The symposium will be held in New York City in spring 2012, to coincide wit= h the appearance of Bursts of Light: The Collected Later Poems of William B= ronk. Papers from the conference will be the basis for a collection of essays to = be published by Talisman House. The talks and readings making up the symposium will be recorded and then st= reamed on the Internet from a dedicated website. While it is expected that established poets and scholars will take part in = this symposium, younger poets, critics and scholars are very strongly encou= raged to make presentations. How William Bronk can be read in our current t= ime is a concern of this event. ABSTRACTS OF 1-2 PAGES SHOULD BE SENT TO: Edward Foster, TalismanEd@aol.com and Burt Kimmelman, Kimmelman@njit.edu. ABOUT WILLIAM BRONK William Bronk was one of the foremost poets of the twentieth century. His w= ork has been praised widely. The attention is remarkable given that he spen= t most of his life secluded in Hudson Falls, New York and abjuring literary= politics, often turning down requests for readings and the like. Neverthel= ess, he did receive the American Book Award (the year before it became the = National Book Award) and the Lannan Prize; and he did read an occasional po= em at Governor Mario Cuomo's first inauguration. The Governor's invitation = came not merely because the Borough of the Bronx was named after Bronk's an= cestor who farmed a good deal of that land. In the 1970s and 1980s two prominent scholarly journals devoted entire issu= es to discussions of Bronk's poetry and essays. In 1998 the first critical = book on Bronk appeared, which was then followed by another two years later,= and more since then, all by prominent scholars of American poetry. Major e= ssays on Bronk continue to appear regularly in journals. William Bronk's work is known for its evocations of the New York landscape,= as well as for its meditations on the ancient Incan and Mayan cultures, wh= ich were prompted by his travels through Latin America. Yet Bronk is most k= nown, and admired, for his inquiries into the nature of reality and knowing= . Paul Auster once wrote of his work (in the Saturday Review, once Bronk ha= d begun to attract a lot of attention): "Bronk's poetry stands as an eloque= nt and often beautiful attack on all our assumptions, a provocation, a monu= ment to the questioning mind." The value of Bronk's work is still well known among older poets and scholar= s, yet there is a profound need for a younger readership. Early on, Bronk's= poems appeared in the now famous Black Mountain Review and Origin magazine= s, and he was an important part of the midcentury avant-garde that was memo= rialized in the 1960 anthology The New American Poetry. Yet, as David Clipp= inger's book on Bronk documents, he was removed from the anthology at the e= leventh hour because its editor, Donald Allen, couldn't fit his work into a= ny of the "schools" of poetry he had concocted for the publication. Neverth= eless, Bronk is, arguably, key to our understanding of American letters, an= d particularly the post-World War II new poetry and thought. Cid Corman, a = prolific poet and the editor of Origin, acknowledged Bronk as being " the t= hread that binds all the issues together" (quoted from The Gist of Origin).= The fact that Bronk was the final poet cut from Donald Allen's anthology,= and that Bronk does not appear in the Norton or other widely used antholog= ies today, compels this symposium as a way to put Bronk back before the eye= s of a broader readership, and a conference on his work and life, at this t= ime, might ultimately address a reassessment of the twentieth-century liter= ary canon. Praise for the work of William Bronk: "A work that demands to be read." -Saturday Review * "A brilliant poetry." = -George Oppen (winner of the Pulitzer Prize) * "One of our finest . . . poe= ts." -The New York Times Book Review * "A poet of great distinction." -Smal= l Press Review * "Bronk is an acquired taste. I recommend you acquire it." = -Library Journal * "He is brilliant." -Southwest Review * PLEASE FORWARD THE ABOVE CFP TO OTHER LISTS. =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 teach the literature of these languages at an art school, where I also teach things like poetry and poetics, aesthetics, etc. I think I understand what you are saying about "American Buddhists," but I think that this "look at me" syndrome that you pinpoint may not be so much a matter of American-ness or Buddhist-ness, but rather of poet-ness. Isn't there a lot of "look at me" going on in poetry in general, anywhere? I say this as a person who no longer writes poetry. Now I only translate it. I do not call myself a poet. I call myself a Sanskritist and a translator. There are no [or at least no direct] "look at me" moments when you are a translator, right? Well, anyway, as for me, when I translate, it is not about me. It is about the text. Isn't that attitude kind of Buddhist? A translator is or aims to be a kind of zero, like Buddhist shunyata. Just a thought. George Thompson ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I have a copy somewhere , which I cannot find, of a Hindu poem called "The Shri Khrist Gita." The author's name is of course not mentioned [well, in any case, I don't know it]. In any case, this translates as "The Song of the Lord Christ." It is modelled on the Bhagavad Gita, of course, which means "The Song of the Lord (Krishna)." "Jesus loves me. This I know, because the Bible tells me so." "Krishna loves me. This I know because the Gita tells me so." So, there it is.

