There's fine understated humor in many of the poems=2C= which softens the otherwise urbane voice -- one part wary and another part= earnestly yearning. It is this combination of vulnerability of the heart a= nd toughness of spirit that results in a compelling volume with fabulous ra= nge.=20 Some of Maurer=92s poems are ineluctably of the moment=2C seeming to have b= een traced in a foggy train window and glimpsed in passing as we hurry by. = Like BLUE CHALK LINE=2C at once suggestive of the emotive moment and dismis= sive of it:=20 "He wrote on the brick wall in blue chalk 'I know who wrote this.' Well I know who wrote this and you know who's reading this and that takes care of that." In the poem WITH THE UNBEARABLES=2C by contrast=2C we are rushed along pell= -mell with the high intensity crowd -- stretching our legs and striding ene= rgetically=2C Frank O'Hara style=2C through the New York City streets. "I notice I am running and the red dirt hits my Reeboks Up or down=2C I'm baffled=2C go for up I stumble to the crosswalk=2C see no clumps of people=2C ask The first man sitting and the man who's sitting next to him Tells me it's on further and yes=2C they do want readers" There is a nuanced balance going on here between eagerness to experience th= e world and desire to maintain crowd control. We=92re offered up a kind of = innocence in the face of it all: "She made this cap/unafraid of the city's = lingering threat=2C/was not troubled by thoughts of mutability=2C/of how th= is ephemeral thing would fare 5 years from now" writes Maurer in CORONA.=20 There is also a wry kind of cynicism=2C which only partly masks the underly= ing passion of the speaker=2C as in this couplet which concludes JARDIN CRE= PUSCLE: "The death penalty comes back on Monday/I guess I'll wear black". O= r in the opening lines from TO PAUL CLAUDEL BEFORE I FOUND OUT HE WAS AN AN= TI-SEMITE AND TURNED IN THE PLANE TICKET. "Claudel=2C Claudel=2C Paul=2C Paul=2C cent phrases pour l'eventails. You have cured me of the sea but fanned from a cinder to a torrid blaze my love for you. I'm saying this book is S O beau ti ful=2C I'm afraid it might fly away. And you=2C Paul=2C I love you for your poetry. But I hope your teeth aren't bad." True to their urbane nature=2C Maurer's characters are equally unafraid to = cut off a potential moment of intimacy in a New York minute. It is this tentative place she defines -- between the fully realized human = being living just below the surface of the urban defensive shell -- which m= akes Susan Maurer's poems so poignant and winning. Time and time again we a= re offered characters torn between the desire for human connection and puzz= lement over how to remain safe while achieving it -- perfectly enunciated i= n the anecdotal CALLING BILL KUSHNER=2C one of her strongest poems from the= collection=2C=20 "And so we collaborated. He did one line and I did another. I wanted to look down his throat to see where some of them came from. I mean how'd he come up with them? And he was mad at me sometimes 'cause he didn't think of some lines I did. I was honored. It was so intimate I wasn't sure we should be doing this." One almost wants to cry out with the same perplexity: 'yes=2C you SHOULD be= doing this=2C Sue =96 no=2C no=2C you should NOT be!' The ability to enunciate the dilemma of possessing a human heart in the tre= acherous urban environment is one of the hallmarks of New York poetry -- an= d in PERFECT DARK=2C Sue Maurer's got it in spades. There are vignettes and= anecdotes of experiences from Mozambique to Tallahassee=2C as befits a glo= be-trotting Manhattanite. But whether it's at home or abroad=2C we are conf= ronted with experiences and environs that both entice us and warn us away. = PERFECT DARK is a world where a back yard is a 'concentration camp for drun= ks=2C' people with Walkmen in their ears 'deaf to their own drama=2C' and s= ome kind of 'Guantanamo on the Hudson.' Even the butterflies become 'colors= /fraught with wings.' The whole question of selfhood in the tumult of stimuli can lead to a viole= nt clipped and yet captivating directness=2C as in DREAM ADDICT "I've been having to look at a number of faces that will no longer look at me. Ocatillo living fence=2C what the blue turtles like. I can smell snow=2C the brilliance of what is left unsaid. You hope the clown distracts the bull. Where's the who. There's no who. Horse of a different color. Same fucking ride. Glass beast. Mud garden. Ecstatic devouring. My body is a foreign country." If in the end it is about survival=2C Maurer poses for her readers a profou= nd question -- what it is that is worth surviving for. Throughout PERFECT D= ARK=2C we are reminded that there is beauty yet to be found within people a= nd things=2C if we can just safely find our way through-- something inside = that continues to offer enthrallment=2C and remains worth fighting for. "Th= ey are not the correct colors/it's o.k. to admire like/taupe and beige. The= se are Day-Gloes=2C/gawked at=2C cheap=2C carnival=2C/ what one doesn't lik= e" she writes=2C in ZINC: FRANKLIN AND OGDENBERG NJ.=20 Yet rocks=2C she reminds us=2C "have secret/lives=2C fluoresce=2C have/doub= le selves=2C turn from ordinary stone/to Day-Glo slash=2C or hot coal orang= e" and in the end=2C we want like the author to succumb to their beauty: "I gawk.

"The Drums of Silence" (Oleander Press, Cambridge, England, 2007), a volume of her selected poems in English translation, was awarded the Poetry Society Corneliu M. Popescu Prize for European Poetry in Translation in 2007. Her work has been translated into twelve languages. Gabriel Rosenstock has written: "It shouldn't surprise one to learn that Ehin spent a year on an uninhabited island as a nature warden. She herself moves in the land of men like an aspen, an oak, with astonishing sensitivity & strength, an eternal openess to silence, to the past & to the future ..." Gabriel Rosenstock is a poet & haikuist, author/translator of over 160 books, mostly in Irish. "Rogha D=E1nta/Selected Poems" was published in 2005 by Cl=F3 Iar-Chonnachta. The bilingual volume "Bliain an Bhand=E9/Year of the Goddess" appeared in 2007 from Dedalus Press. The second volume of his international anthology of sacred poetry "Guthanna Beannaithe an Domhain" is due shortly from Coisc=E9im. Ilmar Lehtpere has written: "The roots of Kristiina's very contemporary poetry are embedded deep in an ancient folk song tradition & in her organic view of the world. Like folk song, she invites the reader to share her experience at a primal level. The apparent but deceptive simplicity & directness of her language & her use of timeless imagery that bypasses the intellect & goes straight to the soul have enormous power, especially in our rootless, superficial times. Her subject matter is universal, yet deeply personal, & is expressed so vividly that her joys & sorrows seem to become one's own. Through Kristiina's poetry & prose one begins to understand what it means to be a woman, to be a mother." Ilmar Lehtpere had a bilingual upbringing in Estonian & English. He is the translator of Kristiina Ehin's "The Drums of Silence." His own poetry has appeared in Estonian & Irish literary journals. This, the official launch of the first trilingual Estonian-Irish-English book will take place along with a night of readings, music, & song featuring Kristiina Ehin, P=E1draig =D3 Snodaigh, Ilmar Lehtpere, Dave Murphy, & Gabriel Rosenstock.

This periodical features essays, interviews, artifacts, and reflections on the graphic, material and textual conditions of contemporary poetry and language arts. We are especially pleased with this issue, our first devoted to the work of a single author. In Simultaneously Agitated in All Directions, Daniel Scott Snelson discusses the relationship between structuralism and the poetries o= f the mimeo era by presenting a detailed analysis of Form (a Cambridge-UK magazine published in 1966) and Alcheringa (a journal published by Boston University in 1975), two exemplary gatherings that brilliantly illuminate the historical, material and social circumstances under which theory informed art (and vice-versa) in the early works of some of today=B9s most celebrated experimental writers.

