Durgin" Subject: Insomnia and the Aunt, by Tan Lin MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Kenning Editions is pleased to announce the publication of */Insomnia and the Aunt/, by Tan Lin.* */Insomnia and the Aunt/, by Tan Lin.* Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. Cross-Genre. Art. Asian American Studies. Tan Lin's INSOMNIA AND THE AUNT is an ambient novel composed of black and white photographs, postcards, Google reverse searches, letters, appendices, an index to an imaginary novel, reruns, and footnotes. The aunt in question can't sleep. She runs a motel in the Pacific Northwest. She likes watching Conan O'Brien late at night. She may be the narrator's aunt or she may be an emanation of a TV set. Structured like everybody's scrapbook, and blending fiction with nonfictional events, INSOMNIA AND THE AUNT is about identities taken and given up, and about the passions of an immigrant life, rebroadcast as furniture. Ostensibly about a young man's disintegrating memory of his most fascinating relative, or potentially a conceptualist take on immigrant literature, it is probably just a treatment for a prime-time event that, because no one sleeps in motels, lasts into the late night and daytime slots. Tan Lin is the author of /Lotion Bullwhip Giraffe/, /BlipSoak01/,/ Ambience is a Novel with a Logo/, /Heath (Plagiarism/Outsource)/ and /7 Controlled Vocabularies and Obituary 2004. The Joy of Cooking (2010)/. His work has appeared in numerous journals including /Conjunctions/, /Artforum/, /Cabinet/, /New York Times Book Review/, /Art in America/, and /Purple/. His video, theatrical and LCD work have been shown at the Marianne Boesky Gallery, Yale Art Museum, Sophienholm Museum (Copenhagen), Ontological Hysterical Theatre, and as part of the Whitney Museum of American Art's Soundcheck Series. Lin is the recipient of a Getty Distinguished Scholar Grant for 2004-2005 and a Warhol Foundation/Creative Capital Arts Writing Grant to complete a book-length study of the writings of Andy Warhol. He has taught at the University of Virginia and Cal Arts, and currently teaches creative writing at New Jersey City University. He has just completed a sampled novel, entitled /Our Feelings Were Made by Hand/.

My Proposal for A MARCH FOR MUTATION MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Just had a stirring encounter on this topic with our favorite multi-translator Sam Hamil. We like Sam, and find his translations to be ok--though we spent a good part of a year with an absolutely brilliant, 70 year old grad student, who is a Tokyo patent attorney--a native speaker--and linguist, taking a good look at his version of Oku No Hosomichi and finding it somewhat inaccurate--even in the very beginning passage. I lack Sam's spiritual pedigree too: I don't spout great wisdom from the East that sounds suspiciously like bromides, I haven't guessed my way in and around a Zen koan, or any of that stuff. He likes to do that, and I don't mind. But here's the point: I love great literature and I love Sam Hamil's work, but I see no connection between great literature, great art, great music, and the end to violence, fascism, genocide, human suffering of all stripes, hunger, etc.; neither do I see it as the beginning of the fight for equality of any sort, contentment among the masses of workers, and a torch for those toiling on in darkness, etc. Reasonable people enjoy great literature because it presents at most moments of clarity for them, manners of being, surprises in content and style--memorable tropes. I would say that tyrants and despots are not the people who march in the streets with reasonable people demanding social equality, change, the end to all violence and universal peace. I would say that even if tyrants and despots read Jack Kerouac it would still not keep them from being tyrants and despots. In addition, I believe that even if the leaders of the free world end their day of leading the free-est of the free worlds by reading Jack Kerouac, Byron's Don Juan, Erica Jong's Fear of Flying, the Great Books from Chicago, etc. those leaders, and those tyrants and despots would still reach for the nearest telephone to call their soldiers, their police, or their operatives when it was time for them to deal with their sense of the "real" world and its problems. My opinion, which I spelled out to Sam, but which he really didn't look so closely at since he was busy telling me that one step is the beginning of the journey of a thousand miles and that great literature does make a difference in the world because he just knew that the Bible and Jack Kerouac made a difference. (He listed a few more.) But my point was that, yes, great literature makes a difference to reasonable people like you--reading this posting right now--and Sam, and me--Jess--but that marching, stomping and singing "All We Are Saying is Give Peace A Chance" and Dostoevsky and Baudelaire, etc., doesn't make a difference to anyone but people like us. It tends to make us feel better. But if you look back over history you will see that culture and great literature has always been worthless in the face of great violence and great despair and great suffering. We know that Hitler read Goethe and Grabbe and listened to Beethoven, and that other evil Idiots like Sadam of Iraq was well up on Gilgamesh and fancied himself a poet. Yet he still put men in wood chippers and watched them yell until they couldn't any more. My thinking is that marching everywhere a million or a trillion strong is good for us, and writing protest poetry, etc., is wonderful because we're on the side of right. We represent the apex of all things good, so we should continue to make those feel-good gestures, but, honestly folks, there's a logical disconnect here. Great literature has been with us for a long while and the powers that be are still violent. We're still killing each other, still suffering in all kinds of ways. I think Art and Culture and Literature have had a tremendous number of chances to make a change. In addition, it seems that tyrants and despots and even leaders of the free world are getting better at ignoring great literature, cultural accomplishments, marches and protests--which they are developing the technology to control, police, manage, and delete. What I said to Sam was that perhaps the only way to really "stop the violence" was to change--not our ideas--but our fundamental natures so that the old violent Homo Sapiens whose ancestors came out of Africa with a yen for cooked meat and an ability to fashion stone tools of ambiguous use--that Homo Sapiens that we now are--should be remade into something other than ourselves. The most efficient way to do it is through science. Prayer doesn't work. We can't pray tyrants to death. Singing doesn't work. Woody Guthrie tried that and maybe Dylan too. And anyway, tyrants and despots don't listen much to songs like that. Writing great books doesn't do it. they'll just be remaindered unless they're made into a movie with the latest heart throbs in it. I have no idea what forcing a Mugabi or a Khadaffi to read On the Road would result in--but even though I'm guessing here--you hear me Sam, I'm just guessing--I don't think it would help them help us achieve the world peace that we sincerely seek. Only a mutation effected through genetic means--a little radiation beamed at the old chromosomes at the right time--would maybe zap that violent nature of ours in the most efficient manner. Then all those potential wielders of power in the future would not be violent. Then we could enjoy great literature and art without the illusion that any of those activities that make us feel good about ourselves actually does anything in this awful world of ours. My suggestion is that we have a grand March for Mutation--1000 bodies strong or more. Like the war on cancer--but even more so--let's declare a war on our selves and demand the right kind of change. We need to demand funding for genetic change, for DNA management, so that our children will live in a better, peaceful world, where they can enjoy great literature and recognize it for what it truly is. I'd march for that kind of REAL CHANGE. How about you? Jess ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