If you can stand the horror, there's Shohei Ooka's novel _Fires on the Plain_. Kon Ichikawa's film omits the Christian theme, but it's there in the book. More recently, Theresa Hak Kung Cha's _Dictée_ is an explicitly Catholic reading of its author's life and life history as a Korean. One of the illustrations in the book, for instance, is a picture of the nationalist martyr Yu Guan Soon (1903-1920), known in Korea as "the Joan of Arc of Korea." Another is a photograph of St. Thérèse of Lisieux costumed as St. Joan, and a third is a photograph of a group of Koreans being executed by a traditional Japanese method: crucifixion. One consequence of that imagery and the memories accompanying it is that in South Korea today, thousand-year-old Buddhist temples are being destroyed by fires of unknown origin and almost every village lies in the shadow of a great big church.

Since my own panel was not until 2PM, I had a veritable literary buffet of speakers and panels to sample from. On the Memoir Pane= l listing I noticed Malachy McCourt author of: =E2=80=9CSinging Him My Song= =E2=80=9D and other authors were participating. We had McCourt at the Somerville News Writers= Festival last year=E2=80=94so I wanted to drop by.

McCourt, a fine dramatist in h= is own right, emphasized that the memoir provides freedom to dramatize; it i= s all about impressions; it does not have to be strictly factually accurate= . Lunch was held in the faculty dining room that had a panoramic view of th= e city. The speaker was Nelson DeMille, a popular mystery-action writer, wh= o penned such novels as =E2=80=9CThe Charm School,=E2=80=9D =E2=80=9CThe Go= ld Coast,=E2=80=9D and many others. In his conversation with the audience he recounted his years as a major player on the literary landscape. He was asked by an audience member if he ever was involved with screenwriting in Hollywood. He said, =E2=80=9CWriters get more respect in= New York. Hollywood eats you up. In Hollywood you are simply a writer for hire. You= have very little control of your work." When he worked with Dino de Laurentis on a script, he found that after 6 months and all the various interventions by other writers, etc=E2=80=A6 he didn=E2=80=99t know what = he was writing about. He recalled: "When I got back to New York I felt dirty.

Jerry Gross, the consummate book doctor talked about how editing is more than marking up the page but involves what =E2=80=9Ccould=E2=80=9D be on = the page. He emphasized the creativity of a good editor. Abou, the agent, talked about the importance of the query letter=E2=80=94= it should be short and sweet and to the point.

And yes, I do think it's ex= tremely important and amazing, and I will certainly talk about it as I part= icularly want to address the richness of culturally diverse improvising tra= ditions, and also any ways in which the experimental improvisation scene m= ight have been excluding with regard to gender and race. The editors asked = me to historicise improvising with regard to the text-sound movement whic= h they knew I had written about before. Which connects with what you were s= aying, because I do think text-sound, and the way it was conceptualised in = the 60s-80s, was rather blind with regard to issues to do with gender and= ethnicity, and that critique will be central to my discussion of it. I a= m sure, too, that there will be other contributors to the book who are ex= perts in hip hop , and who will talk about freestyling in detail, especiall= y since one of the editors is African American. Also oral improvisation will only be one of the areas I will be addressing,= the other will be computerised text generation which I see as one of the c= ontemporary evolution of improvised performance. The main text generators/= improvisor I hope to talk about in detail is African American D Fox Harrel= l, whose work is brilliant in the way it uses new technologies to explore = different ways of thinking about ethnicity, the effects of globalisation, a= nd many other cultural issues.

