VERSeFest 13, Ottawa's annual international poetry festival, starts on 12 March. We need your help to make the festival even better than last year! VERSeFest is Ottawas annual international poetry festival. It is managed by a collective of Ottawa poetry groups called VERSe Ottawa. The festival is going into its third year and has been a great artistic success. Last year's festival brought spoken word poets of the calibre of C.R. Avery and Ursula Rucker, and written word poets such as Philip Levine and Rae Armantrout. We're looking forward to VERSeFest 13, which will feature poets from Australia, Ireland and the Netherlands. The festival promises to be even better than its predecessors. But we need your help. Staging an international poetry festival is a much more expensive operation than keeping it Canadian. Travel costs are very much higher, as you might imagine; even the costs of accommodation and hospitality rise above those for Canadian nationals. We have sought and obtained some funding from several Canadian funding agencies, but it isn't enough to offset costs. We need $5,000 to break even on VERSeFest 13. If we don't manage to raise that amount, we will have to start cancelling international and Canadian poets. We need $2,500 to bring two Irish and three Dutch poets to Ottawa, and we need $1,500 to bring Canadian poets from western Canada. A further $1,000 will go toward accommodations and hospitality for other festival participants. Your contributions will go directly to funding the artists appearances. VERSeFest is run completely by volunteers, so 100% of every donation goes toward making the festival happen. Please give what you can. http://www.indiegogo.com/versefest/x/2291088 You can help even if you cant contribute financially. Please pass the word about our campaign to friends and acquaintances. Make some noise about VERSeFest and Indiegogo. Use the Indiegogo share tools to get the word out.

