He is the founding editor of Ploughshares literary magazine. Ploughshares is perhap= s the most influential literary magazine in the country. Henry has a new memoir out "Sweet Dreams" that covers his youth, his time at Harvard, the= formation of Ploughshares, and his coming of age as a writer and a man. I= spoke to him on my Somerville Community Access TV show: "Poet to Poet to Writer to Writer." Doug Holder: You are one of the most educated men I know. You have a PhD from Harvard and an MFA from the Iowa Writer's Workshop. DeWitt Henry: I wanted to avoid the draft ( Laugh). DH: You came from a Philadelphia Main Line family, but your childhood was= far from idyllic. Your dad was an alcoholic, a racist, and he abused your= mom. Some people would retreat into drug abuse, mental illness, etc... in= reaction to all this. Do you think literature was the elixir that saved y= ou? DWH: I was a child when this was going on--so I had an innocent perceptio= n of things. My father was a decent man; he tried to make up for what he di= d. I was the baby of the family; my older siblings experienced the brunt of = it. But really--I don't think anyone has a so-called totally "happy" backgrou= nd. Yes. Literature was a shelter for me. My mother was a writer and artist. During the trauma caused by my father she had her own nervous background.= My mother hooked up with a prominent psychiatrist--and later on she became a= sort of psychiatrist's assistant. She helped my father and in a way protected me. In retrospect I grew up in a protective environment. My sis= ter and mother promoted reading. My sister was very literate and a good write= r. She encouraged me to read stuff over my head. So in eight grade I was reading " Crime and Punishment.' I probably didn't understand it! DH: Your father was a successful candy manufacturer. What did he think of= your desire to be a writer? DWH: He wanted me to be a candy maker. I considered it--we all did at one= point. He himself was second generation. My grandfather started the compa= ny. He sent my father to business school. My father got into chemistry which = was sort of the high tech of today--very in vogue. This was in the 1920's. He= worked for DuPont for a year or two. He got a call when my grandfather ha= d a heart attack to come home and take care of the business. He essentially l= eft a corporate career for the sake of family. DH: You got your PhD at Harvard and you also attended the Iowa Writers Workshop where you studied with Richard Yates, author of "Revolutionary Road" among other novels. Was Yates' background similar to yours? DWH: Well he was born in Yonkers, N.Y. His mother was socially pretentiou= s and ambitious. She appeared in many different guises in his short stories= . He was 14 or 15 years older than me--but we both had the drive to rise in= society. The Main Line Philadelphia society where I grew up was very socially stratified. It was worse than the Boston's Brahmins. It was the kind of a place if you went into a dry cleaner or a Woolworth's, within f= ive seconds they tried to place you . So we had that common background that pushed us to succeed in society. DH : Was there elitism prevalent in the Boston literary scene when you ar= rived? DWH: When I arrived there was a literary stratification between the establishment and the young and unknown writers. The big Boston publishin= g houses, Harvard, were not interested in the newer or younger people. They= did not encourage community. They were just the opposite. It was a Brahmi= n culture. One thing about starting Ploughshares at the Plough and Stars Pub in Cent= ral Square, Cambridge, with the co-owner Peter O'Malley--was that it was Iris= h. Behind it was tradition of the Irish against the Boston Brahmins, against= Harvard, against the established order. DH: Is a pub a good place to birth a magazine? DWH: I'm not sure I would recommend it, but there is the Irish tradition = of the literary pub. It goes way back to William Butler Yeats and the Irish Renaissance. The literary pub has a tradition of readings and publishing broadsheets. The tradition was inherent in the presence of Peter O'Malley= . O'Malley is still around--you will probably find him having a drink at th= e pub to this day. DH: The memoirist Malachy McCourt told me that when you write a memoir yo= u should not get bogged down with facts.Memoir is more about impressions. DWH: The kind of memoir I write is more like fiction--rather than literal= fact. You have to look hard for details for your writing. I tell my stude= nts to look for artifacts around their homes that are unexplained ... kind of= bizarre. In my family we have these bear skin rugs--bear skin rugs--how d= o you figure that? You really have to use your imagination to make things c= ome alive. DH: How important was the founding of Ploughshares in your development as= a writer? DWH: As I say on p. 196 of Sweet Dreams, that the venture of starting "Ploughshares lent me social identify as a writer...I was taken seriously= by writers my age who had themselves managed to publish books and land teach= ing jobs." I needed that because my first novel was such slow going. The magazine also exposed me to contemporary poetry and fiction, and to the emerging writers producing it, like colleagues, and I felt both in my editing and my writing that I was talking back to them in "the cultural conversation." I think of Tim O'Brien, Andre Dubus, Fanny Howe, Thomas Lu= x, James Tate, Jim McPherson, Sue Miller, Frank Bidart, David Gullette, Joyc= e Peseroff, the list goes on. The magazine helped to forge my sense of literary enterprise, combining editing, writing, and teaching. It also proved to be the credential--more than my PhD--that helped me find my pla= ce at Emerson College and the Creative Writing Program there. Of course, in = the long view back, I had been writing and producing magazines since my schoo= l days with a toy printing press, and later a basement print shop, and then= in college editing the Amherst Literary Magazine. My love of reading, writin= g, and publishing had been one love for most of my life. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