The New Inquiry is delighted to announce the digital debut of REANIMAITON LIBRARY www.reanimationlibrary.org The Reanimation Library is a small, independent Presence Library open to the public at 143 Union St. in Brooklyn, NY. It is a collection of books that have fallen out of routine circulation and been acquired for their visual content. Outdated and discarded, they have been culled from thrift stores, stoop sales, and throw-away piles, and given new life as a resource for artists, writers, cultural archeologists, and other interested parties. For nearly a year, The Reanimation Library has been a destination and resource to the editors of TNI (as seen in our occasional series, "/Lost & Found "/), which is why we are thrilled to announce its availability to all readers at www.reanimationlibrary.org . Search the catalog for bizarre and astonishing visual finds. Some of our favorites are: Encyclopedia of Computers and Electronics (1983) : Introducing Hairdressing (1946) : The Wonders of Living Things (1943) : Drugs (1972) : You can browse more images here . The library continues to seek out collaborative situations with likeminded individuals and organizations. If you are interested in working with the library on a project, please contact library founder Andrew Beccone: andrew@reanimationlibrary.org.

Aug. 5-Tues. Aug. 9. Among the over 50 performers taking part are poets Cara Benson, Charles Borkhuis, Lee Ann Brown, Bruce Covey, Alan Gilbert, Brenda Iijima, Ish Klein, Mark Lamoureux, Tanya Larkin, Douglas Piccininni, Kimberly Ann Southwick, Mary Austin Speaker, and Jill Stengel. Ten days before the event, we'll be putting out the festival issue of Boog City. This issue will feature pieces on some of the performers and a full schedule, illustrated with images of each of the performers. Advertising in the festival issue of Boog City means you will reach more than 3,000 readers, poetry lovers, and small press aficionados throughout the East Village, other targeted areas of lower Manhattan; Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn; as well as bonus distribution at Boog City events. That's an increase of 33.3% over our regular issues for no additional cost. And, since this issue is also a program for the festival, readers will give it a closer read as they check to see who's up later on that day and throughout the festival. Boog City continues to offer our special Small Press Ad Rates. That means when you advertise with us you will save 50% off of our regular display ad rates. * Full Page $250 * Half-Page $130 * Quarter-Page $70 * Eighth-Page $40 Here is a link to our full rate card: http://boogcity.com/ad-rates.pdf As I mentioned in previous emails to you, Boog City focuses on getting the word out about lesser-known artists, be they poets, prose writers, musicians, painters, photographers, or cartoonists. Each month we publish poetry from the likes of Anselm Berrigan, Renee Gladman, Lisa Jarnot, Eileen Myles, Kristin Prevallet, and Edwin Torres, alongside our Urban Folk music section, small press book reviews, political commentary, art, comics, and photographs. We look forward to working with you to bring your message to the local arts community to increase awareness and sales of your publications in the New York area. as ever, David -- David A.

It was a win-win outcome for both. Guaranteed sales to even a small number of University Libraries was often sufficient to subsidize, & thus allow, the publication of a book; & those small purchases eventually created the "great small press collections" that the Libraries now hold & continue, by further purchases, to make even greater.

I don't know how many offers to donate copies of ahadada books come my way--either in the form of people who wish to be sent review copies that later show up in their on-line stores--usually sans review--or in this manner. To everyone out there--First please consider BUYING copies of so-called small press books for your library, your writers conference, your etc. and etc.. That would sorely help the future of new literature and alternative publishing, and help us from going broke pissing postage money into the wind. Or, perhaps you could at least cover postage?

