Perhaps Godard is the primary practitioner of the art where sound/noise acts as an independent character, often placed in the foreground of linear action. For instance, in Godard's last film *Socialisme* there is a sequence on a cruise ship where waiters, etc,. working in the dining roomare in the foreground, rather than the passengers ostensibly for whom the ship is built; and more than the waiters, the noises, clatters, the plates, the tools, etc. they carry make. This kind of effect which disorients conventional expectations is only possible through a sound montage.

This capacious word may begin to resolve the limitations of ?formalism? as a discrete genre. In her essay, ?The Trouble with a Word like Formalism,? Anne Stevenson writes, ?In a good poem, as everyone knows, form is inseparable from sense and tone. No poem worthy of the name can be formless?The sounds, rhythms, pitch and intensity of the lines ARE the form. Every poem is its form. A bad or failed poem is one whose form has either been imposed too much upon it, or neglected through ignorance or lack of an ear?? Nevertheless, ?form? continues to be a problematic term in contemporary poetics, particularly in its relationship to history. For female writers and people of color, formal verse is a vexed, yet potentially critical zone. In Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination, Toni Morrison writes, ?Those of us who come from traditions of oppression find ourselves estranged from canonical texts, and must fight?against them and our arguments with them?to own them.? Questions to consider include, but are not limited to, the following: What are the political valences of formal or multiformal poems in relationship to practice and theory? How might multiformalism be relevant and even vital in contemporary poetics? How might formal poems, even such traditional poetic forms as blank verse, offer versatile and sonically adventurous opportunities for disruption and variation? How might a revolutionary potentiality inhere in formal poetry, as has been the case in Tahrir Square, where protesters have sung couplet-slogans to galvanize a political movement? How might formal poetry be decolonizing? How might form denaturalize oppressive structures? How might formal poetry involve expressive modulation and the possibility of discovery, both of self and other? In what ways do traditional and experimental forms provide an efflorescent zone for marginalized communities? Please send any creative or critical work that delves into ?multiformalism,? employing or discussing traditional or experimental forms to barzakh@gmail.com by April 15. Please write ?Poetics and Form? in the subject line. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

It was a familiar usage in the early seventies in my own discussions with bp Nichol about the incipient hierarchization within the international concrete movement. We both noted that anthologies were regurgitating the same material which was straight edged, typographically lucid (Garnier's work for instance and Eugen Gomringer's as well as Ian Hamilton Finlay's in Scotland and that of the de Campos brothers in Brazil Wet both considered that what seemed to offer itself as a vanguard movement dedicated to poetic change was rapidly ossifying. Nichol certainly used the term in his letters to and from Stephen Scobie (living in the same town as bp we met and chatted rather than wrote to each other hence my take is purely anecdotal). But George's take is accurate and it applies to much of bissett's practice, my own, less so bp, and definitely to Bob Cobbing in England and the younger writers (Chris Cheek, Lawrence Upton and PC Fencott) who came out of Bob's revolutionary poetry workshops. The practice of dirty concrete seems to be continuing in Canada via writers such as Derek Beaulieu and jw curry (among others). my best to everyone Steve McCaffery On Feb 26, 2011, at 12:03 AM, POETICS automatic digest system wrote: > There are 4 messages totalling 231 lines in this issue. > > Topics of the day: > > 1.

This is quite the examination of class Adam. Has anyone else taken a look at this? http://fieledsfairgame.blogspot.com/2011/02/class-and-risk-nirvanas-in-bloom.html So Nirvana, to be "educated in class" was to not appear to be rubes? Are all working class people rural? "Rube" is a term for "country bumpkin." And what does it mean to be "educated in class" in the first place? What you are saying is that Nirvana is a late 20th century Pymalion experiment then? And Nirvana was, in attempting to not appear to be rubes, wanting everyone to think that their message was NOT Grunge? Isn't Nirvana the biggest proponent of the Grunge music genre? This is all very confusing because I don't think of Grunge as embodying or embracing the dominant culture but resisting it. And coming from working class people I can safely say that none of us hold poverty dear to our hearts. Poverty isn't dear. Poverty is frightening. Poverty is something that keeps us up at night made sick with worry.

Cha's best known written work, Dictee focuses on the life of several women framed with the art of the Greek muses, yet in the cosmos of Shamanism and Daoism. Their struggle to speak and overcome suffering is enacted through amixture of media which destabilizes the notion of a progressive and seamless history.

Moderated by=A0Kimiko Hahn, MFA Program, Queens College, CUNY Is the chapbook merely a charming medium for poetry? How is this perceived limitation changing and why? What can the chapbook do for fiction, nonfiction, and drama? Are the publications only for experimental texts? What about digital technologies? How are chapbooks expanding the definition of each genre as well as cross-genre expectations? Is the chapbook just a momentary stay against the brutal commercialization of the industry? Is it even charming? Who cares? Panelists will address these questions and speak about individual projects and visions. organized by the CUNY MFA Affiliation Group Free registration required.

