I wrote as a publisher. I can't publish if I don't sell books, and libraries are important customers. So I expect to be paid. As an author I find the idea that I should be honored if someone accepts a freebie a bit strange. I do realize that in the world as it is poetry is a hard sell, and I make sure that poets I admire get copies of my books. But I don't write as a hobby. I also don't write for my books to be preserved as if mummified. Try asking a baker how honored he is if you eat his bread without paying. Cathleen, I appreciate your frustration. Library budgets aren't what they used to be. When I started out a small publisher could count on 500 library sales--it's what kept presses going. It's really a question of who pays for the changes we've all faced. Doug, for the life of me I don't understand your anger. I wasn't trying to legislate anybody else's behavior, but apparently I struck a nerve. What nerve that was is mysterious to me. -----Original Message----- >From: cathleenmiller >Sent: Jul 29, 2012 7:16 PM >To: POETICS@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU >Subject: Re: SMALL PRESS COLLECTION AT ENDICOTT COLLEGE > >I second Doug's message. >As a special collections curator at a small college, I receive many >donations of publications. >Most authors are incredibly honored to have their work included in a >special collection, and few >expect to be paid for their books.

This is the same site where Christine McNair and I first premiered our work-in-progress collaborative work (which has yet to figure out a title), a work that recently produced a small fragment as an above/ground press chapbook. Given that TRUCK originates in the tri-state area, I wanted to find a wide array of Canadian writers to introduce to American audiences, to further previous sections I've edited on and by Canadians such as the three features I edited for Jacket ("Some Canadian poets," "George Bowering at 70" and "Douglas Barbour at 70"), or dusie 10: the Canadian issue. http://robmclennan.blogspot.ca/2012/08/rob-curates-truck-during-month-of-august.html Be sure to check the site every morning to see just who might be featured, each with a poem, a bio and an attractive photo. The first poet is Nikki Reimer, recently returned to Calgary from Vancouver. halvard-johnson.blogspot.com/2012/08/southern-alberta-poems-by-nikki-reimer.html Watch for new work over the coming days by Jake Kennedy and kevin mcpherson eckhoff, Camille Martin, Stan Rogal, Kathryn MacLeod, Natalee Caple, Gil McElroy, Monty Reid, Daphne Marlatt, Nathan Dueck, Amanda Earl, Sandra Ridley, Marilyn Irwin, Cameron Anstee and plenty of others.

If he/she refused that would be sad. I do initial runs of 300 (digital printing, yay!), of which 100 are hors commerce--author copies (10 percent of every run), review copies, friends of the press. I'm plenty generous. I also periodically have sales at ridiculous discounts. But the schnorers come out anyway--the "reviewers" who don't review, the libraries who think they're doing me a favor, the poets or publishers I have no interest in who want to trade books. I have my limits. You have yours too, but they're different from mine. That's ok with me.

This is going to just a few people, mostly alums, who will have nothing to lose by posting this info. Some of the students have started a petition and I would really appreciate if you could post a link on facebook. Some of you don't even know what I'm taking about; see below for that: Here is the petition: http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/president-of-the-university-of-new-or= leans-louisiana-maintain-bill-lavender-as-the-director-of-uno-s-low-residen= cy-mfa Also, here is the FB page devoted to the issue: http://www.facebook.com/SaveTheUnoLowResProgram And for those of you who haven't heard, the story: Below is an email I received from my Dean while I was in Edinburgh this summer. I then heard from my GA that they have changed the locks on my office. I'll leave it to you to judge the fairness of this action after my 15 years at UNO during which I created and developed one of the most unique and successful low res programs in the country. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Susan E Krantz Date: Fri, Jul 27, 2012 at 7:39 PM Subject: FW: low res committees in the Fall To: Bill Lavender Cc: Peter A Schock , Fredrick P Barton Dear Bill=97The news I have for you is not good, and I apologize for relayi= ng it through e-mail, rather than face-to-face. But I completely understand your wish to know the disposition of your employment as soon as possible. Your position will be eliminated. We have put the Press on hiatus and are relocating the CWW Low-Res to an existing faculty member. I would very much like you to work through the month of August, so that we can make the transition as smooth as possible. By working through August, you will also complete 15 years of employment at UNO. I encourage you toseek advice from HR as soon as you return from your trip to understand what benefits you are entitled to. I am very sorry to bring you this news; although it does not make the news any easier to swallow, I want to assure you that you are not alone.