COLLECTED POEMS, JOSEPH CERAVOLO, (Wesleyan University Press, 2013). The= late Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988) has only posthumously begun receiving his= due as a contemporary Master. One of the many postwar Greats largely resid= ent in one of the nation's two elite coastal literary enclaves--Ceravolo li= ved and wrote in and around New York City for most of his career--Ceravolo,= like many avant-garde geniuses until recently excluded from institution-dr= iven public canonization, has been the beneficiary of the renewed interest = in late twentieth century experimental writing produced by the Program Era,= which interest also explains the historic expansion in independent literar= y publishing over the same time period. (It is worth noting, too, that Cera= volo was one of the nation's early-adopter creative writing students, havin= g studied under the illustrious Kenneth Koch at The New School in the 1950s= , years before even two terminal-degree graduate creative writing programs = dotted the American landscape.) The poet's distinctive style consists of th= e sort of raw ellipticism that children, so better attuned than their elder= s to the associative rangings of the mind, produce naturally and in great v= olume. If there is a precursor to the current tendency, among younger poets= , to produce verse that feels more emotionally exacting than it semanticall= y has any right to be, that is gleefully intuitive rather than bleakly meth= odical, it is Ceravolo.=20 The late Koch once implied that Ceravolo's writing was, in some form or ano= ther, a mystical enterprise, and others have associated it more directly wi= th the Dadaism and Surrealism of the early-twentieth century European avant= -garde. However well-intentioned this praise--and in the vernacular of the = shrewd, simultaneously anti- and pro-canonmaking doublespeak of the America= n avant-garde, any praise that seeks to deduce or manufacture a nexus betwe= en tradition and an individual talent is at least nominally well-intentione= d--it misses the mark. What Ceravolo (a shy family man from New Jersey in h= is personal life) reveals in his work is that the natural processes of the = human mind, channeled reflexively and lovingly through the prism of receive= d language, are glorious and magical in situ--it does not require readers' = imagination or whimsy to make them so. To call a thing mystical is to (ofte= n unfairly) position it as an irreducible and irreplicable eccentricity; it= is no slight to Ceravolo to say that his distinctive writing style does no= t so much denominate a distinctive thinking style as constitute a revelatio= n and celebration of what are already, in fact, universal phenomena.=20 The literary-arts pedagogy of the poet Charles Bernstein, referred to by th= e Philadelphia-dwelling author and educator as "creative wreading" (an amal= gam of "creative writing" and "creative reading") encourages writers and re= aders alike to locate and reside in those elements of a poem that appear qu= ote-unquote "wrong," cause consternation, disrupt expectations, and produce= what Bernstein terms a "non-absorptive" (that is, difficult to parse using= received expectations of/for language) reading experience. The theory behi= nd such readings is not merely that these eddies of strangeness are the mos= t interesting bits in the texts in which they appear, though this is presum= ptively true under the pedagogy, but also that they constitute more authent= ic representations of the false starts and misfires of the brain that in fa= ct plague (or, as you like, bless) each one of us daily. Bernstein's point = is one Ceravolo long ago internalized and exhibited in his body of work. In= deed, while there is much talk today of "voice" and "authenticity" in poetr= y, in fact "voice"--as Collected Poems reveals--is merely an elective const= ruction traceably comprised of semi-discrete principles like grammar, dicti= on, tone, syntax, parataxis, juxtaposition, ethos, logos, and pathos, and a= uthenticity is always to be found in compositional process rather than prod= uct. In other words, we needn't force these things; we merely need attune o= urselves to "hear" our native skill-set and then determine how and why and = where this psychic know-how corresponds to anything operative in the world.= =20 Ceravolo is, in this view, as authentic and vocally distinctive a poet as w= e have, despite the fact that his poems often cannot be read or heard the w= ay everyday speech is heard or processed--and that no one but Ceravolo coul= d know or say whether the poet had expressed his sentiments "authentically"= (that is, in fidelity to the form and nature of their source stimuli withi= n and without the poet himself). Scholars may coo over the prospect of addi= ng Ceravolo's voice to the already robust gallery of personalities associat= ed with the so-called "New York School"; the rest of us will find in the po= etry a sensitivity to instinctive association that is no more particular to= New York City than a French baguette, no more exclusive to the aesthetic s= ensibilities of the New York School poets (who, after all, are far more cre= dibly associated biographically than artistically) than the line or stanza = was to the Romantics. The best American poetry--and Ceravolo contributes substantially to the sto= ck of verse deserving of this honorific--can often be read as an additive e= quation in which only the first and resultant terms are available to the re= ader; the middle terms, the ones added to the first to produce the final re= sult, are usually elided. And it is in these absent terms that we measure t= he literary and historical significance of an individual author. Whatever h= is borrowings from the American, British, and Continental literary traditio= n, Ceravolo stands apart as an American literary icon of nearly unparallele= d achievement. That the American avant-garde was lamenting his "disappeared= " status (as to the "public" canon) not twenty years ago, and that he has n= ow received posthumous publication of his collected works from one of the m= ost august university presses in the nation, is yet another sign, as if any= more were needed, that the antagonistic rhetoric of culturally-entrenched = avant-garde poet-scholars (which heaps equal piles of self-aggrandizing cal= umny on The New Criticism; the philological and historicist English Literat= ure scholarship the New Criticism displaced; the Official Verse Culture eng= endered and sponsored by The New Criticism; the Creative Writing Movement t= he New Criticism abhorred and was vanquished by; and any attempts at a New = Avant-Garde among those never lip-bitingly apprenticed to the Old) was, is,= and will continue to be--its slickly professional claims of victimhood not= withstanding--the most powerful canonizing force in American letters.=20 Ceravolo transcends the canon--both the institutionally-approved and the in= creasingly robust alternative versions--because in his life he occupied the= sort of real social spaces poets inhabit and alter irrevocably, and in his= verse he occupied the sort of real psychic spaces each one of us inhabits = but often finds unaccountably difficult (lacking Ceravolo's genius) to reif= y on the page. Ceravolo's verse is at once classical and fresh, tender and = profound, succinct and expansive, tantalizingly parseable yet divinely inef= fable. It would take a lifetime of expert reading to fully appreciate this = lifetime of superlative writing; with the long-awaited publication of a col= lected Ceravolo, America's contemporary poetry readers now have the opportu= nity to do their part.=20 =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.

