound part also fits into this, we will be tailoring it to fit exactly. part three: the sounds The third part would be the sound part of the video, composed with sounds that are relatable to the anatomical topic. By this i mean everything from talking, singing, human sounds to creaking cracking mechanical sounds. -- Soundoffka Vol. 2- An Aural & Visual Exhibition at VWVOFFKA Release Date: October 18th 2010, Philadelphia, PA Soundoffka Vol. 2 is an aural and visual exhibition hosted by VWVOFFKA, 2037 Frankford Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19125. Opening reception will be on first friday, November 5th from 6-11pm. Closing reception will be Friday November 19th from 7-11pm. Soundoffka Vol. 2 will be featuring the work of Adam Zucker, Jason A. Maas, Sarah Weber, Corey Pace, Christopher Gage, Megan Kelley, Bonnie MacAllister, and Brian McLendon. Soundoffka is a series of exhibitions in which artists explore the use of sound as an art form, expression, and the ways we relate to the vast aural landscape around us. Soundoffka Vol. 1 was a fresh collaboration between artists, working on individual pieces, which lent themselves towards the overall experience. It was also an interactive experience in which the audience became a crucial collaborative aspect to the overall piece. During the creation of Vol. 1 we also realized how vital the visual aesthetics of the space came into play. Soundoffka Vol. 2 will further expand upon these concepts of collaboration, interaction, and the relationship between sound and sight. The participating artists have been paired with artists they have never previously worked with. The artists will be exploring these themes through a variety of mediums.

By that, I mean everything that could be done in painting, = music, poetry, film, song etc. has been done. All that seems to be going on= now in each of these art forms is a repetition of achievements but rebrand= ing them as =E2=80=98innovative.=E2=80=99 Painting is still feeding off Po= llack or Rothko, and conceptual art is still milking the found object idea.= Experimental classical music is still working with dissonance and atonal s= tuff. Mainstream poetry is still under the shadow of Wordsworth and Whitman= ; or if it is experimental, it is still operating under the fragmentation/c= ollage aesthetic of early modernist poetry. Modern experimental film seems = not to exist anymore (it is now video art) and mainstream film (since Spiel= berg) imitates the look and feel of German Expressionist cinema in the 1920= s. In pop/rock (the two have become the same to me now) the musical sounds = are not as innovative as they were with the early 1980s new wave stuff, wit= h its space-age synth sound and robotic feel. What we have now is fourth ra= te Beatles/Doors/Stones wannabees on the one hand, and soul-based divas (Be= yonce etc.) churning out substandard Tina Turna/Diana Ross/Donna Summer wit= h =E2=80=98attitude=E2=80=99 and an R&B base run. There is nothing very inn= ovative being done anymore. Obviously, this is a caricature and not 100% ac= curate, but it illustrates a trend.=E2=80=9D (Jeffrey Side) =E2=80=9CYes, these days it is anathema to do anything that seems romantic.= This is the horseshit of so-called postmodernism. Romanticism leads to Mod= ernism and you must rebel against Modernism because, well, it=E2=80=99s old= now and you have to do something new. It was Pound though that said =E2=80= =98make it new.=E2=80=99 Poetry has painted itself into corners all over th= e place. The academic corner. The Beat/Hip corner. The exclusive avant-gard= e corner. The anecdotal narrative corner. The poetry slam, open mic corner.= All of these are for a very limited audience. I heard Gore Vidal talking a= bout the novel a couple of years ago. He lamented that the novel had gone t= he way of poetry, into obscurity. Many people would object saying no, there= are more novels published every year than ever before. Yes, but have you r= ead those novels? They aren=E2=80=99t Dickens, nowhere near it.

