UC has drastically cut its poetry list--after the next round of books, now in process, that will be more apparent. It's a matter of severe money shortage. But, tho doing any collected is an enormous amount of editing work, John and Steve Jonas present special problems. Behind the State Capitol was largely gathered from the floor of John's Joy Street apartment by Charley Shively.

Cauldron is on the job, too, working the hot-stick on Ley lines from Giant.s Despair to Kingdom Come, with a backpack full of old tube equipment and spools of magnetic tape. Cauldron spins secret messages encoded in lace and tosses the achillea millefolium to see where to go next. Cauldron wants to remind you that all you see is not all there is. The margins of .things. are crawling, if you know how to look: ancient spirits, saints, faeries, fractal elves, jeweled self-dribbling basketballs, etc. etc. etc. The trick is to find your way back to an unmediated life. So take Cauldron.s hand. Ignore the fire-exit signs warning you that an alarm will sound. It won.t. Push the door open. stumble into brighter light. the untended back lot behind our shared reality. where weeds push stark flowers through cracks in the cement. once you get out there everything is so quiet, all you hear is the breezes-s-s-s. butterflies and blue lizards flit and skitter amid the rubble of forgotten thoughts. .How wonderful that you're here!. they say. .You come so rarely! We're so delighted to see you!. Cauldron deals out a three of cups: Alan Sondheim, a pioneer of mystical ear-tweak and sci-fi sonic ritual sound, chamber-improv gypsy cellist Helena Espvall, and eco-trance singer Azure Carter. thrice to thine and thrice to mine, and thrice again, to make up nine. Channeling the ghosts of Opal Whiteley and Lou Harrison, Cauldron conjures the scratch and shush of the Big Bang out of wood, wind and cat-gut. Whenever you listen to it, this album is always over too soon, just like life. Fire Museum and Tequila Sunrise Records deal out a two of pentacles: not to get all .Yankee Candle. here, but we only made 250 of these, so grab one before they melt away like chemtrails in the sunset sky." - Fred Astarte, Tequila Sunrise Records Dan Joseph (Brooklyn): Dan Joseph is a free-lance composer based in New York City.

Cover drawing by Glen Baxter. Larry Fagin's new work, like fine mosaic, is an essay, a threshold, and something like figures in a landscape blasted apart. Unlike Rimbaud’s lush prose poems which so many try to imitate, these engage in an aesthetic of deflation. They are the art of sinking while remaining solid. They are wittier than most of the prose poetry we know, sober and also hilarious. Comedy is never mere. Each of the poems here adds up to something grander and with more genuine pathos than one might have thought possible. As Fagin says vatically: “Not to know me is not to not love me.” He surrounds you, a strange sensation. —David Shapiro If poetry is, as Paul Valéry proposed, a holiday of the mind, Larry Fagin is the intellectual’s Henny Youngman. His witty, staccato concatenations of one-liners cum prose poems are highly disorienting yet exhilarating, combining low and high comedy (and erudite cultural reference) in what amounts to a high-wire act on each page. Nor, as in the best comedy, are important human concerns ever far removed. I don’t know any other poet who manages parataxis with such élan, or who casts so many lines that reeling them in is a virtual impossibility— until the poems accomplish just that. —Charles North What doesn’t Larry Fagin remember. Where is he, as the writing appears to generate itself inevitably, colliding from the prior phrase—an alloy of semi-secret knowledge, huge distance, and mandarin taste. So he’s standing back, for the long view, but also up to his eyeballs in the material nougat, being so thoroughly informed. Apposites don’t just naturally gel in such recognizable shapes that you can’t see it coming. And then you do, breathing again. —Alan Bernheimer While it is to be hoped that someone is busying themselves gathering the best of Larry Fagin’s earlier uncollected poems—the “Narrative Techniques” series (and related pieces), the “Eleven Poems” for Philip Guston—we have Cuneiform Press to thank for publishing this