The presentation of three short Futurist plays stars Emily Anderson, Sandra Dedo, John Hyland, and Josh Smith. Lights and tech for all pieces by Sara Elizabeth Genco and Chris Van Patten. Is the timeless story of Doctor Faustus one about temptation from the devil= , or is it about gender conflict, relationship trouble, and anxieties about technology in the modern age? Count on Gertrude Stein to tease out and develop the latter threads from the classic tale. In her rendering of the play, Faustus is not so much magician as modern inventor, and the implications of the technologies he creates are only the most apparent=97an= d, still, highly amusing=97new wrinkles that she adds. While Mephisto remains = a diabolical presence throughout the play, her rendering brings forward the conflict that Faustus=92 megalomania sparks with his love interest, the dou= bly named Marguerite Ida and Helena Anabelle, as well as characteristic Steinia= n language pyrotechnics involving a chorus and other characters, including a Dog, a Little Boy, a Country Woman, and a mysterious Man from Over the Seas= . The play has been performed numerous times=97including by the Judson Poets= =92 Group, the Wooster Group, and Robert Wilson=97as its relative accessibility and discernible narrative line are well balanced with Gertrude Stein=92s challenging language play.

Suite201, New York , NY 10001 Steve Fellner: The Weary World Rejoices "Steve Fellner takes us into the hidden places in this beautiful and fright= ening collection. Here is testimony to the brave and shameful impulses of t= he human heart, composed in language that is both familiar and completely o= riginal.... You will not forget these poems." -Laura Kasischke Paolo Javier: The Feeling Is Actual "Javier hits the big notes: sex, romance, even aging and regret. The poetry= often comes in the form of prose ... and of visual poetry in which comics = collide with sly wit. All this with the multi-cultural vantage we expect fr= om the poet, which comes to the fore in later sections, abetted by found im= ages and typography. 'if im like a piece of bok choy / then you are probabl= y / a piece of broccoli... /its just the communication thing.' Listen to th= is book, watch it, lap it up." -Vincent Katz Mary Mackey: Sugar Zone "Mary Mackey takes you on a fascinating journey to the interior, somewhere = between Saint Theresa's Inner Castle and the thicket of Eros-but also a pla= ce of desperate actuality, even if it is 'on the other side of the world.' = Mackey joins other visionary poets of d=E9paysement-Henri Michaux in Asia, = John Ash in Anatolia, Sharon Doubiago in Peru , Lorca in Manhattan . But Ma= ckey really seems to recover a lost part of herself in the edgy lyricism of= the tropics, haunted by fado, forro, and death . . . SUGAR ZONE authoritat= ively creates a language and a culture; but the lines are tense with the vu= lnerability of lovers, strangers, and travelers with no ticket home." - Dennis Nurkse Stephen Paul Miller: There Is Only One God and You're Not It "Stephen Paul Miller has written the most swingin', rockin', jazzy history = of Judaism, Jews, and our favorite one and only God there is, that you will= ever read. In verse. And if you read it you will have to think about it. W= hile tapping your foot. And is it unbelievably funny to see this maniac of = a poet wrestling with a disembod=ADied spirit aided by Plato and Irving Ber= lin? That too. With Hitchcock and John Cage wagging the dog? Enter this boo= k, you enter Indie Poetry." -Alicia Ostriker Marsh Hawk Press books often highlight the affinity of poetry and the visua= l arts. Each book is produced with particular care to visual style, often i= ncluding reproductions of artwork alongside poems. Marsh Hawk Press also sp= onsors readings and exhibits, and hosts a web site with a rotating exhibiti= on space, as well as several blogs focused on poetry and visual art. The p= ress also offers a poetry prize judged by a poet of national stature. Marsh Hawk Press books are available from SPD, Amazon, and b= etter bookstores.