ISBN 1-936687-03-8 | EAN-13978-1-936687-03-9 from the book: How do our retinal experiences alter what we think we know about alphabet? From minimal to maximal, the alphabet is explored and expanded on= . From the contextual aggregates and combinations of letters to the visual elements that form a single letter. The visual poetry of alphabet insists that writing is the drawing of what and how we think, and within that writing, images accrue, the letters themselves, drawn, or otherwise printed= , are illustrating or reproducing our thought. Nico Vassilakis appears before us a master of visual poetry, one of the few= , someone who understands the arrangement of letters into stareable sense, an unsense of the breathing heart, and he appears before us speaking of visual poetry as an act of making and seeing, speaking to us, speaking of himself, showing through the pages of this vast but tiny poetics just what his preaching practices, and the words are beautiful and teach of visual poetry as a poetry as told to us through a poetic poetics, and the images of letters, these dark and suppurating visual poems scattered through the text= , haunt us back into sleep, back into dreaming of the humped and crooked and gracefully curving shapes of letters that have become an essential element of our blood=97it is all here, where everything is of a piece and shattered into pieces. =97Geof Huth Nico Vassilakis has created the perfect volume to delight and inspire the full spectrum of a visual poetry audience, ranging from someone unaware of the art, to the fully engaged, addicted practitioner of vispo. He delves into the progressively crystalline elements of visual poetry: the word, the letter, the fraction of a letter. The writing is brilliant; the visual poetry, stunning. Staring is replete with pure discovery, rendered in textual and visio-textual dimensions. Vassilakis recalls, reveals, and spawns pure visual poetry, inspiring full attunement to an inventively distilled magic. =97Sheila E. Murphy Wow! I attended the Avant Writing conference where Nico Vassilakis composed staring@poetics and marvel how he is able to perform the formidable multitasking of writing this long poem and illustrating it with stunningly beautiful, computer generated, visual letter poems as his take on their emotional, visual impact while remaining attentive to the many oral presentations at this conference. But I shouldn=92t be surprised =96 I have followed his poetic career for many years and found him to be one of the most challenging, cutting-edge, American poets today. The long poem or the visual poems are each worth the price of the book. This book deserves a place in any library of contemporary poetry. =97Marvin A Sackner Co-Founder, The Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry, Miami, FL ___________________ Xexoxial Editions 10375 County Highway Alphabet La Farge, WI 54639 www.xexoxial.org perspicacity@xexoxial.org =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.

Few who know Tagore as a poet are also aware that his contribution to Indian music was Mozartian, that a flourishing range of songs based on his verse and music called "Rabindrasangeet" have been sung in virtually every Bengali home for more than a century now; an equally brilliant painter, a septuagenarian Tagore became great friends with the German expressionists; that he was a virtuoso playwright, prolific essayist, novelist, dramatist, educationist, philanthropist, talented singer, stage-actor, specialized in doodlist art, the first short-story writer in an Indian language, the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, collaborator of M. K. Gandhi as a messanger of world peace etc. etc. The list goes on.

I'm particularly happy to see it used in classes at Stanford University and Eckard College. I thought I'd share two of the most recent and most interesting projects. Here's a link to "Final Wisdom I"--a Haptic Poetry Installation by the intermedia artist John Filiwak and Donald Kuspit, a poet and art critic from NYU Stony Brook. http://idialab.org/projects/36 I'm most tickled by the New York based Louisiana artist Margaret Evangeline's use of the term to describe her "Love Poems for Wet Paint"--which she says is a continuation of her gunshot wounds in stainless steel panel mode of creating art. In the words of the artist these works are "haptic poetry...odes to the savage sensation of painting."