The fact that the internet in subversive ways *narrows*, as well as expanding our world, that it makes the very concept of privacy a almost quaint wish, that it creates a powerful tool of control -as much its reverse- is unquestionable. Why is it that quite often you suggest a "practical" advice which further digs us into a mediated morass without directly confronting the ethical moral and philosophical issues which the question was originally trying to deal with? I have no doubt that there are technical ways -as you suggest with the idea of "I Feel Luck" option- the specific problem can at least theoretically be solved. But there is no doubt that the on-line publication, with its already established praxis of clicking directly to the works of one's preference -in itself a very "practical" method- is creating a medium which is incrementally more solipsistic -as it is more convenient, less friction bound- than its print counterpart.

Spencer Gordon writes and publishes. More juicy details can be found at dangerousliterature.blogspot.com. Michelle Desbarats was born in Winnipeg, grew up in Montreal and Charlottetown and resides in Ottawa. Her first book of poetry, Last Child to Come Inside, was published by Carleton University and McGill-Queen's University Press. Other publications include work appearing in Arc Magazine, Decalogue, Transpoetry, Burnt Toast, Speak!, Meltwater Review and on CBC Radio and at the Writers' Festival in Ottawa. Michelle was a finalist in the CBC Literary Awards. She has received writing grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Ottawa. She has also participated on Jury boards and as a judge for writing contests both in Canada and the US. Her work has been described as luminous and Don McKay, on the cover of the sold out Last Child To Come Inside, writes "This is poetry full of quick and acutely angled insight, moving with great sureness to glimpse the raven's wing inside the ordinary." Michelle is currently teaching poetry at Carleton University and working on two manuscripts. Garry Thomas Morse has two books of poetry published by LINEbooks, Transversals for Orpheus (2006) and Streams (2007), and one collection of fiction, Death in Vancouver (2009) published by Talonbooks. His work has been featured in a variety of publications, including Canadian Literature, The Capilano Review, dANDelion, filling Station, memewar, The Vancouver Review and West Coast Line. Morse has received the 2008 City of Vancouver Mayors Arts Award for Emerging Artist and has twice been selected as runner-up for the Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry. After Jack, his poetic homage to Jack Spicer, will be available from Talonbooks in April 2010. He moved to Ottawa from Vancouver but a few short weeks ago. Lisa Pasold has been thrown off a train in Belarus, been fed the worlds best pigeon pie in Marrakech, learned to polka at Danceland, and been cheated in the Venetian gambling halls of Ca Vendramin Calergi. She grew up in Montreal, which gave her the necessary jaywalking skills to survive as a journalist. Her first book, Weave, appeared in 2004 and was nominated for an Alberta Book Award; her second book of poetry is A Bad Year for Journalists, described as "critical, darkly funny and painstakingly lyrical" by The Globe and Mail. Her work has appeared in publications such as Billboard Magazine, The National Post, The Chicago Tribune, New American Writing, and Geist. Her first novel, Rats of Las Vegas, has just come out from Enfield & Wizenty. for information on the book fair, starting the following day at noon, check here; http://robmclennan.blogspot.com/2009/08/ottawa-small-press-book-fair-fall-2009.html -- writer/editor/publisher ...STANZAS mag, above/ground press & Chaudiere Books (www.chaudierebooks.com) ...coord.,SPAN-O + ottawa small press fair ...poetry - a compact of words (Salmon) ...2nd novel - missing persons www.abovegroundpress.blogspot.com * http://robmclennan.blogspot.com/ ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Really I should be working busily to get everything up together, but that's hard, an= d writing to you is more fun, so: hello. A couple of things to update since my last message, and a couple of reminders too. *Update 1:* due to production difficulties, *The History of Airports* book will not now be published until later this month. The launch event will still be at Stoke Newington International Airport, but we've rescheduled fo= r Wednesday 25th November at 8pm. So you'll be happy to know that bonfire night is once again *wide open *for fun & frolics. I know how much you like those. You can still preorder *The History of Airports* at the special price of = =A310 (+p&p) through the *Lean Upstream web site* o= r by emailing leanupstream@chrisgoodeonline.com -- the offer is now good through to Wednesday 25th. *Update 2:* My Artsadmin Weekender workshop, the final event in the season, is now *sold out*. If you missed it, sorry. I'm hoping to do more workshops next spring, so keep your eyes peeled -- and if you're a potential workshop programmer or host and you'd like to discuss possibilities, please drop me = a line. The first week of the season, sans booklaunch, now looks like this: Tuesday 3 November, 8pm @ CPT HIPPO WORLD GUEST BOOK plus Chris Goode in conversation with critic Matt Trueman Wednesday 4 November, 7.30pm @ CPT YEAH BOOM!: A CHRISTOPHER KNOWLES READER plus a complete reading of Knowles's THE NET WORK OF HOWARD BETEL (9pm) Friday 6 November, 7.30pm @ Toynbee Studios O VIENNA performed by Jonny Liron Plus readings by Caroline Bergvall + Marianne Morris Music by Dominic Lash + Tom James Scott Saturday 7 November, 8pm @ Toynbee Studios Kurt Schwitters: URSONATE performed by Chris Goode Plus works by Vito Acconci, Michael Basinski, Samuel Beckett, Cathy Berberian Guest performers: Jonny Liron, Keston Sutherland, Lawrence Upton For more information, venue + booking details: http://www.leanupstream.info Please do consider buying a season ticket, or making a donation to help us meet our running costs, or pre-ordering the book: any of which will help make this & future work possible. All of these kindnesses can be enacted through the web site . At any rate, very much hoping I'll see you at some point during the season. And bring a friend! As always, the fundamental things apply: if everyone wh= o was planning to come anyway brought along a friend who *hadn't* been planning to come, presto! Double the audience, double the fun. Apologies for this further intrusion into your inbox and, as usual, if you'= d rather not receive further promotional mailings from me, just say, & your wish will be my command.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Received the below notice from Northwestern UP yesterday of a volume of essays edited by Louis Armand. I'm looking forward to reading it. But I have to wonder about the title's rhetoric: "Redefining the Boundaries of Contemporary Poetics, in Theory & Practice, for the Twenty-First Century," and how this comports with the age, gender, interests, and ethnicity of the authors. Very interested in reading it. But I'm curious, given its TOC, how one redefines these boundaries "for" the century before us with almost all anglophone authors, with only two women, with people who are presumably almost all white, with essays that seem still to retain principally modernist concerns (text and technical issues), and with its two keynote essays by theorists born in the first half of the 20th Century, one of whom is 78. I'll have to wait to say more, but I'm suspicious that this is more about redefining the poetics of the 1980s/1990s. Gabriel Gudding --- CONTEMPORARY POETICS "Redefining the Boundaries of Contemporary Poetics, in Theory & Practice, for the Twenty-First Century" Edited by Louis Armand ISBN 0-8101-2359-2 (paperback). 384pp. Publisher: Northwestern University Press, Evanston. http://nupress.northwestern.edu Exploring the boundaries of one of the most contested fields of literary study--a field that in fact shares territory with philology, aesthetics, cultural theory, philosophy, and even cybernetics--this volume gathers a body of critical writings that, taken together, broadly delineate a possible poetics of the contemporary. In these essays, the most interesting and distinguished theorists in the field renegotiate the contours of what might constitute "contemporary poetics," ranging from the historical advent of concrete poetry to the current technopoetics of cyberspace. Concerned with a poetics that extends beyond our own time, as a mere marker of present-day literary activity, their work addresses the limits of a writing "practice"--beginning with Stephane Mallarme in the late nineteenth century--that engages concretely with what it means to be contemporary. Charles Bernstein's Swiftian satire of generative poetics and the textual apparatus, together with Marjorie Perloff's critical-historical treatment of "writing after" Bernstein and other proponents of language poetry, provides an itinerary of contemporary poetics in terms of both theory and practice. The other essays consider "precursors," recognizable figures within the histories or prehistories of contemporary poetics, from Kafka and Joyce to Wallace Stevens and Kathy Acker; "conjunctions," in which more strictly theoretical and poetical texts enact a concerted engagement with rhetoric, prosody, and the vicissitudes of "intelligibility"; "cursors," which points to the open possibilities of invention, from Augusto de Campos's "concrete poetics" to the "codework" of Alan Sondheim; and "transpositions," defining the limits of poetic invention by way of technology. "An epoch-defining collection of manifestos and essays: its list of contributors reads as a who's who of current important theorists in the field." --Michael Golston "Puts a number of excellent essays back in print and makes several others easily available for the first time." --Craig Dworkin CONTENTS 1.