No plugin required. It's a playful activity, the goal of which is to experience color music (no audio) and create something you like to look at. The experience of color music isn't so much about the creation of beautiful stills as experiencing and modulating/modifying the flow of color and shape in a pleasing way. But it's also possible to approach Aleph Null toward the creation of beautiful stills. See http://vispo.com/aleph/jim for my own attempt at creating beautiful stills with Aleph Null. These are best experienced at night. Or at least with the lights off. Aleph Null is best viewed with Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, though it also works with other browsers and IE 9. It also runs on smart phones and the iPad, though it runs more slowly on these devices. Aleph Null is my first work using the new HTML 5 canvas tag and the first serious visual work of art I've seen created with the canvas tag. ja ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Williamsburg 3:00-6:00 $10 suggested contribution Take any subway train to 14th Street, where you can get the L train to Brooklyn. Get out at the Bedford Ave. stop, the first one in Brooklyn. If you want to take a bus from the subway, leave the platform at the Driggs Ave. exit. Take the #62 bus, the only bus that stops there. The bus stop is in front of the pizza place. The ride usually lasts about 15 minutes. Get off the bus at Division Ave. and Berry Street. Walk toward the water on Division Ave. for two blocks to Kent Ave., turn right one block to 475 Kent. It's that big, gray former warehouse building. The number on the door buzzer is 410. That means fourth floor, tenth unit. The door to the floor should be locked. Don't worry about it. I'll be right out. Walking from the L train subway stop: Either walk west on N. 7th St. to Kent Ave., (3 blocks), then turn left and walk about 19 blocks to 475 Kent, or walk south on Bedford Ave. (walk to the left from the Bedford Ave. exit), turn right on Broadway, turn left on Kent Ave. You can also take the J or M train to the Marcy Ave. stop. Take the #62 bus which stops at Roebling St.,corner of S. 8th St. (near Broadway), to Division Ave. and Berry Street (see above). If you prefer to walk, turn left on Havemeyer to Division Ave., turn right and walk seven blocks to Kent Ave., turn right one block to 475. By car or by taxi from Manhattan--get on the Williamsburg Bridge from Delancey St., in the right lane. Exit at the first exit, "Broadway-Staten Island." Go straight across the intersection. Go two blocks to the next light (Division Avenue), Turn right. Go to the end of the street and turn right at Kent Avenue. 475 Kent is at the end of the block. By car from the BQE: going north, take the Flushing Ave. exit, turn left on Classon, turn onto Kent Ave., stay on Kent to 475. (watch for Division Ave. 475 is on the next corner--S. 11th St.); going south, exit at Metropolitan Ave., take Metropolitan to Wythe Ave., turn left and go to Division Ave., turn right on Division to Kent. Turn right to 475, one block. There is parking on Kent Ave. ________________________________________________________________ Nov 30th with Brant Lyons ( Hydrogen Jukebox) at Cornelia Street Cafe 6pm On Tue, 4 Oct 2011 14:59:00 -0500 William Allegrezza writes: > Spirits, the literary magazine of Indiana University Northwest, is > currently > accepting submissions of poetry, short stories, artwork, and > photograph for > its next issue.

Where it would go, no poet could ever be sure.Confidence then is an odd thing in poetry, not that the next word will be right, but that our loyalty to the process is itself a leap into the unknown.I think this is the nature of Tranströmer's fidelity to the poem, the willingness to leave (to surrender?) the known spaces of the world in order to find what is true simultaneously to both that "ignition" and to language itself: And the sea wind is in the dry pines further away, hurrying over the churchyard sand, past the leaning stones, the pilot's names. The dry sighing of great doors opening and great doors closing.

