Like a lot of readers, Jarry's Ubu plays simultaneously attracted me through their Punch and Judy echoes and opened me to the possibilities of puppetry as theater. I don't claim to know anything about puppet theater, but I'm always excited to get the chance to see people work with the genre and would like to write something for puppets one day.

The relationship between the intensity of light and color in Norway transformed my life as an artist forever. As color began to fill my work, I found myself becoming a painter as well. Upon returning to Philadelphia, expecting to teach in the school system and finding the power of these changes continued, I needed to return for my creative well-being. I was fortunate enough to enroll in the Royal Norwegian School of Arts and Crafts with a Stipend as a Printmaking Assistant. I also studied Norwegian at the University of Oslo. *www.gesshel.com *Amy Greenan* * is an artist, designer, art collector, and life enthusiast working and living in Niagara Falls, NY.

Hugh What Returning to poetry after many years, Hugh, aged 51, finds it to be a relaxing and exacting sport of catch and tell all. A mirror image of his earlier career as a poet is expected to commence, left will be right, old will be new, poor will be rich, and inside will be out.

In the audience at the QE2 were two stand-up young men named Rod =20 Sperry and David Kirschenbaum. They liked my poetry a lot, they said. =20= They were starting a press=97what would become Boog Literature=97and = they =20 wanted to publish a chapbook of my work. I wanted to date Rod, and so =20= I said yes. That=92s not why I said yes, but the synergy of the xeroxing = =20 of stapled chapbook days certainly helped to fuel a crush, and David =20 and Rod have remained stalwart friends and supporters for the last 20-=20= plus years. My chapbook was titled A Canopy Sack of Details. I write =20 mainly nonfiction narratives now. I'd love to believe that not-so-=20 buried in each of these are bits of poetry emerging; it=92s a calling =20= that seems to transform and reemerge at the most unexpected times and =20= for the strangest reasons. **Sean Cole http://www.shampoopoetry.com/shampoothirtyeight/cole.htm Sean Cole is a public radio reporter and poet living in New York, =20 hailing from Boston, and formerly of Toronto.

In a letter dated 4 January 1968, Bishop writes that she "found a rather nice 'flat' (as they call the two-floor, old house -- this is the top floor)." In the following paragraph, she notes that it "has our bedrooms, 2 fireplaces, even a backyard -- ..." (p 487) A quick Google Maps search reveals a pale lapis painted house with the addresses 1557, 1559, and 1561.Good luck with the photography project.

We’ll be there from 7pm to 11-ish, Central Daylight Time (-5GMT). The Lafayette program, which Jessica Bordelon, Rhonda Robison, Lana Wiggins and I are designing, will bring traditional poets including Laura Mullen, Marthe Reed and former Louisiana Poet Laureate Darrell Bourque together with the spoken word troupe Revolution Theory, creating a multi-generational event bringing in Lafayette's diverse literary subcultures. Meanwhile, the University of Lafayette-Louisiana poetry group will be doing a series of open-space musical and literary skits, and we'll have local organizations in the atrium, discussing what they're doing for change in Louisiana. During our intermission, we'll be pumping in the webstream from other 100 Thousand Poets for Change events. (So if you're webcasting a 100 Thousand Poets for Change event, and will be running at that time, drop me a line -- I'm interested!) $6 at the theatre door, all of which will go to non-profit organizations (the Acadiana Center for the Arts and others). Cash bar. Sponsors are Acting Up (in Acadiana), BBR Creative, The Break Room Coffee Shop, The Festival of Words, and Unlikely Books.