I was partly referring to a group of poets living in the New York area, particularly in Brooklyn. Recently, I was reading some of Kymberly Lyon's poetry where she was re-working a number of Shakespeare's sonnets. I remember saying to myself that Kim must have picked up the idea from Kasey's experiments around the same idea, which were the topic of discussion by Gary Sullivan in his blog * Elsewhere* a while ago. I do not possess a final list of who belongs to the Flarf poetics list and who does not. That does not prevent me from noticing cross pollinations across its borders nor does it prevent me from seeing major differences among its members.

I got the impression they were looking for practical solutions as a way of indeed confronting the issues. It really brings your argument into question, doesn't it? Terrible, just terrible. Morally reprehensible on my part, really. Catherine too; she offered much the same solution. Your approach is really the one I should take. I will, more often, try to not offer any obvious practical solutions. Instead, I will just blame the Internet or the digital for the problem and escalate it from a technical matter to an ethical and philosophical one. I see the error of my ways now, Murat. Thanks so much, brother. Still, it's true that technologies both expand and narrow our worlds, as you say. No doubt the technologies themselves do a lot of both, but when it comes to expanding our worlds, there's nothing like a human bean to do it, and that's a big part of what we're doing on the Internet, surely, as artists. We are trying to expand views, expand on ideas, offer alternatives, offer solutions...as well as our usual stuff. I have spent thirteen years writing vispo.com and I don't get the audience that many a lesser site does because of x and y. You won't find my site in the first few pages of search results if you google 'poetry'. But if you google 'digital poetry' or 'visual poetry' and various other more narrow terms, then I'm in there. Ultimately, those who need to find such work can and will find my site. The rest, well, it doesn't matter if they find the site or not. They can but probably won't. And would be confused if they did. On my home page at http://vispo.com , I provide five ways to navigate the site: 1. the thumbnails, of which there are 64, are associated with works. not all works have a thumbnail but i'm workin on it. a brief description of the project associated with a thumbnail appears when you mouseover a thumbnail. 2. there's a search box for the site (google site search); this is a free service google offers. any page that is on my site and is indexed with google is thereby searchable. 3. there's a drop-down menu which lists all works on the site 4. there's a 'highlighted' list of categories (mostly); again, a brief description appears when you mouseover a category. 5. the 'goto' button at top left takes you to the project associated with the current background image. the background image is different each time you visit the homepage. this feature offers another view into the works on the site and gives people a strong sense of the graphical nature of the site. in a sense, the project associated with the current background is 'featured'. this is an attempt to provide multiple perspectives/views into the site. it's net cubistic. why would this be less of a convention than a more linear approach? i don't think it is. not in my internet, anyway, Murat. so i applaud Hugh Behm-Steinberg for looking for alternatives to the phenomenon he mentions and am happy to offer a practical solution. not all problems are so easily solved! as you note, Murat, ethical and philosophical issues accompany the ways we deal with the economy of attention, but we are not helpless in the matter. ja http://vispo.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Murat Nemet-Nejat" To: Sent: Sunday, November 01, 2009 12:54 PM Subject: Re: serendipity and webjournals > Jim, > > Why is every ethical or philosophical issue is being turned into a > technical > problem, with a technical solution?

Comments: To: Ampersand Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v936) Please join us at Right Window for an opening reception of Stephanie Mansolf's installation "Dear Catastrophe" and reading of members of Dodie Bellamy's prose workshop Sunday, November 8, 2009, 2-6pm at 4:00 p.m. readings by: Lindsey Boldt Mari Collings Drew Cushing Apsara DiQuinzio Maizie Gilbert Kevin Killian Sara Larsen Minnette Lehmann Anne McGuire Ron Palmer Right Window is a storefront window space at Artist Televison Access, 992 Valencia Street (at 21st), in San Francisco. Stephanie Mansolf's "Dear Catastrophe" will run from November 8--29, 2009. Organized by Dodie Bellamy, "Dear Catastrophe" presents a series of Victorian styled treehouse dioramas--an imaginary cityscape--inhabited by humans, gremlins, and warrior cupids. Spike pits are layered in front of the treehouses, mountains behind the treehouses, clouds with battling cupids above the treehouses. In this layered landscape Mansolf explores how a space created for safety can quickly and easily become a threat. The treehouse city is inherently precarious, and its denizens are quickly falling into a chaos of disarray, danger, destruction, and death. Mansolf's startling dystopia draws on influences as disparate as the video game Mortal Kombat, the 1960's Disney film Swiss Family Robinson, and San Francisco's "painted ladies," the Victorian homes that adorn our streets. Stephanie Mansolf received her BFA from UC Santa Barbara in 2006. During the end of her undergraduate studies Mansolf was commissioned in conjunction with artist Kat Trajano to transform Santa Barbara's chic Presidio Motel into an avant garde and eclectic art motel; a project from which the duo has received wide acclaim. Since then Mansolf has shown in Santa Barbara, San Francisco and Arcata California. Mansolf's practice delves into dark angles between reality and fantasy, investigating matters of human nature, disease, and hybridity through a manifestation of fanciful imagery. Employing gothic and surreal aesthetics, Mansolf creates a carnivalesque landscape where melodrama thrives, and taboo topics can be explored. She currently lives and works in San Francisco California. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I am very aware of the practical nature of the original question and equally aware of the tectonic, revolutionary nature of the internet as a medium, which will affect all aspects of human endeavor, including perhaps the meaning of human nature itself. There is all the more reason for us to raise our consciousness of what is happening -yes, philosophically, intellectually, ethically what is happening, even if there is relatively little one can do about it or even the desire to do so. My point is that on this list -as in our culture in general- the attitude towards the internet is one of cheer leading -you remember the attitude of the press media towards the Iraq War?- The internet revolution is also the enabler of a lot of dislocation and suffering in the world, why a company that took one hundred years to build can implode in the wink of an eye and throw thousands of people out of work, why power tends to be concentrated increasingly in fewer hands and banks can become so powerful, why the division between rich and poor become wider and more irrevocable, why a bomb can be "droned" from thousands of miles into one's bedroom without eye contact. Interacting with your Kandinsky series, for instance, I was conscious of the meticulous, years-long effort it must have taken to create that work which cobbles elements of different media into a unified whole; but, by coincidence, that was one of the days when someone had strapped a bomb around his chest and blown himseld and forty people. I remember saying to myself this man with a bomb around his chest is -corrupt, distorted, nihilistic though it may be- is a reaction to the confluence of those alienating, remote as malignant forces. One has to use what one has got. I wish one way or another -subliminally or not, even if only as strays or fragments of thought- these aspects -the dark underbelly of what the computer can do- could enter into the dna of your work. I do not see it, but perhaps I am missing it or for you it is irrelevant. For instance, David Chirot's work, his RuBEings, or his collage posters are infused with this critical spirit. Probably, your visual digital work techically is a light year more "advanced" than David's work. But, here we are arriving at the same issue again: the response to an ethical, political relality with a "practical," technological solution.