I often used ideas generated by art forms that ran under such banners as minimalism and multimedia, as well as models from advertising and accidental characteristics of mimeograph production, to draw greater significance from fragments. I was interested i= n the way the origins of literacy and Western culture related to the present. In 1975, I changed my source to fragments written in Aramaic and left by a colony of Jewish exiles in Egypt during the first Diaspora. Many of the fragments were lists of names based in the Biblical Book of Psalms, implyin= g or registering circumstances of birth and social position, the fathers' pride and the mothers' pain, the fears, hopes, and obligations of individuals in a precariously situated community. The fragments =96 the old= est Jewish writing that survives on anything like paper =96 included the first mention of a pogrom, and lists used in managing the daily affairs of the community. This seemed an ideal starting point for a brief and gritty sketc= h of some of the basics of Western history. The result was a book, Cried and Measured, published by David Meltzer's Tree Books in 1977. I moved on to early fragments of Old Latin. In my workings of the earliest texts in the alphabet that we now use, I turned to an exploration of readin= g practices in relation to poetry in our own time. The Roman alphabet evolved into a writing system that could be read silently. This reduced or destroye= d the sound patterns which had distinguished poetry from other forms of language art. In working with Old Latin fragments, I used some of the practices of early writing (inconsistent direction of reading; lack of separation between words) to create rhythms by differing reading speeds, replacing such devices as metrics with pacing that didn't depend on audibility. At a time when literati were talking about "interrogating" the nature of meaning, it was discouraging to me to see how much trouble they had with a work like this which experimented with the more basic questions of the essential mechanics of reading. In this much larger book, frameworks of stoicism, dread, tranquility, and, despair frame comic and quotidian trills. bpNichol published the book that resulted, Should Sun Forever Shine= , in 1980. That next step was the translation into contemporary terms by the distant descendents of the authors of the original documents which survived in fragments. For Cried and Measured, that would require a contemporary Jew, who had lost family in the Holocaust, and was, as the Psalms put it, "A stranger in a strange land," living outside Israel and writing in a languag= e other than Hebrew. Marton Koppany, a Hungarian Jew whose very name resemble= s those of the fragments, offered to do the job. Since Marton is, in my opinion, the best literary minimalist I'm familiar with, I could not have been more fortunate. There were many coincidences in this work: My father, = a U.S. Army chaplain, had given primary aid to the survivors of the concentration camp at Dachau; an event which changed his life and set in motion aspects of mine before I was born. My father taught at an Army base in Germany when the Soviets destroyed the Hungarian uprising of 1956. As a child watching these events unfold at close hand, they had a significant impact on my worldview. I had several Italian translators in mind through much of the 90s and early 00s, particularly those belonging to the Inismo group. However, I came into contact with Anny Ballardini, who worked extensively with internet publication. She seemed an ideal translator for more reasons than I could have imagined or hoped for in advance. This completed the basic process of "bringing the text back home" - I had first returned to the origins of western culture in Judaism, from whence the figure Jerome Rothenberg had called "the first universal Jew" had given the Mediterranean world a nexus of ideas around which to build a new religion. A modern Jewish exile had translated it into the language of a hostile nation. The writing system the Romans used for their evangelical book, like it or not, has held the west together ever since. Likewise, a modern Italian woman who had made extensiv= e use of the Roman alphabet in cyberspace, translated my second fragment book into Modern Italian, the language into which Old Latin has evolved. Its alphabet, made transmissible by digital electronics, was the first to make the internet a force in binding the world's individuals together. I used th= e first Roman efforts at writing to suggest a new poetic process, as well as to transform visual poetry into a more complex and flexible genre. Although drafts have been on-line for comment since New Year's Day, and annexes will be added, my birthday, with Yom Kippur starting on its sunset, seems a good day to make a general announcement of its presence. At a time of geo-political crisis, and in the midst of revolutions in communication, we, the distant heirs of the origins of what's best and wors= t in western culture, the more immediate heirs of the Holocaust, the gulags, the country that could unleash nuclear weapons on the world, as well as the most rapid expanse in human knowledge and human potential, (and perhaps the last generation to learn to write without the availability of electronic communication) look back at our origins, and forward with confidence in the evolution of writing, and at least some examples of adaptability and survival to make hope seem more than a sentimental joke. _____________________________________________________________________ At this point, the site includes A general, and essential, essay on the project and its participants.