Does orality, live performance, or mechanical mediation enter into it? There are formal distinctions that could be made between say Dada sound (voiced) poetry and the multi-track, magnetic tape experiments of artists especially from the 1960s onward. Like the Cage / Olson contrast mentioned yesterday, what has often puzzled me is the marginalization or categorization of other sound arts with language as outside the spectrum of poetry or literature. I remember listening to Kenneth Gaburo years ago and wondering why Lingua II Maldeto (also happily now at ubuweb http://www.ubu.com/sound/gaburo.html) was experimental music but Kurt Schwitters belonged to poetry. Still don't know the answer, except that Gaburo was paid by a music department. Dick Higgins is still very much worth reading on these issues: http://www.ubu.com/papers/higgins_sound.html ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Harry Mathews French poet, novelist and playwright Raymond Roussel (1877-1933) faced almost universal incomprehension and derision during his lifetime, for work= s that neglected traditional character and plot development in favor of the construction of elaborate descriptions and anecdotes based on hidden wordplay. While the premieres of his self-financed plays caused near-riots, admirers included Surrealists Andre Breton and Robert Desnos, who called Th= e Dust of Suns (1926) =93another incursion into the unknown which you alone a= re exploring.=94 Roussel never enjoyed the posthumous fame of his hero Jules Verne, but he has exercised a powerful fascination upon later writers and artists including the French Oulipo group, Marcel Duchamp, John Ashbery, Michel Foucault, and Michael Palmer. New editions of his novels and poetry are forthcoming this year from Princeton and Dalkey Archive. Like much of Roussel=92s writing, The Dust of Suns has a colonial setting. Against the backdrop of fin-de-siecle French Guiana, a convoluted treasure hunt unfolds. Along the way, Roussel fully indulges his penchant for bizarr= e invention and juxtaposition. The Frenchman Blache seeks his uncle=92s inheritance: a cache of gems whose location lies at the end of a chain of clues that includes a sonnet engraved on a skull and the recollections of a= n albino shepherdess. Meanwhile, his daughter Solange is in love with Jacques=97but all Jacques knows of his parentage is a mysterious tattoo on = his shoulder... This script-in-hand performance of Roussel=92s play, directed by John Beer, with design by Caroline Picard, features an array of Chicago writers and artists. Performers include: James Tadd Alcox, Joshua Corey, Joel Craig, Monica Fambrough, Sara Gothard, Judith Goldman, Samantha Irby, Lisa Janssen= , Jennifer Karmin, Jamie Kazay, John Keene, Jacob Knabb, Francesco Levato, Brian Nemtusak, Travis Nichols, Jacob Saenz, Larry Sawyer, Suzanne Scanlon, Jennifer Steele and Nicole Wilson.

Dandelion seeks submissions of work from artists wh= o are experimenting with our relationship to technology and computers in ACTIVE ways =AD through kinetic, digital, interdisciplinary, interactive, poetic practices. The MACHINE invites you to consider how writing, and the genres of writing are translated and re-mediated by the internet and new technologies in the post-print movement. Artists are producing a wealth of online texts, and bodies of work where writing is performed without paper or print. How can science and writing collaborate to redefine genre? What writings are our machines producing and how can we read, and collaborate with them? What doe= s multimedia look like when you combine the materiality of text with the materials of hardware and code? What new codes are we writing to perform collaborations with our machines? Curious about the genus of work we=B9re seeking? =8CRead=B9 a small sampling of our artistic sources of inspiration here: Antonin Artaud / Alva Noto / Aya Natalia Karpinska / Blast Theory / Kurtis Lesick / J.R. Carpenter / Mark Z. Danielewski / Brion Gysin / Thierry Gauthier Dandelion encourages your hybrid experiments and welcomes visual and video work as well as text-based submissions.

With a huge assist from Kevin Killian, I was able to get this document copied, and Sean and I transcribed parts of it, and wrote an introduction and afterword for the publication. It's a very exciting find, only exists in Spicer's handwriting, and as our essays explain, helps provide an important context for Spicer as translator and medievalist. Link to the series is here: http://www.centerforthehumanitiesgc.org/publications And if you happen to be in New York, my colleague Sean will be speaking about the project at the CUNY chapbook festival tomorrow evening: http://www.centerforthehumanitiesgc.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19 best, David ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

A few possible perspectives for the study of the villain are: * The villain as the =93natural=94 being * The villain as the sacrificial other * The villain as a figure that defies representation * The villain as hero * The villain as non-existent * The villain as a personification of evil * The villain as Doppelganger Diverse approaches to this topic are welcomed and actively encouraged.

But you'd never guess it from Adam Fieled's piece.

One got the sense that grunge had been tamed by the industry it purported to reject. Hip hop, on the other hand, in embracing commercialism (at least later) has been able to subvert the fame it claims to want to be a part of. One example of this is when we look at lyrics and the "tameness" of the music. Hip hop has grown more complex, more varied and much more genre-expanding than it was in the 90s. This isn't to say that many of the artists now weren't at work 10-20 years ago (Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jay Z, all were); perhaps hip hop has been allowed to mature in ways grunge never could.