That's pretty exaggerated, Murat; it's not exactly convincing. But it's true that the Internet has and continues to change the way a lot of business is done. Art is affected as much as any other field because so much art can be digitized. Anything that can be digitized is or will be affected rather dramatically, in the end. It gives capitalism in all affected fields a real shot in the chops. I'm not making any cash right now. Lots of people are suffering in the same situation. But it's not accurate to blame the Internet revolution for it all. It's a global economic meltdown that, ultimately, seems to have less to do with the Internet than the failings of cowboy capitalism. Together with dwindling and exploited resources, population increase, environmental abuse and pollution, and not much international cooperation, coordination support, and respect for international law. > Interacting with your Kandinsky series, for instance, I was conscious of > the > meticulous, years-long effort it must have taken to create that work which > cobbles elements of different media into a unified whole; but, by > coincidence, that was one of the days when someone had strapped a bomb > around his chest and blown himseld and forty people.

When Dan Bar-On of PRIME ( http://vispo.com/PRIME ) was alive, I could probably have gotten involved much more in their projects in the Middle East. But, ultimately, I felt that doing the web site for them was about the extent of the involvement that I could really contribute. It's not a conflict that I am close to--or understand enough--to be of much real help otherwise. But I was very happy to do their web site and offer that support to their very important joint Israeli-Palestinian peace building initiatives. Everybody's life and work has some sort of political dimensions. When I look around me and at the work of myself and those whose work I enthusiastically follow, I see efforts to create types of art that are new and so, of course, it doesn't really fit in to whatever crumbling art structures already exist. So these artists face difficulties both financially and in critical reception and understanding of their work. I try to write about and discuss and get the word out about this work, internationally, and contribute in some way to international communication about this sort of work, which you could mainly describe as computer art, usually net-based. Often with a literary dimension. Work like David Jhave Johnston's http://vispo.com/jhave really makes me scream and shout. And I try to create that sort of art myself in a way that does offer something new and interesting to people and I try to challenge myself and others to push it. Currently, with dbCinema, it's not so much a literary type of art as erm visual and intensely computational. Though I'm also trying to build dbCinema so that there are literary and narrativistic possibilities. I haven't really explored those as much, yet, as I have the visual possibilities. But I will. And there's lots of em. Chris Funkhouser has been exploring that with dbCinema. Developing dbCinema as the writer of this tool, I've mostly approached it as getting it to be able to make all sorts of different types of art that aren't made by anything else. So I've been more concerned with exploring the um marks it can make on a screen than in deeper planning concerning language and narrativity with pieces made with it. But dbCinema is also associated with issues that have political dimensions. One's notions of cinema are involved. And copyright issues, of course, using google image search. And then there's just the whole thing of this type of art. Lots of visual artists see this sort of thing as junk. One painter said to me recently it's junk, it isn't in galleries, you just push a button and out it comes, it's very limited. Then there's the financial aspect. I'm broke. I got a bit of a plan on that, we'll see, but I'm not much of a businessman. Can this sort of art support me? Probly not, but it's what I'm doing, it's where my passion is, so I figure I better do it hard while I can and see what happens. You say the suicide bombers work with what they got. So do I. There's got to be some joy in the world, Murat, and I'm on the frickin job. ja http://vispo.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 You know, it's amazing to me how that conversation with Dale Smith got interpreted by some. I've been accused of being heterophobic, something I've NEVER been accused of in my life! But my favorite emails were those telling me that there were many ways to interpret what Dorn MEANT by his homophobic AIDS poems in his late work. Really? Well then, HOW do you interpret THIS! Below is an email from Clayton Eshleman, and there's NO WAY anyone can hide from what Dorn meant here: dear CA Conrad: thanks for your talk with Dale Smith on Ed Dorn and other matters. A brief footnote that should interest you (and perhaps, if you feel it is appropriate, can be posted), is relative to the Dorn/AIDS discussion): In Dorn's (and his wife Jennifer Dorn's) magazine Rolling Stock, #5, there appeared, written in collaboration with Tom Clark, an item called "The 1983 AIDS AWARDS FOR POETRY--In recognition of the current EPIDEMIC OF IDIOCY on the poetry scene." The page featured a large illustration of a test-tube of reddish liquid, presumably infected blood, which was the "prize." The recipients of this "award" were Dennis Cooper ("for writing the most AIDS-like line of the year: "Mark's anus is wrinkled, pink, and simplistically rendered, but cute"); Clayton Eshleman (for "attacking a dead--and thus harmless--poet, Elizabeth Bishop" in a review in the LA Times Book Review); Robert Creeley (for writing extravagant blurbs for books by Stephen Rodefer and Joanne Kyger); Steve Abbott ("for accusing everybody who doesn't like him or his poetry of 'rabid homophobia'"); Allen Ginsberg (for claiming he wrote some lyrics for the rock group The Clash, when supposedly he hadn't); and finally, "WRITE-IN CANDIDATE" ("Fill in the name of your favorite POETRY IDIOT here."). I have taken the above information from Eliot Weinberger's note on "A Case of AIDS Hysteria" that appeared in Sulfur #9, in 1984. The clear implication of the "awards" is that all of the poets who had offended Dorn and Clark (with infractions of good taste!) should not only die, but should die after a long and particularly gruesome disease. You can read the rest of Eliot's piece in Sulfur (I will send you a copy if you like). This is another example of the sickening and pointless level on which Dorn and Clark were operating in the 1980s. My wife Caryl and I were living in Los Angeles at the time, and quite close to Koki Iwamoto (the owner of the famous Chatterton's bookstore on Vermont St) and a number of his gay friends. We watched most of these people die of AIDS, including our dear Koki. That poets themselves would indulge in the kind of right-wing AIDS hysteria and homophobia that Dorn and Clark did still strikes me as unbearably sad.

I do not want our disagreements here to have any smell of a personal attack. Let me respond to two issues you have raised: a) "I'm not making any cash right now. Lots of people are suffering in the same situation. But it's not accurate to blame the Internet revolution for it all. It's a global economic meltdown that, ultimately, seems to have less to do with the Internet than the failings of cowboy capitalism." Contrary, the economic collapse of the last year was caused by derivatives, something which would have been inconceivable before the advent of computers. The connection is direct. Ironically, a small number of people created the esoterica of derivatives -remember, nobody understand what they were, like Einstein's general relativity theory at one time- behind which they could give rein to their unrestrained greed and which, when the curtain removed, turned out to be no more than a poncy scheme. That is why I believe that the virtuality of the digital world must constantly be analyzed -not because I am a yahoo Luddite. It is of the nature of the computer as a medium to create priesthoods and illusions, a potent and deadly combination. b) In no way do I dismiss digital works. I am fascinated by them, partly because the computer turned out to be such a radical mind and world altering medium. That is why my criticism of what I believe to be their serious limitations -even misdirections- is so intense. Your involvement with your work regardless of monetary rewards is -as you said- like the suicide bomber hugging his or her vest, on an ecstatic trip. In both the mediations are reduced to their essentials. Both are using what they've got.