Williamsburg 3:00-6:00 $10 suggested contribution Take any subway train to 14th Street, where you can get the L train to Brooklyn. Get out at the Bedford Ave. stop, the first one in Brooklyn. If you want to take a bus from the subway, leave the platform at the Driggs Ave. exit. Take the #62 bus, the only bus that stops there. The bus stop is in front of the pizza place. The ride usually lasts about 15 minutes. Get off the bus at Division Ave. and Berry Street. Walk toward the water on Division Ave. for two blocks to Kent Ave., turn right one block to 475 Kent. It's that big, gray former warehouse building. The number on the door buzzer is 410. That means fourth floor, tenth unit. The door to the floor should be locked. Don't worry about it. I'll be right out. Walking from the L train subway stop: Either walk west on N. 7th St. to Kent Ave., (3 blocks), then turn left and walk about 19 blocks to 475 Kent, or walk south on Bedford Ave. (walk to the left from the Bedford Ave. exit), turn right on Broadway, turn left on Kent Ave. You can also take the J or M train to the Marcy Ave. stop. Take the #62 bus which stops at Roebling St.,corner of S. 8th St. (near Broadway), to Division Ave. and Berry Street (see above). If you prefer to walk, turn left on Havemeyer to Division Ave., turn right and walk seven blocks to Kent Ave., turn right one block to 475. By car or by taxi from Manhattan--get on the Williamsburg Bridge from Delancey St., in the right lane. Exit at the first exit, "Broadway-Staten Island." Go straight across the intersection. Go two blocks to the next light (Division Avenue), Turn right. Go to the end of the street and turn right at Kent Avenue. 475 Kent is at the end of the block. By car from the BQE: going north, take the Flushing Ave. exit, turn left on Classon, turn onto Kent Ave., stay on Kent to 475. (watch for Division Ave. 475 is on the next corner--S. 11th St.); going south, exit at Metropolitan Ave., take Metropolitan to Wythe Ave., turn left and go to Division Ave., turn right on Division to Kent. Turn right to 475, one block. There is parking on Kent Ave. ________________________________________________________________ Nov 30th with Brant Lyons ( Hydrogen Jukebox) at Cornelia Street Cafe 6pm On Sun, 9 Oct 2011 14:50:08 -0500 Jonathan Penton writes: > Announcing the Unlikely Stories south Louisiana "Unlikely Saints" > mini-tour!

We particularly encourage pieces that promote linguistic and genre transgressions, along with literary artworks that promote interdisciplinary explorations and conversations with past, present, or future literary concerns and movements. &NOW 2011: Tomorrowland Forever! is especially interested in literary artistic and literary critical works that circle ideas of innovation, experimentation, newness, and not-yetness; in futurisms of all kinds; in queries about progress, technology, market practices, and identity in relation to them; and in the possibilities of interrelationship between arts and other disciplines and engaged practices. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Steeped in lyric traditions and influenced by her training as a pianist, her poetry is known for its meditative and musical qualities. Yet it also restlessly questions the assumptions of traditional lyricism, form, and narrative. Of Sonnets, Rae Armantrout observes that =93in some ways, these poems are almost traditional," yet "in these taut, fast-paced, self-aware poems, the lyric meets 21st-century paranoia and sparks fly.=94 Carol Dorf writes that Martin creates =93a world where science and myth intersect,=94 a =93world of a mind reflecting on itself, the natural and built environments, time, and language.=94 And Jordan Scott speaks of =93the magnificence in these poems, a poetic magnetic, propelling you to turn the page.=94 One of her current poetry projects is =93Looms,=94 a collection of layered narratives. She is also working on =93The Evangeline Papers,=94 a poetic sequence based on her Acadian/Cajun heritage and her participation in archaeological digs at an eighteenth-century village in Nova Scotia.

He was also a political poet who bravely tackled themes of oppression and hardship both in Scotland and throughout the world. In many ways, his work brought Scottish Gaelic poetry into the modern world for the first time. But his work had deep roots in the Gaelic tradition, and the fresh modernism of his work was founded on the corner stones of that tradition. In this lecture, M=E1ire N=ED Annrach=E1in will provide a new reading of some of Maclean=92s best-known poems, illuminating and celebrating their themes of love, heroism and the very land itself.