I would like to share an article that appeared on the Times Picayune this morning: The entire saddest story: Visionary director of UNO Press sacked amid budget cuts at the University of New Orleans Chris Waddington Posted: 08/03/2012 6:49 PM The director of UNO Press, the University of New Orleans=92 ambitious, nationally regarded book publishing venture, will lose his job in the current round of state-mandated budget cuts for public universities in Louisiana. Professor Bill Lavender, who also led UNO=92s Low Residency MFA and Creativ= e Writing Program, confirmed on Friday that his position at the press has been eliminated. Lavender was the sole employee of the press, which he operated with a staff of four graduate assistants. News of his departure spread on the internet Thursday as authors and students began a petition drive in support of the ousted writer. Lavender also lost his position with the university=92s writing program for MFA students who did much of their work online and met with faculty during brief, intensive residencies. UNO spokesman Adam Norris declined to comment on changes at the press and in the MFA program, noting that the school is still formulating its budget plans and expects to make formal announcements about cuts in the coming week. The fate of the publishing venture remains unclear, Lavender said =93I=92ve been asked to tell our authors that UNO is evaluating the press t= o determine what course of action the school will take with it in the future,=94 Lavender said Lavender transformed the publishing operation during his tenure. When he took the reins in 2007, it had two out-of-print books in its inventory, both by UNO faculty. Currently the press has about 80 titles in print. It specializes in works in translation, including fiction and poetry by some international figures who first appeared in English through UNO=92s program= . Lavender also forged an alliance with the popular Neighborhood Story Project, published two oral histories about Hurricane Katrina, and championed books like =93New Orleans: The Underground Guide,=94 a quirky eccentric guide for tourists that sold especially well at local festivals. Lavender attracted big names to the press, including the widely published New Orleans fiction writer Moira Crone. Crone, who won a prestigious Robert Penn Warren Award for Fiction, turned to UNO Press to publish her 2012 novel, =93The Not Yet.=94 =93As an author, I was delighted to work with a publisher that would take a chance on a book that was way outside my usual kind of writing,=94 Crone said. =93Bill encourages innovation in writers.=94 Crone also praised the innovative business model that Lavender created at UNO Press. =93I have never encountered a publisher =97 in New York or at other universities =97 that was so agile, so savvy and responsive about publicity= , and so smart about using new technology and short print runs to keep costs down,=94 Crone said. =93This wasn=92t a place with tons of books sitting ar= ound in boxes. They know how to get books into the hands of readers. The press is a feather in the cap for New Orleans: a literary addition to the international profile we already have as a port, a music center and a culinary hub.=94 =95=95=95=95=95=95=95 Chris Waddington can be reached at cwaddington@timespicayune.com or 504.826.3448 .

Tune into free103point9 Online Radio and WGXC 90.7-FM for a special radio iteration of George Quasha 's expansive /art is/Speaking Portraits/ project. This program will feature "radio portraits" in-process and broadcast live from the free103point9 Wave Farm Study Center and WGXC's Acra studio. "*art is* ... what?" Quasha's ongoing video work of "speaking portraits" puts this impossible, but inevitable, question before artists themselves, who let us in on their private space of art definition. Since 2002, he has filmed around 1000 artists of all kinds (including sculptors, painters, filmmakers, video artists, poets, composers, performance artists, dancers, potters, etc.) in 11 countries (and 24 languages!). The result is an ongoing and constantly changing work called art is/music is/poetry is, which has been internationally exhibited in museums and galleries, primarily as installations, screened either as projections or on one or more monitors. You can see multiple volumes online at quasha.com/art-is. Now, for the first time, /art is/ will be created live and unedited for radio, where Quasha interacts with Hudson Valley artists of various kinds as he asks them to say what, in their view, art or music or poetry actually is. In his own view there is no "right" answer, but only the ideas artists themselves work from, either implicitly or explicitly. Many artist say that they don't know what art is, but in the process of discussing it they discover that, often to their own surprise, they know very well what it is. What if art is different for every person? In a culture that tries to define things in the abstract, this could spur us to think very differently about art and how it works in our lives and in society at large. In art is the question comes alive in the moment as if asked for the first time. -- George Quasha 124 Station Hill Road Barrytown, NY 12507 845-758-5291 (home) 914-474-5610 (cell) www.quasha.com www.baumgartnergallery.net www.stationhill.org ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