That's the beauty of sexism: it's about enacting the long-running favoritism of men and men's interests, whether you "mean" to or not. It ca= n be intentional in that men can do so to protect their interests; it can als= o be unconscious in that we learn to favor the male viewpoint and are conditioned to it. You can study the realities of that in literature, theater, art, etc. This is a piercing analysis that can be applied to infinite kinds of suppression. We have all experimented the hypocrisy of those who have not committed the act nor insulted directly - in closed circuits since when we were children - and with their detached and superior candor have increased our feeling of estrangement. I am sure that you are following me here with personal experiences. Foucault analyzes the 'social discourse' as much as h= e can, and both Foucault and Derrida are highly attentive to the dynamics tha= t accompany easy statements, and to their disastrous results.

At Woodland Pattern he has been involved in the planning and presentation of hundreds of poetry readings, music performances, art and book exhibits.

After several layoffs, Gartung helped organize his workplace into the Teamsters Union in 1993, and has served as a union steward from the ratification of the first contract to the present. =20 Wednesday, November 11, 8 PM FREE ADMISSION A Tribute to George Schneeman > Friends -artists, poets, dancers, filmmakers- as well as family, will gat= her > to salute the life and work of George Schneeman, a major artist and frien= d to > the downtown community for over 40 years.

As well as the symposium there is an exhibition/ reading room on the 28th so do get in touch if you have any work relating to this topic. all best David WRITING EXHIBITIONS is a one day symposium on 27th November 2009 at the Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston Upon Thames, exploring relationships between writing, curating and exhibitions, identifying and proposing a range of possibilities and practices including: scripts for exhibitions, alternative forms of proposal, scores and scenarios for/as exhibitions, textual based art and exhibition practices, and the possibilities for writing based exhibitions in a variety of formats including gallery, web, book, and postcard. WRITING EXHIBITIONS also looks to explore roles of the writer in exhibition making, from the nuances of writer as curator, to possible presences for the writer aside from the production of written texts. For all these instances, WRITING EXHIBITIONS looks to uncover both speculative histories and a diverse range of current and future practices. WRITING EXHIBITIONS is part of GUESS ROOM GUEST ROOM, an exhibition by David Berridge as part of 7.9 Cubic Metres, and itself derived from a written script and score. WRITING EXHIBITIONS is looking for 10 practitioners to spend a day exploring the range of ways writing can inform all stages of exhibition making. We are looking for a range of perspectives and all presentation styles that can be accommodated within the gallery space itself. Please send a proposal of up to 500 words outlining what you would like to contribute to the day, both in terms of individual presentations (up to 15-20 minutes in length) and/or questions and proposals regarding group discussion/ workshop. Please also send up to 250 words on your practice more broadly. The closing date for applications is Nov 10th 2009. All applicants will be notified by Nov 14th. Practitioners unable to attend the event in Kingston are invited to submit statements, texts, posters and other work for exhibition/ distribution during the day. A publication will be compiled after the event. For further information and to submit applications please contact David Berridge at writingexhibitions@gmail.com WRITING EXHIBITIONS is organised by David Berridge in collaboration with 7.9 Cubic Metres, its curator Eliza Tan, the Stanley Picker Gallery.

Looking at some vivid images of this muck, Shaw will try to suggest, first, how the ongoing Dutch relation to provisional land was shown otherwise by the century=B9s best painters (esp. Ruisdael, Van Goyen an= d Hobbema): not as a heroic and final sorting in service of social domination and economic productivity, but rather as a necessarily contingent arrangement of fluid and mutable substance=8Ball staged in an equally fluid temporality, a non-instrumental =B3now.=B2=A0 Why have such models of composition and time been illegible to historians (and art historians)?=A0 He=B9ll try to answer this in part by exploring the relation between historical narration and the different painterly genres of landscape and history.=A0 But rather than resolve this dilemma in a neat historical frame, Shaw wants instead to push on the conceptual resources latent in landscape painting until they spill out and become an attractive if slippery mound in our own moment of samplings, performances and installations. Lytle Shaw=B9s books of poetry include Cable Factory 20, The Lobe, and severa= l collaborations with artists. His essays and reviews have appeared in Cabinet, Artforum, and Parkett and in catalogs for the DIA Center for the Arts, the Drawing Center, and the Sculpture Center.

Didn't someone put out a book recently, something like 50 sonnets playing on Shakespeare's 50th sonnet, or 55 playing on 55th?? I can't find it googling it, because I keep getting Shakespeare cliff notes things. 2. Also there's Tim Atkins' '25 Sonnets' (The Figures, 2000); excerpts here: http://www.onedit.net/timatkins_author/sonnet.html That work is very spare, does a lot with punctuation. 3. There's also the 13-line 'Sonnet: More of Same' in Ashbery's recent 'Where Shall I Wander.' 4. ALSO***: Ben Lerner's The Lichtenberg Figures; great book of 'experimental' sonnets; playful tone, provocative concepts, interesting use of the page. 5. Clark Coolidge has recently completed a manuscript called '88 Sonnets'; not sure if any of it's been in journals, but you could maybe contact him for the manuscript; he read from it at the The Line Has Shattered event in Vancouver in August, and it's very cool, very dark stuff. Uses a lot of found language. 6. Josh Corey's Severance Songs, which won the Dorset Prize from Tupelo Press last year, is all sonnets. His blog says he's reworking the stuff, but there's one of them there: http://joshcorey.blogspot.com/2009/10/after-form-fails.html#links .

As for essay-textbooks, Campion and his, um, attacks on Rhyme still seem to me crucial in any consideration of scansion, because they train the ear -- by train, I mean, teach you to listen (not to agree necessarily -- given the shifts in English pronunciation, he often seems wrong) -- the same goes for Spenser's crucial correspondenc with Harvey. The more poetry you read, students (and I) learned, the more you start to count, measure, weigh; and then the more you figure out where to find out stuff on your own. No point shoving it down (up?) anyone's throats. ========= Peter Quartermain 846 Keefer Street Vancouver BC Canada V6A 1Y7 604 255 8274 (voice and fax) quarterm@interchange.ubc.ca ========= -----Original Message----- From: Poetics List (UPenn, UB) [mailto:POETICS@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU] On Behalf Of judith goldman Sent: 14 November 2009 10:02 AM To: POETICS@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU Subject: Teaching scansion Dear all, For those who teach scansion, which critical works on scansion/prosody do you use?

One can go back only to 1988 when Dorothy Porter asked me for a poem on HIV/AIDS, "Loose White Tee Shirts", for a prestigious poetry journal of which she was a guest editor, and the fact that she had to fight for the inclusion of this poem which the journal editors wanted removed because of the explicit gay content. Apparently poetry journals are not covered by the anti-discrimination act in New South Wales. Noel Sanders, who supervised my grad thesis, "Queer Aesthetics" and was my cultural studies lecturer was forced to leave Harvard and his PhD in the 70s when it became known he was having an affair with another male grad student. As an aside, aside from being one of the important founders of Australian cultural studies Noel is also a classical composer who has composed scores on HIV/AIDS. You can find more from below: http://sounz.org.nz/contributor/composer/1085AS Apologies, what I have written seems disconnected. I still cry and have anxiety attacks when I type HIV/AIDS and when combined with other small stresses; my kitten went to the vet yesterday to be spayed and I have spent the pass four hours trying to buy a Mamiya RB67 camera which I hope to use for black and white landscape montages. As a gay man, must I now include a male nude? Going back to the silver gelatin print and photographic art book, am I a sell-out on my avant-garde media arts aesthetics; it has been implied. The doctors say I will never recover. Take more sedatives and breathe slowly through a handkerchief. The other embarrassing side of AIDS; activists whose health has been destroyed by the struggles, forced into medical retirement on a disability pension. And opiate narcotics for the chronic pain. High on pills, out of the road, living in the country. In the 70s a gay socialist wrote an article criticising the limits of formalism and Language Poetry. (I can't get hold of this article, nor Jack the Modernist, no matter.) Derrida wrote; ... and in the homosexual phase which would follow Eurydice's death... Orpheus sings no more, he writes. It would be interesting to revisit Language poetry with these writings. I suspect it would help to solve some aesthetic/poetic problems I have. But not now... when I have more strength. This was only meant to be a short response in support of Sedgwick, but anyways, best wishes, Chris Jones. > Amy King, Wayne Koestenbaum, & R.