You can see the full schedule of events here (http://nyfabootcampfestival.wordpress.com/schedule/ ):NEW YORK FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS BOOT CAMP ARTS FESTIVAL **In Abundance: Poetry Reading Featuring Liliana Alamendarez and Wanda Phipps**** * November 5, 2010 at 6-7pm The Bowery Poetry Club ( http://www.bowerypoetry.com/#Event/95992 ) 308 Bowery New York, NY 10012 Tickets $5 at the door. Liliana will be reading from her book of poetry,* A Scorched Page*. She will read from some of her new work as well. Her poems are inspired by nature and every day life. From folks waiting for a train to the birds that fly past her backyard, to the memories that sneak up on a quiet afternoon, they are all fair game for inspiration. Wanda will read from her two books: *Wake-Up Calls: 66 Morning Poems** and * *Field of Wanting: Poems of Desire* as well as the new work, *Silent Pictures Recognize the World,*written in response to static photographic images which mutate in writing into film noir scenes and dark romances. Stephen B. Antonakos will accompany her on guitar with tonal equivalents to the poems. Her work honors dailiness, the details of the personal, as well as the ecstasy of randomness that brings us all together. and *Artist Highlig**hts: Liliana Alamendarez, Wanda Phipps, Kate Kirtz, Ryan Murdock, and Gretchen Farrar* **November 13, 2010 at 7pm LaunchPad ( http://brooklynlaunchpad.org/ ) 721 Franklin Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11238, FREE!!!

Japan is notorious for its foxing frenzies--most of my books have tiny black and brown threads colonizing the tooth of the paper and lichen-like spoors notching away at the typographic landscapes of what I read. I have two notebooks form the 1980's that are crammed full of writing, scribbling out, worthless phone numbers, torn, dog-eared and foxed pages, pages rotting, onion skin-like, sun-burnt, spat-upon, maggot-bitten and palimpsested with white-out and bic reworkings, rain-tortured into rivulets of ink charging crookedly down the cheek of the page from black to blue to gray like the tears of a miraculous icon in a sooty corner of some yellow-walled church where nobody goes but the toothless, squint-eyed, and terminal; books falling to pieces and stinking of ancient sex and Lucky Strikes, and years spent in old winter coats for sale in the bargain bins of the Purple Heart and the Salvation Army. These are the kinds of books that excite my imagination because those old Complete Poes and The Poems of Robert Service tortured into ghostlier shapes, rain-warped into counterweights for mobiles and stabiles invites my Twombly and Rothco appreciation centers to re-activate, and these are located close to the endorphin sluices of my innermost and most secret self and jam them open, or at least tickle the hell out of them so that my tongue thrusts out to lick the plaster on the wall in joy.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for Jill, please send them to her dire= ctly. Please send the notice about her project to any indigenous, tribal, or native poet you think might benefit from her activity. Of course, a more active link between a Tribal poet and a Gaelic poet might be a plus. Thank you.

I am currently a lecturer in the Waterford Institute of Technology and am working in the area of Cultural Studies. I hope you don't mind my contacting you but your email address was given to me by Gabriel Rosenstock in the hopes that you might be interested in submitting poetry for addition to a compilation I am editing. Below is an outline of what I hope to achieve. I would be delighted if you would read over it and perhaps consider contributing. If you could get back to me whenever is convenient that would be great, Best wishes, Jill It's structure will consist of a substantial introduction to the theme of > Identity and Voice in marginalized communities, followed by two sections, > one consisting of Irish Poetry and one on Native American poetry. > The introduction will give the above theme consideration on its own and i= n > relation to the poems that follow (in addition to highlighting > problems with efficiency in translating from the original language among = other themes). There > will be two sections. The first of which will be Irish language poetry al= ongside their English translations. > > The second section would focus on poems written in Native American > Languages (I am also waiting for confirmation of possible Chomorro > submissions) with their English translation.

Utpal's oeuvre is as wide and vivid as his travels. His poetic craft is quietly iconoclastic in its deglorification of the artistic position of the poem. At the same time, the poem carefully allows for retention of poetic speech and valor. A world, as if seen through the eyes of a migratory bird, where nature exists amidst its wastefulness and tribes of lesser known ordinary people of a cultural variety, punctuate his imagery. One critic has referred to his poetic language as "mashed" while another describes it as "nomadic".

