We invited contributions to build a digital bridge between Auckland and Sydney as poetry symposiums took place in each city in March and September 2010. In June the first part of the bridge was launched: 50-plus creative contributions, a collaborative digital poem, audio talks and photos from the Auckland symposium. Now the Sydney side launches with 60 creative contributions, a complementary digital collaboration, more audio talks, video readings, photos, and texts of papers and commentary. We present here the multiple traces (text, audio, visuals, poetry, prose) of the year=92s trans Tasman exchanges, noting how often the roles of host and guest have flip-flopped, and hoping that they will go on doing so as we move between each other=92s reading and writing spaces. http://www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz/features/home&away/bridge Pam Brown, Martin Edmond, Brian Flaherty and Michele Leggott Editors, ALL TOGETHER NOW __________________________________________________________________ http://www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz The New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre (nzepc) at the University of Auckland is an electronic gateway to poetry resources in New Zealand and the Pacific region.

Klara K leads us on an unspeakable journey through the ravages of WWII, while bearing a child who will never know these immensely moving shards of stories except through her mother's anguished memories. NIGHT SCALES is a compassionate, devastating tale of death and survival by those who "...ate the bruises and drank the hurt in a long swallow," and those who still "hoard the pain, like a gift that flowers on a dry stalk." Charles Borkhuis "Why turn memory into theater? With NIGHT SCALES: A FABLE FOR KLARA K, Chris Tysh threads devastating testimony and playful humor through the question of how we enact, with bodies, as performance, memory's language. Does memory become gesture, dialogue, set design? Is it spoken alone or in the whole community? Using theater as an overarching challenge, how does memory become both song and costume, narrator and chorus, horrors and stage business equally? Developing voices we recognize and grow attached to, NIGHT SCALES moves us through events of the Holocaust seen in the hot and the cold, in mundane songs and fragments of Russian, French and English. But how do we see horrors in language without staging them in real terms, even in our minds? The very best theater works both as play script and as mental mise-en-scene, concretizing the nominal world into bodies, actors, breathing.

Since the publication of those volumes, The Robinson Jeffers = Association has prompted a great deal of new work on Jeffers, most = especially through their annual academic conferences. Likewise, the = founding of Jeffers Studies has proved to be a real stimulus for Jeffers = scholarship. Given the enlivened atmosphere of Jeffers scholarship, the = time is right for a new collection of essays, one that significantly = adds to the body of critical work on Robinson Jeffers. =20 To that end, proposals are invited for essays that specifically address = the critical sea-change of the past two decades, especially as it = concerns Jeffers study, including but not limited to: the full advance = of ecocriticism; the re-imagining of regionalism as place studies; the = continuing development of cultural studies and the new historicism; the = development of the New Formalism; the increasingly poignant vector of = science and literature; the advances in narratology; the glaring = omission of feminist analysis in Jeffers scholarship; the similar dearth = of writing about the teaching of Jeffers. The primary audience for this = project will be academic, faculty and students primarily at the = undergraduate and graduate level; secondary audiences would include the = general public, especially given that Jeffers has long maintained an = energetic and mindful readership. =20 Proposals should be 750-1,000 words, include a clear title, highlight a = unique contribution to Jeffers scholarship, and provide the editor with = an unambiguous argument as to Jeffers=92 poetry, the critical tactics = undertaken by the essay=92s author, and the significance of the essay to = Jeffers scholarship as a whole. The deadline for proposals is December = 31, 2010. Proposals may be sent either electronically or in hard copy = to the appropriate address below.

The reading will take place in Swift Hall in room 106 and will be followed by a reception at The Renaissance Society (Cobb Hall, 4th Floor) that will include book signing and refreshments. *This event is FREE and open to the public. * Nutting's writing has appeared in *Tin House*, *Fence*, *BOMB*, and the fairy tale anthology* My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me*. Her short story collection, *Unclean Jobs for Women and Girls*, was selected by Ben Marcus as winner of the 6th Starcherone Prize. "Alissa Nutting's stunning debut collection, *Unclean Jobs for Women and Girls*, reanimates the deadest of dead pans to a state of enameled kabuki solar veneer - a sanctified, sublime, full-throated and full-throttled static panic.