This event is free and open to the public. Small Press in the Archive Lecture Series dedicates itself to the study of poetry outside the traditional literary historical plot. The lectures in this series draw on materials in The Poetry Collection, at SUNY Buffalo in order to explore community/discourse formations, the status of ephemera and the making of genre, the conditions of literary production, transatlantic cross-pollinations in and between specific magazines, the careers of poets, the role of book art, and how the little magazine functions in the making of the avant-garde. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Call for Artwork/Poetry/Text Hybrid Experiments. Creative Responses : The work of Arakawa and Gins has been extremely influential for poets and artists. At the Second International Conference in 2008, a number of distinguished poets, performance artists, and media artists contributed to the program. We invite new creative responses that develop, investigate, explore and inflect aspects of Arakawa and Gins' written, drawn, built and unbuilt works. We can accept creative responses in the following forms: textual or graphic (which could include poetry in any form, visual works and/or image/text hybrids); net-based interactive works (flash, etc.); net-based video. In addition to the web exhibit, University of New Orleans Press has committed to publish a collection of the creative responses in book form. Proposal Website: http://netpoetic.com/ag3art/call.html AG3-Online will run from March 12-26, 2010. Submit proposals by December 1, 2009, with final projects due February 1, 2010. Proposals should be emailed to and should include: 1. A 100-200 word description of the work, including how the work fits the theme. Please include links to relevant or past works. 2. If the work is already complete, include either a url to the work or an attachment (open office, MS word, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.). Net based video should include a link to a preview version on youtube or some other location. Do not attach files larger than 5 mb to the proposal submission. 3. A short bio .

He reframes that old contested territory, the ordinary, or =91pedestrian=92 body. His teacher, t= he choreographer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer, wrote, in 1968, of her own work as =93a control that seems geared to the actual time it takes the actual weight of the body to go through the prescribed motions, rather than an adherence to an imposed ordering of time. In other words, the demands made on the body=92s (actual) energy resources appear to be commensurate with th= e task . . .=94 Does this equation balance in the ordinary body of today, whe= n the =91prescribed motions=92 are often obscure, charged with impossible simultaneities, or shamed with distant, mechanized heroism. And what to do with all that =91seeming=92 ? In his words: My everyday life reveals my cowardice, my normalcy, my difficulty. Every time I do my ritual, it is slightly different. I think about what I would do in an extreme situation. I assume, I would know what to do in an extreme situation, but I need practice. Some possible issues and questions that may arise: What kind of athlete or non-athlete is the contemporary American citizen? The slapstick histories of multitasking Do the body=92s economies (sexual, affective, energetic) reflect/counter/re= act to/empty into The Economy? How. specifically? Is =91survival=92 a performance, a fetish, a nostalgia, an ordinary reality= ? Which for whom? Is represented labor still labor and is labored representation still representation? Who says so? ___ From Marcus Civin: "I had been so confident and now I had an awful feeling that the war had gotten out of my hands" --Gertrude Stein as Alice B. Toklas (Th= e Autobiography of Alice B.

M -----Original Message----- From: nettime-l-bounces@kein.org [mailto:nettime-l-bounces@kein.org] On Behalf Of t byfield Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 9:49 AM To: Nettime-l Subject: Phil Agre's gone missing Very sad. And very strange that he's been missing since "2008/2009": http://sites.google.com/site/philipagre/ On another list, someone pointed out this writing of Agre's, which he described as a cri de coeur, from late '98: I don't normally get emotional about political issues. I don't know why, but I don't. Nonetheless, in October 1997 I heard something that I found so disturbing that I haven't been able to write about it until now. At the Telecommunications Policy Research Conference, the conference organizers put together a plenary panel presentation about so-called cyber war. The presenters were all US military guys, both officers and military academy intellectuals, who have developed what is apparently an entirely new US military doctrine for the cyber world. I judged these guys to be honest about their reasoning, and I was hardly alone in finding everything they said to be astonishing. More: That's bad enough, but it's just the start. In the new world, the military guys said, warfare is no longer conducted along borders and boundaries, with front lines and supply lines and all of that. Warfare, in fact, can no longer be comprehended in spatial terms. To the contrary, in a world where communications infrastructure is everywhere and every element of communications infrastructure is a sensitive military target, war has no spatial limits. And when terrorists can use public communications networks to conduct endless low-level attacks anywhere in the world from anywhere else in the world, war has no temporal limits -- they actually used the phrase "permanent war". And more: War, on these guys' conception, is now conducted in every aspect of society. Foreign manipulation of the content of American news media, for example, is "cultural war". Taken all together, the result is -- and this is their term -- "total war". You might have thought that the Soviet Union had fallen, that the United States was by far the greatest military power on earth, that the heavy cloud of the Cold War had lifted, and that it was time for the United States to stand down from its total mobilization, disband the national security state, end the culture of secrecy, reshape the military in some reasonable proportion to its plausible adversaries, and get to work on the rest of society's problems. You might think all of that, but you would be wrong. In the world of the Internet, it would seem, things have only gotten worse. We are now in a world of permanent, total, omnipresent, pervasive war. Cold War plus plus: all war, all the time. They said this. The military guys' view of the emerging nature of war has numerous consequences, and they spelled some of them out. They stated, for example, that in the event of war it would create no precedent for the government to take control of facilities that are sensitive from a military perspective. But they asserted that war is no longer an event but a permanent state, and they had also asserted that virtually the entire productive infrastructure of the country was relevant to war as it is now defined. During the question period, therefore, I asked them where the boundary between military and non-military facilities could be found, and they answered, with seemingly genuine distress, that the boundary does not exist. The consequence, which they did not spell out, is that the emerging economics of information infrastructure have required the United States government to adopt as official policy an authoritarian variety of communism. The whole thing's well worth reading, as is just about everything Agre wrote: http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/notes/98-12-16.html And that was eleven years ago. For context, it's also worth a glance of what was afoot on this list at the time: http://www.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-9812/threads.html Naturally, my eye was drawn to the two messages I sent: http://www.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-9812/msg00005.html http://www.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-9812/msg00064.html As Vuk used to say: bingo. I've been thinking a lot lately about the relationship between individual biographies and the mood of the broad trends and discourses that people recognize and articulate. I hope that Agre doesn't turn out to be a victim of his own formidable intelligence; he wouldn't be the first, and he certainly won't be the last in the coming years.