long-in-the-works book of Fagin’s wonderful prose poems. This latter form has been Fagin’s primary focus as a poet for much of the last twenty years (it is, astonishingly, almost thirty years since his last collection, the seventeen-page Nuclear Neighborhood), and it is a joy to have the fruits of his researches in this area collected between two covers at last. While Fagin well understands that 1+1=3, the greater mystery of his prose poems is that they are as much allover as additive works, their every sentence joined to its neighbors—and not only those—by sensible glue, which, here, is duplicitous in the very best sense: alive as in thickly a-hum. Some of the poems are antic, yes, but every “ka-pow” is balanced—maintained in exquisite suspension, in fact—by a corresponding “pa-dow,” such that the overall arrangement of poems—which is perfect, as you might expect—constitutes a poem in itself. Other pieces contain elements that may, upon first glance, strike the reader as arch (there is such a thing as a “Larryism”), but this material, more often than not, is inducted into the poem via an utter delicacy of ostention: selection as caress, show and tell reimagined as intimate act. These Fragments constitute impressions taken on a writing pad that might best be imagined as a stack of index cards shot in natural light on black-and-white ’Scope; their sum is entirely equal to—but at no point a copy of—the world. —Miles Champion Larry Fagin doesn't want to be famous. At times he's published his poems anonymously and at times insisted that his students & colleagues do likewise. The students insist that he is the best teacher ever or at least since X, Y or Z, all long dead (Z for centuries). The poems themselves are small, modest as Fagin is modest, yet built to last for generations. What if Cavafy were a member of the New York School? Or if Catullus had been a part of the Spicer Circle? They're powerful & opaque like the Barnett Newman sculpture in 2001, tho the design preference is that each one should be no bigger than a breadbox. I think of them as the blood diamonds of the Lower East Side. That is so not Brooklyn, you say. Exactly. —Ron Silliman Larry Fagin is the author of 14 books of poetry. He is the co-publisher of Adventures in Poetry books, and edits Sal Mimeo, a little magazine. He lives in New York City, where he teaches privately.

Intricate in form but modern and tawdry in diction, Advice for Lovers walks a fine line between the anything-goes orthography of the Elizabethans and the shifting etymologies of Finnegans Wake. With the inclusion of trans- and third-gender pronouns, the work also argues for a= proliferation of pronouns beyond a gendered dichotomy. Yet in the midst o= f its classical splendor we encounter more contemporary figures like Johnny= Cash, Ricky Martin, and Jack Spicer. Sexy, kinky, disquieting, Advice for= Lovers blazes an erotic trail into the 21st century.=20 Praise for ADVICE FOR LOVERS:=20 "What if I'm spirited away to live in a torch song?=97Where the landscape= is a lover's discourse? Julian Talamantez Brolaski has me in thrall! In this enchanting book, Julian jacks up the artifice and jacks up the feeling." =96Robert Gl=FCck=20 "In this aesthetically audacious collection of poems, Julian Talamantez Brolaski offers xir 'advice to lovers' in unabashedly voluptuous language= . This is dithyrambic verse, variously festive and feisty, impudent and sad= . It is beautiful, but never serene. And how could it be? The difference between 'seeing to' and 'singing to' is not large, and everything in this= book suggests that to advise is to love. In giving it, Julian exercises x= ir native tongue with linguistic amorousness over a wide range of poetic registers. Guidance has never been this much fun; jouissance has never be= en smarter."=20 =96Lyn Hejinian=20 About the City Lights Spotlight series:=20 City Lights Spotlight shines a light on the wealth of innovative American= poetry being written today. We publish accomplished figures known in the poetry community as well as young emerging poets, using the cultural visibility of City Lights to bring their work to a wider audience. In doi= ng so, we also seek to draw attention to those small presses publishing such= authors. About the author: Julian T.