On Thursday, December 2nd, 2010, CAConrad, author of Deviant Propulsion (Soft Skull Press), The Book of Frank (WAVE Books), and other books, was forbidden to speak on NPR's show Radio Times, hosted by Marty Moss-Coane. The show's focus was repealing DADT, with guests Tammy Schultz of the US Marine Corps War College, and Tobias Barrington Wolff, a professor of constitutional law at UPenn. The phone lines were open to the public, but when CAConrad spoke with call-screeners his opening remark was, "I am a gay man who is against repealing DADT and I have an online petition called Gays Against Gays in the Military." The screener's abrupt response was, "You're off topic," and hung up. Off topic? Calling back a second time CAConrad very quickly said, "This is not off-topic. And I am opposed to war, which is why I'm opposed to repealing DADT. Three children died every single day of war-related injuries in Afghanistan in 2009, and THAT is not a civil right, killing three children a day." He was abruptly told, "This is not about war and I don't have time to discuss this." Not about war? One of the guests is from the US Marine Corps War College. And since when is the US military not about war? Especially in 2010? Here is a link to the show: http://whyy.org/cms/radiotimes/2010/12/02/the-effects-of-repealing-don=92t-= ask-don=92t-tell-according-to-the-pentagon/ Listening to the show it is clear that the guests were in favor of repealing DADT, but not once did anyone mention the illegal wars the US is engaged in at present. When it came time to allow callers onto the show there were openly gay people who fell in line with the guests and their agenda. CAConrad's online petition GAYS AGAINST GAYS IN THE MILITARY can be seen at this link: http://invasionanniversary.blogspot.com He is available for discussing the petition, the wars, and the military.

Amidst the din of spinning LPs, under the =20 flatteringly dim lighting, over two beautiful amber pints of Stella, =20 Liz Clark Wessel and I spoke of our mutual passion for small press =20 poetry publishing. Having known (and grown to love) Liz for a few =20 months, I was aware that she had started a small press called Stray =20 Dog Press in Stockholm; I harbored much curiosity about the state of =20 its existence. Liz told me about the process of publishing her first =20 book, S.C. Hahn=92s A Sky That is Never the Same, and within moments =20 sparks of enthusiasm were flying, invisibly lighting the cave-like =20 corner in which we sat. Our decision that eve to rename and revive Stray Dog was cemented =20 further when another brilliant and capable cohort, E.C. Belli joined =20= forces with Liz and me. We three wise ladies all attend Columbia =20 University=92s Poetry M.F.A. program, and I am grateful to the Fates for = =20 bringing us together in such a poetically fertile environment. Argos =20 was the name of Odysseus=92 faithful canine companion; Argos Books will =20= soon be a faithful companion to readers and lovers of poetry and =20 translation. Poetry that crosses cultural and national borders, hybrid =20= writing, and work by women is of special interest. Interestingly =20 enough, the mission of Argos Books mirrors somewhat the pursuits of =20 Liz, Emily and myself. We are all translators, and have firm footholds =20= in diverse locations (Omaha, Switzerland, New York, Stockholm=85). The =20= upcoming summer and fall promise to be exciting and fruitful times for =20= Argos Books. Stay tuned. *Marina Blitshteyn http://wagsrevue.com/Issue_5/#/42 Marina Blitshteyn was born in the U.S.S.R. and immigrated to the =20 U.S.A. in 1991.

Comments: To: cultstud-l@lists.comm.umn.edu Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0 Greetings=2C =20 I am looking for poems that exhibit=2C or are examples of=2C "code meshing"= in literature=2C specifically poetry. (Due to access issues=2C though I sh= ouldn't underestimate our library=2C online sources would be especially hel= pful.) We are considering the term "code meshing" in the sense that it is u= sed (but in another context) by S. Michael-Luna & A. Suresh Canagarajah=2C = and others: =20 =20 =20 "Code meshing is a communicative device used for specific rhetorical and id= eological purposes in which a multilingual speaker intentionally integrates= local and academic discourse as a form of resistance=2C reappropriation an= d/or transformation of the academic discourse." =20 "Code meshing differs from a more familiar sociolinguistic notion=2C code s= witching." =20 "Code meshing is a social practice which intentionally integrates local and= academic discourse in order to index specific discursive=2Cideological and= rhetorical stances of the interlocutor. Code meshing both accommodates the= merging of discourses that other scholars have previously discussed=2C and= advances the consideration of lexical=2C rhetorical and structural hybridi= ty previously unexamined." =20 "Code meshing suggests that the context is an integral part of the observab= le interaction and cannot be separated from it." =20 "Code meshing recognises an integration of multiple codes of language by su= ggesting that knowledge and linguistic resources are not only integrated or= meshed but also include hybrid codes. Code switching=2C on the other hand= =2C involves items at the lexical or syntactic level and has focused on bal= anced bilingual language use. Code meshing can also involve single lexical = items=2C but additionally uses broad rhetorical strategies=2C structural un= its and considers the full continuum of bilingualism." =20 "We must distinguish code meshing from code mixing which refers to the incl= usion of single lexical items (=91borrowings=92) that have become naturalis= ed in the borrowing language. Code meshing also includes mixtures of larger= structural and rhetorical units=2C and symbolises something intentionally = =91marked=92 in the dominant language of the text."