I have some topo maps with wonderful, meandering trails eaten into them by insects. A few years ago the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe did a show not of environmentally damaged books but of library books that had been vandalized because of their lesbian/gay content. A group of artists salvaged them and turned them into sculptural artists' books and other kinds of artworks. Quite moving.

Questions on translation as a discourse to consider include but are not exclusive to: How does translation practice complicate and inform languages, plural? Is translation a form of selection? What are the ethics of appropriation involved with translation? How does working on translation affect the writer?s creative work and the way in which it is received? Does translation necessarily have to be between two texts as equivalences, or can it rather be translation from disparate medias? How can say, the visual or kinesthetic be translated into text or vice-versa? Please send any work which delves into the between of translation practice to barzakhmagazine@gmail.com by November 15th. Please write ?Translation? in the subject line.

She also translated several pieces by Brazilian writers, such as Clarice Lispector and Carlos Drummond de Andrade, as well as Helena Morley, a young girl who grew up in a Brazilian mining town in the nineteenth century, whose diary she translated. An exacting and literal translator, she advances the following recommendations in her unpublished Remarks on Translation: "When a word is repeated? repeat it! (Just because English has more words than any other language except Russian?doesn't mean we have to use them all. . . .) When a line is repeated?repeat it?and also?stick to the structure" (Bishop as qtd. in Henneberg). Additionally, in a letter to Anne Stevenson, she writes that translations were to be handled "with a minimum of bloodletting or seepage" (Ibid). Questions to consider include, but are not limited to, the following: How did translation influence Bishop?s development as a poet? In what ways did Bishop accommodate the ?otherness? of cross-cultural translations? What are the ethics of Bishop?s ?literal? translations? In what ways do Bishop?s translations critique or complicate imperialist themes? In what ways does Bishop stage her own interventions in her translated works? Please send any work which delves into Bishop?s translated work to barzakh@gmail.com by November 15. Please write ?Bishop Translation? in the subject line.

Stelling has revived a sense of musical storytelling and mastery over his instrument that was thought to be long since forgotten. With a heartfelt voice, dynamic finger-picked guitar stylings, and a songwriting approach that combines folkloric, mythological, and religious imagery, Stelling has forged a style that is all his own, yet hauntingly familiar. He is a Brooklyn-based musician, hailing originally from Daytona Beach, Florida. ---- Directions: C/E to 23rd St., 1/9 to 18th St. Venue is bet. 10th and 11th avenues Next event: Tues.