Schultz Edit girl *Maged Zaher, */*The Revolution Happened and You Didn't Call Me,*///2012, 67 pp., $15, designed by Allison Hanabusa Maged Zaher is an Egyptian engineer who lives and writes English-language poetry in Seattle, Washington; his previous chapbook with Tinfish Press was co-authored with Pam Brown and titled /farout library software /(2007)/. /Zaher writes with haiku-like brevity and precision about his return to Egypt shortly after the 2011 revolution. Already foreseeing the counter-revolution, his eye gravitates toward the absurd paradoxes of global capitalism and local revolution, as he moves from coffee shop to public square and then back. Anthony McCann writes of the book: "I find it hard to read this book without looking up and wondering who and what and where I am. It returns me again and again to wondering what a person is, what speaking is, and what we mean by 'the world'. Deterritorialization is one of its main concerns and main activities, something that I think can be said about Zaher's work in general, whether he is undermining the reality effects of nation states and their borders, or of corporate spectral omnipresence, or unpeeling his own personal multiply-deterritorialized lyric self. It is vital, lucid, and uncompromising work that leaves this reader feeling more alive and open to 'our moment,' and less secure than ever about what that might mean. Despite its often slashing irony, I find it a very tender book as well. The gentleness and the slightness of the form cradles a reader (this one anyway) preventing panic and interpretative foreclosure. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

This year, Thomas Devaney graciously accepted the role of judge= . The judge will read anonymous, unidentifiable texts.

After the initial round of readings the judge will assign one finalist. The winner of the Prize will receive a publishing contract in which the winning manuscript will be published as a full length collection in 2013. The poet will also receive 20 copies of the book. A subsequent round of readings will also take place to examine the =93highest tier=94 of applicants. In th= e past, some writers who had submitted to the prize but lost were ultimately considered for publication because of their outstanding work.

Send one unpublished manuscript per entry. Include a cover letter with your name, address, eMail and short bio. Do not put your name nor the title of your submission on the pages of the manuscript.

Opium and opiates, literary vice par excellence - with a history and person= alities in the literary scene, from Baudelaire to De Quincey, from Coleridg= e to Burroughs - find in this work a space unencumberedby victimism or prej= udice, with a delirious perspective, but free from censorship and taboos. The author writes in the introductory note:"These are sick (and hellish) pa= radis artificiels... It is better not to talk about certain diseases of bod= y and soul, it is better to conceal them, not to upset the sensibility of t= hose who, in the world, can so surelyseparate good and evil, health and aff= liction, heaven and hell. In fact, this book remained unpublished, and I wo= uld say secret, for more than twenty years". We can define The Book of Opium a work by a young poet: it contains, in fac= t, lyrics created byDavinio when she was from seventeen to thirty years old= . Mauro Ferrari points out in the afterword: "This is poetry which brings tog= ether in one bundle a life experience which is anyway full and painfullyjoy= ous - I too suggest an oxymoron- that in Italy this poetry has very few equ= als, and that it takes refuge neither in a more or less cursed attitude, no= r in moralism. [...]The poetry of Caterina Davinio drips vitality, corporea= lity and physicality, which, I think, makes us love life beyond measure, be= cause it sinks its nails into abjection, into hazard and death - into a cha= llenge to death, even, without rhetoric, neither in theconstruction of the = verses nor in the narrative dimension of this lucid and hallucinated diary.