Allen helped Lawrence Ferlinghetti do a special issue on Bengali poetry in the City Lights magazine. (as it turned out during our correspondance re The Hungry Poets, Ginsberg's time in India and Aryanil's long truly fascinating, labyrinthine & mesmerizing recounting the inside history of these people, places,events, cross influences & noninfluences, complications etc through the years-- i had this special issue and xeroxed and sent copiesof the poetry & AG's notes to Aryanil--a kind of magical synchronicity of the moment--d-bc) http://jacket2.org/feature/adaptations-bengali-poetry/ A similar but more extensive portfolio of Bengali poetry was released today in Jacket2 (linked above). The work published is largely an English translation of poetry and essays coming from a young group of experimental Bengali writers. Since the dawn of the new millennium, they began writing, quite unconsciously, I think, a newer kind of avant-garde Bengali poetry that is perhaps more multi-epistemological than ever before. As its traits began to gel by the end of the first decade, this group, where I proudly belong, felt a pressing need to identify and formalize their collective poetics. They called it "Paribishhayee Kabitaa" or Circumcontentive Poetry. A Circumcontentive Poetry Movement issue came out in the Kaurab magazine in Jan, 2011. We also run a low-profile blog - http://circumcontentivepoetry.blogspot.com where we print our new work for group discussion. While we welcome this historic publication with great delight, I, on behalf, of this small group of writers, express our deepest gratitude to a few. First to the feature editor Sarah Dowling, for firstly soliciting the work and spending painstaking hours editing the bizarre quasi-scientific poetics of our crazy English tongue, trying to normalize it for her "6-pack Jacket Joes". Sarah, it was a joy to work with you! Secondly, I/we remain profoundly indebted to Jacket2 editor Michael Hennessey for so many reasons that cannot be listed here. The comfort of working with Mike has been unprecedented. This section could not have been done without the direct support of Pat Clifford and the constant encouragement we receive from Charles Bernstein and Al Fileris. Bengalis are generally worse than New Yorkers when it comes to thanking and I am trying so hard to disprove that. Urging you all to read it and share. & yes, slowly please.

My co-readers: Adam Seelig (EVERY DAY IN THE MORNING (SLOW)) Jim Johnstone (PATTERNICITY)! If you're in Toronto on that date, Jim, Adam, and I would love to see you! https://www.facebook.com/events/441526929268901/ CAMILLE MARTIN is the author of Looms (2012), Sonnets (2010), Codes of Public Sleep (2007), and Sesame Kiosk ( 2001). She has performed her poetry in more than thirty cities in Canada, the United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Rob McLennan praises Looms for the "fearlessness that permeates the entire work." Steve Spence for Stride Magazine writes of its "painterly, noir feel, alienated and penumbral, taut yet expansive. Impressive and addictive." And Cort Bledsoe for Bookslut states that "Martin has woven a rich tapestry of poems that are well worth perusing." Martin's Art Bar reading marks the debut of Looms in Toronto. JIM JOHNSTONE is the author of 3 books of poetry, including Patternicity (Nightwood Editions, 2010). His latest chapbook, Epoch, is forthcoming from Frog Hollow Press in 2013.

It invites writers to enroll in its new and building workshop series, one that takes small groups of poets & writers =93on the road=94 to investigate archeologically significant and/or spiritually historical sites while experimenting with the writing process. =93Global hotspots=94 (metaphorica= lly speaking) will provide a base for a collaborative creative experiment. Intellectually based but also inspired by the spiritual history, energies, and aesthetic beauty of each site, the traveling workshop will also allow time for the actual writing (you will work on paper, in journals, on laptops or Ipads). These traveling workshops will also build time in for discussions with the other writers. Visual and new-media artists may also apply for the workshops we are now scheduling. Hybrid artistic collaborations are most encouraged. Writing =93on the road=94 will encourage momentum for writers towards their work -- and insist upon movement within the writing itself. The trips we will do to such sites (France, Egypt, Peru are being scheduled) will inspire those with interests in ancient spirituality and shamanism, the feminine divine and alternative spiritual practices, and the intellectual history of religion and art. Accommodations will be comfortable but not pricey, and are fully included along with ground transport. Laura Hinton, Ph.D., Professor of English at the City College of New York (CUNY), author most recently of the poetry book *Sisyphus My Love* in addition to critical books and essays on feminist theory in literature and art, will lead the first workshop scheduled for *July 11-23, 2013, =93The Sacred Feminine in the South of France: Virgin, Magdalene, and Black Madonnas.=94 *She has 15 years experience traveling and studying this terrain.