It sounds like a specialty magazine to me. Were you angry when you invented the name? Frustrated? It doesn't sound warm or fuzzy, or "efficient" as one-syllable names like "Fence" "Chain" "Grid" or other well-known and highly respected venues sound. Or were you inspired by science fiction, or is the title based in a hidden autobiographical detail, as, for instance, I could theoretically invent a magazine named "Rub My Metal Shoulder," and be entirely accurate, since my shoulder does indeed set off security alarms at airports. (This is a matter of record.) In short--Have you undergone knee replacement and taken this way to hint darkly at the fact? Or is there some other effect you wish to produce by this interesting title?

This year's guest writers are Roxana Robinson (fiction), Chase Twiichlell (Poetry) and Michael Thomas (nonfiction). During this two week workshop participants work with the guest writers and in the mornings work improvisationally in workshops I conduct along with my colleague April Krassner. We work with a variety of constraints -- Oulipean and others. We invent them. The program grants 4 undergraduate credits and is also open to postgraduate students. I'd appreciate it if you spread the word to students and others. This is a genuinely experimental program that focuses on writing, not on career. The McGhee Division is NYU's college for nontraditional students. Please direct interested parties to me: Ruth Danon Clinical Professor of Creative and Expository Writing McGhee Division, New York University rd2@nyu.edu I'd be most grateful.

Couldn't forward the pix, but maybe you could, Stephen. My name is Jesse Jessie, the words that form the 'title' of the journal I proposed were the first things that came to mind on viewing the attached photograph. Altho I, too, have loads of metal in my hip and ankle, this was so secondary to that instant that I didn't even think of 'that' until maybe an hour later. In a way, it is a re-working of the more ordinal 'kiss my ass,' which the look on the robot's face seems to be suggesting, and the robot's 'encouraging' hand on the back of the workman's head seems also suggestively erotic, as if, instead of 'kiss my ass' the alternate could easily be 'suck my cock,' and, given that it is the almost 'robotic,' non-empathetic stasis of things novel that are suggesting this, I thought also, as to the novelty of the poem, that things 'natural' might usefully be suggested, sexually, in particular, by way of contrasting the poem's 'novel' (metallic) demands with 'natural' urges (kissing, say, knees, or actually 'getting down on one's knees') that are always resistent to yet ever-concupiscent in the dialectic. And of course, there are also 'alchemical' overtones. I was actually attempting to point toward work that was 'dialogical' rather than a gathering of pseudo-factual historicity. I hope this answers sufficeintly your query, and my best to you.

I'm quite aware of My Life had Stood--A Loaded Gun by Emily Dickinson, and the Currier and Ives shooting contest in Song of Myself, but more titles, and more contemporary manifestations in poetry, and especially linguistically innovative poetry would be of interest.

Similar catch phrases--"more and more," "slowly developing," etc., can be found in both texts, and may very well be a product of a battle of egos between Gurdjieff, a self-styled (charlatan) genius, and Stein, a self-styled (genuine) genius--both of whom were connected via "The Rope"--a group of wealthy writers who were Stein's friends, and also followers of Gurdjieff--a gentleman not particularly liked by Stein. The Making of Americans was surely known to Gurdjieff via The Rope, well before it was published in the Contact edition of 1926, and was probably the inspiration behind the writing of Beezlebub's Tales--said to have taken place during Gurdjieff's recovery from a car accident in 1925 and given oral readings in the years following by his students. No doubt oral readings of The Making of Americans were also taking place among Stein's own friends and followers, so we can almost see the shadows of a competition that may have escaped the biographers of Stein and Gurdjieff up to the present moment, with Stein merely telling of the making of Americans, while Gurdjieff laid bare the arcane mechanisms of earthlings told from the repetitive, and sometimes nostalgic (!) point of view of Aliens speeding on a space ship. When can almost hear Gurdjieff's "Ha, take that Gertrude Stein," or the esoteric equivalent of it, whatever that may be, when we lay both books on the desk before us and position them side by side.