= [=E2=80=A6] History? Yes, the dates (between 1975 and 1990) tell us about = the years of terrorism and heroin; but the single texts, however, tell us a= story - rather they offer to us fragmented instants, a heap of broken imag= es,that do not aspire to total organicity - where the pursuit of pleasure (= momentary and fleeting, as always pleasure is, according to the poet Leopar= di) merges with the immersion in pain like systole and diastole. The desper= ate search for drugs is wandering, delay and waiting ("the waiting is every= thing"); the resurrection to life after a night of drugs, or the lucidity t= hat shines between two chasms, is then the terrible confirmation of the val= ue of "that life which is missing", confirmation of how life should be wooe= d, to feel alive one more day, drunk on the edge of the abyss." Caterina Davinio, writer, poet and artist, is known for her work in new med= ia, which has brought her, since 1990, in contact with the international av= ant-garde circuits, in publications, festivals, exhibitions and meetings of= global significance, such as the Venice Biennial, the Biennale of Sydney, = of Lyon, of Liverpool, of Athens, of Merida,E-Poetry festival (Barcelona an= d Buffalo, NY), Manifesta and many others, with over three hundred appearan= ces in meaningful exhibition contexts. This book gives us an opportunity to= know a dark periodpreceding 1990, in the Seventies and the Eighties, offer= ing a gallery of situations, characters and atmosphere from the world of dr= ug addiction, with moments of hedonism, nihilism, but also playful, or dram= atic, such as in "Overdose","Anorexia", "Flash (Poem of Heroin)". "The Book of Opium" presents one hundred and fourteen selected poems from t= he collection "Fatti deprecabili"(Deplorable Facts), almost entirely unpubl= ished, whichcontains texts written from Davinio's early adolescence. Davini= o began writing poetry at the age of fourteen years, composing, from 1971 u= ntil 1997, over four hundred poems and performance texts; some of them were= included in anthologies, readings and theater performances in the late Eig= hties and Nineties. The poems included in this book, never printed or prese= nted before, are a first attempt toorganize and arrange part of those manus= cripts for publication. The themes of drugs and marginality are not new in Davinio's literary produ= ction, already present in her novel Color Color, in various poems, and in h= er book SerialPhenomenologies (2010). The Book of Opium, with its language directed, up from its origins, to expe= rimentation, with a vocation for breaking the syntactical structures, the v= erses, and, sometime, the words, with the unpredictability of some unexpect= ed passages and variations, provides, in a not merelyneo-realistic way, an = unprecedented insight into life and the youthculture of the Seventies and t= he Eighties, perhaps the generationmost affected by what has been called th= e drug culture. *** Born in Foggia in 1957, Caterina Davinio grew up in Rome, where, after a de= gree in Italian Literature at Sapienza University, she dealt with contempor= ary art and new media, as a writer, as a curator and a theorist. Featured i= n international anthologies and journals, she has published the poetry coll= ection SerialPhenomenologies, Campanotto, 2010, special mention in Nabokov = Prize 2011 and in Lorenzo Montano Prize 2012, withparallel English text, af= terword by Francesco Muzzioli and a criticalnote by David W. Seaman; the no= vel Color Color, 1998; the essays: Techno-Poetry and Virtual Realities, 200= 2, with preface by Eugenio Miccini, and Virtual Mercury House. Planetary &a= mp; Interplanetary Events, book with dvd, 2012, about net-poetry. She gaine= d recognitions as a finalist in the awards: Lorenzo Montano,Franco Fortini,= 2011, Scriveredonna 2010 (Pescara), for unpublished poetry. Among the pion= eers of digital poetry and art in 1990, she has exhibited in more than thre= e hundred expos in many countries of Europe, Asia, America, Australia. Sinc= e 1997 she participated and has created poetry and multimedia art events in= seven editions of the Venice Biennale and collateral events. = = = = On the cover: Cater= ina Davinio, digital elaboration from a photographicself-portrait created i= n 1979. = = = = =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 coming Saturday at midnight, 30th June 23:59:60 (UTC), the first Leap second festival will take place. It will last until the 1st of July 00:00:00 (UTC). Within this leap second all the works of the festival are exhibited and performed. There are thirty-seven participants exhibiting and performing works of different types - video, audio, text, poem, visual, visual text, animation, conceptual, instructional, narration, dedication, musical score, polemic (if we want to categorize them as such). The participants are A. Andreas (Andreas Maria Jacobs), Cristina Andries, Sissel Berntsen, Brian Blaney, Ana Buigues, Yiorgos Chouliaras, Elisabeth S. Clark, Simon Coates, Roger Cummiskey, Chris Funkhouser, Peter Grass, Mathias Hauan Arbo, Martin Howse, INTERLICHTSPIELHAUS, Karl Heinz Jeron, Halvard Johnson, Irena Kalodera, Daniel Kelley, Jyrki Kirjalainen, Bonnie