Severance Songs, winner of the 2008 Dorset Prize from Tupelo press, is a sequence of unrhymed sonnets, written in the wake of 9/11. The poems live in the contraditions that exist within sardonic lyricism and dark humor. A celebration of the sonnet, the reading of the new book of poetry by Corey will be interwoven by readings of new and classic sonnets by a cavalcade of Chicago poets. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

The album will be re-created in a* multi-media release event* at* The powerHouse Arena* on* Monday, March 21 (7 pm)* featuring* live performances*by Worden, Moose, Manchon, as well as readings of the poetry in the original Turkish by Ziyalan with English readings of the translations by Worden, and a video for each of the albums songs (*The Sea and Invisible*), produced by Eyuboglu (available online only). To round out the evening, Worden and Manchon will perform a few extra tunes of their own, not included on the album. Tickets are $10 at the door. www.powerhousearena.com *Letters to Distant Cities*, released* Tuesday, March 29*, is a spoken-word album bookended by two original songs: My Brightest Diamond's* The Sea* and Clare and the Reasons'* Invisible*.* The Sea* opens the album and cracks th= e door to a mythical realm, into which Shara Worden enters and embodies the female persona of Ziyalan's poetry, speaking the texts of 24 poetic snapshots, connected by Rob Moose's incidental reflections and intervention= s for violin. After the poetry,* Invisible* closes the album, drifting wistfully to its bittersweet conclusion. Says fellow poet Murat Nemet-Nejat: "In Ziyalan's work one can see the impulse of the Turkish language in the 20th Century to represent a social reality beyond national borders. It points to the prophetic nature of Turkish poetry becoming a medium for a global sensibility - the psychic dislocations globalism creates in consciousness." An excerpt from* Letters to Distant Cities*: She'd save tarred puppies, write letters to distant cities, run ahead, keep her eyes peeled for them, whisper to every tree, every shadow along the sidewalks, along the streets, try to collect the scattered stars every time her head bumped into the Milky Way. In addition to the CD, the album package includes a set of 24 pristine keepsake cards, comprising a photographic illustration for each of Zilayan'= s poems collected on the recording. The images were captured by project visionary Murat Eyuboglu with model Jamie Ansley. Designer Adam Frint bring= s musical, poetic, and photographic elements together, creating a physical connection to the album's sense of memorabilia. *M O R E A B O U T T H E A R T I S T S* Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist* SHARA WORDEN* spearheads the indie-folk band My Brightest Diamond. With a background in classical music, Worden studied opera at the University of North Texas and Manhattan School of Music, and studied composition with composer/performer Padma Newsome (Clogs, The National). My Brightest Diamond involves elements of rock and classical music, with the combined sound of instrumentalists Rob Moose, Ear= l Harvin, Chris Bruce, and Zac Rae. Their first record,* Bring Me the Workhorse*, was released on Asthmatic Kitty Records in 2006. Their sophomor= e album,* A Thousand Shark's Teeth*, was released in 2008. Recent years have found Worden collaborating as much as songwriting. Last October, New Amsterdam's own Sarah Kirkland-Snider released the song cycle,*Penelope *, featuring Worden on vocals. On the rock side, Worden sang the role of Th= e Queen for The Decemberists' rock opera,* The Hazards of Love*. She was hear= d on Sufjan Stevens' albums* Illinois* and* The Age of Adz*, dueted with Davi= d Byrne for his album* Here Lies Love*, and she sang in Padma Newsome's chamber ensemble, Clogs, for* The Creatures in the Garden of Lady Walton*. Worden also performed with Bryce and Aaron Dessner in* The Long Count*theater production at BAM. Clare and the Reasons, fronted by collaborators* CLARE MULDAUR MANCHON* and Olivier Manchon, is a Brooklyn-based indie-pop outfit started in 2005. Live= , they have a steady list of contributors, with a host of acoustic instrument= s -- cellos, violas, things to hit, kazoos, baby kotos, saws, recorders, and = a bass drum that says "Kaboom" on it. Clare and the Reasons deliver an assortment of meticulously constructed and arranged songs. Walking the line between musical maturity and sophistication and primal, childlike musical instincts, Clare and the Reaons floats between both worlds, comfortably. After two years touring their first album, "The Movie," which included contributions from Van Dyke Parks and Sufjan Stevens, they announced the arrival of their sophomore album this past fall. "Arrow" (Frog Stand Records) features a special guest appearance from Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, and has gathered a swarm of acclaim since its release. A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music in violin performance,* ROB MOOSE* has established an exciting and eclectic presence as performer, arranger and conductor in the rapidly changing atmosphere of contemporary music. Since joining Antony and the Johnsons in 2005, Moose has also toured with Sufjan Stevens, Beth Orton and Duncan Sheik, and recorded with Vampire Weekend, Grizzly Bear, Arcade Fire, The National, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Rufus Wainwright and Marianne Faithfull. In 2009, he co-arranged and music directed* The Long Count*, a multimedia song cycle commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival. Elsewhere, his arrangements have been performed and recorded by Antony, Loudon Wainwright, Punch Brothers, Elizabeth and the Catapult and Bon Iver. Moose recently performed for President Obama on national television, playing guitar and violin in support of Renee Fleming's album, "Dark Hope." *MUSTAFA ZIYALAN*'s poetry, short fiction, essays and poetry translations have appeared in many literary periodicals, anthologies (most recently in*New European Poets *) and also in book form.* Istanbul Noir*, an anthology of short fiction he co-edited with Amy Spangler, was published by Akashic Books in 2008. His most recent volume of poetry,* Land of Smiles/G=C3=BCl=C3=BCmsemeler =C3=9C= lkesi*, a bilingual collection of poetry with original woodcuts by Vladimir Ginzburg, was published in 2009.* Su Kedileri* (Water Cats), a collection of short fiction, came out in 2005,* Yak=C5=BElacak Kentlerden* (From Cities Slated = to Burn), a collection of travel writing with original photography by Murat Ey=C3=BCbog=CB=9Clu, in 2007,* Manhattan'da S=C2=B8iir Konus=C2=B8malar=C5= =BE* (Poetry Talks in Manhattan), a collection of writings on poets and poetry, in 2009. He was born at the Black Sea coast of Turkey and worked as a general practitioner and coroner in a rural Anatolian village. He now lives and practices psychiatry in New York. He has worked with torture victims, inmates, children abusing volatile substances, pathological gamblers, and persons with HIV. *MURAT EYUBOGLU* started photography as an apprentice to Josephine Powell i= n Istanbul. After attending the Academy of Fine Arts, School of Photography (Istanbul), he transferred to Bennington College, Vermont, where he studied music, literature and philosophy. He lived in Paris and returned to New Yor= k to pursue studies in music history. His dissertation was on the utopian aspects of Gustav Mahler's works.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit *An Invitation to Attend E-Poetry 2011**!* If you are interested in the emerging edge of language-informed arts practice, whether as a poet, writer, artist, media innovator, scholar, teacher, performer, or in any other disciplines, E-Poetry offers a context for practice and analysis that can't be found anywhere else in the world. For its tenth anniversary, E-Poetry has been brought back to Buffalo, a central and accessible location for its activities. It will provide a mix of practices, with the emphasis on emerging practices in multiple disciplines that find themselves embedded or even just on the edge of the digital. It will convene a celebratory (in the triumphant spirit of preceding historic poetry festivals) and thought-filled gathering of 150 artists, writers, and scholars from 40 countries -- a diversity and culturally rich offering that won't be found elsewhere. Please attend: *E-POETRY 2011 International Digital Language | Arts Festival /TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL/** *May 18-21, 2011 University at Buffalo http://epc.buffalo.edu/e-poetry/2011/ Web registration now available! Specially-priced advance registration offered during March 2011 only! http://epc.buffalo.edu/e-poetry/2011/register.html E-Poetry is the definitive innovative digital language arts festival in the world. With its emphasis on poetics, performance, engaged arts, experimentation, and scholarly and artistic conversation, and with previous events in West Virginia, London, Paris, and Barcelona, it has defined international digital literature poetics today. /The tenth anniversary festival of E-Poetry 2011 is set to launch a new epoch in digital literature. E-Poetry, at its inception, was the first to map this field. E-Poetry has been here since the beginning and continues even stronger today. It has set out to organize the 2011 festival as a culmination of the first ten years as well as a model for future years -- advancing the conversation of the digital into the engaged scene of creative and scholarly activity that the field promises./ With its sponsoring organization, the Electronic Poetry Center (http://epc.buffalo.edu), often recognized as the world's first and preeminent Web-based poetry resource, E-Poetry will define the arts as emerging practice in an interdisciplinary, aesthetically complex, and materially delightful manner never before seen. We invite you to be there. The Festival will take place from Weds. May, 18th to Saturday May 21st, 2011, with special conference events on Tues, May 17 and its Wednesday "Scientific Committee" panels. Please come for as long as you can. The cost of visiting Buffalo is quite reasonable. We will be glad to help with suggestions for your travel and accommodation. E-Poetry offers the chance for a prolonged immersion into considerations of the workings and practices of digital poets, scholars, and artists. Buffalo is a location, fervent with the great powers of the Niagara rushing through the tranquil, flat, maple forested countryside of Western New York, where we can come together, apart from the hustle of a devouring city, to meet as artists and thinkers. It is a location that offers celebration and contemplation. It is a quiet place but a location within New York State's largest university, its programs direct descendants of Black Mountain College, Language Poetry, various iterations of the Poetics Program, Media Study at Buffalo, and the Electronic Poetry Center. Buffalo is a prime leader in the U.S. in the innovative digital, visual, sound, and language arts.