He may well have visited and was knowledgeable of the Aeolian Isles where volcanoes cast molten lava into turquoise seas, whipped by the winds of the god who made his home there. It was to these rapturous, Edenic and violently creative islands that JL Williams ventured to write the poems in this collection; poems inspired both directly by Ovid's tales and informing the new story that emerges from the old ... a post-apocalyptic vision of the earth where metamorphoses engender rebirth out of the ashen wasteland that humankind has made of the world. Ovid expressed the truth that to change is to survive, and this message erupts out of the poems in CONDITION OF FIRE, whose language and images strive to communicate in new ways the essential elements of myth, creation and the burning breath of being. _______________ CONDITION OF FIRE ...

At 4 p.m., the widely published author plans to present a Master Class for RIT students and others interested in writing poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction. Following, at 7:30 p.m., his award-winning play,Dutchman, will be performed by the theater troupe Many Voices, co-produced with Maplewood Performing Arts Center. Both events are free and open to the public. The Dutchman debuted in 1964, and received the Obie Award for outstanding Off-Broadway play. It was made into a feature film in 1966, and has been sighted as the first major work of the Black Arts Movement, and remains a classic commentary on race, class and gender in the United States. For more than a half-century, Baraka=B9s dramas, poetry and jazz criticism have earned him international acclaim and numerous awards including the 1984 American Book Award, the PEN-Faulkner Award, the Langston Hughes Medal and the National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Award. The performance is sponsored by Poets and Writers Inc, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts. Additional funds are provided by RIT=B9s Department of English, Department of Fine Arts, Office of Special Projects and Office of Student Affairs and NTID=B9s Department of Performing Arts, and private donors through Many Voices Productions. vincent f. a. golphin assistant professor department of english 1315 liberal arts hall 92 lomb memorial drive rochester,ny 14623 585.415.6196 =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 don't know much about the maps other than they are based on Creeley's electronic correspondence, which (I believe) he donated to Stanford. The links belo= w connect to Creeley "correspondence," or "network" graphs, using the 50,00= 0+ emails he sent to various people between 1995-2005.

Here are some details about Blake's Tree: "Blake=92s Tree begs to be read out loud. Uncanny and spot-on, the repetit= ion of words and phrases which levitate within a controlled form. Lushness in the economy of word. Lyric and narrative commingle. This is serious and necessary fun." --Kit Kennedy William Blake played on his own name in =93The Little Black Boy=94 (Blake = =3D Black) and whirled us between nouns and verbs when he wrote, =93Damn braces= , Bless relaxes.=94 In these six-line, stanzaic pieces, Joel Chace follows Blake=92s example=97not only his =93tree=94 but his =94poetree=94=97and off= ers enigmatic phrases that tease us out of thought. For a moment we are freed from cause and effect, from everything that insists on logic, and allowed to enter a space in which everything happens at once. =93Negative capability=94 flouri= shes in this world of beautiful whatevers=97where =93over the riven and through= =94 is not a typo and =93light snapped on off whole city=92s ponderable spook=94 i= s a perfectly reasonable, complete thing to say. =93The world is all that is th= e case,=94 Wittgenstein wrote memorably.

As the back copy says: "One day at the beach, David [Jaffin], a modern poet who gives readings, innocently walks in front of a firing squad: Silvia is a musician who expects to hear melody. Rudigar is a scientist who wants to understand why. Laura is an adventurer listening for a personal story. Warren is a grammarian insistent on linguistic purity. Carol is a German teacher with a passion for puzzles. Dudley is a mechanic in search of transcendent truth. Chang, a programmer, sees poems as logical processes. ***..." [Lists seven more characters, but you get the drift.] This book not only includes worksheets, study guides, and an on-line website to help the initiated enlighten the uninitiated, it's actually a good read in terms of story--warm and funny--and well written in the bargain. David Jaffin doesn't escape unscathed from the questioning and explaining, and sometimes resembles the proverbial lamb thrown to the lions, but in the end he's allowed to maintain his special status as resident poet of the beach.

At 4 p.m., the widely published author plans to present a Master Class for RIT students and others interested in writing poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction. Following, at 7:30 p.m., his award-winning play,Dutchman, will be performed by the theater troupe Many Voices, co-produced with Maplewood Performing Arts Center. Both events are free and open to the public. The Dutchman debuted in 1964, and received the Obie Award for outstanding Off-Broadway play. It was made into a feature film in 1966, and has been sighted as the first major work of the Black Arts Movement, and remains a classic commentary on race, class and gender in the United States. For more than a half-century, Baraka=B9s dramas, poetry and jazz criticism have earned him international acclaim and numerous awards including the 1984 American Book Award, the PEN-Faulkner Award, the Langston Hughes Medal and the National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Award. The performance is sponsored by Poets and Writers Inc, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts. Additional funds are provided by RIT=B9s Department of English, Department of Fine Arts, Office of Special Projects and Office of Student Affairs and NTID=B9s Department of Performing Arts, and private donors through Many Voices Productions. vincent f. a. golphin assistant professor department of english 1315 liberal arts hall 92 lomb memorial drive rochester,ny 14623 585.415.6196 ------ End of Forwarded Message =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.