And us... what good are we if we don't help as much as we can in that destruction? - Julio Cortazar Geoffrey Gatza, fearless director of BlazeVox, that "publisher of weird little books," took the final proofs of Lurid Numbers to his printer on July 27, 2011. Lurid Numbers is a collection of more or less "codeworked" text - much like _i did the weird motor drive_, my 2007 book with BlazeVox - written through simple computer scripts and word processings, and through my own impulse, inquiry, and idiocy. The next day he came back with some odd news in the form of an email from the publisher: ------ Forwarded Message From: Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:02:16 -0700 (PDT) To: Geoffrey Gatza Subject: Files for Lurid Numbers, 978-1609640705 require your attention The interior and cover files for Lurid Numbers, 978-1609640705 have been reviewed.The cover file meets our submission requirements; it is not necessary for you to make any revisions to this file or upload it again.The interior file does not meet our submission requirements for the reason(s) listed below. Please make any necessary adjustments to your interior file and upload it again by logging in to createspace.com.The interior file contains pages with unreadable text or "jibberish" which we are unable to move forward with as it may appear as a file error in manufacturing. Please submit a revised interior file for further review. Best regards, The CreateSpace Team As we like to say in academia, the email was "interesting," that is, it could be read as linked to a number of other cultural domains and protocols. The relation of the "interior" to the "cover" repeats and takes part in the history of the "book," where the cover is the limit of the work of writing; the cover is the enclosure or partition, the event and inscription of multiple institutions: of authorship (if the work is under a pseudonym or in some way unsigned, the copyright page still must contain an author's name, even if it is "anonymous"), commerce (the name of the publisher, legal descriptions of rights and regulations, and so on), and archiving (library of congress number, date of publication, etc.). Along with this, the fact that the interior of the book was somehow rotten or broken seemed both a judgment and a simple fact of this book. It was even better that this was expressed iconographically in the cover, which did meet "submission requirements." I saw the cover as a submission of the contents to a single image. The cover shows a butchered and already old, slightly rotted fish. The image is photoshopped, neon and definitely lurid. Geoffrey directed me to this image, and I loved the combination of the repulsive and slimy, the mundane and organic, with the software transformation that keeps it real but artificial as well. It did indeed seem to submit and capture the interior. And then: "the interior file contains pages with unreadable text" seems to me an almost ontological statement, one that rubs against the proximity between the written work and the human. We may submit, we may submit a cover - ourselves - that meets requirements (of culture, of others), but our interiors are often quite different, unreadable. I also appreciated the misspelling of gibberish, suggesting a virality of the unreadable text into the printer's email. Finally: "we are unable to move forward [...] as it may appear as a file error in manufacturing" suggested to me an event or force of the work beyond the interior file, a hidden explosion breaking the apparatus that machined it, and seeping or flooding past the cover. In short, I was pleased to become more than just another job for the printer, to become a new process and something beyond the routine. At the same time, I was concerned, wondering what would happen with my interior file, as it were. I found out five days later, on August 1, 2011, when Geoffrey informed me in an email that "they cannot print this book and there is nothing I can do about it. [...] this is something completely new and I have to say I am perplexed by the mechanizations of modern times. The printers are not opposed to you or your work, this is a situation of a printing process that is highly automated and this registers exactly like a printers error to their machine. It is not a human that we must cajole into agreeing that this is art, which was my first take on this, as with the printer who cannot spell. This is a matter of a quality control camera that will reject books that look like this. I talked with a lot of people in the company and even had my lawyer call them to see if great weight would move the immovable. But no, their system will literally stop when it would try to produce your work." A writing that stops the computer system, the very system designed to print out writing: what more could I ask for? What more frustrating thing, as well, so close to the print out of the book, that fetish object that makes authors out of writers? I was judged by the computer to have written something, i.e. it did not deny that there was an input that it could judge, but it evaluated my writing as unprintable, as a writing that can only remain in the space of the computer, within the possibilities of software. My interior file was bummed out but also filled or luridly lit up with a deep pleasure. "The act of writing is related to the absence of the work, but is invested in the Work as book. The madness of writing - this insane game - is the relation of writing; a relation established not between the writing and production of the book but through the books production, between the act of writing and the absence of the work.[...] To write is to produce the absence of the work (worklessness, unworking, [désoeuvrement]). Or again: writing is the absence of the work as it produces itself through the work, traversing it throughout. Writing as unworking (in the active sense of the word) is the insane game, the indeterminacy that lies between reason and unreason." - Maurice Blanchot BTW, the book is here: http://www.blazevox.org/index.php/Shop/Poetry/lurid-numbers-by-sandy-baldwin-244/ ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