The Times-Picayune Archive Bill Lavender, the New Orleans editor who led the UNO Press to national prominence, has lost his job amid state-mandated budget cuts at the University of New Orleans. Professor Bill Lavender, who also led UNO=92s Low Residency MFA and Creativ= e Writing Program, confirmed on Friday that his position at the press has been eliminated. Lavender was the sole employee of the press, which he operated with a staff of four graduate assistants. News of his departure spread on the internet Thursday as authors and students began a petition drive in support of the ousted writer. Lavender also lost his position with the university=92s writing program for MFA students who did much of their work online and met with faculty during brief, intensive residencies. UNO spokesman Adam Norris declined to comment on changes at the press and in the MFA program, noting that the school is still formulating its budget plans and expects to make formal announcements about cuts in the coming week. The fate of the publishing venture remains unclear, Lavender said =93I=92ve been asked to tell our authors that UNO is evaluating the press t= o determine what course of action the school will take with it in the future,=94 Lavender said Lavender transformed the publishing operation during his tenure. When he took the reins in 2007, it had two out-of-print books in its inventory, both by UNO faculty. Currently the press has about 80 titles in print. It specializes in works in translation, including fiction and poetry by some international figures who first appeared in English through UNO=92s program= . Lavender also forged an alliance with the popular Neighborhood Story Project, published two oral histories about Hurricane Katrina, and championed books like =93New Orleans: The Underground Guide,=94 a quirky eccentric guide for tourists that sold especially well at local festivals. Lavender attracted big names to the press, including the widely published New Orleans fiction writer Moira Crone. Crone, who won a prestigious Robert Penn Warren Award for Fiction, turned to UNO Press to publish her 2012 novel, =93The Not Yet.=94 =93As an author, I was delighted to work with a publisher that would take a chance on a book that was way outside my usual kind of writing,=94 Crone said. =93Bill encourages innovation in writers.=94 Crone also praised the innovative business model that Lavender created at UNO Press. =93I have never encountered a publisher =97 in New York or at other universities =97 that was so agile, so savvy and responsive about publicity= , and so smart about using new technology and short print runs to keep costs down,=94 Crone said. =93This wasn=92t a place with tons of books sitting ar= ound in boxes. They know how to get books into the hands of readers. The press is a feather in the cap for New Orleans: a literary addition to the international profile we already have as a port, a music center and a culinary hub.=94 =95=95=95=95=95=95=95 Chris Waddington can be reached at cwaddington@timespicayune.com or 504.826.3448 .

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, While doing some archival research recently, I came across correspondence relating to an LP anthology of poets reading their work, that was being planned by Carl Larsen's 7 Poets Press (sometimes written "Seven Poets Press") around August 1961. I am wondering if the project was ever seen through to publication. Does anybody know?

A celebration of the visual art of Basil King, now in his 77th year, the pr= ogram includes conversations on King's art (illustrated with slides) by no= ted critics and poets, original music inspired by his images and his texts = and will culminate in the debut screening of Basil King: Mirage, a film por= trait created by Nicole Peyrafitte and Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, commissioned= by the Friends of Basil King. What does it mean when a small group of poets join together to create such = an event? While a growing circle of readers recognize and cherish King's i= nventive literary output, exhibitions of his visual art have been confined = to "literary" venues-Poets House, the Poetry Project, the Bowery Poetry Clu= b, the old Gotham Bookmart. The Friends - Mitch Highfill, Vincent Katz, Burt Kimmelman, Martha King, an= d Kimberly Lyons-are determined to introduce his visual art to a wider audi= ence. King's syncretic aesthetics have been shaped by his early childhood in WWII= London, friendship with poets of the San Francisco Renaissance, Abstract E= xpressionist painters and poets in New York, and mentors and friends at Bla= ck Mountain College, including Robert Creeley, Charles Olson, and John Wien= ers. His past 40 years have been spent in studios in Brooklyn where King co= ntinues to live, paint, and write poetry. His most recent writing, compleme= nting his prodigious output of paintings, is the book, Learning to Draw/A H= istory (Skylight Press, 2012) and chapbooks from Cy Gist and fewer & furthe= r Press. He has also continued his history of providing art for small pres= s poetry publications by friends and colleagues. Participants in the program at Anthology include Edna Augusta, William Bent= on, Laurie Duggan, Tom Fink, Paolo Javier, Andrew Levy, Harry Lewis, Tom P= atterson, George Quasha, Barry Schwabsky, and each of the Friends.