Furthermore, I am publicly offering the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else I can do to keep WikiLeaks alive and thriving as it continues its work to expose the crimes that were concocted in secret and carried out in our name and with our tax dollars. We were taken to war in Iraq on a lie. Hundreds of thousands are now dead. Just imagine if the men who planned this war crime back in 2002 had had a WikiLeaks to deal with. They might not have been able to pull it off. The only reason they thought they could get away with it was because they had a guaranteed cloak of secrecy. That guarantee has now been ripped from them, and I hope they are never able to operate in secret again. So why is WikiLeaks, after performing such an important public service, under such vicious attack? Because they have outed and embarrassed those who have covered up the truth. The assault on them has been over the top: **Sen. Joe Lieberman says WikiLeaks "has violated the Espionage Act." **The New Yorker's George Packer calls Assange "super- secretive, thin-skinned, [and] megalomaniacal." **Sarah Palin claims he's "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands" whom we should pursue "with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders." **Democrat Bob Beckel (Walter Mondale's 1984 campaign manager) said about Assange on Fox: "A dead man can't leak stuff ... there's only one way to do it: illegally shoot the son of a bitch." **Republican Mary Matalin says "he's a psychopath, a sociopath ... He's a terrorist." **Rep. Peter A. King calls WikiLeaks a "terrorist organization." And indeed they are! They exist to terrorize the liars and warmongers who have brought ruin to our nation and to others. Perhaps the next war won't be so easy because the tables have been turned -- and now it's Big Brother who's being watched ... by us! WikiLeaks deserves our thanks for shining a huge spotlight on all this. But some in the corporate-owned press have dismissed the importance of WikiLeaks ("they've released little that's new!") or have painted them as simple anarchists ("WikiLeaks just releases everything without any editorial control!"). WikiLeaks exists, in part, because the mainstream media has failed to live up to its responsibility. The corporate owners have decimated newsrooms, making it impossible for good journalists to do their job. There's no time or money anymore for investigative journalism. Simply put, investors don't want those stories exposed. They like their secrets kept ... as secrets. I ask you to imagine how much different our world would be if WikiLeaks had existed 10 years ago. Take a look at this photo. That's Mr. Bush about to be handed a "secret" document on August 6th, 2001. Its heading read: "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US." And on those pages it said the FBI had discovered "patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings." Mr. Bush decided to ignore it and went fishing for the next four weeks. But if that document had been leaked, how would you or I have reacted? What would Congress or the FAA have done? Was there not a greater chance that someone, somewhere would have done something if all of us knew about bin Laden's impending attack using hijacked planes? But back then only a few people had access to that document. Because the secret was kept, a flight school instructor in San Diego who noticed that two Saudi students took no interest in takeoffs or landings, did nothing. Had he read about the bin Laden threat in the paper, might he have called the FBI? (Please read this essay by former FBI Agent Coleen Rowley, Time's 2002 co-Person of the Year, about her belief that had WikiLeaks been around in 2001, 9/11 might have been prevented.) Or what if the public in 2003 had been able to read "secret" memos from Dick Cheney as he pressured the CIA to give him the "facts" he wanted in order to build his false case for war? If a WikiLeaks had revealed at that time that there were, in fact, no weapons of mass destruction, do you think that the war would have been launched -- or rather, wouldn't there have been calls for Cheney's arrest? Openness, transparency -- these are among the few weapons the citizenry has to protect itself from the powerful and the corrupt. What if within days of August 4th, 1964 -- after the Pentagon had made up the lie that our ship was attacked by the North Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin -- there had been a WikiLeaks to tell the American people that the whole thing was made up? I guess 58,000 of our soldiers (and 2 million Vietnamese) might be alive today. Instead, secrets killed them. For those of you who think it's wrong to support Julian Assange because of the sexual assault allegations he's being held for, all I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey. Please -- never, ever believe the "official story." And regardless of Assange's guilt or innocence (see the strange nature of the allegations here), this man has the right to have bail posted and to defend himself. I have joined with filmmakers Ken Loach and John Pilger and writer Jemima Khan in putting up the bail money -- and we hope the judge will accept this and grant his release today. Might WikiLeaks cause some unintended harm to diplomatic negotiations and U.S. interests around the world? Perhaps. But that's the price you pay when you and your government take us into a war based on a lie. Your punishment for misbehaving is that someone has to turn on all the lights in the room so that we can see what you're up to. You simply can't be trusted. So every cable, every email you write is now fair game. Sorry, but you brought this upon yourself. No one can hide from the truth now. No one can plot the next Big Lie if they know that they might be exposed. And that is the best thing that WikiLeaks has done. WikiLeaks, God bless them, will save lives as a result of their actions. And any of you who join me in supporting them are committing a true act of patriotism. Period. I stand today in absentia with Julian Assange in London and I ask the judge to grant him his release. I am willing to guarantee his return to court with the bail money I have wired to said court. I will not allow this injustice to continue unchallenged. Yours, Michael Moore MMFlint@aol.com MichaelMoore.com P.S. You can read the statement I filed today in the London court here. P.P.S. If you're reading this in London, please go support Julian Assange and WikiLeaks at a demonstration at 1 PM today, Tuesday the 14th, in front of the Westminster court. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