It has some of his line drawing asemics, and his nebulous decalcomania. This is a great general survey of the instincts of an asemic master at work and honing the tip of his pen. "Zen calligrapher" is what I think of this grand author's expressions, as they soar overhead and land in a field of ink and honey. This is the real thing! Get a hold of it and learn. =97Michael Jacobson Writing OR drawing=97either category sets up a filter through which we interpret what we are seeing. But if these pages of marks on paper are allowed to exist in the un-coded, uncultivated, lawless area BETWEEN writing and drawing, we have nothing to rely on but our own perceptions. These visual gestures=97non-coercive, un-systematized, a-centric=97I myself have been looking at them with great interest as visual indications of sound. =97Rosaire Appel Yes, the traces and signs and glyphs by Tim Gaze presented here, come from the wide realm of the "Asemic." This term is common in the area of verbovisual poetry. It deals with graphic works resembling alphabetic writing, but being "other," unknown, illegible too. We can focus on this: Any writer, anyone, can really be the one with no (political, social, economic) power. One can really realize and actually grasp, today, what's the meaning of the term "loss" (loss of influence, for example): the alphabetical dominion over men is still strong, but on the other hand the writers have definitely lost their power, and they often get rid of any kind of power, not to mention that they can intentionally deprive their speech of politically oriented superstructures, and of the instinct of prevailing over others' speeches. This means that Baudelaire's and Deleuze's heritage has become the water we can definitely choose to swim in. But there's a further step consisting in the neverending production of series of signs with faint resemblance rather than reference to any already known alphabetical series of signs. In Tim Gaze's work this kind of resemblance shows brilliant evidences of how the folded parts of our minds work, in making themselves unknown, and still meaningful. It's like making shadows without starting from "things + sun," or resisting to the action of the light over the objects. =97Marco Giovenale From the Introduction What are the pieces that writing is made of? I hope these shapes & signs can speak to people around the world, no matter what kind of writing they were taught as children. Our ancient, pre-literate ancestors saw such complex patterns as their own fingerprints, markings on plants & animals, geological formations, ripples on flowing water, clouds, & conglomerations of flotsam & jetsam deposited by wind & water. I would suggest that these are much more powerful roots of writing than Sumerian cuneiform, which mainstream Western history says is the beginning of true writing. About Tim Gaze I live in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, between outer suburbia & the beginnings of the countryside. Walking is important to me.