We share a roomy, sunny apartment in a great neighborhood (Kensington, Brooklyn) and we're looking for someone who might be interested in subletting her half of the apartment over the summer. Our apartment is laid out in such a way that both of us can have our privacy with my two rooms in the back of the apartment and a large shared kitchen and full bath between us. My roommate's very large, sunny living/work space and a small bedroom in the front of the apartment is available, from June 7th to August 20th, for only $700 a month. We are looking for someone who is cat friendly because we have a friendly cat named Hephaestus. We are only two blocks from the F and G trains. We are close to the laundromat, supermarket, post office, the shopping district along Church Avenue and only three subway stops from Park Slope. I am a writer, my roommate is a puppeteer, and we are looking for a mature, clean, quiet woman to sublet her half of the apartment over the summer months. If you any have questions or want to discuss this further please contact my roommate by phone 718-853-7350 or email me at phipps.wanda@gmail.com. If you know someone who might be interested please feel free to pass along this info.

Described by Time Out Amsterdam as "beautifully manicured", Versal 9 is the biggest, boldest, and most stunning issue to date. Antoinette Nausika=E4's striking art piece "I am happy" opens the 140-page issue. Versal 9 also includes a special section dedicated to an as-yet unseen work by Alice Notley, our first-ever insert (an art piece by Paris-based UK artist Francene), and new writing from a myriad of today=B9s most exciting voices, including Tony Mancus (USA), Maya Sarishvili (Georgia), Heather Hartley (USA), Louis Armand (Australia), Yago Cura (Argentina-USA), Lizzi Thistlethwayte (UK), and Stacy Kidd (USA). Like its predecessors, Versal 9 is a calmly crafted yet filled-to-the-brim journal that redefines the literary in print. It is now available at select bookshops and online at www.versaljournal.org. About Versal Versal is published annually by the Amsterdam-based wordsinhere group, a non-profit, volunteer-run organization for international writers living and working in the Netherlands. Its editors hail from Canada, Russia, the UK, the USA and the Netherlands, and are led by American poet Megan M. Garr. A publication celebrating translocal intersections and cross-cultural dialogue, Versal is internationally renowned for the quality of work published by up-and-coming as well as established writers, and for its strong attention to design and production values.

My Pr= oposal for A MARCH FOR MUTATION=0A= =0A= Just had a stirring encounter on this topic with our favorite=0A= multi-translator Sam Hamil. We like Sam, and find his translations to=0A= be ok--though we spent a good part of a year with an absolutely=0A= brilliant, 70 year old grad student, who is a Tokyo patent attorney--a=0A= native speaker--and linguist, taking a good look at his version of Oku=0A= No Hosomichi and finding it somewhat inaccurate--even in the very=0A= beginning passage.=0A= =0A= I lack Sam's spiritual pedigree too: I don't spout great wisdom from=0A= the East that sounds suspiciously like bromides, I haven't guessed my=0A= way in and around a Zen koan, or any of that stuff. He likes to do=0A= that, and I don't mind.=0A= =0A= But here's the point: I love great literature and I love Sam Hamil's=0A= work, but I see no connection between great literature, great art, great=0A= music, and the end to violence, fascism, genocide, human suffering of=0A= all stripes, hunger, etc.; neither do I see it as the beginning of the=0A= fight for equality of any sort, contentment among the masses of workers,=0A= and a torch for those toiling on in darkness, etc.=0A= =0A= Reasonable people enjoy great literature because it presents at most=0A= moments of clarity for them, manners of being, surprises in content and=0A= style--memorable tropes.=0A= =0A= I would say that tyrants and despots are not the people who march in the=0A= streets with reasonable people demanding social equality, change, the=0A= end to all violence and universal peace. I would say that even if=0A= tyrants and despots read Jack Kerouac it would still not keep them from=0A= being tyrants and despots. In addition, I believe that even if the=0A= leaders of the free world end their day of leading the free-est of the=0A= free worlds by reading Jack Kerouac, Byron's Don Juan, Erica Jong's=0A= Fear of Flying, the Great Books from Chicago, etc. those leaders, and=0A= those tyrants and despots would still reach for the nearest telephone to=0A= call their soldiers, their police, or their operatives when it was time=0A= for them to deal with their sense of the "real" world and its problems.=0A= =0A= My opinion, which I spelled out to Sam, but which he really didn't look=0A= so closely at since he was busy telling me that one step is the=0A= beginning of the journey of a thousand miles and that great literature=0A= does make a difference in the world because he just knew that the Bible=0A= and Jack Kerouac made a difference. (He listed a few more.)=0A= =0A= But my point was that, yes, great literature makes a difference to=0A= reasonable people like you--reading this posting right now--and Sam, and=0A= me--Jess--but that marching, stomping and singing "All We Are Saying is=0A= Give Peace A Chance" and Dostoevsky and Baudelaire, etc., doesn't make=0A= a difference to anyone but people like us. It tends to make us feel=0A= better. But if you look back over history you will see that culture and=0A= great literature has always been worthless in the face of great violence=0A= and great despair and great suffering. We know that Hitler read Goethe=0A= and Grabbe and listened to Beethoven, and that other evil Idiots like=0A= Sadam of Iraq was well up on Gilgamesh and fancied himself a poet. Yet=0A= he still put men in wood chippers and watched them yell until they=0A= couldn't any more.=0A= =0A= My thinking is that marching everywhere a million or a trillion strong is= =0A= good for us, and writing protest poetry, etc., is wonderful because=0A= we're on the side of right. We represent the apex of all things good,=0A= so we should continue to make those feel-good gestures, but, honestly=0A= folks, there's a logical disconnect here. Great literature has been=0A= with us for a long while and the powers that be are still violent.=0A= We're still killing each other, still suffering in all kinds of ways.=0A= I think Art and Culture and Literature have had a tremendous number of=0A= chances to make a change.=0A= =0A= In addition, it seems that tyrants and despots and even leaders of the=0A= free world are getting better at ignoring great literature, cultural=0A= accomplishments, marches and protests--which they are developing the=0A= technology to control, police, manage, and delete.=0A= =0A= What I said to Sam was that perhaps the only way to really "stop the=0A= violence" was to change--not our ideas--but our fundamental natures so=0A= that the old violent Homo Sapiens whose ancestors came out of Africa=0A= with a yen for cooked meat and an ability to fashion stone tools of=0A= ambiguous use--that Homo Sapiens that we now are--should be remade into=0A= something other than ourselves. The most efficient way to do it is=0A= through science. Prayer doesn't work. We can't pray tyrants to=0A= death. Singing doesn't work. Woody Guthrie tried that and maybe Dylan=0A= too. And anyway, tyrants and despots don't listen much to songs like=0A= that. Writing great books doesn't do it. they'll just be remaindered=0A= unless they're made into a movie with the latest heart throbs in it. I=0A= have no idea what forcing a Mugabi or a Khadaffi to read On the Road=0A= would result in--but even though I'm guessing here--you hear me Sam,=0A= I'm just guessing--I don't think it would help them help us achieve=0A= the world peace that we sincerely seek.=0A= =0A= Only a mutation effected through genetic means--a little radiation beamed= =0A= at the old chromosomes at the right time--would maybe zap that violent=0A= nature of ours in the most efficient manner. Then all those potential=0A= wielders of power in the future would not be violent.=0A= =0A= Then we could enjoy great literature and art without the illusion that=0A= any of those activities that make us feel good about ourselves actually=0A= does anything in this awful world of ours.=0A= =0A= My suggestion is that we have a grand March for Mutation--1000 bodies=0A= strong or more. Like the war on cancer--but even more so--let's=0A= declare a war on our selves and demand the right kind of change. We=0A= need to demand funding for genetic change, for DNA management, so that=0A= our children will live in a better, peaceful world, where they can enjoy=0A= great literature and recognize it for what it truly is.