Historically, philosophy has sought to explain mythology, describing it as an attempt to make sense of unknown realities. What Anne Ashbaugh practices is a creative=A0work that uses mythology to explain philosophy. In turn,=A0Mythopoiesis=A0critiques eros and psyche from a mythological locus, breaking traditional boundaries=A0and allowing innovativations=A0of=A0philosophizing to flourish. To read a portion from Mythopoiesis, please visit Anne=92s page at http://furniturepressbooks.com/chaps/ashbaugh/ _______________ from Mythopoiesis Identity resists differentiation. Yet, exiting the interior labyrinth and entering the exterior maze, a soul necessarily affirms other souls. Plato called this exterior labyrinth the circular flow that admits the presence of alterity into the boundaries of a soul. For reason=92s desire, this flow becomes a principle: the soul promises not to contradict itself. =A0When the creative soul promises fidelity to the external world, alterity becomes the soul=92s fuel. In the strife, the urge to create becomes a generator of freedoms that enables the body to soar. Sexual intercourse incarnates this birth of differentiation. Discourse begets intelligible offspring. Becoming a social self entails transforming the most creative impulse within us into the guardian of others. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Descartes=92 tragedy consists in a radica= l confusion of these two energies. Lust for certainty caused him to relinquish the guardianship of self-identity to an external power: he surrendered self-making to a transcendent god innate to the soul only as an idea. The inverted self reverses the process of alterity. The twofold transgression of reason=92s principles give rise to overwhelming paradoxes: an other, a radically other, appears as an innate, interior principle of the self. The cogito became a factory of evil geniuses. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 The monstrosity of this reversal rendered= Cartesian thought pornographic. All thinkers who view Cartesian certainty desire it erotically, without love. Like Pasiphae=92s lust for Poseidon=92s bull, the philosophical lust for certainty resorts to artificial contortions of the soul, language, and thought in order to captivate the Cartesian god. Like the Minotaur, the Cartesian god must remain in the mind by the sheer allure of the mind=92s intricate pattern. If the god decides to exit, the cogito crumbles into illusion. To make the mind even more appealing, Descartes divorced it from the body. The eyes might seduce the god into complete love, into physical intercourse with the inquirer. The mind could not witness such a betrayal. Bodies seduce gods just as effortlessly as gods beguile the mind. Wise to this predicament, Descartes hid the body from the god innately captured in the mind. Unwittingly, he engendered a modern Minotaur within rationality. Eroticized certainty burdened each human body with a bull=92s heavy head. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Epistemologists long to feel the phallic = jab of Poseidon=92s bull. They too appeal to Daedalus=92 power. Reason must alter its shape so that certainty may penetrate it. Once the practical, constructive energies of the Daedalean power of the soul function at the service of this task, reason becomes a wooden cow: it ceases to be exercised as a desire and it becomes a vessel for knowledge, an empty receptacle where love of wisdom shrivels into sheer appetite for the image of truth. Like the speaker who divorces his words from their sound, the epistemologists attempt to think without desiring. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Descartes=92 meditations prefigured virtu= al sex. In an intercourse with a god first doubted through an image of what the cogito would become, and then fiercely acknowledged as an innate idea of that cogito, the soul pleasures itself alone pretending to share its thrill with another mind. The Meditations function as an epistemological autoeroticism wherein the desire for knowledge indulges in the look of knowledge until it reaches a mental climax that paralyses desire. In Descartes=92 meditations, Fermat=92s theorem becomes psychological. There are no whole numbers greater than two. Within the self, alterity is always a proposition to the n-power. =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.

Indeed, some of my favorite books have water-damaged from sudden cloud bursts and driving (zaaa zaaa) Kyushu rains--including a Creeley Selected Poems (nice volume) that literally bulges like a show pigeon's snowy breast as it paces in its cage at the county fair waiting for the Judges in the pigeon "All Show" competition to arrive and begin their joyless evaluations. The pages seem to resist opening, but can be coaxed apart if jogged on the knee in the old "shoe-maker" position, to reveal the Creeley poems that continue to fascinate me most, each marked with a slight discoloration close to the gutter of the page, as if part of a face were occluding the light streaming in over the left shoulder of a "hidden" reader present each time I open the volume.

First, I wanted to limit the poets to the Northwest, a region with which I am more familiar than parts south. While Flavia mentioned a desire for recordings of the poets reading their own work, I knew that I would also want to conduct interviews with them, as I had missed participation in that art form, something I had extensive experience with during my 26 years in radio. I also knew that I would be interested in innovative poets..." Poets included: C.E. Putnam Carletta Carrington Wilson Dan Raphael Emily Kendal Frey Erin Malone John Olson Maged Zaher Mary Paynter Sherwin Paul Nelson Roberta Olson Sarah Mangold Thank you Rattapallax for this opportunity.