After seeing your message on another listserv yesterday, I purchased the pdf from BlazeVox. I'm not far enough into it to review it in a respectable fashion. But I can say this: The discussion about printability, culture, etc. that precedes the texts is worth the price of admission in itself. The issue here is a very important one, not just for BlazeVox authors present and future, but for all of us. (Full disclosure, I edited Millie Niss's City Bird for BlazeVox.) The camera-rejects are humorous, biting, eminently readable, and it is a worry that the book could not be printed in a traditional manner. It's a worry as a practical matter, and it also is an economic worry, both for you and Geoffrey. One question I had: If each page were a .jpg, would the problem have arisen? OTOH, perhaps the printer only considers .pdf files. I hope you sell dozens and dozens of copies. It won't help with the finances, but this is important, innovative work, and it deserves to be seen by many people. The whole episode made me punchy. I posted a Sporkworld note about it yesterday with a link to the BlazeVox shop.

Following this, = Alan Sondheim and I engaged in a brief email exchange on the topic. It is = copied below in full.] The Unprintable (August 8-16, 2011) Alan Sondheim: "A lur is a long natural blowing horn [...] The word lur is still very much alive in the Swedish language, indicating any funnel-shaped implement used for producing or receiving sound. [...]" (Wikipedia). So blowing might be a kind of scattering or a calling, might be a kind of signal. And I think of _Lurid Numbers_ as a kind of calling, calling-forth both readerly and writerly textuality, but also an interpenetrating and entangled intermediary, the catatonic machine which might or might not open itself to the distending of symbols, graphemes. The machine reads itself; it doesn't like to be bothered. It doesn't like to read _Lurid Numbers_, because what is lurid, sleazy, is a bone in the works, can't be read. And apparently the publishing machine of Blaze-Vox, Blaze-Lur, couldn't read, broke down over, returned to catatonia (for what bureaucracy likes to be bothered), over what should have been a simple reproduction from code to paper - which did not, could not, occur? What do you say to this, to the insertion, beyond the readerly and writerly text, of the text which breaks the machine, which refuses purity? Sandy Baldwin: Yes, I agree. You provoke me to think and respond. I see the lur as producing a signal, one that problematizes signaling behaviors. I see this in the phrase "very much alive in the Swedish language": the word as "alive" is the problematization of signaling behaviors, where such behaviors as part of our modern understanding of communications that necessarily contain / are contained by systematization and closure. For modernity, to signal is to invoke an institutional culture that handles the call. (The lur problematizes any final response to your provocation as well, and instead leads me to a more "funnel-shaped" answer.) The blowing lur, the funnel-shaped implement (I read it as impediment, which already is the bone in the throat, the marrow in the grapheme), is a problematic signal. Lur also makes me hear a broken lure. Lure is a decoy, but also allurement and enticement. The lure is camouflaged and does not yet reveal the spoilage of the lurid. The breakage from lure to lur is the object escaping, the rotting out of the object. The kernel of matter that presupposes a machine - there is a machine threshing every "grain" of the real; the machine that makes everything itself, that ensures all is systematic and well-formed (machined) - is lost, leaving only an echo. In all this, the orphic song, the stirring of animal spirits, the original poem, the return from the dead. It is here that the where the machinic is not machinic. You lead me to think that _Lurid Numbers_ can't be read or printed because the writing did not occur - which would require the iterability of closed world of the machine - it is not authored. I admit to be radically uncertain of the "author-function" of this text with my name on it. I recall that I did not intend for it to be unprintable or unreadable, at least not in any straightforward sense, though I do think I intended it to be undigestable. It remains in a lurid- or sleaze-world, so thin, flimsy, barely lit. I wonder, in terms of the end of your provocation, is such a text still a text? I think of text as requiring reading and writing as advanced, modern processes; machinic processes, I suppose. I do not know if I can claim this for myself - not to have written a text - but I do wonder how far "text" can bear a lack of purity. I think more in terms such as "wryting" (which you coined), which suggests to me a kind of intensive, non-textual investment ... Alan: Wryting is of and in the midst of the body; _Lurid Numbers_ skitters across the body, but drags, scrapes the escarpment of the body as well. "Text" is like "nice" - it can bear anything, it is not that smooth, but the family of usages containing it are smoothed out - in the case of Lurid Numbers, perhaps dilapidated as well. I'd think of you as an author for the simple reason - the text wouldn't otherwise exist. This might be the result of a crisis. To paraphrase L. Apostel, *The Justification of Set Theories* (in _Logic, Methodology, and the Philosophy of Science_, 1965), substituting texts for classes (the original is based on the comprehension axiom), "At the beginning of a textual procedure, when nothing whatever is known about sources or filters, complete freedom is given as to the construction of texts (1). When the textual procedure is already established, and when the results of earlier operations are stable, the construction proceeds without rearrangement: texts now are embedded in a formal and canonic history, which is taken for granted and is machine-decomposable; the roots are there, in a very classical sense (2). However, when a crisis is reached and the procedures hitherto followed must be altered, textuality returns to the original sources, accompanied by new procedures and filters (3). When the procedures operate without crisis, but when it is imperative that procedures at one level should be strongly