"I am the inventor of Found Art. This was a tremendous development for me. I was born without anything and therefore had no money for an artist's tools such as easels, paints, brushes, etc. So, at the age of four, I invented Found Art. I would go to the Post Office wastebasket and go through it, pulling out things that in some way would interest me. I'd find printed words, word gems, and combinations of words that were poems in themselves. With a found poem, I would go through the wastebasket, take scissors and glue and put it together.

Martin has proven herself to be a solid poet with an ear for language and an inquisitive mind, delving into the big questions we all face. In this collection, Martin has woven a rich tapestry of poems that are well worth perusing. =97Cort Bledsoe for Bookslut There is such an expansiveness to Martin=92s Looms. The poems exist in that magical place where words, images and ideas collide, creating connections that previously had never been. =97rob mclennan [Looms] has a very painterly, noir feel, alienated and penumbral, taut yet expansive.

He is a chronicler of lost and discarded sacred things, people, places=97Tempe Velodrome, the Manzil Room, the Wet Taxis playing at the Britannia Hotel. The writing frequently builds a pathos that often leads to grieving, grieving for lost youth and ruined possibilities. The paradox is that the romantic desire for the ideal can be realized in dreaming. Edmond is so authentic you can believe every anecdote he tells, partly because he puts himself and the reader at the scene of real crimes and with novelist=92s skills re-enacts their immediate horror. Meticulous research underpins the mythic dreaming and the constant resurgence (via mechanisms of memory, portents-reading, and hallucination) of the uncanny, seeping, if you like, out to the detritus of past time. The intertextual transcends the dull mechanics of postmodern technique, emerging epically as the Koran, the Tora, Aztec lore and old Testament parable populated with hithertouncelebrated gypsies, thieves, dream-chasing hippies, and murderers. The book rolls with humanity, a secularized laughter and magic. Not theological at all, but as powerful as re-incarnation and pagan idol worship; such profound depth to even the most innocuous recollections. Perhaps it is Edmond=92s expat origins, a New Zealander who has made Sydney crueler, kinder, more exotic and more magical than it ever could be on its own: *. . . in those moments some ineffable translation happens, some occult adjustment of soul, some realignment of possibilities, after which he is profoundly changed. And all else too. It is as the book says=97the redeemed world will be the same but not as this is. It=92s theology without god. It= =92s nothing. Everything.* =97*Adam Aitken* Martin Edmond=92s bohemian travels documented within these prose pieces are eternities made manifest in run-down flats, movie sets and, along with other jobs, toiling on the night shift at the post office among fellow poets, painters, musicians and other variously assembled creatures of the night. Here is a writer with abundant gifts. With a novelist=92s eye for detail and a poet=92s perfect pitch Martin Edmond lives the life of the writer who takes ecstatic possession of every living moment. Within these pages the writer asks, =91can music banish a curse?=92 You bet it can. =97*= Richard Lopez* =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.

Douglass St Music Collective, 295 Douglass St, Brooklyn , February 9, 2012, 8pm, numerous musicians influenced or inspired by Joe Maneri or who worked with him throughout the years will gather together in an intimate setting to celebrate, through music, words and stories, the life of the late composer, improviser, educator, saxophone and clarinet player, Joe Maneri who passed away in August, 2009. Open to all, bring your instrument or your voice, a story, a poem or just your ears and some appreciation for Joe. Joe Maneri was little known to many mainstream music lovers but to those fortunate enough to play music with him, to see him perform live or lucky enough to have heard some of his recorded music, he has been named a godfather of the improvisational jazz scene who is sorely and sorrowfully missed. Sonja Holzwarth Maneri, wife of the late composer, improviser, educator, saxophone and clarinet player, Joe Maneri, has penned a moving, heartfelt memoir about her life with Joe. Love Notes and Love Lines, My life with Joe Maneri, is a touching and honest account of their lives together and provides insight and a deep understanding of their relationship, spiritual journey and is a moving statement of love, patience and friendship in its purest form. Love Notes and Love Lines, My Life With Joe Maneri by Sonja Holzwarth Maneri, can be ordered from Harvard book Store.