I had hammered back one too many of my favorite drinks at my next-to-favorite WATERING HOLE, and all I can remember was singing "Full Fathom Five" from the Tempest all the way across the Locust Street Bridge. Well, I announced my arrival to no one at my ratshit digs, throwing my coat in one corner and my self in the other. The next morning I searched my nominally furnished palace for said volume to no avail, Later that day, I found it about 1/4 of a mile away face down in a pile of slush on the now sun-radiant route to my sweetly crumbling abode. The spine had absorbed the smell OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS, the pages were sweating dark, clinkered water (Wisconsin road juice) and coming apart as I turned them slowly, gingerly supporting the volume with one gloved hand (brown), and turning, and peeling apart with my other, gloveless, smoothly pale hand. The back pages had assumed the appearance of an intricate, scaling palimpsest of word layered over sentence, sentence (almost geologically) striated, against the thicker paper of the BACK COVER. Indeed, the mechanical gatherings of the pages cohered in "chunks" of text, if you will, some of which seemed to be in the process of curling as they dried--during my prolonged contemplation--and others seemingly drawing even more moisture from the depths of the binding through capillary action, signaled by a significant darkening of the page. I leaned against a nearby wall to turn this ARTIFACT over and over in my hands, as if I were engaged in one of the more modern schools of SADO. After appreciating the RUIN of my book--which I had purchased at a not inconsiderable sum, given my financial situation at the time--and holding it up against the obnubilous sun to better appreciate the variety of dips, curves, and other sculptural attributes that it had attained during the previous 15 hours or so of neglect, I thought to dig for the signature of HE WHO HAD SIGNED THE VOLUME, and found that the inked salutations had formed a gray-green VINE of leaf-like cursive bleeding into itself and drying with the very application of my BREATH.

Professor Chuck Rosenthal, Department of English, chair Panelists: Sherry Jason began studying ballet at the age of 4, and at the age of 11 sh= e began teaching ballet to neighborhood children for fifty cents a class in her parent=B9s garage. Even then, it was her firm belief that classes in th= e Arts should be provided free for those children whose parents could not afford to pay. Ms. Jason performed as a soloist with Ballet Concerto and ha= s continued her teaching for over 50 years. Graduating from UCLA with a BA in Psychology, she received her Juris Doctor from Southwestern University School of Law. In l975, Ms. Jason was sworn in as a member of the State Bar of California in private ceremonies by the Honorable Consuelo Marshall (now a member of the Federal Bench). Ms. Jason joined the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office Juvenile Division in l977. It was there that she met her husband and partner of 33 years, Bob Jason. Describing herself as an "Attorney at Law/Ballerina at Heart," Sherr= y and Bob Jason created Ballet for Topanga in l979, and together produce The Topanga Nutcracker Ballet now in its 30th season. Through their experiences in the Juvenile Justice System, Sherry and Bob formulated a philosophy on the nature of delinquency, intervention and prevention. In l983, the Jasons used all their savings and borrowed from friends and family to create the Downtown Dance Studio/L.A. Fringe Theatre to be the artistic home to our community=B9s most impoverished children. City Hearts = was created in l984 to provide FREE classes to Skid Row, inner city, and at-greatest-risk children. Now celebrating 25 years, City Hearts has provided quality Arts education to over 27,000 children. As an advocate and instructor in the Arts arena for over 46 years, and as a= n attorney and defender of children's rights for over 30 years, Sherry Jason is uniquely qualified