Production has been slow or = on hold, but by no means stopped. 2. in the meantime, and in light of the continuing occupation of Zucotti Park in NYC (along with similar actions everywhere) *Whiskey & Fox* is goin= g to take up the torch of its earlier hasty mode of production, making haste on a series of very short issues in a special series dispatched specificall= y for the various radical occupations currently underway. What is meant by =93for the occupations=94 is not =93in tribute to,=94 perhaps not even =93i= n solidarity with,=94 but as a foxing of theory and poetry/poetics into the occupations/as part of the occupations. See the full call for work at, Whiskeyandfox.org , download the nice-looking PDF of the call for work here in order to circulate it, or just see below: *Parks & Occupation*: a call for work *Vol. 5, Special series (dedicated to Denise Levertov & Robert Duncan)* Writing as the Office for Soft Architecture, Canadian poet Lisa Robertson asks, =93what shall our new ornaments be? How shall we adorn mortality now?=94=97insisting that =93this is a serious political question.=94 *Whisk= ey & Fox*wishes to provisionally believe this and calls for work that will function to ornamentally elaborate the current occupations of parks, squares, etc. An editorial in the second issue of the *Occupied Wall Street Journal*states, =93For Wall Street and Washington, the demand is not on them to give us something that isn=92t theirs to give. It=92s ours. It=92s on us. We are= n=92t going anywhere. We just got here.=94 But where are we; and how are we going= to think, elaborate, and decorate this place? It is no surprise that the space= s currently occupied are parks. Park space in particular already ornaments, articulates the interfaces of our human affects with countless non-human ecologies. This is not a matter of aesthetic surplus. How we decorate a new kind of a public space will matter; it will determine the variability of it= s surfaces. As we continue to witness capitalism collapse in on itself it wil= l become more and more urgent to elaborate parkspace, even in small hasty bursts; to decorate the spaces we already occupy as parks with/as the ornaments that will articulate the spaces of a new democracy. But how to decorate the new park? How does poetry occupy such a park? For example, is there room for the intimacy of the coterie in the new park, or must the =91public=92 projects of Duncan and Olson dominate? *Whiskey & Fox* asks for paragraph-long essays, poems, images, et alia, to publish in a special series which will return to our short format issues (roughly 6 pages an issue). For this series the =91Fox again requests hasty writing and will proceed with hasty publication of very brief issues to facilitate hard copy distribution. The libraries accumulating at the public occupations are of increasing importance and in need of, among other contributions, those pertinent to issues of the queer sexual politics which inhere in *Whiskey & Fox=92s *function as a journal of poetry, theory, and queer-heterotopoi. *Whiskey & Fox *asks you to =91language Language for democratic dwelling,= =92 Make haste!

(BuschekBooks); Ottawa + Toronto launches, My most recent poetry collection, A (short) history of l. (BuschekBooks) is now available. To order, check the BuschekBooks website, or drop $20 (outside Canada, $20 US) and I'll mail you a copy. Copies will also be available at the fall edition of the ottawa small press book fair, November 5, 2011. rob mclennans A (short) history of l. is a collection of short, sharp, tight, lyric love poems, written still under the influence of the Canadian ghazal (as brought into Canadian literature through British ex-pat John Thompson), writing evasive and disparate leaps between lines that leave the connection sometimes thin, and often open-bare. How far can a poem go when so many seemingly unconnected references are woven through the text, the idea of the love poem, including science, popular culture, old film stars, historical characters? A (short) history of l. works to specifically place these poems firmly in the immediate world, one that includes the whole world and not just compartmentalizing love away from all else. When we love, do we lose our interest in the world? link to BuschekBooks here. http://www.buschekbooks.com/ Challenging but never cryptic, intimate but never insular, these poems deftly walk a series of fine lines. mclennan is a master at writing the particular details of any mo­ment in such a way that the reader is free to imagine the larger structures of feeling and meaning. The results are exhilarating! Andy Weaver, author of Gangson Oh, the stubborn heart. A (short) history of l. read with the urgency of an impossible narrative. Hunger, longing, desire, confusion, ache...what more did you want? mclen­nan has carved an ancient story new. These are poems to fall into without regret. Rhonda Douglas, author of Some Days I Think I Know Things The author of more than twenty trade books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction in a number of countries, rob mclennan has published work in over two hundred trade journals in fourteen countries and three languages, and performed in Ireland, England, Wales, the United States and across Canada. His most recent titles are the poetry collections Glengarry (Vancouver: Talon, 2011), kate street (Chicago: Moira, 2011) and 52 flowers (or, a perth edge) (Japan: Obvious Epiphanies, 2010) and a sec­ond novel, missing persons (Toronto: The Mercury Press, 2009). In 1999, he won the CAA/Air Canada Prize for most promising writer (in any genre) in Canada under the age of thirty, and spent the 2007-8 academic year in Edmonton as writer-in-res­idence at the University of Alberta, and, since June 2003, has been regularly posting reviews, essays, interviews and other notices at robmclennan.blogspot.com. rob lives in Ottawa, Ontario.