The presentation will begin at 1:00 p.m. on St. Patrick's Day, Thursday, March 17th, 2011 at the CCHS Museum, 406 Cloquet Avenue, Cloquet, Minnesota, 55720. This presentation was first given at the IMRAM Festival in Dublin, Ireland last September. Describing the script for "Irish Voices on the Minnesota Prairie," Liam Carson, director of the IMRAM Festival, said "poetic, beautiful, moving, simple, evocative. The presentation was a wonderful experience!" And the Irish writer Gabriel Rosenstock described the script as "very moving." IRISH VOICES, PRAIRIE VOICES "I remember herds of buffalo on the prairie, beautiful Indian ponies ... the coyotes howling at dusk." So speaks one voice in S=E9amas Cain=92s dramatic evocation of what he calls "Irish Voices, Prairie Voices." Drawing on his own conversations with grandparents and other relatives, S=E9amas Cain=92s narrative probes deep into family, land and language. Through their plain but poetic voices, history is relived. Here Irish settlers learn from Indians "where strawberries grew and which birds were most delicious to hunt." Here is Thomas Burke, kinsman of Edmund, fleeing to the Irish Colonies of Minnesota in 1878. We are brought from the time of the wagon trains to the day electricity arrived in the village of Murdock in 1922. Along the way we hear stories of the Molly Maguires, the communitarian Connemaras and their vision of creating a Gaelic utopia on the prairies of western Minnesota; of fiddlers and harmonica players at dances; of droughts, crop failures, snowstorms, and swarms of locusts. "Irish Voices, Prairie Voices" is an extraordinary journey into a haunting past. Actors will re-create in English the words and stories of S=E9amas Cain=92s grandparents and their cousins and friends, whilst Cain himself will narrate. A unique insight into an almost forgotten history, "Irish Voices on the Minnesota Prairie" is a deeply personal odyssey.

Join us as we explore the kaleidoscopic history of the sonnet, from Petrarchan to Oulipian, from blazon to flarf and beyond. We'll also write our own sonnets - using, throwing out, and writing our own rules of engagement with the "little song." The sonnet is dead. Long live the sonnet! Seating is limited, but there are still openings in the class - sign up at the TNSOW website: http://tnsow.com/sonnet-workshop/ Here's the description: Sonnet Workshop (Mar 15 =96 Apr 12, 2011) Instructor: Camille Martin Duration: 5 weeks (Tuesdays), 15 March =96 12 April 2011, 6:30 =96 8:30pm Capacity: 12 students Combining a historical overview of the sonnet form (or as Anselm Hollo once called it, the sonnet state of mind) with creative writing assignments, this course offers students the opportunity to experience the sonnet as a traditional and experimental network of possibilities. Through a series of Reading/Writing sessions focused around various =93sonnet-inspired models,=94 participants will deepen their appreciation of the evolution of the sonnet across history as well as generate their own sonnets, investigating relationships between the rubrics of tradition and form and content and meaning, while continuing the momentum of the =93little song=92s=94 enduring popularity.

How much is a billion dollars? How can you visualize an amount of money so high? Here is one way to think about it: The median household income in the US is around $29,000, meaning half of us make less and half make more. If you make $29,000 a year, and don?t spend a single penny of it, it will take you 34,482 years to save a billion dollars.... Some things you could buy if really wealthy: 1) the Maybach car the Landaulet model, costs $1 million. (Rush Limbaugh, who has 5 homes in Palm Beach, drives a cheaper Maybach 57 S -- but makes up for it by owning 6 of them.). Your $1 billion will buy you a thousand Maybach Landaulets 2) Some hotels charge $20-30,000 per night. A billion dollars will buy you a $20,000 room every night for 137 years 3) Some people spend as much as $200 million or more on a single yacht. You can buy ten $100 million yachts with a billion dollars 4) There are approximately 15,000 private jets registered in the US according to NBAA. You can pick one up for around $40 million, maybe $60 million for top-of-the-line. Your billion will buy you 25 of these. [etc] So you say to yourself, "I want me some of that. I?d like to place the following order, please.": One Maybach Landaulet for $1 million to drive around in. One $100 million yacht for when I want to get seasick. One Gulfstream G550 private jet for $40 million. One private island for $24.5 million (castle included) for when I want to escape the masses. One $8 million estate for when I have to go ashore and mingle with the masses (but not too close.) One $5 million watch so I can have one. Total: $178.5 million. My change after paying with a billion-dollar bill is a meager $821.5 million. I can still stay in a $20,000 hotel room every night for 112 and 1/2 years. As you see, $1 billion is more than enough to really live it up. Some people today are amassing multiples of billions And the concentration of income and wealth is increasing. The top 1% took in 23.5% of all of the country?s income in 2007. In 1979 they only took in 8.9%. Between 1979 and 2008, the top 5% of American families saw their real incomes increase 73%, according to Census data. Over the same period, the lowest-income fifth (20% of us) saw a decrease in real income of 4.1%. The rest were just stagnant or saw very little increase. http://extremeinequality.org/?page_id=8 Wealth can be inherited and accumulates over the years.... The top 1% owns more than 90% of us combined. In 2007, the latest year for which figures are available from the Federal Reserve Board, the richest 1% of U.S. households owned 33.8% of the nation?s private wealth. That?s more than the combined wealth of the bottom 90 percent. The combined net worth of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans in 2007 was $1.5 trillion. The combined net worth of the poorest 50% of American households (about 150 million people) was $1.6 trillion The top 1% also own 50.9% of all stocks, bonds, and mutual fund assets. The top 10% own 90.3%. Income inequality is actually greater in the United States than it is in Egypt - and this does affect politics. It makes legislation which favours the wealthy and increases inequality, but it also protects the wealthy form the consequences of their profit. The Koch brothers are said to have a net worth of $21.5 billion each. They financed the Tea Party movement and, along with big corporations and other billionaires, they financed the massive assault of TV ads in the midterm elections that helped change the makeup of the Congress. And now Congress is paying them back: Nine of the 12 new Republicans on the panel signed a pledge distributed by a Koch-founded advocacy group ? Americans for Prosperity ? to oppose the Obama administration's proposal to regulate greenhouse gases. Of the six GOP freshman lawmakers on the panel, five benefited from the group's separate advertising and grassroots activity during the 2010 campaign. Republicans on the committee have launched an agenda of the sort long backed by the Koch brothers. A top early goal: restricting the reach of the Environmental Protection Agency, which oversees the Kochs' core energy businesses. see also: http://toomuchonline.org/ http://www.cbpp.org/research/index.cfm?fa=topic&id=36 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/component/option,com_issues/Itemid,22/issue,18/lang,en/task,view_issue/ UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.