to create, direct and implement City Hearts' innovative programs of prevention. Utilizing her extensive dance background, Ms. Jason choreographed a segment on Jane Seymour's "Medicine Woman" TV series and has been interviewed regarding City Hearts' award-winning programs by NBC Nightly News and featured on CBS, CNN and other local and international news programs including Oprah. City Hearts has been named to the President's Committee on the Arts & Humanities and been honored by the Sesame Street Parents Magazin= e and the Children's Television Network as an inaugural recipient of the "Sunny Days Award." In 2008, Ms. Jason helped to write the Standards/Foundations for Dance Education for 3/4 Year Olds for the California Department of Education. Keren Taylor, founder and Executive Director of WriteGirl, has been active as a community leader for more than 15 years. She has edited and designed dozens of anthologies and has served as publisher and editor of all of WriteGirl's award-winning books. Passionate about helping women and girls, Keren has conducted hundreds of creative writing workshops for youth and adults, and has led staff development workshops for the California Paraeducators Conference, California School-age Consortium, California Department of Education, Los Angeles County Office of Education, LA's BEST and the New York Partnership for After School Education, among others. Kere= n has been selected to serve as a Community Champion and facilitator for the Annenberg Alchemy Program and is a popular speaker at conferences and book festivals nationwide including the Association of Writing Programs (AWP) Annual Conference, BOOST Conference, Los Angeles Times Festival of Books an= d Guiding Lights Festival. Keren is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades, including the President's Volunteer Call to Service Award, Business & Professional Women's Community Woman of Achievement Award, Soroptomist International's Woman of Distinction Award, commendations from Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and others. Erin Cottrell is an award winning actress best known for her performance in Michael Landon Jr.'s, Love Comes Softly series as well as being the new Caroline Ingalls in Disney/ABC's Little House on the Prairie. She has had a= n extensive career in film and television including guest lead appearances on E.R., CSI:NY, Cold Case, Medium, NUMB3RS, Ed, and Stranger's With Candy, as well as reoccurring characters on All My Children and The Guiding Light. He= r film credits include Legally Blonde 2, Love's Abiding Joy and Faith of My Father's, (the film based on John McCain's biography.) Most recently she wa= s seen alongside Jason Alexander and Christopher Lloyd in the NBC mini-series= , METEOR. When Erin is not filming she is teaching. Since 2002 she has been a proud teacher for the nonprofit organization, City Hearts: Kids Say Yes to the Arts. She has taught jazz, hip hop, musical theatre, Shakespeare, black and white photography and acting to the at risk youth of East LA and Oxnard, bringing the arts into vastly under-funded areas. Her love of teaching underprivileged youth stems from her work in London at the Young Vic Theatre, where she was a performance intern. There she had the opportunity to run a summer program with at risk high school students to create dramati= c pieces about their lives in the city. She feels fortunate to be able to be directly involved in the lives of her students and to offer them a new kind of self-expression and sense of confidence that they would otherwise not be exposed to. The children that she has had the opportunity to work with have deeply touched her life and improved her understanding of the power of the arts more than she could have imagined. Erin is also a member of The New Hollywood, an elite group of female performers focused on supporting women in the arts. Each year they raise an= d donate thousands of dollars to charities throughout the world supporting children in need and arts education.