I'm honored to be co-hosting it with poet Adeena Karasick. The retreat is part of the (very hip) KlezKanada festival, held in Laurentian Mountains Aug 19-25. The week-long fest is big and very much cross-genre and so in addition to the actual daily writing sessions there will be great opportunities for collaborations with musicians, dancers, theater and visual art folks - who'll all be there alongside us. Canadian Laurentians are gorgeous - mountains, forest, lake are all right there- and there's going to be A LOT of great music all the time. Please spread the word among fellow poets/friends/students etc.! Some scholarships available for folks under 35! Applications are due by *Ma= y 1st* here's the link to application: http://klezkanada.org/scholarships/. Information about the KlezKan retreat is here: http://klezkanada.org/poetry-retreat/ and below's the blurb: Poetry=92s greatest moments have often been measured by its proximity to music. And so, Klezkanada =96 legendary festival of Jewish music and cultu= re =96 is inviting poets world-wide to join the festivities at a week-long writing retreat. Two daily workshop sessions will explore the poetic tradition and anti-tradition across the three millennia of Jewish discourse, with a special focus on the avant-garde and otherwise contemporary work. We=92ll look at ritualistic poetry, mighty Jewish vernaculars, ecstatic tradition of poetry-prophecy; Talmud and its dialectic-all-yelling-at-once heritage; practice of Found Poetry and Uncreative Writing; Kabbalistic language experiments; Jazz/Klezmer inspired poetry =96 and so much more. There will be one-on-one time with the facult= y and encounters with internationally celebrated poets, musicians, artists, and academics. Poets will be encouraged to draw inspiration from the numerous concerts, and to collaborate with musicians, dancers, painters and other participating artists, to attend lectures, Yiddish classes, sing, dance, celebrate. Held in the beautiful mountain settings in the heart of the Canadian Laurentians. Spread the word!! -Jake Marmer =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.

Much of this practice is performative in nature; ether originating from a performance background and using the internet as a new site and/or augmenting aspect of that practice or is a form of practice developed as direct response to the internet and becomes performative to some degree in its spectatorship. It has been well established that the internet is not the first or only example of the use of a networked technology repurposed for creative practice. There is a clear time line that can be traced back through the practice of Roy Ascott and his coining of the term Telematic Art in the 1980's to artist's use of satellite networks, telephone and other telecommunication devices as each were invented. Seen in this respect the internet can be considered as one of many networked technologies that has enabled networked performance. The internet is unique however in that it is not a singular network type that favours a particular form of media, broadcast or spectatorship. Most famously known as the network of networks it enables multiple protocols of which the world wide web's http is just one, is multimedia in nature and encourages intertextual folding and layering of media, is multi-directional not simply a broadcast communication form, de-centralised in ownership and the majority of its technologies are openly accessible. Remote Encounters, a two-day international conference with performance evening, aims to explore the use of networks as a means to enhance or create a wide variety of performance arts. How do networks as a site for performance provide opportunities for us as artists and performers? In particular how can we remotely collaborate, merge geographically separate places and times, reconfigure the space of performance and the relationship between artist and audience?

The fair will once again span two days, Sat. Aug. 3-Sun. Aug. 4, and =20 be held at Brooklyn=92s Unnameable Books (600 Vanderbilt Ave.) in their =20= spacious backyard. The fair will take place during the 7th annual =20 Welcome to Boog City poetry, music, and theater festival. The fair will open on Saturday with performances by authors from each =20= of the tabling presses. Tables are $30 for the fair, $20 dollars if you bring your own bridge =20= table (up to 3=92 x 3=92). All tabling presses will also receive a =20 complimentary online business card size ad (H-2" x W-3.5") in the =20 festival program issue of Boog City. When you email me to reserve your table and schedule your reader =20 here's what I'll need: =97a bio, logo, and url for the press =97a bio, color foto, and url for your press' reader. (Each press will =20= have 10 minutes total for a reader and, perhaps, to talk about their =20 press.) Though most poets (myself included) don't have their own =20 websites, I'm guessing your poet might have work, or perhaps even an =20 interview with them, online. If so, if you can please send one of =20 those urls. Please email all of the information and images to me on or by Fri. May =20= 31, and make payment via paypal to editor@boogcity.com. This year=92s fair will feature readings, musical performances, short =20= political talks, our new BoogWork poetry workshop and reading series, =20= and our annual panel.

Though philosophers traditionally tend to work in ideas, poets go the next step, integrating intellectual considerations with tangible aspects of the ephemeral and the carnal - with matter itself. Poetry allows us to broaden knowledge, bridge schools of thought and access new inroads for processing the world, rooted in our potential to imagine and conceive. Each week we will focus on one major philosophical topic such as Life, Love, War, and Death by crafting poems that approach related issues and by employing the poet's intuitive senses as well as the intellect. We'll employ poetry as permission and a means to not only be moved, but to move the matter of world and words. A medley of poems will stimulate us by Anne Carson, Paul Celan, Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, Wis=C5=82awa Szymbors= ka & many more.

