Thursday, 11/2
- 5:00 PM: Robert Grenier, hosted by the Creative Writing
Program.
Poet Robert Grenier will present his work at the Writers House, Thursday, November 2, at 5 PM. For over three decades now, Grenier has been a primary force for innovation in American poetry. In 1971, he was co-founder of *This* magazine, where he championed the work of Stein, Zukofsky, Olson, and Creeley, and was a key instigator in the movement that later became known as Language writing. Grenier's work is fascinatingly various. His *Sentences* (1978), a box of 500 poems on 5 x 8 index cards, is one of the simplest and most profound experiments with typography in American poetry. These poems are playful, elegant, minimalist, profoundly suggestive. The fact that they are on loose cards means that there can no permanent sequence of reading them. In some of more recent books, Grenier has persistently investigated the territory of lettrism, scriptive legibility, and field composition; he is a poet, not a painter, but at times he can seem to getting within shouting distance of Cy Twombly. But a persistent fact of Grenier's work is his profound, often comic verbal sensibility, where the literary and the philosophic are indissolubly mixed. A minimalist, America's most Heideggerian poet, a wry comic, the liveliest concrete poet around, Grenier is not to be missed. His books include: *Dusk Road Games* (1967); *Series* (1978); *Sentences* (1978); *Oakland* (1980); *A Day At The Beach* (1985); *Phantom Anthems* (1986); *What I Believe transpiration/transpiring Minnesota* (1991); *OWL/ON/BOU/GH* (1997).

Erica Baum visits Al
Filreis'
graduate
seminar on American Poetry (others invited; contact Al Filreis at
afilreis@english.upenn.edu if you'd like to sit in.)
Erica Baum's photographic art captures only alphabetically related
terms and puts them into new context. Her photographs are archaic
storage systems of knowledge yielding randomly found commentaries,
creating landscapes of words, as "subject headings" appear over the
vistas of information sheets formed by unexposed cards in card
catalogue drawers. How much a particular set of words is revealed, by
the angle of the shot, is the essence of Baum's humor. "The
self-consciousness" entailed in the act of cataloguing the catalogue,
wrote Christopher Chamgers in NY Arts (9/13/97), "intimates the
transcience and fragility of human accomplishments. It is our learning
that makes the endless
concatenation of teaching ironic." For more about this program,