Her first priority is her writing and has lived her life to accommodate this, often at the expense = of financial security. She has been published widely, and has just released = an accomplished collection of poetry titled =E2=80=9CTakes Guts and Years So= metimes.=E2=80=9D (NYQ Books). Doug Holder: You lived near the World Trade Center when it was bombed in 2001. How did this tragic event affect your writing? Linda Lerner: Oh, it definitely did. I had no experience of war like most= people in New York. And it felt like I was in a war zone. And for the fir= st time I had an idea what people must go through to see everything destroye= d: homes destroyed=E2=80=94people crying in the street. I think it gave me a= much broader perspective. My father was born in Russia and escaped at one poin= t because of the Pogroms against the Jews. He often spoke of what it was li= ke to be driven out of his home. Now I knew what it felt like. DH: After 9/11 you were part of that tragic diaspora. You lived in the Chelsea Hotel for a while, right? LL: Yeah. The day it happened I was teaching a class at the New York City= College of Technology and in the middle of the class the sirens went off.= They always go off in Manhattan=E2=80=94you don=E2=80=99t think anything = of them=E2=80=94it is part of the norm. And then a student came in late and said a plane hit the Wor= ld Trade Center. This was a student who was always late, so I figured it was= a great story=E2=80=94excuse. But the siren didn=E2=80=99t stop and then so= meone rushed in to tell us what happened. They made us leave the building. I couldn=E2=80=99= t go back home to Brooklyn because the bridges were closed. So a bunch of us spent = the night at a colleague=E2=80=99s apartment=E2=80=94sleeping on the floor. W= e called hotels, but they wouldn=E2=80=99t take us. The Chelsea had a room, and I was ther= e for a couple of weeks. It is a wonderful place=E2=80=94with such a rich literar= y and artistic history. I have a long poem about my experience. DH: You have been long associated with the New York Quarterly which published your new collection =E2=80=9CTakes Guts and Years Sometime.=E2=80= =9D The Quarterly is now run by Raymond Hammond. Can you tell us a bit about the magazine, = and your history with it? LL: Yes. NYQ started their imprint in 2009. This was the late William Packard=E2=80=99s idea. He was the longtime editor before Hammond but he = got sick. He couldn=E2=80=99t put out the magazine anymore. Hammond has done a wond= erful job with the Quarterly=E2=80=94he made it his personal project. When I got out of college in the 70=E2=80=99s, my background in literatur= e stopped around 1950. I knew I had to do something=E2=80=94someone suggested a poe= try class with William Packard at The New School. So I took two classes with him. O= ne was a poetry class, one was literature. I never submitted a poem before. = I was new at this, but I gave him a poem. He didn=E2=80=99t think it was a = masterpiece (Laugh). I couldn=E2=80=99t take criticism at the time and I never submit= ted another. But I stayed in the class and learned a lot about poetry. And th= en I started helping out with the magazine. When I started contributing a fe= w years later he started to take my work. I interviewed Hayden Carruth for = one issue. Carruth was a fascinating man. Absolutely brilliant. He smoked non-stop, popped sleeping pills, drank a lot. I was really nervous about = the interview because at one point when I started it he said, =E2=80=9CThat=E2= =80=99s a stupid question.=E2=80=9D But as the interview went on it worked out very well. I love the magazine especially its emphasis on craft and craft interviews= . DH: I read somewhere that you said you never compromised for a paycheck. = Can you explain? LL: I never let a job take over my entire life. I always had time to writ= e. I wound up with a series of college teaching jobs that left me with time = to write. In the end I may pay for it when I get really old. I never got involved in the politics of a job. I try to do a good job, but I always h= ave to have time to write. It=E2=80=99s hard out there meeting NYC rents, etc= =E2=80=A6 DH: As a daughter of immigrants (Your father was from Russia) did this gi= ve you outsider status or a different view of contemporary American society?= LL: In all honesty it wasn=E2=80=99t until father died in 1985, did I sta= rt to identify more with him. As a child I was embarrassed by him, by his accen= t, his lack of education, by his old fashioned ways. I guess after he died I= drew closer to him because he was not around to argue with. It was very h= ard for a bohemian artist child like me to deal with an old world father. DH: What steered you to this sort of boho/arist/poet lifestyle? LL; I don=E2=80=99t know to be quite honest. When I grew up I was the odd= person=E2=80=94different. I was always getting in trouble=E2=80=94the bla= ck sheep so to speak. I really wasn=E2=80=99t aware of what I was until I got older. The= rebelliousness was always there. DH: Some of your works deal with gentrification in the city. Do you think= Jane Jacobs=E2=80=99 vision of the city as urban village, with unique com= munities=E2=80=94is long past? LL: I don=E2=80=99t like what has been happening to the cities. First of = all the rents are so high the middle class is moving out. They aren=E2=80=99t abl= e to afford it. I remember a couple of years ago I went down to Little Italy and it didn=E2=80=99t seem like the Little Italy I knew. Where I live in Carol G= ardens in Brooklyn it still retains some of the old world charm, but it is rapidly changing. Gentrification is taking away from the charm and sense of commu= nity. DH: It used to be easier to live the artist=E2=80=99s life. LL; Back in the 70=E2=80=99s for an artist to live. My first apartment wa= s in Greenwich Village. It is very hard now. The economy is bad. When I got ou= t of college there were many jobs you could get. I took a civil service job= as a social worker. Right now many of my friends are rooming together in sma= ll apartments to make a go of it. It=E2=80=99s not like the old days. Young = people are moving home with their parents. A lot of the small bookstores have closed= =E2=80=94we have the big chains and even they are closing. DH: Is the poetry scene still thriving in NYC? LL: Oh yeah. On any given night there are 7 or 8 venues. The scene change= s all the time. Even more so now with all the online venues. DH: Do you think online magazines are as good as print? Does it mean the same thing to be published in both? LL: People say so but I prefer print. But there are some good online magazines. Everything seems to be moving to the virtual world. DH: It=E2=80=99s a brave new world. LL: Yes it is. ***** For more info go to http://www.nyqbooks.org/lindalerner =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.