T= heir secret voices are beautiful Spray Spray Spray=20 =20 AUTHOR=E2=80=99S STATEMENT: =20 This book intends to present both verbal and visual poetries as equal. Thou= gh notions of poetics have shifted and swerved, what has stayed solid throu= ghout is that the alphabet, the word =E2=80=93 however arranged =E2=80=93 c= ontains, within it, dual significance. First, the proto-historic role of th= e visual conveyance of represented fact. Second, the overriding desire of h= uman utterance to substantiate existence. In conjoining these two models th= is book hopes to form a third, blurred value. Thought and experience are fa= ctors that accrue, while staring and writing help resolve and conclude. Tex= t itself is an amalgam of units of meaning. As you stare at text you notice= the visual aspects of letters. As one stares further, meaning loses its hi= erarchy and words discorporate and the alphabet itself begins to surface. S= hapes, spatial relations and visual associations emerge as one delves furth= er. Alphabetic bits or parts or snippets of letters can create an added vis= ual vocabulary amidst the very text one is reading. One aim, to this end, i= s to merge and hinge visual and textual writing into workable forms. This b= ook collects some of these experiments. =20 AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: =20 Nico Vassilakis was born in New York City in 1963. He has co-written and pe= rformed a one-man play about experimental composer Morton Feldman. Vassilak= is is co-founder and curator for the Subtext Reading Series and editor of C= lear-Cut: Anthology (A Collection of Seattle Writers). He has been a guest-= editor of WOS#35: Northwest Concrete and Visual Poetry and his visual poetr= y videos have been shown worldwide at festivals and exhibitions of innovati= ve language arts. In 1998, Vassilakis co-produced, with Rebecca Brown, a 24= -hour =E2=80=9CGertrude Stein-a-thon.=E2=80=9D His work has appeared in num= erous magazines, including Ribot, Caliban, Aufgabe, Chain, Talisman, Centra= l Park and Golden Handcuffs Review. He works for Fantagraphic Books and liv= es in Seattle with his son, Quixote. With Crag Hill, he edited The Last Vis= po Anthology: 1998-2008, a major anthology of visual poetry, due out in 201= 2 from Fantagraphics. Chapbooks: Askew (bcc press), Stampologue (RASP), Orange: A Manual (Sub Rosa Press), D= iptychs: Visual Poems (Otolith), Pond Ring (nine muses books), sequence (Bu= rning Press), Enoch and Aloe (Last Generation Press), The Colander (housepr= ess), Flattened Missive (P.I.S.O.R. Publications), Species Pieces (gong pre= ss), KYOO (Burning Press) and others. =20 DVD: CONCRETE: Movies (Sub RosaPress) =20 COMMENTS ON TEXT LOSES TIME:=20 =E2=80=9CPart nested Minimalist cubes and part laser light that won't diver= ge across distance, Nico Vassilakis' poetry seems to ask whether we are pri= mates at play on a baseball diamond of memory and desire beside mural-lined= public structures slipping toward infinite regression. =20 Richly iterative, these pairings and alphabets escape the mirror to thrill = us with variation and sting all forms of complacency. Vassilakis extends Ou= lipian strategies: Perec references, lamellisections, crystalline build-ou= ts and transpositions, a scat of nonrepresentational vocables, lettered whi= rlwinds giving speed for legibility, -- "extracting the gem through layers= of gauze" and, other times, lowering a gem into a fold. =20 Can an argument between a machine that produces texts and "longhand into ti= ny notebooks" wake us up? In pain, "the throbbing thumb" makes us "attend = to the living." =20 If Vassilakis revises the rock lyric "meet-the-new-boss, same-as-the-old-bo= ss" to "meet the solipsistic era. same as the old solipsistic era," is tre= atment to be had in a bar, a science lab, or will it reach us over the radi= o? Try a road trip, so "you can't afford to blink, to be blind for even a = second" going through a colander out where dust is breeding and "glass trap= s lighting" like no scene you've seen in quite this way. Through crevices, = perforations, punctures, piercings, pinholes, see neighborhoods as "that pl= ace where organized sleeping happens." So, look for a faceted colony that "= sometimes congeals."=E2=80=9D =20 --Deborah Meadows =20 =E2=80=9CNico Vassilakis' Text Loses Time unhinges the folds of the book an= d the word; as the 'folded loose leafed sheets whiz past your ears' you can= hear the echoes of meaning. The words flake off the page like aged paint l= eaving a patina of colour and meaning on the surface and a growing heap of = signification at our feet. Here the means of writing rise up and turn again= st our expectation, lurching into new spaces.

The poems, though seemingly disparate, are bound by an oscillation between an earnest reflection on the universality of suffering and a detached, unaffiliated mysticism yearning to transcend such cynicism. Underlying Tholl's meditations and cries for liberation is a language punctuated with a childlike playfulness that is humorous yet assuredly sincere.