Central yet marginalized within their respective discourses, the genus of this anthology is to change the dominant focus. By pairing these =91non-canonical=92 texts, this anthology opens new vistas, and makes new connections amplifying human and cultural concerns all too often lost in the official Anglo-American literary and cultural canon." ** Dr Brian =D3 Conchubhair, of the University of Notre Dame, Indiana.

THE WILLOW'S WHISPER brings the voices of 35 poets from the Irish and Native American communities together in one compilation. This collection of poems provides an aesthetic commentary on the potential which is beyond and within the everyday. From Gabriel Rosenstock and Biddy Jenkinson to N. Scott Momaday and Karenne Wood, and from Joy Harjo to Paddy Bushe and Biddy Jenkinson, this compilation showcases poetry from the finest poets in both communities. Native America and Ireland : you might ask ... What are the commonalities? Furthermore : why bring them together through poetry?

From = 1971 to =0A2001, the number of bachelor=E2=80=99s degrees awarded in Englis= h declined by 20 percent, but the number awarded in math and statistics dec= lined by 55 =0Apercent. The only areas of the liberal arts that saw an incr= ease in BAs =0Aawarded were biology and psychology=E2=80=94and this at a ti= me when aggregate =0Aenrollment expanded by something like 75 percent. On t= he work that is =0Adone in the academy depends the strength of our economy,= our public =0Apolicy and our culture. We need our best young minds going i= nto =0Aatmospheric research and international affairs and religious studies= , =0Achemistry and ethnography and art history. By pursuing their individua= l =0Ainterests, narrowly understood, departments are betraying both the =0A= values they are pledged to uphold=E2=80=94the pursuit of knowledge, the spi= rit =0Aof critical inquiry, the extension of the humanistic tradition=E2=80= =94and the =0Anation they exist to serve.=0A=0A=0A* * *=0A=0AWhat we have s= een instead over the past forty years, in addition to the =0Araising of a r= eserve army of contingent labor, is a kind of =0Aadministrative elephantias= is, an explosion in the number of people =0Aworking at colleges and univers= ities who aren=E2=80=99t faculty, full-time or =0Apart-time, of any kind. F= rom 1976 to 2001, the number of nonfaculty =0Aprofessionals ballooned nearl= y 240 percent, growing more than three =0Atimes as fast as the faculty. Coa= ching staffs and salaries have grown =0Awithout limit; athletic departments= are virtually separate colleges =0Awithin universities now, competing (suc= cessfully) with academics. The =0Asize of presidential salaries=E2=80=94mor= e than $1 million in several dozen =0Acases=E2=80=94has become notorious. N= or is it only the presidents; the next six =0Amost highly paid administrati= ve officers at Yale averaged over $430,000 =0Ain 2007. As Gaye Tuchman expl= ains in Wannabe U (2009), a case =0Astudy in the sorrows of academic corpor= atization, deans, provosts and =0Apresidents are no longer professors who c= ycle through administrative =0Aduties and then return to teaching and resea= rch. Instead, they have =0Abecome a separate stratum of managerial careeris= ts, jumping from job to =0Ajob and organization to organization like any ot= her executive: isolated =0Afrom the faculty and its values, loyal to an eth= os of short-term =0Aexpansion, and trading in the business blather of measu= rability, revenue streams, mission statements and the like. They do not hav= e the =0Along-term health of their institutions at heart. They want to pump= up =0Athe stock price (i.e., U.S. News and World Report ranking) and move = on to the next fat post.=0A=0A* * *=0A=0AWhat we have in academia, in other= words, is a microcosm of the =0AAmerican economy as a whole: a self-enrich= ing aristocracy, a swelling =0Aand increasingly immiserated proletariat, an= d a shrinking middle class. =0AThe same devil=E2=80=99s bargain stabilizes = the system: the middle, or at least =0Athe upper middle, the tenured profes= soriate, is allowed to retain its =0Aprerogatives=E2=80=94its comfortable c= ompensation packages, its workplace =0Aautonomy and its job security=E2=80= =94in return for acquiescing to the =0Aexploitation of the bottom by the to= p, and indirectly, the betrayal of =0Athe future of the entire enterprise.= =0A=0A* * *=0A=0ABut the tenure system, which is already being eroded by th= e growth of =0Acontingent labor, is not the only thing that is under assaul= t in the =0Atop-down, corporatized academy. As Cary Nelson explains in No U= niversity Is an Island (2010), shared governance=E2=80=94the principle that= universities should be =0Acontrolled by their faculties, which protects ac= ademic values against =0Athe encroachments of the spreadsheet brigade=E2=80= =94is also threatened by the =0Achanging structure of academic work. Contin= gent labor undermines it both directly=E2=80=94no one asks an adjunct what = he thinks of how things run=E2=80=94and =0Aindirectly. More people chasing = fewer jobs means that everyone is =0Asqueezed for extra productivity, just = like at Wal-Mart. As of 1998, =0Afaculty at four-year schools worked an ave= rage of about seven hours more per week than they had in 1972 (for a total = of more than forty-nine =0Ahours a week; the stereotype of the lazy academi= c is, like that of the =0Awelfare queen, a politically useful myth). Not su= rprisingly, they also =0Areported a shrinking sense of influence over campu= s affairs. Who=E2=80=99s got =0Athe time? Academic labor is becoming like e= very other part of the =0AAmerican workforce: cowed, harried, docile, disem= powered.