Furthermore, I am publicly offering the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else I can do to keep WikiLeaks alive and thriving as it continues its work to expose the crimes that were concocted in secret and carried out in our name and with our tax dollars. We were taken to war in Iraq on a lie. Hundreds of thousands are now dead. Just imagine if the men who planned this war crime back in 2002 had had a WikiLeaks to deal with. They might not have been able to pull it off. The only reason they thought they could get away with it was because they had a guaranteed cloak of secrecy. That guarantee has now been ripped from them, and I hope they are never able to operate in secret again. So why is WikiLeaks, after performing such an important public service, under such vicious attack? Because they have outed and embarrassed those who have covered up the truth. The assault on them has been over the top: **Sen. Joe Lieberman says WikiLeaks "has violated the Espionage Act." **The New Yorker's George Packer calls Assange "super- secretive, thin-skinned, [and] megalomaniacal." **Sarah Palin claims he's "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands" whom we should pursue "with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders." **Democrat Bob Beckel (Walter Mondale's 1984 campaign manager) said about Assange on Fox: "A dead man can't leak stuff ... there's only one way to do it: illegally shoot the son of a bitch." **Republican Mary Matalin says "he's a psychopath, a sociopath ... He's a terrorist." **Rep. Peter A. King calls WikiLeaks a "terrorist organization." And indeed they are! They exist to terrorize the liars and warmongers who have brought ruin to our nation and to others. Perhaps the next war won't be so easy because the tables have been turned -- and now it's Big Brother who's being watched ... by us! WikiLeaks deserves our thanks for shining a huge spotlight on all this. But some in the corporate-owned press have dismissed the importance of WikiLeaks ("they've released little that's new!") or have painted them as simple anarchists ("WikiLeaks just releases everything without any editorial control!"). WikiLeaks exists, in part, because the mainstream media has failed to live up to its responsibility. The corporate owners have decimated newsrooms, making it impossible for good journalists to do their job. There's no time or money anymore for investigative journalism. Simply put, investors don't want those stories exposed. They like their secrets kept ... as secrets. I ask you to imagine how much different our world would be if WikiLeaks had existed 10 years ago. Take a look at this photo. That's Mr. Bush about to be handed a "secret" document on August 6th, 2001. Its heading read: "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US." And on those pages it said the FBI had discovered "patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings." Mr. Bush decided to ignore it and went fishing for the next four weeks. But if that document had been leaked, how would you or I have reacted? What would Congress or the FAA have done? Was there not a greater chance that someone, somewhere would have done something if all of us knew about bin Laden's impending attack using hijacked planes? But back then only a few people had access to that document. Because the secret was kept, a flight school instructor in San Diego who noticed that two Saudi students took no interest in takeoffs or landings, did nothing. Had he read about the bin Laden threat in the paper, might he have called the FBI? (Please read this essay by former FBI Agent Coleen Rowley, Time's 2002 co-Person of the Year, about her belief that had WikiLeaks been around in 2001, 9/11 might have been prevented.) Or what if the public in 2003 had been able to read "secret" memos from Dick Cheney as he pressured the CIA to give him the "facts" he wanted in order to build his false case for war? If a WikiLeaks had revealed at that time that there were, in fact, no weapons of mass destruction, do you think that the war would have been launched -- or rather, wouldn't there have been calls for Cheney's arrest? Openness, transparency -- these are among the few weapons the citizenry has to protect itself from the powerful and the corrupt. What if within days of August 4th, 1964 -- after the Pentagon had made up the lie that our ship was attacked by the North Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin -- there had been a WikiLeaks to tell the American people that the whole thing was made up? I guess 58,000 of our soldiers (and 2 million Vietnamese) might be alive today. Instead, secrets killed them. For those of you who think it's wrong to support Julian Assange because of the sexual assault allegations he's being held for, all I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey. Please -- never, ever believe the "official story." And regardless of Assange's guilt or innocence (see the strange nature of the allegations here), this man has the right to have bail posted and to defend himself. I have joined with filmmakers Ken Loach and John Pilger and writer Jemima Khan in putting up the bail money -- and we hope the judge will accept this and grant his release today. Might WikiLeaks cause some unintended harm to diplomatic negotiations and U.S. interests around the world? Perhaps. But that's the price you pay when you and your government take us into a war based on a lie. Your punishment for misbehaving is that someone has to turn on all the lights in the room so that we can see what you're up to. You simply can't be trusted. So every cable, every email you write is now fair game. Sorry, but you brought this upon yourself. No one can hide from the truth now. No one can plot the next Big Lie if they know that they might be exposed. And that is the best thing that WikiLeaks has done. WikiLeaks, God bless them, will save lives as a result of their actions. And any of you who join me in supporting them are committing a true act of patriotism. Period. I stand today in absentia with Julian Assange in London and I ask the judge to grant him his release. I am willing to guarantee his return to court with the bail money I have wired to said court. I will not allow this injustice to continue unchallenged. Yours, Michael Moore MMFlint@aol.com MichaelMoore.com P.S. You can read the statement I filed today in the London court here. P.P.S. If you're reading this in London, please go support Julian Assange and WikiLeaks at a demonstration at 1 PM today, Tuesday the 14th, in front of the Westminster court. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