distinguished from and yet completely determined by the procedures applied on the earlier level, we have (4)." Let's think of (4) as conservation, and the third as permanent crisis, under the signs of capital and the fast-forward simulacra of signs. Then we're in the skitters and jitters, aren't we? Sufficient crisis, and the market breaks down, the machine breaks down, your self-identification as author breaks down. And that's when things get interesting, when the machine reaches a state of indigestion. What causes the crisis? On one hand the formal condition that upper and lower ASCII don't exhaust the pixel-by-pixel gridwork of inscriptions; there's always the glitsch, the fury beyond acceptable bandwidth. Most of our lives - in fact the phenomenology of our being-in-the-world - is conditioned by filtering-out, not only so the clean and proper body of the signifier may make itself felt against our skin, but also because anything else creates an ontological shift where the matrix of communication, community, disappears altogether. The crisis is of course the implosion. It's that. It's those. It's when "a" replaces "the" down to the rootlessness. Lurid Numbers unroots numbers, signs, and symbols, replacing "a" itself with an unknowable little-object-a beyond the spectrum, smothering the spectrum. It rests, remains, sleeps there. So you do a pdf! Sandy: Yes, I agree. It would be possible - maybe? I think? - to map the text as crossing thresholds or crisis points. Can we think of all texts in relation to their procedure and whether or not there is a crisis, an alteration? The quote from Apostel also situates crisis in a relation to origins, or pathology of the text, keeping in mind that these are inscriptive origins and symptoms, origins in the topography of transcriptions. I was speaking to the poet and critic Chris Funkhouser about the problem of printing _Lurid Numbers_. He brought up the possibility of an unpublishable book. He saw this as the future of increasing information interlinking, where all possible sentences are linked into the net already; all possible texts already generated in some way; no "new" text possible without being plagiarism from the first. This is, of course, a version of Borges' "Library of Babel," and also the nightmare aspect of Ted Nelson's Xanadu, where the density of hypertextual transclusion shuts down any new utterance. In practice, it is already being implemented with plagiarism detection systems such as Turnitin (my university purchased this software and wants it to be used on student papers). I found myself agreeing with Chris that this is a potential both for contemporary forms of writing, flarf being the example he used, and for the inseparability of the practice of writing from the apparatus of word processing software, in the largest sense. However, Lurid Numbers is unprintable rather than unpublishable. We could say that these are two forms of crisis. Unpublishability is a problem with the institution of authorship, and the confusion between economies of creativity and capital. Unprintability is a problem with the technical production of scriptive materialities, and a confusion between the conceptual potential of digital simulations and the institution that anchors these to a machinery of materialization, or more precisely, to a machine of printing out and handling. The confusion is already there in the simulation: MS Word and other software continue to simulate a page, while at the same time offering something else entirely. Lurid Numbers does have its own unpublishable pretexts, and unpublishability does relate to a materialization of the text - it is reasonable to see the legal institution of authorship in this way - but, whereas publishing involves a materiality of expression - creative expression capitalized through the author's name - we could see the unprintability as a materiality of phenomena and the body. Is this the crisis and implosion (or explosion)? Of the book as object, as in my hand and before me, as technical product ... The crisis of unprintability is worth studying on its own, and in relation to other crisis taking place in institutions of the book. Finally, thinking of what you say of the cause of the crisis: you set the glit(s)ch as the "fury beyond acceptable bandwidth." Perhaps "fury" is the correlate of crisis? A passion, a vehemence, beyond any law - and therefore in relation to the laws and institution of print and authorship - a fury that seeks the work, and - why not - seeks justice for the writer. Why justice? If unpublishability and unprintability involve the writer as name and capital (the writer's head), then the fury of writing unpublishes and unwrites, leaving nothing but the body and the roiling of its interior. The work, the writing, the scriptive orgins - all these come from and go to this fury. Alan: Just a couple of points here. No matter how much interlinking occurs, statistically, fantasy notwithstanding, all possible sentences etc. really constitute such an inaccessibly high number, that all the processing power of the universe would never complete the task, even given the 13+ billion years we've been around, even given incredibly high-speed processing. As you know, n-furcations quickly spin out of control. The second point relates to pain, and the inexpressibility of severe pain, and I want to end my contribution here, in relation to what might be foregone, the _McGill Pain Questionnaire_ notwithstanding. So a few brief words left behind in lieu of an other text. Inexpressibility occurs because of the difficulty of expressing interior states that might not have a clearcut symptomology (as thirst does, for example) - and also because severe pain derails speech and language and thought, as the internalized horizon of the flesh is muted or screams in abeyance. All of this touches on the pain of the signifier and its inexpressible relation to death - and all of this touches, as well, on the unprintable. The unprintable then is returned, as if by media mail, to the body that produced it. And from this moment, your text, as pdf, opens up and opens, as pain disperses, is dispersed, as the symbolic ultimately collapses, as is its wont... =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.