Thursday, 23 June 2011, at 8:00 p.m., Village Hall, Knightsbridge Retirement Village, in Trim, Ireland. Friday 24 June 2011, at 8:00 p.m., in the Summer Writers' Extravaganza of the kitchen@the museum, Galway, Ireland. Saturday, 25 June 2011, at 9:00 p.m., at Castle Bar in Derry, Northern Ireland. Monday, 27 June 2011, at the =D3 Bh=E9al Reading Series in Long Valley Pub, Cork, Ireland. 1.) Luca Artioli was born in Mantova in 1976, where he still lives. He was the creator and co-founder of the Confraternita dell' "Uva," a group of 25 writers from Mantova, Modena, and Como. He=92s currently a member of the "Movement from the Underground," a literary group for the union of the arts, based in Montichiari (BS). His official website is http://www.lucaartioli.it/ His books are "Fragili Apparenze" (Apparent fragilities), published by TCM Editions, Mantova in 2005; and "Suture" (Sutures), published by Edizioni Fara in 2011. 2.) Fabio Barcellandi was born in Brescia in 1968. He is part of the group of poets and artists that "quickens" the literary meetings at the coffee bar Galeter in Montichiari, where he has performed on numerous occasions, from his tentative beginnings to the latest missives. He is from under the earth. What they say of him is that he walks hand in hand with death, whistling. He has published two collections of poems : "Parole alate" (Winged words), published by Cicorivolta editions 2007; and "Nero, l'inchiostro" (Black Ink), published by Montag editions in 2008. 3.) Andrea Garbin lives and works in the province of Mantova. He has published his poetry as "Il senso della musa" (The sense of the Muse), Aletti 2007; and "Latex," published by Fara in 2009. His short-stories are included in the anthologies "Per natale non esco" (For Christmas I don=92t go out), published by TranseuropaLibri 2008) and "Il rumore degli occhi" (The noise of the eyes), published by Edizioni Creativa in 2009. 4.) Dave Lordan's latest collection is "Invitation to a Sacrifice" (Salmon Poetry 2010) which was called by THE IRISH TIMES "an act of cultural resistance, as brilliant on the page as it must surely be in performance." Eigse Riada theatre company produced his first play, "Jo Bangles," at the Mill Theatre, Dundrum in 2010. Forthcoming are "Assassin for Higher" from Wurm Press in November 2011 and his first collection of short stories "Out of My Head" due out from Salmon Publishing in Summer 2012.