As a practitioner of both the arts of poetry or other =93imaginative= =94 writing and more theoretical or critical work, the poet-critic or poet-scholar inhabits a compelling space both inside and outside the university. We are interested in the relationships between these two activities and the ways they come together to affect the reading and writin= g practices of the poet-critics themselves and their readership. As many poet-critics are read within college classrooms or are themselves professor= s or teachers, we are interested in the relationship between such critical/creative writing practices and their pedagogical implications. Thi= s conference will provide an occasion for dialogue across genres, disciplines= , readerships and pedagogical practices that will focus on the potential for creative and critical thinking both inside and outside the classroom that practices of the poet-critic can invigorate. The conference will consist of six panels across March 12th and 13th. We will have three papers for each panel and only one panel in session at a time each day. Each panel will feature an invited respondent and three papers. The conference will also include a pedagogy colloquium and short paper workshop as well as multiple poetry readings on and off campus. Panel topics include: Historicizing the Poet as Intellectual Poetics and Reading Methodologies Poetic Epistemologies and Alternative forms of Scholarship Writing and Thinking Between Genre Poetic Conceptualisms and Poetic Productions Poetry and Pedagogy Confirmed panel respondents so far: Craig Dworkin, Sina Queyras, Juliana Spahr and Vanessa Place. Instructions for paper submissions and pedagogy colloquium mini-papers: sen= d 350 word abstracts to *both* organizers jbeard@ucsc.edu and aquaid@ucsc.edu by Dec 17th.

The subtle = dynamics of relationship that can lead to loneliness, romance and even = divine love are noted with deadpan perceptiveness.

Everything we learned as poets, she has unlearned.

Between the convulsive high notes of Archie Shepp and the intricate silences of a himalayan Rishi this amazing text baffles stimulates irritates and gratifie= s the reader who has the patience and intellectual curiosity to plumb the depths and extents of this "ghost-ridden astrologic theater" , which can also be read as a continuous? segmented? alleatory composition in the manne= r of John Cage. It is as if Jackson Pollock had chosen to use words (syllables!) rather than pigments as his medium. Ganick says "the poem was exciting to write" and indeed its almost naive exuberance, fracturing synta= x in every possible way, is a principle characteristic of this monumental Text. This is not to deny the underlying lyricism in the content of its intense fragmentation, as in "over full, read is anothered to morning in sky," ... The at times oneiric segmentation cannot help but remind one of Holderlin's "Fragments". The enormous and sometimes puzzling breadth of thi= s Text can best be summed up in a single phrase: "Light & Maya". ----------------------------------- Remove A Concept vol 02 / blurb by Sheila E. Murphy www.lulu.com/content/7762352 A principled uncertainly proposes hypotheses, examines each with a cool calculus infused with depth of feeling. One of the welcome ironies of this extended text is the centrality of a pressurized short segment that stands discernibly as a focal gem. Peter Ganick=92s disciplined attention to the situational mystique reveals that single points of focus enrich the whole mental field with meaning. Here, a fine, musical ear sharpened by considerable and continual study and experience, trusts the occupation of a locus, finds a panoply of linkages embedded within situations to yield concise renderings of surfaces and their multiple under-layers as a recognition of infinity. ------------------------------------ Remove A Concept vol 03 / blurb by John Crouse www .lulu.com/content/7800085 yr remove a concept, its endless/open as yr other writings. while it tells/ says one thing, it can be other things @ other readings/looks. yr words don= t seem harvested by program, i would say theyre not, theres alot more going o= n than random splice and splat & see what sticks. the kind of reading i experience, or what i experience while im reading yr work is a kind of terminal freedom, a velocity that glides unbiased like gold thread can keep stretching while retaining valence and value. terminal as endless as well a= s endless places to board and depart. ------------------------------------ Remove A Concept vol 04/ blurb by Jim Leftwich www.lulu.com/content/7841069 thinking in this text, *what if *soon becomes *as if*, and if, one by one, concepts proposed are removed as other concepts emerge, then *as if* become= s *is*, concept yields to process, being yields to becoming, and one is no longer thinking, or at least not thinking of concepts, one is in the process, no longer reading for content, or at least not for concepts as content, nor is one engaged in a process of reading as writing, one is rather reading as a process of following poetry as it unfolds, as if a poem might be about the time spent writing or reading it, as is the case with this poem, and perhaps with all other poems, once the concepts are removed. ------------------------------------ Remove A Concept vol 05 / blurb by Olchar Lindsann www.lulu.com/content/7962709 A poem to be read by the morning, when routes of possibility are to be discerned winding amongst the gaps between shifting particles of thought, o= f thoughts still porous, not utterly cohered: so that the removal of a concep= t is the opening of a trapdoor, an infra-verbal space in which one shuttles back and forth: so that the poem forms itself around spaces, in undulating and arrhythmic cascades of language, then waits: so that one thinks *betwee= n *the nascent concepts lunging in staccato or gushing languorously on either side (...) A space for movement, to form itself around. -------------------------------------- Remove A Concept vol 06 / blurb by Michael Peters www.lulu.com/content/7962708 This important historical work bears its age with increasing intrigue, simply because it would seem to suggest the inversion of time via its manipulation of absence=97before and after you were born. It is unlike som= e of the more known, smaller works comprising Peter Ganick's publishing history=97and a must have, but good luck finding yourself within it. This massive body of words becomes porous, wildly poetic=97a veritable sea of holes, a space machine, or a supervaast field of labias. Ganick's RAC, a.k.a. "Remove a Concept," stretches you way out, makes you cross vaast spaces where you are uncertain of removals and insertions, and this contemplation includes yourself. Then if you realize it was undertaken in the late 1980s, the kinks in its thinking creates wild, definitive indefinitiveness where even the uncertainties are doubtful. ------------------------------------- Remove A Concept vol 07 / blurb by Richard Deming www.lulu.com/content/7962853 A =93fond energy=94 surges through the veins of Peter Ganick=92s herculean = *Remove A Concept*, powering the poems forward at every turn and creating an inescapable gravitational that pulls together its far-flung parts.

The scoop: A long poem at the fringes of the Canadian tradition, Ex Machina is a latticework of poetic and philosophical statements concerning the symbiosis of humans, books, and machines. A series of three intertwining sequences, the reader is encouraged to move back and forth from statement to statement= , seeking development but meeting frustration. The reader thus becomes a larval stage in the poem=92s development, forging connections between its disparate parts during the course of this mental processing, as the text evolves over multiple readings.

This is a wristband event. It will be a shining thing flashing by, just outside your reach. You will witness the strangled cries of many, and only afterward realize it comes from your own throat. ONE WRISTBAND PER FAMILY, limit TWO books per wristband. Once you have obtained your wristband, you will be distant from the hunger of the others. It is advised that you conceal your wrists from the sight of others. 2. We will start handing our wristbands at store opening, 9:00 AM on Saturday November 21. Remember, you are as a handful of seed scattered over the desert, which will remain when the sowing is done as empty as ever. 3. In order to get your wristband you must purchase at least one copy of Going Rogue from Borders. Be prepared to show proof of purchase (Borders receipt) to recieve a wristband. Because each book will feel but a tissue of feathers, you will rise slowly, floating upward as all those who have gone before you. 4. There is a limit of TWO books per wristband. Each book has equally points to the end of the universe, each text contained between the covers is flecked with gleaming tinsel pointing to the glittering stars. 5. Gov. Palin will sign but not personalize the books. Any careless change to this protocol may cause Her to float away. 6. Gov. Palin will only be signing her book Going Rogue. Absolutely no memorabilia, posters, signs, clothing, or other items allowed in the signing line. Please leave these items in your car. Exceptions to this rule: wasp nests, campaign exhumations, Her own family album, hemlock, speeches concluding with obvious falsehood and wolf pelts. 7. You must NOT take photos of Gov. Palin at the signing table. You may take photos from a distance but you will be asked to put away your camera and cell phone as you approach the table. This rule serves to provide the necessary comfort level for Gov. Palin since she fears that photos that close read her will steal a soul she believes she has. 8. We will have a table set up for you to check your bags/purses and to collect any gifts you might bring for Gov. Palin. Checks for you-know-what should be made out to you-know-who. 9. Gov. Palin fully intends to sign books for everyone with a wristband. However if unforseen circumstances arise we cannot guarantee she will stay to sign everyone's book. It is best to bring the deaf, dumb, blind, as well as all others afflicted to the head of the line for the faith healing during Gov. Palin's Altar-Call. Remember: only those born at least twice of the water may approach the signing table. 10. Rules are subject to change. Gov. Pailin's destiny may seize her, flinging her in another direction. If this should happen, praise God, since you will have witnessed Her Going Rogue! Thank you--enjoy the event!