Maybe William Everson did, since he was such a fan of Jeffers-like narratives, and a producer of the same. Once again, Rexroth--if you want to count him as a Beat probably did encounter him, as he encountered Ina Coolbrith Clark Ashton Smith and the other first gen San. Fran. writers this side of Jack London and George Sterling, but by god I don't recall any written Rexroth memories of an actual Jeffers visit. Jeffers was still alive and kicking--though he wasn't writing much by the time the Beats really got going, and I wonder how much he would have had in common with what they were up to anyway. He strikes me as someone who didn't get into fast cars, drinking all night, and all of that stuff. Jeffers didn't have much to do with Williams either come to think about it, and Williams was key to the Beats. Interesting question. Now what the critics have said about influences, maybe Snyder and Welch with their version of ecopoetics, etc. Maybe.

When I edited John Gardner's fiction/poetry journal MSS. in the mid-to-late 80s, four or five years after he had crashed his motorcycle in Pennsylvania and died, subscriptions fell from 2,000 to 167, a fact I knew, since I automated the subscriber list and sent reminders and shipped issues and coordinated printing and screened submissions. Gardner's widow (not precisely a widow, since he had been divorced for a week) kept the number of subscribers at 2,000 in her listings.

I'm quite aware of My Life had Stood--A Loaded Gun by Emily Dickinson, and the Currier and Ives shooting contest in Song of Myself, but more titles, and more contemporary manifestations in poetry, and especially linguistically innovative poetry would be of interest.

Stephen Vincent: Artist, Poet and Maker of Books It includes a good visual survey of my Haptic artwork, including accordion fold books and drawings. Of specific interest here may be a selection of 10 works I made while listening to poets reading from their work, primarily in the Bay Area (tho it is a national cast - Frank Sherlock, CA Conrad, Fanny Howe, Beverly Dahlen among others). I have made over 50 of these over the last several years. Yes, I admit it, readings have been an addiction! Also is a bibliography of my poetry books, including hot links to ebooks at faux and Shearsman. And a link to my dormant blog archive, which I am threatening to wake up with new entries. (Back to the blogs, rumor is that Facebook is about to bomb from user fatigue). If you are - for many are far flung chance - in the Bay Area this weekend, I will have a table (#48) at Codex, the international book fair for artist and hand crafted books. It will be in Richmond on the Marina. They have a web site: http://www.codexfoundation. org/2013/2013.html Which - the international part - does remind me that I will be a presenter this June in Glasgow at the Ekphrasis Conference I will appreciate your interest and feedback. To build a good website, I discovered, is no small thing. Stephen V ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Thanks, Lisa Jarnot In the autumn I ran a workshop with the theme "poet's notebooks" and it went really well. I'm running part 2 of the class on mondays 6-8:30 from Feb 25 to April 29 at my apartment in Jackson Heights, Queens. I have 4 students enrolled and am looking for 3 more. Cost is $300 for new students, $275 for returning students. I want to run the class as a theater performance of sorts. There will be five topics that we'll focus on in notebook writing: Architecture Food State dept (current international affairs) Language Meteorology And we will spend two weeks on each topic. The goal is to write obsessively in the notebook about the topic in an "as if" mode. (during these two weeks I AM an architect or I AM fluent in Japanese, or I AM a state dept official.) I'm thinking of the workshop meetings as a kind of salon, where we come in, have a glass of wine, (or tea), and talk about our discoveries, read from our notebooks, and spin off into in-class writing exercises inspired by the information we've gathered. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Tim Hunt edited the five-volume Collected Poetry (Jeffers) and is = certainly one of the pre-eminant Jeffers scholars living.

I am hesitant to put people's = e-mail addresses out on list-servs, but if you wish to back-channel me, = I can connect you with Bob. He is another good friend and I'm sure he = would be glad to share what he knows. The Robinson Jeffers Association web-site has all the back issues of the = RJ Newsletter on-line, as well as many volumes of Jeffers Studies: = http://www.robinsonjeffersassociation.org/ The RJA also maintains a list-serv and I am certain if you posed your = query to that list-serv you would get a ton of feedback, ideas, and = directions: As I'm sure you know, the beats were far more interested in Jeffers than = he was of them. Of course they hardly overlapped, RJ dying in 1962. = But the Beat Museum in San Francisco, for example, displays a bust of = Jeffers, good indication that he was meaningful to them. I am certain = there is some scholarship on RJ and the beats out there; the connection = is not tenuous.