I was not planning to send my updated links to Buffalo Poetics Listserv, but since Side seems to feel there might be interest in it, I'll post them. In my view, the most interesting of the posts is "American Candid." The first link below was not and has not been censored on the Internet. The second link is a reply to Jeffrey Side's first diatribe against me at his blog and has not been censored. The third link is a partial transcript of a flaming thread against me started by Jeffrey Side at Otherstream group at Facebook that I read a week after it occurred on August 1, 2012 and determined its genre "live theater." The fourth link is a partly censored item (the original paragraph in English was censored twice; the machine-translated German version and its machine-retranslated English version were not censored), both at Facebook Mad about Mad Hatters' group by Marc Vincenz and due to his diligence at Fictionaut, where Carol Novack had asked me to administer a small group for Mad Hatters' Review in the spirit of cooperation and Marc Vincenz had later delegated to me the same duty. I got Marc his first job at Mad Hatters' Review, co-editor in poetry, in the first week of October 2010, though he never stated his job title that way. He stated on the Internet editor in poetry. Carol Novack who might know that best besides the two of us has died. In her will, she stated that her friend and caregiver, Douglas Querl, may stay at her house, deeded to Mad Hat, a non-profit she formed, as long as he likes and that her cats stay there as well and the house not be sold for 40 years. It was to operate as a writers' retreat, overseen by Douglas or subsequent caretaker, and meeting place for the Mad Hatters' Review staff past and present. The attorney in Asheville who wrote the will that Carol signed, Robert Karriker, later discovered that as a deceased person, Carol cannot decide what becomes of the endowment or properties within the non-profit. The board of four or five (names withheld) wrote Douglas an eviction letter, came to the house and removed the cats and brought them to an undisclosed location (though there was a picture of Clicquot on Facebook being nuzzled by the Asheville bank employee, friends with Karriker, whom Carol met late in life).

Like Hans Arp's compositions of abstract geometric cut-outs or Jackson Pollock's signature drips or Joan Retallack's paperclipped apertures in Afterrimages, the poems here illuminate the extraordinary accident by which the aleatory and precipitous are linked in both Latin and German. The chance [Zufall] disposition of the words across the page in these poems is a singular event [Fall] arising from the coincidences [from the Latin cadere: "to fall"] of falling [fallend] along clinaminatic paths. The poet's gestures, however often repeated, cannot account in advance for variables in atmospheric conditions and the discrepant surface-areas of cut paper. The results, happily, are frequently prophetic, describing their own circumstances with a poetic obliquity. None of which should be surprising for a poet whose name, as it happens, is just a letter drop away from chance.* -- *Craig Dworkin* ** *When I look at Joel Chace's work, I see a series that speaks in tongues that spins out into eternity that hangs from Van Gogh's asylum like a starry night.* *The elements of this series are deceptively simple: cut up words, punctuation, tape, and the background of the page. The beauty of this arrangement is how it all interacts; each word has multiple references, creating a nearly infinite number of combinations. Periods float, looking for sentences to close. The page speaks its essence, a grey haze that resembles dark matter that silently affects the overall mechanism. This quantum field, this gravitational attraction, aids in poem formation, pulling and tugging every word.* *And then there's the tape; this is an aspect of cut up, of visual poetry, of illustrations that each creator attempts to cover up. Joel takes a bold leap here and intentionally incorporates his tape, creating an extra level of fog, words falling, sinking softly into a majestic black hole.* *If you enjoy checking out a visual poetry series, this is the one. Joel brings us all closer to the ultimate source of creativity. Any good visual poet should enlighten any good visual poet; Joel is and does both, and who could ask for more?* -- *Bill DiMichele* Check out *Red Power* on our Issuu page*: ** http://issuu.com/quarterafter/docs/red_power_-_chace* All the Best, Calvin Pennix ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Tom's translation was done 40 years ago during his studies at Bard, and it's pretty groundbreaking, especially compared to what poets have usually done with this poem.

Jonathan Minton www.wordforword.info + + + Jesse DeLong from "The Amateur Scientist’s Notebook: Floret as Bird" What is hunger if I once listened to a floret slurp spilt water into soil, its sex a spore on wind, a single seed left for a bird to eat. With any certainty I could not call you bird. I could not call you anything other than—Like, say, in the shallows of the river we laid crawdad traps until our fingers pruned. From the bank’s oxblood-colored body we uprooted clay, molded wet grains into plates, set them on some stones to harden. Shoes soaked in silt, we swelled, a hunger heavy as a field of florets, feathers dreamed to sprout from skin. A hunger of when one is lost once in another. Anything other than— (Whether we notice the moth at the lamp, or its shadow winged on the wall). We were privy to all manner of underhanded shit. We were a kind of happiness, meaning “momentarily without guilt” or, “not poised to attack.” Or astonishment: the work of becoming another. The stalled animal of the body at rest. Hair collecting in the comb. A single wire, unbending. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.