=0A=0AIn macropolitical terms, the erosion of tenure and shared gov= ernance =0Aundermines the power of a large body of liberal professionals. I= n this =0Ait resembles the campaign against teachers unions. Tenure, in fac= t, is a lot like unionization: imperfect, open to corruption and abuse, but= =0Aincomparably better than the alternative. Indeed, tenure is what =0Apro= fessors have instead of unions (at least at private universities, =0Awhere = they=E2=80=99re banned by law from organizing). As for shared governance, = =0Ait is nothing other than one of the longest-standing goals of the left: = =0Aemployee control of the workplace. Yes, professors have it better than a= lot of other workers, including a lot of others in the academy. But the an= swer, for the less advantaged, is to organize against the employers =0Awho= =E2=80=99ve created the situation, not drag down the relatively privileged = =0Aworkers who aren=E2=80=99t yet suffering as badly: to level up, in other= words, =0Anot down.=0A=0A=0A=0AHere we come to the most important issue fa= cing American higher =0Aeducation. Public institutions enroll about three-q= uarters of the =0Anation=E2=80=99s college students, and public institution= s are everywhere under =0Afinancial attack. As Nancy Folbre explains in Sav= ing State U (2010), a short, sharp, lucid account, spending on higher educa= tion has =0Abeen falling as a percentage of state budgets for more than twe= nty =0Ayears, to about two-thirds of what it was in 1980. The average six-y= ear =0Agraduation rate at state schools is now a dismal 60 percent, a funct= ion =0Aof class size and availability, faculty accessibility, the use of = =0Acontingent instructors and other budget-related issues. Private =0Aunive= rsities actually lobby against public funding for state schools, =0Awhich t= hey see as competitors. In any case, a large portion of state =0Ascholarshi= p aid goes to students at private colleges (in some cases, =0Amore than hal= f)=E2=80=94a kind of voucher system for higher education.=0A=0AMeanwhile, p= ublic universities have been shifting their financial aid criteria from nee= d to merit to attract applicants with higher scores =0A(good old U.S. News = again), who tend to come from wealthier =0Afamilies. Per-family costs at st= ate schools have soared in recent years, from 18 percent of income for thos= e in the middle of the income =0Adistribution in 1999 to 25 percent in 2007= . Estimates are that over the =0Apast decade, between 1.4 million and 2.4 m= illion students have been =0Aprevented from going to college for financial = reasons=E2=80=94about 50 percent =0Amore than during the 1990s. And of cour= se, in the present climate of =0Auniversal fiscal crisis, it is all about t= o get a lot worse.=0A=0A* * *=0A=0AMy state of Oregon, a chronic economic u= nderperformer, has difficulty =0Aattracting investment, not because its cor= porate taxes are high=E2=80=94they=E2=80=99re =0Aamong the lowest=E2=80=94b= ut because its workforce is poorly educated. So it =0Awill be for the natio= n as a whole. Our college-completion rate has =0Afallen from second to eigh= th. And we are not just defunding instruction; we are defunding research, t= he creation of knowledge itself.=0A=0A* * *=0A=0AYet the liberal arts, as w= e know, are dying. All the political and =0Aparental pressure is pushing in= the other direction, toward the =0A=E2=80=9Cpractical,=E2=80=9D narrowly c= onceived: the instrumental, the utilitarian, the =0Aimmediately negotiable.= Colleges and universities are moving away from =0Athe liberal arts toward = professional, technical and vocational training. Last year, the State Unive= rsity of New York at Albany announced plans =0Ato close its departments of = French, Italian, Russian, classics and =0Atheater=E2=80=94a wholesale slaug= hter of the humanities. When Garland enumerates the fields a state legislat= ure might want to encourage its young people to enter, he lists =E2=80=9Cen= gineering, agriculture, nursing, math and science education, or any other a= rea of state importance.=E2=80=9D Apparently political science, philosophy,= history and anthropology, among others, are not =0Aareas of state importan= ce. Zemsky wants to consider reducing college to =0Athree years=E2=80=94mea= ning less time for young people to figure out what to =0Astudy, to take cou= rses in a wide range of disciplines, to explore, to =0Amature, to think.=0A= =0AWhen politicians, from Barack Obama all the way down, talk about higher = =0Aeducation, they talk almost exclusively about math and science. Indeed, = =0Atechnology creates the future. But it is not enough to create the =0Afut= ure. We also need to organize it, as the social sciences enable us to do. W= e need to make sense of it, as the humanities enable us to do. A =0Asystem = of higher education that ignores the liberal arts, as Jonathan =0ACole poin= ts out in The Great American University (2009), is =0Awhat they have in Chi= na, where they don=E2=80=99t want people to think about =0Aother ways to ar= range society or other meanings than the authorized =0Aones. A scientific e= ducation creates technologists. A liberal arts =0Aeducation creates citizen= s: people who can think broadly and critically =0Aabout themselves and the = world.=0A=0ABut leadership will have to come from somewhere else, as well. = Just as =0Ain society as a whole, the academic upper middle class needs to = rethink =0Aits alliances. Its dignity will not survive forever if it doesn= =E2=80=99t fight =0Afor that of everyone below it in the academic hierarchy= .