In Arrieta= =92s *triskelion, tiger moth, tangram, thyme*, language flows between forms and fascinations sharing the elusive nature of sand, bear, and canyon and the infinite enigmas posed by modern physics, the green dragon, and the infinit= e reversals of Chinese puzzles. Arrieta=92s poems are overlapping spheres, vanishing points, circles that reflect her fascination with modern cosmology, aesthetics, and the spirituality of language. =97 *Andrea Moorhe= ad* I have long followed Marcia Arrieta=92s poems, impressed by her minimalist approach to language itself, her quiet southwest surrealism=97reminiscent a= t times of the visionary artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe. Her poems are compelling, marked by deft and abrupt turnings, a total mastery of paratactic construction, and a dazzling sense of the landscape of the heart played against that insistent inner voice. Here, at last, they are gathere= d together, a gift well worth having, a quiet visionary voice which surprises and invites the reader to be attentive. =97 *David Cope* Geometry defines symptoms of reality. Its elements hold in common a range o= f distances from other presences. In the perpetual imaginary search for probable freshness, what angle offers the most valid view? Marcia Arrieta= =92s book enacts philosophical inquiry into tangible experience, by way of a series of inductive expeditions. At the intersection of multiple wavelength= s are poetic choices of mosaic segments that the poet sculpts into a metonymi= c actuality that far transcends harmonics of the selves. =97 *Sheila E. Murph= y* Marcia Arrieta=92s long overdue first volume of poems charts the cycles of language within consciousness by plotting the recurrence of concepts and ideas and of certain words which, planet-like, wander among them. She has, through a process of extreme selectivity, crafted these poems-in-motion, poems on the outer reaches of philosophical thought. These poems are not fo= r the mentally inert, but one willing to =93staple the head to the sea=94 wil= l receive much delight and intellectual stimulation from them. =97 *Celestine Frost* The poems in this book are complex, "intellectually emotional" tangles of observations. Rather than through commas, these short =97 frequently only o= ne noun long =97 observations are related to each other through periods, line breaks, empty spaces. They die out instant to instant. But they're also connected by Marcia Arrieta's acute attention, the fingerpointingtothemoon-like unpredictability of her imagery. She is a wonderful observer, for whom the naming process and the names, the things and the silhouettes of their distances, "the literary symbol."* */period/ and "sea. clay. tree." belong to the same landscape, where "between the absolute." /period/ "the door is partially open." =97 *M=E1rton Kopp=E1ny* The full catalog of Otoliths books can be found at The Otoliths Storefront =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.

Although arguably the most wildly influential USAmerican poet of the past forty years, Bernadette Mayer's work has seldom taken center stage in scholarship and literary histories of the period. This long-overdue celebration of Mayer's life and work will begin to redress this situation, and will consist in equal measures of devoted fandom and rigorous study – of "love" and of "reason." Approaching Mayer as a poet, teacher, Conceptual artist, and small-press impresario, the symposium program brings together a diverse ensemble of contemporary poets, scholars, archivists, and editors to investigate and honor the many dimensions of Mayer's relentless and virtuosic practice. The symposium will crescendo in the evening with a performance by Mayer herself. Critical panels will feature scholars Lee Ann Brown (St. John's University), Stephen Cope (Bard College), Caitlin Newcomer (Florida State University), Deborah Poe (Pace University), Sam Truitt (Station Hill Press), and Joey Yearous-Algozin (UB). A roundtable of contemporary poets discussing their own 'elective affinities' with Mayer will feature CAConrad, Dorothea Lasky, and Brenda Coultas. Full details and symposium schedule: http://english.buffalo.edu/mayersymposium Day program: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., the UB Poetry Collection (420 Capen Hall) Evening reading: 8 p.m., the Karpeles Manuscript Museum (453 Porter Ave) ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