(She gave a rather grandstanding bit in regards to all this @ the 3 hour multi-speaker Jay Defeo event the other Sat @ SFMoma.) There's also Kevin Killian's bit: http://www.sfbg.com/2012/10/16/sf-stories-kevin-killian Kind of beating her to the punch at least for local readers. However, as I ribbed Kevin a little, his claim: "we counted and realized that only three poets under the age of forty remain in San Francisco." is rather silly. I personally know at least 6 closely--- no matter how you wanna break down what makes a "poet" a poet. & i checked with Kevin and he was only counting one of mine, I think. and he didn't really know where the others lived. But everybody else lives in the East Bay it's true, , have lost at least 3 or more "young poets" in the last couple years and nearly just lost another, but luckily he's now just living closer to me, and that's where all the hip house readings are for the most part. I stay in the city myself. As for the Giants--- the new park is really very nice. I'd much prefer they start to lose tho and tickets become cheaper and more available and eventually the whole stadium just becomes a public park of some kind. Open all the time.

Volume three should be out within a = year. James Karman has done a masterful job with the letters, and we = now have a much clearer idea of what daily life was like for the Jeffers = family. Again, Jeffers was not a person who sought out the literary lime-light, = but I do believe that the Beats were quite fond of him. As for the zero = mentions of other poets in the Selected, that is likely an omission by = Ridgeway as to her own notions of "selection." Jeffers is often = mistaken as an Emily Dickinson type, but in fact he had a wide circle of = friends and a constant stream of visitors to Tor House. The Tor House = website says: "Many influential literary and cultural celebrities were = guests of the Jeffers family. Among them were Sinclair Lewis, Edna St. = Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes, Charles Lindbergh, George Gershwin and = Charlie Chaplin. Later visitors have included William Everson, Robert = Bly, Czeslow Milosz and Edward Abbey." Additionally, James Karman's biography of RJ provides an exhaustive list = of visitors that is virtually a who's-who of mid-twentieth century = writers, artists, and celebrities! I am well aware that none of those listed above are Beats; as I said, = they were more interested in him than he in they, especially given that = he was quite at the end of his life when they arrived on the scene. But = I just wanted to clarify that the Selected Letters is not a very = good--i.e., informative--source, that the Collected Letters is = authoritative, and that Jeffers did interact with a great many of the = writers, artists, actors, and celebrities of his day.

There have been many important people who have helped create, shape and support this artform that we love and the community that has built up around it. It is with this in mind that VERSeOttawa has decided to create the VERSeOttawa Hall of Honour. It is our way of recognizing the important contributions made to the Ottawa poetry community, whether through poetry itself or other methods of support (or, as is often the case, both). Each year a nomination committee will choose two worthy inductees whose work will be honoured that year, and into the future. An induction ceremony will be conducted as part of VERSeFest. This year that will take place on March 17th. The nomination committee this year has chosen two people to be the first inducted in to the VERSeFest Hall of Honour. We are proud to recognize William Hawkins and Greg Ritallin Frankson **************** As a poet, William Hawkins was nationally-known and regarded as Ottawas best and certainly most dangerous poet from 1964 to 1974. He published a number of books, including the infamous Ottawa Poems, published by Nelson Balls weed/flower. Hawkins appeared in the anthology New Wave Canada, edited by Raymond Souster as the last publication by Contact Press. As an organizer/host, Hawkins ran Ottawas infamous coffeehouse Le Hibou through the 1960s with his wife. He hosted performances by Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and dozens, if not hundreds of others. He was an advocate, writer and large presence during a period of Ottawa poetry that had very few of any of those; he was also a writer actively reading, writing and publishing, and connecting to a community far wider than that of the immediate city. You can read more about him at his website, here: http://www.wmhawkins.com/content/poetry.html ************************ Greg Frankson debuted as Ritallin in Ottawa in 2003. In 2004 he represented Ottawa at the Wordlympics (now known as the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word), and did so again in 2006. In addition to being a full-time professional artist, Greg recently was on the team that won the 2012 Canadian Slam Championships (though now representing Toronto). Immediately following the Wordlympics in 2004, Greg co-founded Capital Slam, now one of the longest running monthly slam series in the country. He ran Capital Slam and the Capital Poetry Collective for 2 years where he created the template for a stable, supportive, inspiring slam series. He also founded the Bill Brown 1-2-3 series. Before moving to Toronto, Greg co-founded the Ottawa Youth Poetry Slam. Creating this environment for young poets to come and share their work was a crucial step in the evolution of the spoken word poetry scene in Ottawa. The poets coming out of the slam have received great accolades, but even more important is the fact that it is a place where all youth can have a voice and share their art. So while Gregs work was crucial to help create the current Ottawa spoken word scene, through the Youth Slam his work is just as crucial to the future of the scene as well.