And so is Keston.=94 * *=96 Peter Manson* * * *=93Keston Sutherland is the non-presiding enemy of the murd=92ring world= =94* * =96 Adam Piette* * * About Keston Sutherland: Keston Sutherland is one of the few best poets. He has now qualified as a Reader at the University of Sussex. He is the editor of avant-garde journal *Quid* and, with Andrea Brady, the astonishing Barque Press ( www.barquepress.com). *Sutherland=92s poetry collections include **The Stat= s on Infinity**, **Stress Position, Hot White Andy, Neocosis, Neutrality**, *= *The Rictus Flag**,** **and **Antifreeze**. His work has been translated into French, German, and Chinese. Scholars continue to work on the English. He gets invited all over the world to read poems, which is nice. *Sutherland= =92s forthcoming critical work is *Stupefaction: A Radical Anatomy of Phantoms *(Seagull/University of Chicago). =93From Shakespeare to Beckett, the contradictory figure of the fool who possesses unexpected wisdom has been a popular and effective literary trope and rhetorical figure for centuries. Philosophy needs idiots too, argues Keston Sutherland in Stupefaction. This is a book about how idiots are created, how they are used, and the types of truth that depend on them. Sutherland examines how speculative and satirical descriptions of stupidity function in art and in argument. His examples include Alexande= r Pope=92s dunce, Adorno=92s philistine, Wordsworth=92s mechanical adopter of= poetic diction, and phenomenologist Michel Henry=92s drunkard who rides an escalat= or to nothingness. Sutherland also provides an important new account of the figure of the bourgeois in Marx and a powerfully original interpretation of commodity fetishism as a satire against bourgeois objectivity. This unusual analysis of the trope of the idiot will appeal to scholars of literature an= d philosophy alike.=94 Some of the highlights of his critical writings include: - "this / is not a metaphor": the possibility of social realism in British poetry'.

In an aisling, Ireland appears to the poet in a vision or dream in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes aged and haggard. This figure is referred to in the poems as a sp=E9irbhean. She laments the state of the Irish people and predicts an imminent renewal of their fortunes, frequently linked to the return of a Stuart pretender to the English throne. The first and greatest of the aisling poets was Aodhag=E1n =D3 Rathaille - athair na haislinge (father of the aisling). In his hands, the aisling was a powerful mode of political writing. On Tuesday 24 May 2011, at 8:00 p.m., IMRAM with the Dublin Writers' Festival will stage a major reading in which leading Irish language poets Paddy Bushe, Gear=F3id Mac Lochlainn and Dairena N=ED Chinn=E9ide perform newly composed poems in the aisling form addressing the current state of Ireland. These poems will be performed with specially composed live music by acclaimed composer and multi-instrumentalist Se=E1n =D3g McErlane, and on-screen projections by artist Margaret Lonergan. This event is curated by Liam Carson, director of the IMRAM Irish Language Literature Festival.