Highlights of the 220 items on list #12 (with some items already sold out; issued July 18, 2011) include issues of 3¢ Pulp, and works by John Barlow, John M. Bennett, Stan Bevington, Katy Chan, Bob Cobbing, Victor Coleman, Judith Copithorne, Arthur Cravan, jwcurry (including 1¢ newsnotes), Anne Dondertman, Nicky Drumbolis, Daniel f. Bradley, Michael Duquette, K.S. Ernst, a selection of publications and ephemera from the EyeRhymes Conference and Festival (University of Alberta, June 1997), Four Horsemen, D.M. Fraser, Gerry Gilbert, Glenn Goluska, Alan Halsey, Wharton Hood, Mark Laba, D.A. Levy, John Ligoure, R.D. MacPherson, Diane Martin, Steve McCaffery, Janet F. Murchison, Lowell Naeve, Hermann Neutics, bpNichol, R. Murray Schafer, Darrell Schiller, Peter Schuyff, Gio Shanger, John Graves Simcoe, Steven Smith, Raymond Souster, David UU, Alberto Vitacchio and Frank Zappa. Sample listing: 114. MCCAFFERY (Steve) Prior To Meaning. Buffalo, Friends Of The University Libraries, for 25 december 1996. of an edition totalling 2000, 1/195 trade copies issued as Christmas Broadside series 3 #8. 5 ½ x 8 ½ leaflet; 4 pp printed offset. McCaffery's rather lyrical poem faced w/ fullcolour reproduction of Michael Snow's 1962 weathered paper collage, Alice. 7.50 Write, call or simply show up at jwcurry's door for a copy of the list. Other lists are most likely still available. from the inside cover: list 12, published occasionally, fixates on a sampling of materials issued to correspond with specific events. there are: exhibition announcements/invitations, catalogues & reviews; holiday mailouts; special issues of magazines; anniversary anthologies; travel gifts; party invitations & handouts; events posters & souvenirs; reminders; memorials; address change notices; publication announcements; programmes; propaganda; parodies; & a handful of unclassifiables. the list could easily have been 5 times its size but, in propitiation for the overt hostility suffusing list 11, i've kept opportunities for bile to a minimum & am mostly enthusiastic about the offerings included herein (irked ire obvious as usual). of particular note here are the christmas cards (& related material, entries 125 161) issued by bpNichol &, after his death, Eleanor Nichol. from what i've been able to determine, this is the largest selection ever offered for public sale of these elusive private publications & few if any of the variant issues have been previously described. ROOM 302 BOOKS is probably open whenever you want it to be; just give a call to be sure i'm in & up (613 233 0417) & come to either door of 880 Somerset Street West, Ottawa (K1R 6R7 for the postally-inclined). orders by post are subjected to no postal penalties if paid in advance; please make cheques or money orders payable to jwcurry. returns are a bad idea: don't order it if you don't want it. http://robmclennan.blogspot.com/2011/08/jwcurrys-room-302-books-has-new.html -- writer/editor/publisher ...ottawater, above/ground press & Chaudiere Books (www.chaudierebooks.com) ...coord., SPAN-O + ottawa small press fair ...poetry - Glengarry (Talonbooks) ...2nd novel - missing persons www.abovegroundpress.blogspot.com * http://robmclennan.blogspot.com/ ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