Embroider the earth=E2=80=99s arc of belly rising to fold into mountain. If you lay your head table-side, a stream trickles out, over rocks, into lunar heights. Right here beside you. The sheen of a screen replays distant ringing from a lime green phone, 1950. It is your mother before she became. Then a school girl in college clothing. The floor tiles buckle with sprouting weeds we seeded with sleep. We stood in the room=E2=80=99s disintegration, matter apart=E2=80=94shapeless scenes apiece, looking for form. Mockingbird nests in the paisley fabric our scientists embroider with wormholes, ideas melting with the walls into hair. We are all separate flesh, sleeker atoms to become parallel people. We blend with the desks before us, our writing utensils tuning to forks with fingers, words turning out pupils of stars on the hunt for dark matter. Keyboards and dust sponge like doorknobs. Wood grains in floors become paintings of carpet fibers, dust mites and personal. We part like walls with zippers over eyelids to pass through portals called doors. They smile when we reach with our minds to turn handles, yielding keyboards from the piano next door. No navel in the previous mountain sheds its boney clothes before us. We are as equal as the ghost birds holy forever scarred songs, aloud ahead. =E2=80=94*Boston Review*, April 2013 *Upcoming Workshops* - May: Making Matter Move: Philosophy and Physics in Poetry (Amy King) - June: Oulipo: U + 2 (Stephen Teref) - June: The Psyche of Poetry (Ana Bo=C5=BEi=C4=8Devi=C4=87) - July: Flashing the Border: Poetry and Prose in Cahoots (Melissa Studdard) - August: Apostrophe, Odes, Ekphrasis, Oh, My!

Bruno's book makes a case for studying translations as a method of= reading poetry. I'm mentioning the book here because I think it may be of = interest to list members but may not otherwise enter into conversations wit= hin English-language poetry=96=96since it focuses on the work of Chinese po= et Yang Lian (about whom, incidentally, I've also written in A Common Stran= geness and elsewhere). Between the Lines: Yang Lian's Poetry through Translation Between the Lines: Yang Lian=92s Poetry through Translation is a book conce= rned with variants of the epistemological act: reading, translating, writin= g. It investigates two broad theoretical and methodological questions that = are crucial in cultural, translation and literary studies alike: the issue = of interpretation and representation, and the need for a non-dichotomous ap= proach to the study of literature and literary translation. The author, Cos= ima Bruno, engages with these questions by synthesizing and revising hermen= eutical approaches and by providing new methodological tools for a textual = exegesis of Yang Lian=92s poetry =96 one of the most critically acclaimed c= ontemporary work. The publication of this book thus marks a shift in the st= udy of poetry translation, too often based on evaluative and contrastive an= alysis between two (typically western) language pairs.

By Ana Bo=BEi=E8evi=E6, images by Bianca Stone. Ana Bo=BEi=E8evi=E6 is both a poet's poet and the people's poet. Rise in th= e Fall, her second full-length collection, is a revolutionary book and an *ar= s poetica* for the polis in which she excludes nothing - even nothing. Navigating literary history, gender, sexuality, economics, family, friends and lovers, she is at ease deploying and subverting the universal political statement and the lyric "I". A Croatian =E9migr=E9, Bo=BEi=E8evi=E6 approaches the English language with= a playful objectivity, bouncing back and forth from the conversational to the grand: "This is the whitest shit / I've ever written" she notes in her half-myth "About Nietzsche." Her critique of our time and place is at once empathetic and crude, tender and grotesque. Lucky for us, "beauty [wins] in all its casual terror and pain."

A Bulgarian immigrant, Dimitrov writes as both observer of and fervent participant in an "American youth," as his speakers navigate both the physical and emotional landscapes of desire, intimacy, and longing--whether for a friend, a lover, or a self, "Saint or stranger, = I still recklessly seek you." "Alex Dimitrov's passionate, headlong poems seem to want to carve beneath the surface of gestures, beneath the skin, to the warm and dangerous blood beneath--until sex, and the poem itself, are 'a nerve brightly turning in a closed room of the mind--.'...Begging for It is a fierce and memorable debu= t." --Mark Doty * ** *BOOK - http://www.fourwaybooks.com/2013spring/dimitrov.php* * * *REVIEW - http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-935536-26-0* *~~~~~~~~* *TwERK LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs* ** *TWERK unveils an identity shaped by popular media and history, code switching and cultural inclusivity. The poems, songs, and myths in this long-awaited first book are as rooted in lyric as in innovation, in Black music as in macaronic satire. TWERK evokes paradox, humor, and vulnerability, and it offers myriad avenues fueled by language, idiom, and vernacular. This book asks only that we imagine America as it has always existed, an Americana beyond the English language. * *Tweaking parallel languages, rebooting and putting them to (hard, hard) work, TwERK's non-stop shimmy-shimmy embarks on an anim=E9-iigjag idio-lingual-lectical booty-roll and doesn't come down until the break of dawn. La Reina de Harlem responds to Lorca's Big-Apple-opolis heteroglossia with her own inimitable animations, incantations and ululations, twisting tongues so mellifluously that you don't even realize you've been dancing on Saturn with Sun Ra for hours and still could have begged for more.

Everything else Pandora's box let loose has hung around--boredom, sickness, loneliness--but if hope gets out, it gets away. Moving among Brooklyn, Saginaw, and Atlanta, with a soundtrack looping Otis Redding and Johnny Cash, these poems forgo hipster irony for genuine dismay with consumerism, war, and others of the world's ills. Myers' lines break like hearts.