Aug. 5-Tues. Aug. 9. Among the over 50 performers taking part are poets Cara Benson, Charles Borkhuis, Lee Ann Brown, Bruce Covey, Alan Gilbert, Brenda Iijima, Ish Klein, Mark Lamoureux, Tanya Larkin, Douglas Piccininni, Kimberly Ann Southwick, Mary Austin Speaker, and Jill Stengel. Ten days before the event, we'll be putting out the festival issue of Boog City. This issue will feature pieces on some of the performers and a full schedule, illustrated with images of each of the performers. Advertising in the festival issue of Boog City means you will reach more than 3,000 readers, poetry lovers, and small press aficionados throughout the East Village, other targeted areas of lower Manhattan; Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn; as well as bonus distribution at Boog City events. That's an increase of 33.3% over our regular issues for no additional cost. And, since this issue is also a program for the festival, readers will give it a closer read as they check to see who's up later on that day and throughout the festival. Boog City continues to offer our special Small Press Ad Rates. That means when you advertise with us you will save 50% off of our regular display ad rates. * Full Page $250 * Half-Page $130 * Quarter-Page $70 * Eighth-Page $40 Here is a link to our full rate card: http://boogcity.com/ad-rates.pdf As I mentioned in previous emails to you, Boog City focuses on getting the word out about lesser-known artists, be they poets, prose writers, musicians, painters, photographers, or cartoonists. Each month we publish poetry from the likes of Anselm Berrigan, Renee Gladman, Lisa Jarnot, Eileen Myles, Kristin Prevallet, and Edwin Torres, alongside our Urban Folk music section, small press book reviews, political commentary, art, comics, and photographs. We look forward to working with you to bring your message to the local arts community to increase awareness and sales of your publications in the New York area. as ever, David -- David A.

So I thought towards the two-lin= e stanza as experiments in duration, in complex syntactic and melodic demands. The melody of the first line necessitates the melody of the next. Shape shaping shape. Formally, the poem engages with one constraint: each line wants to be semantically intact=97ideally, any line could stand alone,= be my Last Words, my epitaph. Yet it also must link syntactically or narratively with the line that follows. And each stanza must stand in like relation with the stanzas before and after. This requirement extends to line structure something that I=92ve worked with for years (usually furtively): hypersyntax, where phrases link with what comes before or after= , or plausibly stand alone. Uncertainties tries to use these strategies in 'mental strife,' to solicit the dissolving of certainties=97in between the inbreath and the outbreath, where nothing is fixed, and freedom begins." Poet and fiction writer,* Robert Kelly* was born in 1935 in Brooklyn, and educated at CCNY and Columbia, where he studied mediaeval literature and linguistics. His first book, *Armed Descent*, was published in 1961; since then he has published over sixty more, most recently the novel *The Book from the Sky*, the long poem *Fire Exit,* and his fifth collection of short stories*, The Logic of the World*.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hey, everyone, I'm tempted to ask publishers, as well as writers, how they go about promoting and marketing their books, what resources they use, if the weight of promotions rests on the writer or the publishers. This is in regard to promotions across the country. I'm having a difficult time getting people to review furniture press books, and I have a feeling I'm not looking in the right places. This doesn't necessarily hinder our sales. But I'd like to see more buzz around my writers' books. I think they deserve more than just the wesbite and SPD. I'm very interesting, even, in hearing from people who have read the books and have had a good response, and who are not necessarily reviewers. Does anyone want to input on this?

This extraordinary wilderness! Here, where so many learned and accomplished lamas have stayed, The gathering-place of dakinis and dharmapalas, Is the place where I stay in solitude. Tseshung, this secluded mountain place Above--a slow, soft rain drizzles down. Flocks of eagles flying--north, south-- Beaked mothers and their young Trying their wings--Rainbows vividly appear. Below me--the curved necks of geese, Glancing, and the Tsechu River flowing on, Sinuous. Behind them, deer dance on the slope Of a mountain whose peak penetrates space. On both sides, meadows blaze with wild flowers; Myriad bees whirls above them. In front, rocks ornament the mountain meadows; A cuckoo's cry fills me with sadness. Up and down the valley, cattle and sheep Owned by the faithful Dot the land. The young girls Watching over them are busy, Making up songs and plays and dances. Today I climbed behind This excellent retreat place, Looking down on such charming scenes From the mountain's summit. I raised my head, looking up, And saw the cloudless sky. I thought of absolute space, free from limits, The view of dharmadhatu. I then experienced a freedom Without center, without end-- All biased views Completely abandoned. I lowered my head to look in front of me, And saw the sun of this world. I thought of meditation-- Luminous and unobscured. I then experienced a nondual empty clarity. All meditations that focus the mind I completely abandoned. I turned my head, looking south, And saw a pattern of rainbows. I thought of all phenomena-- At once both apparent and empty. I then experienced a natural clarity beyond duality. All nihilist and eternalist viewpoints Completely abandoned. Looking above, looking below, Looking in all directions, I saw the world and the beings in it-- All reliant on space. I thought of fruition that is inherent and naturally present. I experienced a state beyond accepting or rejecting-- Hope of results and fear of failure I completely abandoned.