WAVEFORM documents an aqueous, stop-start conversation between two women poets with disabilities. The idea of suspension--being held back, held over, or held by larger bodies, especially water--serves as pivot point for a manuscript that begins with the problem of rising from bed in the morning, of gravity and the ankle, of making muscles that control speech contract and release. Quotidian rituals like listing provide structure while large marine creatures open this epistolary work to a kind of chronic floating. Denise Leto is a poet, writer, and Senior Editor at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work is forthcoming in Beauty is a Verb, Cinco Puntos Press, Fall 2011 and Puerto del Sol, Fall 2011 and has appeared in Wild Horses of Fire: Other Letters, The Wolf Magazine: Arts Council of England, Aufgabe, 26, and Xantippe. She was a Fellow for the University of Michigan’s Research/Practice Symposium on Movement, Somatics & Writing and is a past Honorary Fellow and Artist in Residence at Djerassi Resident Artist Program. She recently presented her work at the multi-media art event, “Breaking Ranks: Human/Nature,” at the Headlands Center for the Arts. Amber DiPietra works as an advocate and peer counselor in the Bay Area disability community. She has recently started Write To Connect—life writing workshops for radical and everyday embodiments. Her interests include tracking the orthopedic body in real time, personal fossil records, ¡accion mutante! politics, and warm waters. Poems and prose pieces by Amber have appeared in Make, A Chicago Literary Magazine, Mirage Period[ica], Tarpaulin Sky, Mrs. Maybe, Monday Night and TRY!. Amber also co-curates the :working class reading series with Michelle Puckett in Oakland, CA. Visit Amber’s blog at www.adipietra.blogspot.com Paperback. Poetry/Creative Nonfiction/Disability Studies/Poetics. 36 pp. ISBN: 978-0-9767364-9-3. $10.00. Publication date: September 15, 2011. Waveform is available by credit card or subscription/mailorder at http://www.kenningeditions as well as through Small Press Distribution: http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9780976736493/waveform.aspx Thank you for passing this announcement along to interested friends.

An anthology of the best poems out there by trans and genderqueer writers and we would love to include your work in the book. Our assumption is that the writing of trans and genderqueer folks has something more than coincidence in common with th= e experimental, the radical, and the innovative in poetry and poetics (as we idiosyncratically define these categories), and with your help we=92d like = to manifest that something (or somethings) in *a genderqueer multipoetics, a critical mass of trans fabulousness*. This anthology is edited by TC Tolbert and Tim Peterson (Trace)=97both trans-identified poets. It will be published by EOAGH Books in early 2012, and you can bet it will be widely distributed! *Deadline for Submissions:* Nov 30, 2011 *What to Submit:* 7-10 pages of poetry, and a prose =93poetics=94 statement= (see below) *Where to Submit:* email us at transanthology@gmail.com *Why is this anthology important:* While trans and genderqueer poets have existed for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, there has never been a collection of poetry exclusively by trans and genderqueer writers that also highlights a diverse range of poetics and other marginalized identities. E= ach particular understanding of self and gender creates an essentially complex and rich multipoetics that undermines any sort of universal trans aesthetic= . Inherently multi-vocal and anti-hegemonic, a singular trans experience simply does not exist and, frankly, we don=92t want it to. For this reason= , an anthology is the most conducive venue for undoing any attempted whitewashing and/or homogenizing of an imagined trans voice. As we said, w= e want your words. The words, syntax, perspective, lyric, narrative, image (or the disruption of any of these) that could actually only come from you. *What kind of writing are we looking for:* This anthology seeks *writing that makes us wet our panties a little bit and wonder what the f* have we been doing with our lives all this time*. While this project exists in a historical context of several important anthologies that gather marginalize= d and under-represented writers (*This Bridge Called My Back, **No More Masks= , The Open Boat, The World in Us*, etc), this will be the first anthology to foreground the poetic writings of trans and genderqueer authors. The book will feature 7-10 pages of work from approximately 35 poets and we hope you will be one of them! *A meta-layer of fabulous:* One thing that makes this anthology unique is that it will include *a statement on poetics by each participant*, along with your poems. This is a chance for you to tell us something about your writing process, writing practice, theory of life, or whatever you like. It might include the relationship of the body and text, *or* the practice of reading and misreading text and the body, *or* locations, connections, and divisions of the self amongst text and the self amongst other bodies *or*..= .you get the point. *About the editors: * * * *TC Tolbert* is a genderqueer, feminist poet and teacher committed to socia= l justice.