Angie received both a Kramarae Outstanding Dissertation Award from the Organization for the Study of Communication, Language & Gender and Foote Distinguished Dissertation Award from the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Michigan in 2006 for her work on power and Black women and girls' aggression in hip hop culture, and her work, "What I= s This Gangstressism in Popular Culture?" appears in the anthology Next Wave Cultures: Feminism, Subcultures, Activism by Anita Harris (2008). The (SIS)TEM is a collective of female emcees, producers, vocalist, and Djs= , co-founded by Aceyalone and DVS 1, from the legendary Project Blowed in Los Angeles. DVS 1 created and hosted a hip hop show respectively named, "Femal= e Perspective." Being a female emcee she saw that on the main stream, as well as the underground, women weren't getting their just due. She decided to organize an event show-ing off the ladies' talent. By the time she reached the second one the roster for performers doubled. This prompted the idea to create an album of all female emcees because apparently there was an untouched fan base out there for it. "We never knew there were so many hungry, motivated driven women all on the same grind". You can call it "the female Wu-Tang". The (SIS)TEM is about 7 Core Members (all solo artists) an= d a host of about 15-20 affiliates, all coming together to push one goal; For women to gain the respect they deserve on the mic. The (SIS)TEM came about during a time when Hip Hop is starving for feminine energy. These women are definitely filling the void with quality music. *4-5 pm | University Hall East Atrium* "Dust of Gold" - Performance by Elia Arce Elia Arce is an internationally known Costa Rican artist and cultural activist who works in a wide variety of media, including performance, experimental theater, film/video, spoken word and installation. Hosted by Ruben Martinez, Fletcher Jones Chair of Literature and Writing "Dust of Gold" is an interactive installation project for Bellarmine Forum 2010 at Loyola Marymount University based on the "Alfombras de Aserr=EDn" o= r street carpets of sawdust made for Easter in Guatemala, a tradition with roots solidly in Mayan culture dating back to long before the Spanish arrived. The colorful and fragrant use of carpets of pine needles, flowers and other natural elements has its beginnings in the Mayan custom of creating pathways for kings and priests to walk upon when entering ceremonial locations and for use in sacred spaces. A ritual performance art piece honoring the Tongva ("people of the earth") tribes that inhabited thi= s region before the arrival of the Europeans, will take place the last evenin= g of the forum. I am already consulting with Tongva leaders in order to make sure I am respectful of their ways. "Dust of Gold" is the result of the fusion of traditional and contemporary art forms. This carpet welcomes the Golden Era, which starts at the end of the Mayan calendar in Dec. 2012. And symbolically envisions the coming together of the Mayan and Aztec nations for the future of the cosmos. The design that I have created is based on the Mayan calendar round made up of two cycles and the number 0. The outer ring represents 18 months of 20 days each and 1 month of 5 days, which equals 365 days. The inner golden ring represents 13 numbers that repeat themselves endlessly within a 20-day cycle, represented here by the outer golden ring. And the image at the center is the Mayan symbol for the number 0, which represents the "navel of the world" from where the sacred tree springs: the beginning of all things. This is where the final performance will most likely take place. Reception 5-7 pm *5-7 pm | Thomas P. Kelly, Jr Student Art Gallery* "The Purpose of Being" - Opening Reception for the LA artists/activists and LMU collaborators Curator Ronald Lopez from the 18th Street Arts Center and LMU Faculty Liaisons Jane Brucker and SaeRi Cho Dobson The exhibition participants for The Purpose of Being at Loyola Marymount University include: Selected LMU students led by Amitis Motevalli, Arzu Arda Kosar, Elana Mann = + Vera Brunner-Sung, Jane Brucker, Kristin Ross Lauterbach + Christina Lee Storm, Ofunne Obiamiwe and SaeRi Cho Dobson. The Purpose of Being, which will run simultaneously with Harmony Reverberates Optimism (HRO). The HRO exhibit will be held at Jaus Gallery (1943 S. Westgate Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90025). Each exhibit focuses on women and their efforts to create social change through their art form. Bot= h exhibits exercise social criticism at its highest form through, not only aesthetically pleasing work, but art that provokes dialogue and pushes boundaries; art that is active and penetrates society in such a way that it promotes itself fiercely and unapologetically. Artists involved push the limits and blur the line between activist and artist. The two exhibits will coexist as a dialogue with one another. Harmony Reverberates Optimism was originally exhibited at McNish Gallery, Oxnard College and now becomes the precursor to its evolved counter part and "action" show, The Purpose of Being. The original exhibit will be shown in its entirety at Jaus gallery. The intention of The Purpose of Being takes the ideas from the Harmony show a step further as it becomes the "action" o= f Optimism. Each artist will "activate" selected students from Loyola Marymount University and collaborate on new social interventions that will lead to new discussions and art works exhibited during the Bellarmine Forum= . *6 pm | Laband Art Gallery* Kim Abeles: Art and Activism Artist's Gallery Walkthrough; Kim Abeles LA artist Kim Abeles mines the urban environment with a great sense of curiosity. She incorporates both conventional and unorthodox media-from using smog particles to quilting with trash-to explore broad social topics. In her own artistic practice and community collaborations, she uses metaphors and humor to bring our attention to crucial issues such as pollution, gender roles, civil rights, and even traffic. Abeles was born in Richmond Heights, Missouri in 1952. She received her BFA from Ohio University and her MFA from University of California, Irvine. The Smog Collector series brought her work to national and international attention in the art world, and mainstream sources such as Newsweek, National Public Radio, CBS Evening News, and The Wall Street Journal. She continues to exhibit internationally, including recent projects in Vietnam, Thailand, Czech Republic, England, and China. She represented the U.S. in both the Fotografie Biennale Rotterdam and the Cultural Centre of Berchem i= n Antwerp.