It's the end of the year so please send us a check for $100 if you can (less or more is ok, too) made payable to: Segue Foundation and send to Segue Foundation, 300 Bowery, NY, NY 10012. Segue is poor NYSCA funding has been reduced due to state budget cuts. Sales are somewhat lower this year due to the recession. So you check is worth more than ever this year. I'd hope you each can find $100 or more but smaller donations are welcome. Segue is doing great This year Roof published four books most recently the spectacular and lubricious Nada Gordon's Scented Rushes. Really folks, this poetry is hot and there are graphics. In this fall season we also published the exquisite spanglish, designy Edwin Torres' Yes Thing No Thing. Torres vertical and horizontal book breaks the mold of identity poetics reaching far beyond any one language. This spring we published Joan Retallack's Procedural Elegies / Western Civ Con't/ which won the 10 best books award from Art Forum. And Elizabeth Fodaski's Document, a book of surprising and elegant poems that makes me think it's possible to write a lyric. And your donation helps us to pay the poets who read at the Segue at the Bowery series every Saturday at 4pm. Recent readers include Rod Smith, Anne Waldman, and Allen Fisher. We continue to pursue excellence here as elsewhere in this 30 year series started by Ted Greenwald and Charles Bernstein. So please take out your checkbook and write a check to Segue Foundation. Please do it now. You'll be able to write it off your taxes and frame the check image on your statement.

BY WAY OF THE SEASON 1 After its struggle the gazelle surrenders to the lion's grip, useless to fight. Does it think then, does it think 'if only I'd dodged to the right. If only. Maybe next time.' As the cat disembowels it and begins to feed. Farewell to the hills farewell to the herd farewell to water hole and tender grasses and the joy of the young at the teat. 2 At moments when the consequences of choice are upon us we say 'this can't be all there is,' but it can. Regret, nostalgia and longing, on the other hand, are ready gifts, one can live as if there were choices with no consequences, as if the life could be unlived and lived again. 3 Day before Christmas in the supermarket the Stones are singing "Can't get no satisfaction," but we try & we try & we try & and we try and we buy something. 4 No way no way elusive as wind. 5 Stories and the stories of stories. A vocabulary of places gathered and left. Putting death aside, one wonders whether to climb that distant hill, as in the conservation of matter. There are so many windows to look through. Opposite, a building seems to wear as a crown the trees beyond it. Close one eye or the other to recover its true flatness. If I say 'rock dove' do you see 'pigeon?' 6 No gull rests now on the cross above the church's triangular facade, but it's apparently a perch reserved for gulls to take turns at. So much for religion. One prays to invest oneself in the known and unknown places, the simplicity of the abandoned and the immanence of ruins. Ghost-whispers. 'I am the demon that whimpers at night,' he said, and the pigeons (or doves) ride even the steepest wires. The oblique is granted them. Across the street in front of the travel agency a gruff Santa makes Christmas noises in Caribbean Spanish. For a moment I thought it the ghost rising through the radiator from the apartment below. He dances now to "The Entertainer" played on a portable keyboard. Ragtime Spanish Santa from the Dominican Republic. And what would Dominic have made of this? 'Church of the Immaculate Deception,' he might have said. As in 'I bring you pestilence' he might have said. It was an epidemic of grace. 7 That year three virgins bore sons. Zeus the King displayed his thunderbolts. Chango fell as a shower of gold. And Chac arrived as rain. Where you find it bring joy. New from Chax Press: Mark Weiss, As Landscape. $16.