What is so very strong in Meadows' work is its pr= ecision in thought and its power of accrual. I see these texts as sincere = evidence of a parsing intelligence; taking cross-sections of the world at v= arying widths and preparing them (by whatever means required) for explorati= on. This is infinitesimal vision; vision which casts the bonds of the worl= d in bright relief. =20 =97Lance Phillips This book by Deborah Meadows is surprising in its audacity. Few texts can = assemble and recompose themselves like these, through a process: the gaze = (Cubist) takes in the fragment, the splinter, and then their whole. Thus e= ach detail is foreseen, chosen in advance for an aesthetic solution, like a= puzzle setting in the substance of its lines: porous, material, bright, l= iquid. You feel the vision, her way of seeing, and you learn to see that w= hich is different through her angle of subjectivity. A window opening to a= landscape of the mind, of time.

Disembodied I drew CC's picture while he read, he was so impressed by CC's stature & reading skill & of course words. Disembodied I saw someone else read too (named slips him), and found the reading 1)energetic and 2) vastly appreciated by the poet's friends. Disembodied then met Bruce Andrews and had lots of cud to chew. The tribal energy at St. Marks impressed Disembodied I and reminded him of Mad Max movies--all that scrambling, sitting on floors--posing--climbing--it was a SCENE. It also reminded Disembodied of the Monday night readings at the Baltimore Theater Project way back in the 1970's, when Lucille Clifton would arrive late with friends and everyone would stop & say say: "Hi Lucille!" and Lucille would say: "Hi Everybody!" and even give out some hugs to special friends who stood up from sitting on cushions on the floor. Disembodied I had a great time seeing everyone mostly young and sharing energy and co-existing, and believing that poetry really really matters, and that being in love matters (the first reader had a great Chinese (-American?) friend and we could tell from across the room that they were most probably IN LOVE and avant-garde too. (That's a heady combo! Disembodied I experienced that same dizzying mixture years ago!) It was all so great. Disembodied knew that there were folks who would have recognized his name if he had said it, but he didn't say it because he was jet-lagged, modest, and ready to pass out. He greatly appreciated the company of George Quasha and his friend. Shortly thereafter Disembodied saw the horror of the tsunami on CNN and needed to hurry back to Japan asap with his son in tow. All's well, though. Love to all; Disembodied I, recollecting the past and trying to capture a slice of it for Eternity. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

But if a reader responds to the poetry, then how and what does she or he see and hear? "I'm writing to you," the text says in the section called "Lit."

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" This is an idea that I've only shared with one friend, but I'd like to put it out on the List for your consideration: I would like to suggest setting up readings to help fund recovery efforts in Sendai and points north. The earthquake, the tsunami, the radiation problem--the really terrible thing is that those that are most devastated are the most exposed-- The money could be donated to the Red Cross of Japan. Two venues that immediately suggest themselves: St. Marks and Beyond Baroque, but others. Also the idea of an anthology--a book that could be sold and the proceeds donated-- I'm in no position to publish anything--though I wish I could--but certainly feel that the effort would be a worthy one. CNN has moved on to cover yet another tragedy while Japan's continues to grow. Sendai, and Hanamaki, and points north is poetry territory--lots of poets, fine poets, are from there. I don't know how many have died. Just an idea from Disembodied I Back Channel or front channel responses welcome. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Although arguably the most wildly influential USAmerican poet of the past forty years, Bernadette Mayer's work has seldom taken center stage in scholarship and literary histories of the period. This long-overdue celebration of Mayer's life and work will begin to redress this situation, and will consist in equal measures of devoted fandom and rigorous study =96 of "love" and of "reason." Approaching Mayer as a poet, teacher, Conceptual artist, and small-press impresario, the symposium program brings together a diverse ensemble of contemporary poets, scholars, archivists, and editors to investigate and honor the many dimensions of Mayer's relentless and virtuosic practice. The symposium will crescendo in the evening with a performance by Mayer herself. Critical panels will feature scholars Lee Ann Brown (St. John's University), Stephen Cope (Bard College), Caitlin Newcomer (Florida State University), Deborah Poe (Pace University), Sam Truitt (Station Hill Press), and Joey Yearous-Algozin (UB). A roundtable of contemporary poets discussing their own 'elective affinities' with Mayer will feature CAConrad, Dorothea Lasky, and Brenda Coultas.

The general idea of the panel is to present critical reflections on figures (preferably less studied figures) who reflected upon the state of things contemporaneously -- who wrote about the emergent Modernism in poetry as it was emerging. We have one paper on William S. Braithwaite and *The Poetic Year 1916*, and a second paper on Alfred Kreymborg's representations, in * Others* and others, of the then newer poetries. I'm looking for a third paper along those same lines. I'll also need someone to chair the panel. Back channel with ideas, please. Thanks! -- Aldon L.