MacAllister, Bj=C3=B8rn Magnhild=C3=B8en, Nick Mattan, albert negredo, Pasha Radetzki, Stefan Riebel, Jesse Scott, Alan Sondheim, Anthony Stephenson, Otto Tall, andrew topel, jurgen trautwein aka jtwine, Nico Vassilakis, Visuel Sound : Blaise Merino & Ir=C3=A8ne Strubbe, Paul Wiegerinck, Jan Windle, Margo Wolf. Most works are shown in digital format and using the net as their venue, though their content might as well refer to other formats, venues and domains - whether online, offline, outline, site, on-site, non-site (or how we prefer). The festival is a distributed event coordinated on the net. Most works last one second. Though some are time-independent (in format), the basic idea of a miniature work that can be exhibited/performed within one second is followed. Since the festival only lasts one second, everything has to be shown simultaneously. So, Saturday at midnight, 30th June 23:59:60 (UTC), people going to the Leap second festival site will be able to see all the works executed, exhibited, and performed (or what it takes). In reality, the festival is an event that happens in a particular time, and not in any particular place. And since we all share the same time living on this free oscillating ball, disregarding relativity theory for the moment, the festival will actually take place everywhere and at the same time. We earthball-people operate with timezones, so take care to check when 30th of June 23:59:60 (UTC) is likely to happen in your temporary zone (autonomous or not), because the leap second does not occur on June 30 everywhere. Have a look at what UTC time is and compare to your clock to know when it's due. With this in mind, we proceed to the festival program, and have a look at what will happen during the leap second. All @ 23:59:60 A number of video and visual works will be shown. A mini movie with and without media by Paul Wiegerinck investigates the minimal requirements of the movie media. Bending Time and Space 1 Second for 10 Times by Jyrki Kirjalainen explores the perceptional illusion of time contraction through a repetition of a one-second sequence of the earth exploding. Change Brief Abridged by Anthony Stephenson is a series of motion studies based on the multi-paneled painting titled "Change - 3 Coins 64 Times". Martin Howse describes in container//mpeginmpeg a set of content-free, protocol-driven code objects which are embedded Russian-doll-style within themselves, in this instance one single video frame, and further explains, "The code for each object (commandline, Python or C code) is self-consciously literal, describing the process as algorithm without shortcuts. The container project embraces the use of the quine with any compiler considered as an embedding device. Future container examples will extend to include film-in-film and pornography-in-pornography. The container project raises the question of where any protocol boundaries for embeddings can be established". Irena Kalodera's film suite I-II can be considered, in the festival's opinion, self-referencial 'motion pictures' and meta-framing. millisecond(s) by Jesse Scott is an executable/applet of generative, random programming. shut@#%$^$up by Cristina Andrie=C8=99 is described as "The necessary solution to an unnecessary situation" and might be said to be a short and brutal political statement. INTERLICHTSPIELHAUS is showing six approximate seconds, based on 3D-model animations (as far as we know). The stitch by Ana Buigues demonstrates in the textile arts the extra stitch at the end of every round that one has to do, and without which the next round gets too tight. Whatever by Jan Windle is a 0.8 second polemic on the relationship of the present to the future (leaving some time for reflection before the festival ends). Bonnie MacAllister will be showing What the Water Wore filmed on location in Solomon's Island, MD. Also on the program are Caveat 1.1 by Simon Coates, Geschenke by Visuel Sound : Blaise Merino & Ir=C3=A8ne Strubbe, Mumble Sign by Otto Tall, Jump/cut//Impossible continuous action by Bj=C3=B8rn Magnhild=C3=B8en= , and Phony Lounge by Pasha Radetzki. Event/intervention. During the light intervention En un clin d'=C5=93il by Elisabeth S. Clark, 218 street lampposts in Bad Ems, Germany, will simultaneously be switched off as a split-second negation of light. This single second non-(street)light orchestration is ephemeral but will nevertheless signal and question the very measurement and distribution of time. At the leap second, Elisabeth S. Clark proposes that Bad Ems encounter a glimpse of non-time. Music, sound, and audio related work embrace many different