I had met Irving a few times at And Then release parties and remembered him= as an elderly gentleman whose politics were definitely but, not surprising= ly, left of center; in other words, an interesting person. However, being s= omeone whose friends know they can safely tell me their darkest secrets bec= ause I won=E2=80=99t remember them, I=E2=80=99m not sure if this is really = the man I remember conversing with. Perhaps =E2=80=9Che=E2=80=9D is a congl= omeration of people =E2=80=93 men and women =E2=80=93=C2=A0 I=E2=80=99ve me= t through And=0A Then, but no matter. I accepted the invitation. The address, as I recall, was midtown on Sixth Avenue. Of course, this coul= d be the location of some other event I=E2=80=99ve gone to, but it will hav= e to do for now. Things get a bit clearer after this. Standing outside what seemed to be more of an office building than an apart= ment house, at first I was confused about how to get in. Luckily a young co= uple came along and, once it was determined that we were going to the same = place, it was smooth sailing, although one doesn=E2=80=99t quite sail in an= elevator. Be that as it may, I got to the party unscathed. In the front hall of the apartment stood an old-fashioned rack with arms li= ke antlers. Although I had been sure not to arrive too early, the rack was = still fairly empty, so that=E2=80=99s where I left my coat and (with only t= he slightest hesitation) my new silk scarf. Not immediately seeing anyone I= knew, and the hostess seemingly busy, I took myself=0A on a tour of the pl= ace, which I recall as basically one large area broken up into a living roo= m and sleep space ingeniously draped in fabric and beads. I never did find = the kitchen, or the bathroom for that matter, although I=E2=80=99m sure the= y were there somewhere.=20 To continue: in the main room was a table displaying Irving Wexler=E2=80=99= s book. I checked my watch.=C2=A0 Irving was obviously running late, as was= everyone else I had expected to see. I went back to the entryway to check = that my coat and scarf were still on the rack; they were. Just then, who sh= ould enter but . . . no, not Irving Wexler: Joanie and Bobby, whom I hadn= =E2=80=99t seen in maybe twenty years, since my off-off Broadway days. Amaz= ingly, we recognized each other right away =E2=80=93 I even remembered thei= r=C2=A0 names!=20 Going back to the book room, which was also where the food and drinks were,= I saw that Robert Roth had arrived. He, of course, knew everyone there, so= I waited until he=0A worked his way over to me. That=E2=80=99s when I foun= d out that Irving wasn=E2=80=99t expected by anyone but me. The party, Robe= rt explained, was in honor of the posthumous publication of Irving=E2=80=99= s book. =E2=80=9CDon=E2=80=99t you remember when he died?=E2=80=9D Robert a= sked rather incredulously. I gave him my best enigmatic smile. But, really, if Irving didn=E2=80=99t w= ant people to think he=E2=80=99s no longer with us, he could rest assured t= hat his secret would be safe with me.