Drawing on recent research in = media archaeology, we see network archaeology as a method for = re-orienting the temporality and spatiality of network studies. Network = archaeology might pay attention to the history of distribution = technologies, location and control of geographical resources, the = emergence of circulatory models, proximity and morphology, network = politics and power, and the transmission properties of media. What can = we learn about contemporary cultural production and circulation from the = examination of network histories? How can we conceptualize the = polychronic developments of networks, including their growth, = adaptation, and resistances? How might the concept of network = archaeology help to re-envision and forge new paths of interdisciplinary = research, collaboration, and scholarship? The conference will trace continuities and disjunctures between a = variety of networks, including telecommunication networks, distribution = systems for both digital and non-digital texts, transportation routes, = media storage (libraries, databases, e-archiving), electrical grids, = radio and television broadcast networks, the internet, and surveillance = networks. We seek to address not only the technological, institutional, = and geopolitical histories of networks, but also their cultural and = experiential dimensions, extending to encompass the histories of network = poetics and practice. The proceeds of the conference will form the basis = for a substantial publication on Network Archaeology. This conference is organized by the Miami University Humanities Center = and is the final event in a year-long series entitled =93Networked = Environments: Interrogating the Democratization of Media.=94 It is a = companion to our Fall 2011 symposium, =93Networks and Power,=94 on = November 17-18th featuring panels, interventions, and keynote = presentations by Wendy Chun (Brown University) and Lisa Parks (UC Santa = Barbara), that interrogate the interrelationships between networked = environments, both old and new, and varied forms of power. The = =93Networked Environments=94 series, involving an interdisciplinary = group of ten humanities scholars, seeks to show how the network dynamics = so crucial to contemporary political developments have deep and perhaps = unexpected roots in the histories of earlier forms of information = production and circulation. We welcome presentations of academic research and artistic projects on = contemporary and historical network studies.

Featuring six talented vocalists, an ensemble of fifteen instrumentalists, and live video projections, the opera is organized using the same cut-up techniques and emphasis on language that distinguishes Burroughs’ literary work.

The essays and columns have been published in various places in the last five years =E2=80=93 about half of the bo= ok consists of material written for The Reykjav=C3=ADk Grapevine, Iceland's englis= h speaking magazine, the other half are lectures and longer pieces written fo= r various occasions, but all aimed at a foreign audience.

Eir=C3=ADkur =C3=96rn Nor=C3=B0dahl redefines the issue of poetry and national language in a brilliant and transformative essay that is the centerpiece of the collection. His impatience with the tried and true is infectious. One of the most engaged and enthusiastic works of poetics in recent years. =E2=80=9C Charles Bernstein, author of All the Whiskey in Heaven (Farrar, Strauss & Giroux, 2010), Attack of the Difficult Poems (University of Chicago Press, 2011) amongst other books. =E2=80=9CNor=C3=B0dahl's essays are brilliant vivisections of contemporary poetry and= its problems, filtered through the prism of Iceland's 2008 economic collapse =E2=80= =94 a close cousin of our own so-called "economic downturn." The kitschy, nostalgia-driven "future economies" of both contemporary money culture and poetry culture are closely linked here (and elsewhere): " . . . the presen= t worships an outdated past, even at the cost of a living present." As poets we may be working toward a goal of "fame" in the twilight of imagination =E2=80= =94 and, as citizens, working toward "affluence" in the twilight of capitalism = =E2=80=94 but if we identify the importance of the living moment as "the only eternit= y that lasts, without pause," at least one of us may yet become that "he or she who affects . . . the entire critical mass of moments we call eternity" =E2=80=94 beyond the mirage-like glow of "fame." Nor=C3=B0dahl's lively essays als= o introduce us to (perhaps) heretofore unexplored global poetries old and new in the most entertaining way, and leave us pondering a few delightful scenarios: "Imagine a poem so robust and resourceful that it could survive humanity . . . the nuclear dust finally settles and all that's left of mankind is poetry." Considering how long poetry's been around, that's probably what's going to happen anyway. But in case you're wondering what = a poetry that robust might look like, there may be some presentiments of it right here.=E2=80=9D=20 =E2=80=94 Sharon Mesmer, author of Annoying Diabetic Bitch (Combo Books, 2008) an= d The Virgin Formica (Hanging Loose, 2008).

Different versions above have different filtering. Analog was used to avoid digital issues between the mic and recorder. The sound was gathered at a number of sites in Eyebeam, most of them involving metal grids: stairways, interior fencing, upper-level flooring. The result was a gathering of resonances between metal, Eyebeam-body (interior space), and sounds transmitted either in air or directly through metal. The harmonic structures are strong and dissonant. The body cries out in murderous delight. Down the street, an 18-wheeler is gathering up the disassembled Matthew Barney work. Such heavy metal would have collapsed with a thud. Elsewhere lighter-than-air work delights the blue-grey sky and rain is forecast. The Eyebeam building is singing everywhere. It is singing You can't catch me. You can't catch me. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.