Interview with Doug Holder. In an email from Poet Karen Akalay-Gut she writes: "When I was just beginning to feel at home in the Israeli poetry scene,=20= the author and editor Ben Zion Tomer was looking over a piece of mine=20 he was going to publish and said, =93You know, you were born an=20 orphan.=94 The shock I felt was one of recognition not insult =96 for the= first=20 time someone had understood the basis of my writing more clearly than=20 I had. The idea of exile, of perspective, was something I had carried=20 with me from the days of my childhood, when my parents, long-term=20 refugees and now new immigrants to the United States, chose to share=20 their freshly acquired dwelling with displaced persons and concentration=20= camp survivors. The religious education I was given in a Jewish Day=20 School which emphasized Judaism as its center and Israel as the new=20 home for the Jews was balanced by the afterschool Yiddish Farband=20 Classes which focused on socialism and community. Home in other=20 words, was always relative. But when I first came to Israel as a=20 teenager I understood that for me there was an emotional absolute,=20 that no matter how much it might be strange, and no matter how much=20 I could argue about its directions, this was where I belonged."=20 Karen Alkalay-Gut was born in London in the Blitz (March 29,1945), and=20= was educated in the United States. She received her Ph.D in English=20 literature at the University of Rochester. In 1972 She moved to Israel,=20= and has been teaching poetry at Israeli universities since then. In 1977=20= she joined the faculty at Tel Aviv University. In addition to a biography= =20 of the poet Adelaide Crapsey, Alkalay-Gut has published numerous=20 articles on modern American poetry, Victorian literature and fiction, and= =20 studies of poetry and popular culture. In addition to over twenty books=20= of poetry and a number of CDs with pianist Liz Magnes, Roi Yarkoni,=20 and others, new work scheduled for 2010 include: a compact disk of her=20= poetry with Panic Ensemble; a dual language collection, Belly Dancing=20 in Tel Aviv, will appear with Edizioni Kolibris in Italy; and an edition = of=20 Selected Poems will be appearing in Hebrew translation. I was suppose to meet her in Israeli and talk to her class in 2007, but=20= the University was on strike and it never happened. I met her a couple=20= of years later at McLean Hospital when she was researching a book on=20 Sexton, and Plath. Gut is planning a trip this Winter in 2001, and=20 hopefully will make a trip to the promised land of Somerville and a=20 meeting of the Bagel Bards.=20 Do you think being born in London during the Blitz had a subliminal=20 effect on you as a poet and writer? I was born on the last night of the buzz bombs, so in a way I brought=20 the peace, but the real effect on me came through my parents: for=20 them, the blitz in London was a relief. They were refugees, had been=20 fleeing for years before WWII, fled from Lida in Lithuania to Danzig in=20= 1930, were persecuted for my father=92s communist background in Danzig,=20= and escaped that city on the night before Hitler invaded, on the last=20 bus out. By the time they got to England they must have been wrecks,=20 but the tragedy of the war only came to them when I was born. It was=20 then that my mother learned that all of her family had been killed in=20 the war. That must have influenced the way I was raised, and the=20 expectations my parents had for me. I think the enormous tragedies=20 that were uncovered at the time of my birth had more than a subliminal=20= effect on me =96 they are part of my identity. In your poetry and in your life--you exhibit the feeling of being an=20 orphan. Literally you are not--but metaphorically you are. Explain? In a way I wanted to be an orphan, to grow up without the burden of=20 my family=92s past. To grow up without the past of my people, without=20 the imperative of my gender, without the rules that seem to dominate=20 the way we think. I was always breaking out of traditions, even while I=20= was enjoying my own versions of traditional things. For example, when=20 Isaac Bashevis Singer=92s book, Satan in Goray, came out in English, I=20= was sixteen, and I devoured the book. He wasn=92t famous yet, and was=20 invited by my parents=92 in Rochester to lecture in Yiddish. His lecture=20= was wild, rowdy, nothing like any Yiddish literature the cultured Yiddish= =20 audience had experienced, and the audience was appalled. Afterward,=20 my mother brought him to me, and said to him, =93Here, SHE will be=20 interested in what you have to say!=94 That was meant as a little insult=20= to both of us, but I was overjoyed to be coupled with my new hero. You moved to Israel in 1972 from the States. Israel is a place where=20 many people go to find themselves--they are disconnected where they=20 presently live--and are looking for meaning--a sort of existential crisis= .=20 Was that how it was for you? I was perfectly happy in Rochester, New York. There were many ways in=20 which the city, the schools, the centers, the university nurtured me in a= =20 way that is rarely available to people. For years I had saved up to go to= =20 Europe, but when I was 20, and had enough money, my=20 parents =93strongly urged=94 me to go to Israel instead. I wasn=92t inter= ested,=20 but being a good girl, went along, thinking I=92d catch a flight to Greec= e=20 from Tel Aviv. The moment I landed in Israel I fell in love, and=20 continued to fall in love with every single person I met, every place I=20= encountered. So the first chance I got after I finished school I moved to= =20 Israel. It wasn=92t easy, and I have political conflicts all the time, bu= t=20 existentially, I=92m where I=92m supposed to be.=20 You use this quote in your collection of poetry " Miracles" =46rom far away everything looks like a miracle,=20 but up close even a miracle doesn=92t look like one.=20 - Yehuda Amichai, =93Miracles=94 Is this a call to you for immediate experience--the tangible over=20 conjecture? I thought I was simply referring to the fact that there are millions of=20= miracles that occur every day =96 and we usually don=92t notice them=20 because we=92re so involved in our own survival.=20 Like the Israelite in Amichai=92s poem who is busy watching the back of=20= the man in front of him on the way out of Egypt and doesn=92t realize tha= t=20 the parting of the Red Sea has taken place. Medicine seems a miracle=20 to me =96 the stuff that makes you better when you=92re sick. But for=20 Amichai the real miracles are the ones we experience all the time =96=20 little amazing details, remarkable in themselves, and of which poetry is=20= created. You have written a great deal about Slyvia Plath and Anne Sexton. They=20= both seemed like orphans in the context of their tragic lives. Is this=20= what attracted you? My initial attraction was to their boldness and daring, but the more I=20= read their poetry the more I saw what wonderful artists they were,=20 asserting madness and freedom but with such control and=20 craftsmanship that their art is often invisible. The drama attracted me,=20= and the art keeps me attracted. My =91orphans=92 have the freedom=20 determine their status. Even though my heart breaks every time I think=20= of what Anne Sexton=92s treatment should have been, and how much=20 damage her mistreatment did, that isn=92t what calls me to her. I am=20 drawn to their pinpoint analysis of the social imperatives that were=20 imprisoning them, and their desire to create their own destinies. There is no one right way to write a poem. How do you go about it?=20 When I was nine or ten, a wise Yiddish poet was boarding with my=20 family, and when he saw that I was making some efforts at composition=20 he gave me this advice: =93Never write if you can sleep without it.=94 I = have=20 thousands of ideas and phrases in my head all the time, but most of=20 the time they will dissipate if I can ignore them, but when the words=20 start to overwhelm me I jot them down and then begin to work on=20 them, to hone them into the poem that reflects the original thought,=20 and/or to develop them into what they could be. What school of poetry are you in or have been expelled from?=20 Orphans don=92t go to school. I=92ve been teaching poetry for forty five years. Shakespeare, Chaucer,=20= Tennyson, Rossetti, Wilde, Williams, Stevens, Roethke, Lowell,=20 Pinsky... I learn from them, from my students, from my research.=20 There=92s also my rock group =96 for a few years I was performing with th= em=20 and in the past few years I=92ve been writing lyrics for them. It makes m= e=20 more aware of the sound of words, how they fit together to make their=20 own meaning. Maybe the whole world is my school. There are a group of=20 poems pasted on the wall in my bathroom =96 they were written from=20 contemplation there =96 but they are about how it feels to be a sink, the= =20 responsibilities of soap, what is hiding behind the shower curtain, stuff= =20 like that.