types of work. With Leap Second Split the sculptor Sissel Berntsen will in an action record the sound of a 13100 kg piece of black diabase stone splitting in the moment of the leap second. This action will take place in Johansen Monumenthuggeri, Skjeberg , Norway. Frenchmebeer by Jurgen Trautwein AKA jtwine is ordering a draft beer in french. Jaa Nee - Yes No by Karl Heinz Jeron, a computer voice, a possible reference to Joseph Beuys, the bible, the digital, or all... . Daniel Kelley is for this 25th leap second presenting the musical score L25, A Free Oscillation of Earth During the Leap Second of 30 June 2012. In the informal notes, L25 for dummies he says about the work, "Using the Earth as a model of a couple of large bells, which can be excited by a Great earthquake, such as the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman, one of the bells represents the uniform ringing of the atomic time scale, the other bell beats slightly out of phase based on the prediction of change the Earth rotation rate between 29 and 30 June." Another poignant sound work for the festival, concerning global instability and precarity (whether political or physical), is The sound of money by A. Andreas (Andreas Maria Jacobs). This is the sound of 5 years Germany daily electricity prices from 2008 - 2013, squeezed to 1 second and compressed to the audible frequency range. To continue pigeonholing and hair-counting the works, we've come to textual based ones. Chris Funkhouser's three work that are to be shown - Ascend Pole, Oceans Pled, Placed Scaled Planes Spaced Places - are digital poetry text animations, dealing with anagrams for/of the leap second (which itself can be considered an anagrammatic operation on time). Buffering... by Bj=C3=B8rn Magnhild=C3=B8en is an instruction piece = about the stopping of time and mind. Classic Outlines (part of the Fast Food Classics) by Yiorgos Chouliaras is a poem which can be read in less than 1 second (by an epically fast narrator/reader). Dedication Pieces by Stefan Riebel is a performative textual piece, dedicating to the leap second. The Four videos by Nico Vassilakis are visual poetry pieces exploring narratives between text, image, and motion. k!: cal 1752 by Alan Sondheim presents a textual command that outputs the singular calendar of 1752 when it went from Julian to Gregorian. Halvard Johnson's word-poem deals with an aspect of spacetime. Andrew Topel's [untitled #1], [untitled #2] are instruction pieces for anybody to perform during the leap second. The sun is bright by Mathias Hauan Arbo is a 1 second video of rewriting a text. Also to be exhibited are Nick Mattan's text animation [untitled], John Connor is Peter Parker by Margo Wolf, Messi by Roger Cummiskey, One Second Om by Peter Grass, and Records by Albert Negredo. In addition there's also a small text section of the festival that consists of: Dead moments in time - The micromanaging moments of a cave man - By Ana Buigues. L25 for dummies - Notes on the musical score L25 by Daniel Kelley - A correspondence between Daniel Kelley and Bj=C3=B8rn Magnhild=C3=B8en. Leap second perspectives - Poem - By Brian Blaney. mafestOmarch (doc) - An art-social initiative - an art march rather than an art movement - by Pasha Radetzki. One should produce that thought which is nowhere supported - A commentary on a sentence from the platform sutra (teachings of Hui-neng) - By Bj=C3=B8rn Magnhild=C3=B8en. VR Improvised - A improvised meditation on the virtual and the real - By Alan Sondheim. -- Have a happy second! http://noemata.net/leapsec/ See what UTC time (Zulu time) is now: http://time.is/UTC Some more info on leap second time: http://time.is/leapsecond2012 =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 piece under discussion is Joe Keenan's MOMENT; it isn't a work of mine. But the video about it is mine, not "ours". Here is the final version of the video I made about MOMENT: http://vispo.com/keenan/4 If, as you say, you're simply clicking to see what happens, then you're not getting it, Murat. Seek out the metaphors. Then explore how they are developed. That way, you will stand a better chance of enjoying the piece as a work of writerly visual, kinetic and interactive poetry by exploring the texts, visuals, animation, and programming. Via clicking, reading, viewing, and getting under the neath text. ja http://vispo.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Murat Nemet-Nejat" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 8:04 AM Subject: Re: Joe Keenan's MOMENT 1.1 > Jim, if you ask me, I wouldn't use our video with MOMENT to lure people to > digital poetry.