It is, indeed, a monumental book. In my opinion, it restores the dignity and elegance of mathematics to continental philosophy. Although =93Being And Event=94 is a challenging read, the rewards of the book greatly outweigh the difficulties encountered. And as far as philosophy is concerned, this book presents a fresh approach to ontology, one which goes considerably beyond the limitations of the Heideggerian edifice. Based largely on the achievements of set theory, =93Being And Event=94 argues for an open ontology, one wherein truth can rupture seemingly static conceptual and social situations ... thus bringing about changes of universal significance. But nevertheless, what has drawn me most inescapably to =93Being And Event=94 is that Badiou has included in the very interstices of the book chapters on poets, from Parmenides to Mallarm=E9 and beyond, their poetries, and perceptive anyalyses of poetic works, and ALL combined in the very processes of mathematics and philosophy. The poetry chapters are not mere fluff, as with most mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, but are integrated within the very structure and the fundamental arguments of the book. Badiou, like Herodotus, seems to remember a time when poetry had not yet divided itself out from mathematics. Indeed, if there is a philosopher/mathematician for poets today, and a philosopher poet for the day, surely it would be Alain Badiou.

At least, the rumors about she and sister Vinnie ran to that effect--that though they did not marry, they were frolicsome in company--perhaps a tad on the wild side for their time and place. Though these words may sound somewhat flip, they're well documented in Sewell. And of course, the poetry attests, that though ED was one who could pray well (in the proper Kierkegaardean sense with the eye of intellect trained on the eye of faith, maugre the bridge of the nose) she could play well too. Amen to that.

I remember the sense of grace and dignity she carried about with her, and a kind of silence that surrounded her poems when she read them--not the silence of steel as in a bell encompassing a clapper--shrill and cutting to the ear, but a warm silence--and--if you will--a welcoming silence. I would also like to point out that as I scanned the list of "world-class poets," picked to celebrate the work of Lucille Clifton, I thought of the American sports teams that award themselves "world championships" without leaving American soil. Let's change that "thirteen world-class poets" to "thirteen American-class poets." Isn't that enough?

Students in journalism and communication degrees at UTS (University of Technology, Sydney) are expected to undertake unpaid internships as a part of their degrees, if they have any hope of getting a job. What worries me even more is that teaching staff actively support the idea of unpaid labour from under grad students, in the hope that they may gey a job... sounds like blackmail to me. And shame on the communication degree at UTS.