I will read Kent's article, + your attached grouse. I don't have a big problem with Attention Span (or the attention span to read it carefully, even on behalf of my own books). I'm just murmuring in public. I searched for my publisher too, Publishing Genius (which, despite a recent obituary, is not dead), but didn't find. There's bound to be a generational thing too: Attention Span sketches a community + shows its limits.

Fortunately, the book did not sink right away, but slowly listed to the side in the emerald green antiseptic and deodorizing solution in the tank, while Kenneth's eyes staring woefully up through the lapping green waves. It took about 30 minutes to wrangle the volume up with a fish hook and ten feet of nylon line borrowed from a neighboring fisherman. The solution had dyed the pages a delightful color, though the photograph on the cover was relatively unchanged and continued to present that old, cunning gentleman, in a manner that might have elicited a comment from Susan Sontag regarding the uncanny in photography had she been standing beside me. The sun was barely out that day, but I deposited the book on the back step of my one-room country "mansion" where it drew a few hopeful flies and an ant.

The scene was a tragic one: a barn that had once housed several dozen sheep had been burnt to the ground with the sheep still inside--the carcasses of which, with wool pelt intact--remained scattered among the smoking timbers. The fire engines had just left, but several State Troopers were still collecting evidence, and the general consensus was that it was almost certainly arson. I had been reading the SPICER TEXT by flashlight, as the sun had not risen yet, but found that the combined car headlights, flashing gumball machines atop the cars of the troopers, and abrupt illuminations from the flash units of the reporters' cameras (remember, this was way back in the days before digital), not to mention the steady-state flickerings of the charred and clinkered upper walls and fallen ceilings of the barn provided enough ambient light that I could put away my flashlight with no qualms about the safety of my eyesight. Indeed, by this flickering light, the early poems seemed to possess a strength and beauty that I had not noticed in the amber light of my electric lit room. I stood with the book held loosely in my left hand (bad mistake!), when an old college friend, whom I hadn't seen in years, chose that particular moment to tap me on the shoulder. I was startled from my grief-stricken-transience-of-all-earthly-things-pose, and whirled about, only to be greeted by the somewhat glowing teeth and silhouette of my old friend, who quickly announced his name (WHICH SHALL NOT BE GIVEN HERE), to preclude any further signs of panic on my part. He was too later, however, as the volume was spun from my grip and tumbled into the ashes, sending a sneeze-pattern cloud of firefly-like POINTS OF LIGHT--perhaps 1000 of them into the Republican sky! Cheered on by the voice of my friend, I located a stick and scraped the volume towards us, though it had already TAKEN FIRE with an almost supernal beauty of orange and copper-colored flames. Finally, I could reach under the crime-scene tape and rake the book onto the wet grass. I stepped on the book 20 times or so to transmogrify the magnetic flames into a drizzle of smoke. Then, borrowing my friend's handkerchief, I lifted the volume into the rays of the barely risen sun to inspect the damage. All of the front matter had been craggily carbonized, up to about page 25 (if I recall correctly), and was missing due to the repeated application of my steel-toed work shoe. However, the latter half of the volume, though partially carbonized and truncated by the action of the flames, was still legible, though brittle, and as I attempted to read the TEXT, noting here and there the various modifications of form (and consequently of meaning) I could see that my fingertips and the upper joints of my fingers, had turned black (almost to blueness) with the charred leavings of the lower portions of the pages and binding. Sensing the sudden change in mood of my friend from the solemnity of a shared grief to a barely repressed hilarity bursting to be expressed in the mutton-fragrant air, I pulled the remaining pages apart and mentioned to my friend, how the book looked for all the world like something to be deposited in the trash bin. And later, after sketching the literary remains in my journal to make sure that I had taken sufficient notice of every part--it was.

We are in the single and only moment of creation, the Big Bang, when falling in love becomes the obsessive reiteration of a unique poetics, that of being obliged to surrender the Self, forging an oblivion of the skin. While the text can be read as a footnote to its immediate predecessor "Madonna Septet", it remains stubbornly on its own, an amlagam of madness and intuition about Light and its myriad fragments.