Whether posed, or proposed, or just tenuously poised on the thin line that divides articulation from understanding, the phrases and phrasings of Tom Beckett's elegant and nervous *Parts and Other Pieces* challenge the givens of experience. The excitement and beauty of this four-part book are the product of a mismatch between words and worlds. And it is, indeed, a beautiful and exciting book. Variously witty, angst-ridden, melancholy, sweet, Beckett's parts provoke a powerful whole. =97*Lyn Hejinian* If Tom Beckett cares about anything, it=92s everything. =93Are you with me, Columbus?=94 Why yes, you are, we naturally reply, since Beckett has asked = us a question he already knows the answer to, since he loves and respects the durability of our imaginations, desires, impulses and anxieties. Our answers, in substance and scope, are the very near silent dialogues that Beckett hears in the thought acts generated by poetry: openness taken from the shadows of openness alone. Beckett=92s poetry has always reminded me th= at we are all in the process of our obsessions, where =93What I might be able = to do for you and not myself is to/mirror you,/establish your presence.=94 To= m Beckett is the poet in all our poems, goofing off when we harden in our terrible seriousness, and in the next moment, attentively concerned with ho= w loud we just laughed. =97*Jordan Stempleman* Tom Beckett writes from the lab. His work, in its observational acuity, gives back to us all the stuff we see floating in the peripheries =96 of language, of social order, of identity =96 and places it smack dab under th= e lens. Where it pulls us in, performs for us, makes us marvel at its range, occasionally repels us, often makes us chortle. *Parts and Other Pieces* is alive, emotionally raw, self-effacingly hilarious, and ultimately quite beautiful. Beckett is the master; we=92re damned lucky he=92s got the whit= e coat. =97*Jessica Grim* Tom Beckett's *Parts and Other Pieces** *bristles with a fierce, rhythmic relentlessness. These are poems of urgent self-reflection, caught between the demands of everyday life and a consciousness haunted by spikes of piercing perception. =97*Charles Bernstein* =93As a writer,=94 we read in an interview with Tom Beckett, =93it can be m= ore important to pay a lot of attention to a few things rather than a little attention to a lot of things.=94 Touch=E9!

It will be a special night for both of us. Cindy will have copies of her new chapbook, The Carcinogenic Bride, which she'll be selling for the ridiculously low price of 5 dollars, and which, besides her very interesting poems, also features a collage I designed for the cover. Plus, I'll have copies of a new little collection of my own, & nothing more, which was printed to celebrate the reading, and which will be given free to everyone who attends. The reading starts at 7:00 and runs til 9:30, with sign-up for the open mic beginning at 6:30. There's a $10 minimum at the bar plus a $3.00 requested donation for the event. Since it's a bar you'll have to be 21 to attend. The reading will be hosted by the multi-talented Su Polo, as it has been for over a decade. I hope you all can make it - Bob ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Your personal freedom dies the death of a thousand cuts when you give your information to what is an increasingly Fascistic, corporate, on-line future. And how cheaply thousands of the young and old have done it, do it, and will continue to do so. Alan's been doing it at least since the 1980's, as he's a pioneer at this sort of thing, I believe. Haven't you? It's like an old fashioned monkey trap: a hollowed-out coconut with some rice inside and a hole just big enough for the insertion of one experimental paw. But when the monkey tries to get back to his keyboard and makes a fist to take the rice with him...ah! Big Brother has got him and he thrashes and RAVES! Thanks so much for this birthday message, Alan. I'll share your Awakening with my friends. I have faith in you to keep typing--especially those plays!--You and your co-typists have all the time in the world to write Shakespeare's collected, at least that's what the probabilities seem to indicate, but the reality seems to present a bleaker picture.

Highlighting the diversity of voice, style, practice and politic, seventeen seconds continues the resolve to provide a forum for dialogue on contemporary poetics, with a focus on Canadian writing. Over the past two decades, the amount of critical writing published in print literary journals on Canadian poetry, specifically, seems to have decreased dramatically, but slowly returned through a number of online journals. seventeen seconds simply wishes to help strengthen the dialogue and the ongoing conversation about writing through publishing new writing, and conversation about new writing. How else are we supposed to learn anything, unless we keep talking?