To follow this up a little more: The degree in Communication at the University of Technology, Sydney, has been considered one of the few leading art degrees, internationally. Now that teaching staff at UTS have come out in active support of unpaid internships, which is another word for slave labour, it should follow that this degree should be treated with the utmost suspicion and graduates from this degree, should they apply for a position, be treated as low on the want to hire rank, unless you were after a position which supports slave labour. (This affects me since I now lose status and advantage that such an elite degree should offer. Basically, I lose money.) I mean, who would seriously consider employing someone from an institution that advocates slavery? Why pay the bucks when you can get it for free. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I imagine at a certain point you must pass out. But before that think this is the worst case. Everyone keeps telling me to see a therapist. They just don't want to talk. There are so many ways you could burn. Most likely in a car wreck. That's why I feel it most when driving, and then I need to breath, calm down, think of peaceful things like noodles. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Having been tagged by my friend, partner, & esteemed fellow-poet Marc Vince= nz, it's my day to play the poetry-interview-pyramid game, "The Next Big Th= ing!" Today's book is "How to Be Another," coming out soon from =C8erven=E1= Barva Press. And don't miss next week's interviews on MadHat Lit from the = legendary Terese Svoboda, Norma Cole, Sheila Murphy and Gloria Mindock. (ww= w.madhatlit.com). What is the working title of the book? "How to Be Another." Where did the idea come from for the book? I was experimenting with a range of variations on the prose poem, from more= -or-less abstract, aporetic verbal collages, to meditations, to parables an= d tales, when I realized they had a certain thematic through-line, namely, = empathy - its necessity as well as its ultimate unattainability. Hence the = title, "How to Be Another." What's more, I realized my dissimilar approache= s could be understood as different ways to elucidate, illustrate, or convey= that thematic through-line. So I divided the collection into four sections= : "i.e.," "e.g.," "Rx," and "vis." What genre does your book fall under? Prose poetry. What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie= rendition? Most of the parts are for CGI-animated impossibilities. But there are also = ordinary humans in these tales! Chandler Riggs (who plays Carl in The Walki= ng Dead) would be great for "The Kiss." Elisabeth Moss (who plays Peggy in = Mad Men) would be amazing in a number of these pieces. "Half-Life" requires= a wolf-like white dog, very much like my Samoyed, Loki - although I rather= doubt he has any real interest in acting! What is the one sentence synopsis of your book? "Between anything & the real thing, jaws snap." How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript? Three or four years, give or take a few. Who or what inspired you to write this book? Borges, Cortazar, Rimbaud, Mallarme, Russell Edson, Wittgenstein, to name a= few. Discovering the breadth of potential for the short prose form mined b= y these great writers felt like a homecoming for one impulse of my writing = self. What else about your book might pique the reader's interest? Among its cabinet of oddities are boys who "flap their wings and pray for r= ain," a rebellious moon, intransigent scallops, a dog who can deep sea dive= , "clouds which act like railroads, taking anything anywhere," a recriminat= ory moth, and a man whose life is an art exhibit. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? It will be published by =C8erven=E1 Barva Press later this year. My tagged writers for next Wednesday are: Terese Svoboda, "Dogs Are Not Cats" (MadHat Press, 2013) Norma Cole, "Distraction" Sheila Murphy, "American Ghazals" Gloria Mindock, "Screaming for Paul" =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.

I'm currently in the process of writing a thesis concerning the shifting practices of creation and consumption in poetry that come with the digital media. As a part of my research, I'm conducting a survey to get some concrete data about the way that contemporary poets are using media to create, publish, and read poetry. You can access the survey here: https://delaware.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_4Mjj1q6xudIWRwx If you are a poet yourself, or have access to a community of poets with which you could share this survey, your help would be greatly appreciated. It only takes a few minutes, but you will be making a contribution to our understanding of how shifts in media affect the world of poetry! Best, Ben -- J.

At least, the rumors about she and sister Vinnie ran to that effect--that though they did not marry, they were frolicsome in company--perhaps a tad on the wild side for their time and place. Though these words may sound somewhat flip, they're well documented in Sewell. And of course, the poetry attests, that though ED was one who could pray well (in the proper Kierkegaardean sense with the eye of intellect trained on the eye of faith, maugre the bridge of the nose) she could play well too. Amen to that.

It hasn't been too terribly hot. The birds, as always, are good--watched a nice little grebe wading through mossy water then suddenly dipping its head for a treat. I had a good time holding forth about poetry and the perverse to students at Rollins College where the presiding muse is Carol Frost. It may be that some of us will go to see Scott Momaday--a poet I've long admired who lives here abouts. Needless to say if any Orlando poets would like to see this devil in the flesh I'm good for a coffee. Back-channel is perfectly fine.