He told me his experiments took place before an audience--some were taped--but they always resulted in highly emotional responses. Artaud also improvised--and Cid was probably thinking of Artaud when he tried improv. He told me he saw Artaud from a distance in Paris, but never up close.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable http://freepoetryfor.blogspot.com/ [Free Poetry For], formerly, PO25=C2=A2EM is an ongoing series of tiny chap= books (4.25=E2=80=B3 by 5.5=E2=80=B3) that are printed in a limited edition of 10= 0 copies. We started publishing these chapbooks in 2004, and they can be found up and down the east coast of the USA, primarily, but have been spotted as far awa= y as Helsinki, London and Amsterdam. There are currently 85 writers in the series, with a total pressing of 8500 chapbooks. Each chapbook features between 8 and 16 pages of poetry by one author. When the chapbooks are printed, they are disseminated throughout public space (cafes, airports, buses and bus shelters, trains, waiting rooms, etc. etc. etc.) The purpose of the series is to heighten the awareness of poetry by putting it in odd and unusual places and spaces, where poetry isn=E2=80=99t traditi= onally understood to belong. By reclaiming poetry as a non-permanent, non-referential, non-propriety action (rather than an object to be relegated to the classrooms and academia), we give back poetry to the people, regardless of class, race, gender. If you would like to be part of this ongoing series, please send 8-16 pages of poems (and by pages we mean size 4.25=E2=80=B3 by 5.5=E2=80=B3) to freepoetryfor@gmail.com.

She looked very old and close to death and her prayer was so sincere, and so heart-felt that it really moved me. But here's the thing--there were about 20 others in this unheated temple snuffing snot as they do here as it is impolite to blow one's nose. And they were all praying to this ancient statue to be healed. I felt thousands more in this place: the echo of hundreds of thousands more gazing at this golden statue down the generations, daubbing at their noses and praying to feel better with a sincerity born of living in near poverty in a place where the self is not valued, where learning went only to the elite. Those shadows were all there, all making moan to this same statue in this same dimly lit, draughty place--but there was a message in this muttering and this barely audible sound of beads--it was the message of humility and simple heartedness. These people have lived and live without making their belief their pedigree--they wouldn't give speeches about it--they wouldn't wrap it around their shoulders like a superman--or super woman cape--and blast off on stage in front of a hundred cocktail sippers--it's simply, it's merely, it's only-- their life. But sure, Jane Hirshfield and all the other "enlightened ones" you want to list.

As Blades himself wrote of that original edition: The two suites of casemate poems were written during two one-week artist-in-residence stints in 2003 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. These were public, interactive, residencies with visitors passing though the casemate workspace with two concurrent artists-in-residence scheduled for any given week. During his residency, Blades had a typewriter set up on a table facing the open doorway of the casemate. It was always primed with a sheet of paper. In the tradition of writers in storefronts, as Blades finished composing each poem, it was attached to the casemate wall. Blades also took photographs inside and from within the casemate looking outward: images of the casemate itself, of his art in progress, photographs of the weaving looms, of the potter and pottery turned. In this volume, Blades poems and photographs are combined to produce a work that reflects the immediacy of their composition while enabling the reader to experience Blades' writing at their own pace. From: Pesme iz kazamata (Beograd: Rad, 2005) To read Canadian poet and artist Joe Blades book of poetry casemate poems means to get knowledge about one very specific way of understanding poetry today. [] Blades poetry is written by activating different layers of human knowledge and by articulation of this knowledge, for example, in narrations of history and geography. He moves in time (historical perspective) and in space (for example, actual events in the world at the time, such as the attack on the World Trade Center, or pointing to the contemporary racist attitudes of specific countercultures. - Dubravka Ðuri (translated from the Serbian by Dubravka Ðuri.) author bio: Joe Blades has been giving readings, performing and publishing his poetry since 1980.

Live in a country where everyone you meet is or was a Buddhist, from the bus driver to the street people to the trembling old man sitting across from you on the train who still wishes to kill you because of WWII., and who is nevertheless a buddhist. It takes some of the wow factor away. Every poem they would write would be a buddhist poem, I guess, and every breath they take is a buddhist breath, and they see life the way a buddhist sees life. Are these people enlightened? I sit down to dinner with them, and they're average people trying to live their lives and pay their bills. Most "buddhist poems" I've read from American buddhists have a tiny drum beating inside of them saying 1) look at me, look at me, look at me and 2) I'm a buddhist writing buddhist poems therefore 1) look at me, look at me, look at me. I'm "different" I'm "better" I'm "not one of them"--which is all essentially--and paradoxically--not asian. What wisdom they spout is borrowed from the hard-won insights of the real geniuses of Asian culture. They go on giving foot-notes or using terminology they picked up somewhere to convince the innocent reader that somehow they know something that everybody else doesn't. That somehow their lives are perhaps more intense, more beautiful, more "correct" more forgiving, more (name your spiritual flavor of the day)--and it's all because of that special look-at-me thing, and not because of any talent, or lack of, that they might have in their native language--which is what poetry is really all about. It's a way of getting ahead of the game in America. Of asserting yourself, grabbing what's rightfully yours, and playing others for whatever it is po-biz can give you. It's a way you can build a career. Jared, if you'd come over here, you'd see just how Amerikan most "buddhist poetry" is. There's a kind of comparable excitement among the Japanese when someone declares him or her self a christian. There's a sense of mystery and romance and all of that stuff, dating back to the days of the Nagasaki martyrs and the Shimabara riots and the Dutch on dejima, etc. etc. My students do it sometimes and it's a "look at me" moment, which would soon fade away if they visited a town full of Sarah Palin supporters in Iowa. Unenlightened, Jess of Japan. (Now 20 years here.)