Once, he tried =20= a self-deprecating play called Waiting for Jon to Leave (it did not =20 work out well). He leads the rock band JUANBURGUESA and an acoustic =20 "musical" project called Jon Berger, and has published a couple of =20 zines. Currently, he edits the music section for Boog City. **Christy Davis and friends Christy Davis is a drummer, singer/songwriter who has been playing in =20= bands since 1989. She currently plays with Olive Juice Music's own =20 Kansas State Flower. She has been a part of many projects including Rebecca Moore and the =20 Prevention of Blindness, Reverend Billy and His Stop Shopping Choir, =20 and the popular kid's band Audrarox. While playing with Rebecca Moore, =20= Christy had the honor of playing on the same bill as Lou Reed as part =20= of a tribute show for John Zorn at Town Hall. Christy will be accompanied by David Weintraub and Steve Scavuzzo. =20 Christy, Steve, and David were in the band Mold (1993-1999) and have =20 reunited, writing and rehearsing a new repertoire of songs, and going =20= back into the studio. **Renminbi http://www.renminbinyc.com/ Three seconds into Surface=92s penultimate track, Renminbi has already =20= pitted a Polvo guitar wobble against a sing-song Galaxie 500 melody. =20 Keyboardist SMV and guest drummer Jenny Johnson sound like they=92re =20 winding down from a 20-minute dirge, and guitarist Lisa Liu sings with =20= Tara Jane O=92Neil=92s woozy assurance. But this song isn=92t a half-hour epic. It doesn=92t anchor an album by =20= Sonic Youth or Mogwai=97although Youth cohort and producer Don Fleming =20= was at its helm. It clocks in at just over four minutes. And although =20= it=92s called =93Set-Up,=94 it starts in medias res and ends with a = feedback =20 whine. Like the other three songs comprising Surface, its terseness =20 belies its keening arc. Despite the EP=92s scope, Liu insists its origins are humble. After =20 accumulating a heap of experimental rock material she couldn=92t use in =20= her band Danger! Giant Ranger, in 2003 Liu formed Renminbi (pronounced =20= REN-MIN-BEE) and recruited her girlfriend SMV to play keys. Working =20 with a rotating cast of drummers, the duo released a pair of fractious =20= noise-punk EPs and in 2007 explored electronic textures on its full-=20 length The Phoenix. On Surface, the textures remain, but the keyboard sounds more like an =20= organ or violin and once-faint vocals come to the forefront. So why =20 the departure from 2007=92s asymmetrical, electro-heavy forms? =93Well =85 I got a new guitar,=94 Liu admitted=97and she was drawn back = =20 toward more traditional structures. For her and SMV, traditional =20 structures meant gutsy playing in unnameable time signatures or =20 unusual keys, =E0 la Versus (=93Portland=94), latter-day Sleater-Kinney =20= (=93Toulouse=94), and Autoclave (=93Then We Came to the End=94). The pair was also drawn to Fleming, whose work they=92d admired for =20 years from afar. After they sent him a long-shot email, he surprised =20 them by offering to produce the EP. In May 2009, with the help of =20 engineer Matt Azzarto, Surface was recorded live at the Hoboken, N.J. =20= studio that Sonic Youth calls home. =93There was something magical about it,=94 said Liu of recording the =20= tracks live. "Anything can happen in that situation." Fleming=92s =20 without-a-net approach served the band=92s expansive sound well. "The =20= focus was less on achieving a perfect take, and more on being present=97=20= feeling your way through the songs instead of thinking your way =20 through," Liu explained. Sonically, Fleming introduced "a huge palette of sounds," pushing amps =20= into the red to give the keys and guitars a grainy ring. =93There=92s a =20= certain energy that=92s captured through the extra overtones. It=92s =20 really open and raw,=94 Liu added. When it set out to record with Fleming, Renminbi=92s goal was an =20 immediate, taut statement. With Surface, it=92s made one breezily. But =20= it=92s also made an EP that sounds like some early '90s double album =20 you=92d put on after everybody=92s left the party, distilled down to = four =20 vital songs. =97Sam Schulz **Jesse Schoen http://www.myspace.com/jesseschoen Dystopian sci-fi, inept technicians, and the universe=92s tendency =20 toward chaos inspire Jesse Schoen=92s songs. He lives in Chelsea. **Tracy Shapiro http://www.ladyblanche.com/ Tracy Shapiro usually makes her rounds as a singer, songwriter, and =20 multi-instrumentalist. She often performs as Lady Blanche, her rock/=20 comedy persona. Lady Blanche sings an array of punk-twanged tongue in =20= cheek compositions, not so ladylike confessionals, and stream of =20 consciousness rambles often placing the human condition on a pedestal =20= and glorifying it with graceful irreverence, bucketloads of heart, and =20= fervent immediacy. Lady Blanche has recently been a consistent support =20= act for the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players on their national =20 tours. Tracy also plays as one-third of the female retro rock trio The =20= Mini Pearls. **Krista Weaver http://www.kristaweaver.com/ Krista Weaver was born at the Naval Hospital in St. Alban's, Queens in =20= June of 1969. She had a fairly normal suburban New York upbringing, =20 with slow-moving grandparents who lived nearby, a mother who stayed at =20= home, and a father who worked. Her parents divorced when she was nine. =20= She grew up, went to a public high school in Brooklyn, graduated, then =20= left town. She travelled extensively in Europe and across the United =20 States, working as a bar-girl, a donut-slinger, and a ranch-hand. She =20= got married, had children, got divorced. When she took up the guitar in 2004, she baked pies, and did sub work =20= at the local high school to make money. She never listened to the =20 radio and never watched TV. She drove a silver-gray Buick Regal with =20 lavender pinstriping that had belonged to her grandmother. She learned =20= how to play--and recorded her first album (So Long Arlington, Two =20 Stones Music)--on a $100 guitar she borrowed from her brother. Her =20 life hasn't been the same since. --=20 David A.

Best, Sam Charles Olson 2010 A Centenary Conference Centre for Modern Poetry, University of Kent 13th =96 14th November, 2010 2010 marks the centenary of the birth of the American poet Charles Olson. As poet, critic and theorist, Olson extended the possibilities of modern writing. From Call Me Ishmael to The Maximus Poems he probed the relation between language, space and community, providing radical resources for the re-imagining of place and politics. Aiming, in Robert Creeley=92s terms, to hear all that Olson still provokes at the beginning of the Twenty-First Century, this conference seeks to re-assess the scope of his legacy. It will provide an opportunity to consider Olson=92s value through and across a range of disciplines, with particular attention to be given to his influence on British and European writing.