Classes are facilitated by Margaret Christakos. For readers and writers alike. A powerful way to reconnect with poetry, to build bridges into the contemporary poetry scene, and to deepen critical engagement with poetry. Many writers and literature buffs attend this course; the class is equally welcoming to people with a beginner=92s level = of experience with reading poetry. Adults from 18-1000 years welcome. Approximately half the registrants in any given session have taken previous sessions of the class; and each session we welcome newcomers. The course ma= y count towards a certificate in creative writing, or be taken for pleasure. Registrants compose readerly critical responses to books weekly, and write = a final =93Intertext=94 reflecting on two or more of the books studied, for presentation. Registrants also take turns in small groups introducing guest= s and bringing along snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to produce a congenia= l social environment for each evening. Influency: A Toronto Poetry Salon has run twice annually from Fall 2006. In each session, 8 accomplished poets working in distinctive styles will appea= r as both guest readers and peer critics in this unique lecture-reading serie= s hosted by Margaret Christakos. Each poet=92s critique of a colleague=92s wo= rk will be followed with a reading by the poet under discussion. A group discussion led by Christakos will follow. Students will accumulate critical vocabulary to discuss more fluently the divergences of approach, motive, process and product typical of Toronto=92s multitraditional literary cultur= e. The 8-book package under discussion will be available in class for $130. Register a week prior to course beginning if possible to facilitate smooth running of a complex course! Note this spring=92s session is 9 in-class meetings, with an extended evening on May 25 at an off-campus location. The course has also spawned a fledgling online magazine calledwww.influencysalon.ca; please visit to see some of the essays and responses presented at some of our earlier classes.

Of course I don't take poetry seriously! I have more respect for it than that. Look how accommodating it is! Even on a dedicated poetics list, we have such different understandings. Some, like you perhaps, consider poetry matter of writing. Others, like me perhaps, consider poetry informed but not defined by medium or technology. It's huger than that. So I have no problem seeing poetry in fashion or soccer, in a gesture or a breath. And of course I absolutely understand apparel designers as artists. Furthermore, apparel design in itself is an art form but also poetry, promiscuous as it is, may crowd in as a companion art. One of the best students I ever had was a consummate designer, musician, and sound poet. Your poetry sounds exacting. The kind where seriousness is proven by priso= n sentences. My poetry is the biggest joke in the world, even bigger than that. And of course I expect poets to be dandies. And even when they're not, I expect them to be manic about grey or lint. I expect poets to care deeply about pencils, brands of notebooks, I expect them to cherish fetishes. Of course *I* do. I would be happy to spend the entire day contemplating a color. I hope tha= t means I'm not serious. I hardly ever am luxurious like that. I get a kick out of Frank and his tight pants. And if Oscar goes to jail I bet he misses his duds. I know words are blazingly potent and can land a poet in a heap of trouble. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy a red dress! Clothes can be armor. Clothes can be talismen (if that's a word). The prohibition of women's voices in poetry or the agora or on stage has been s= o pervasive in all cultures for so long that the pairing *woman poet* heaves with uneasiness. Now here they are in the market-place identifying as poet= s and modeling clothes too. Is* dressing up* just too much? The woman poet should wear a man's suit? Let's have the men poets in dresses! That would be fun + not at all seriou= s (just like women poets in dresses I guess). Or is the problem that they're in the market-place, but not for sale? What are the specific uneasinesses here? I don't doubt there are uneasinesses. *What does what one wears have to do with how good a poet they are?* A lot! What does the apartment one rents have to do with writing *The Bridge*? Or the green carnation one wears to do with publication? Or the dark cloak and tricorn hat to do with "Poetry." *Does a student of yours write better poems on a day she or he is fashionably dressed?* Possibly. Thought the best poems are written in bed. *What does a woman (or man) poet modeling clothes have to do with the quality of their writing, or their writing at all?* What does anything have to do with anything? That's the business of metaphor. *Perhaps young people who want to be poets should get jobs in the Garment District to learn their craft?* I will consult Maria Damon + Jen Bervin on this. *If you don't take poetry seriously (I'm assuming you're being sarcastic here) why bother?* I am never sarcastic + seldom argumentative. Hence the hard time I'm havin= g here. How could I (a pea) take poetry (a banquet) seriously? It doesn't make sense. *As for women being persecuted. Yes, of course they are, in many countries, including this one, in states in which Republicans are in power.* That's quite a reduction. *Do we fight this with our clothes, or with our words?* If we are to fight, I think body armor is the way to go. Or we (women) could do the old trick of terrifying warriors by stripping off. Hold on there are websites for that .... I hope someone else weighs in on Joel's and David Orr's critiques of the * Oprah* poets. I know delicious critiques are forming on *Delirious Hem* an= d elsewhere, i.e., Kate Durbin and Becca Klaver's call for *Seam Ripper: Women on Textual and Sartorial Style*, and Sandra Simonds' activist * Sweatshop* project.

For them, a messianic idea of = history is not one in which we wait for the Messiah to come, end = history, and redeem humanity, but instead is a paradigm for historical = time in which we act as though the Messiah is already here, or even has = already come and gone. What is so difficult about Agamben's use of the = term messianic is how radically it is to be distinguished from the = apocalyptic. Agamben says that to understand "messianic time" as it is = presented in Paul's letters "one must first distinguish messianic time = from apocalyptic time, the time of the now from a time directed towards = the future" (LAM, 51). To this he adds, "If l had to try to reduce the = distinction to a formula, I would say that the messianic is not, as it = is always understood, the end of time, but the time of the end" (LAM, = 51). The model of time corresponding to this idea is one that no longer = looks for its decisive moment in a more or less remote future, but = instead finds it in every minute of every day, in this world and in this = life; and it is through such expressions as "dialectics at a standstill" = and "means without end" that the two thinkers aim to return our gaze = from the distant future to the pressing present."