It's 430 in the morning, can't sleep. Everyone is celebrating the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Three children die of war-related injuries every single day in Afghanistan. That's not an abstract statistic, it's very real, at least to me. I'm a queer man who has watched the queer community bow down and anxiously wait for the votes to come in. Do they want us? Are we good enough? Will WE TOO be allowed to kill three children in Afghanistan? Oh I hope so, I really want to kill some babies. It's 430 in the morning, or so. This world really is worth losing sleep over. I love this world. But it's pretty fucking scary. More than ever. The queer community was so bad-ass at one time. Coretta Scott King spoke once about gay men and lesbians marching with her and her husband in Selma when they didn't even have rights of their own. But when she said rights I DON'T THINK she meant the military. Because Coretta Scott King and her husband Martin Luther King were very much opposed to the war in Vietnam. Is this an incredible ruse? Has the gay and lesbian community been TRICKED into thinking that this is a good thing to want? To be part of this big, evil killing machine that kills for the American corporate interests? Poetry has answered this. And I'm so grateful for poetry. Where would we be without it?

In 2007 I defined Haptic Poetry on Wikipedia, connecting it with several well known names and a host of others. Since then I've tracked the definition to Korea and beyond and am most recently happy to see haptic poetry groups crystallizing around the nucleus of that definition.

I will relate all of this to the future of human/organic society on the planet, with or without the Internet, and I will do this in fifteen minutes. I would like audio- video output for laptop, but will not need online connectivity. Theses: 1. Culture is always already virtual. 2. Culture is always already abject and inscriptive. 3. Abjection and inscription are entangled, irresolute, corroding both truth functions and definitions. 4. Culture is all the way down; every organism is a priori cultural. 5. Culture is intimately related to alterity. 6. Virtual worlds permit logical, physical, organic, sexual, linguistic, and psychological flows, without fundamental basis. 7. Virtual worlds are the future of the exploration of inscription, culture, and the imaginary. 8. A parabola leads from virtual worlds to the true-real physical world, which is already produced, itself as virtual. 9. Physics is the structure of the true-real physical world. 10. The appetition of physical returns us to thesis 1. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.