Buffalo, Brown and Yale buy almost all small press poetry books. I believe they have standing orders at SPD. They're all very near Endicott--the books are available in your area. As I suggested backchannel, I would think more useful, and a unique collection, would be putting together a really thorough collection of books published by North Shore presses, and it could probably be done at a modest price. You probably know how fierce the economics of publishing are. Here's the breakdown as I experience it. A 180 page book costs me $3.50 a copy. most copies sell through third parties. Publisher's cut is 25-35%. So, if I price the book at $21 my cut is $5.25 to $7.35. I do manage to sell some at full price, some at various discounts, let's say I average $9.00. That means I've netted after printing costs $5.50. The port gets $2.10 of that--10% of cover price. That leaves $3.40, which has to cover shipping and storage, copies returned damaged, postage, and a great many free copies, for promotion and review. I can continue publishing, but only if I sell a significant portion of my print run. And if I donate work space and all of my labor, including design and typesetting. Some presses survive on grants. Presses that only do a couple of books a year really can't--they're eligible for only tiny grants, too small to justify the considerable labor involved in applying. This is why I get hot under the collar when folks expect freebees for reviews they won't write or that will appear in invisible places, or review outlets that demand payment for running a review. And for special collections that have no earthly reason to exist. Though if you can make a case for Endicott's collection I bet you could get a small grant and buy the books.

Creeley, then teaching at SUNY Buffalo, sat down with a tape recorder and did just that. For years, the tape remained in the vaults of the NC Division of Archives and History, which now houses Duberman's Black Mountain materials. While going through other material from the college last summer, I came across the collection's inventory, and decided to see whether the recording might, after all these years, be rescued from obscure storage. Penelope Creeley kindly wrote the folks at the Archives giving her blessing, and in reasonably short order they provided a digital transcription of the full interview. It was great to hear. And now you can hear it, too. It's featured on Wordplay this week, and you can stream it from the Wordplay Show page at AshevilleFM.org: http://www.ashevillefm.org/wordplay It'll remain on the server for several more weeks, though another show will replace it in the stream next Monday. I'll get back with a link to the mp3 file then.

Have you checked the news lately, or does your maid do that for you since you're apparently a rich man who does not live in a world with a faltering economy. I've also noted that we've helped you become "widely published" and you can't cough up money to help us help you? Your school has a limited budget? I'd say most alternative publishers would say the same thing with a greater purchase on the word "truth". As Ben Franklin says "Fools give feasts and wise men eat them." I can't afford to be a fool and as for your being a wise man, I would suggest that you wise up and help the alternative press. Jess On 6/20/2011, "Doug Holder" wrote: >OK you are old fashioned.

In addition, SPD does a great job of vending to universities. Please check out Ahadada Books there, Joseph, and consider adding our fine books and wonderful authors to your university's collection.

I don=E2=80=99t mind th= e review, as I am fairly detached from the poetry I write. The only quibble= I have with it is that a very unflattering photo of me has been used to go= with it. My hope is that this photo is replaced at some stage with a bette= r one. Here is the review: =20 =E2=80=98Taking the Concept of Meaning-Making by Storm: A Review of =E2=80= =9CCyclones in High Northern Latitudes"=E2=80=99 by Jacquilyn Weeks. =20 http://jacket2.org/reviews/taking-concept-meaning-making-storm =20 Bill Lavender, who published the book, has allowed me to quote his response= to the review. He writes: =20 "There is a lot to argue with in this review. It's weird how it approaches = the real weaknesses of the poem and even analyzes individual points quite s= uccinctly and yet, in the end, embraces the very banality it accuses the po= em of. In a review that counts the number of personal pronouns in the text,= the final judgement boils down to 'I didn't like Cyclones.' =20 What pertains here, finally, is a very naive attitude toward poetic discour= se and the sources of poetic texts. Jacquilyn Weeks accurately counts the p= ronouns in the poem, but fails to count them in the review. Which is to say= she holds an ostensible (and quite distant) ego responsible in the first t= ext while she absolves the very real (and close) ego in the second. But the= problem is that the pronouns of the poem are discursive (meaning, they ari= se from the insistence of language itself, from the text as discourse) whil= e the pronouns of the review are forced, egocentric, paranoid--exactly what= she is (quite mistakenly) criticizing about the poem. =20 I'll illustrate this with a very simple point, the review's inaccuracy at i= ts crucial point of judgement: =20 =E2=80=98The value of any texts' aesthetic to an individual reader is in wh= at the reader chooses (and is able) to connect with in any given moment. Wh= ich is to say that I'm glad I read it, but I didn't like Cyclones. Chris Ma= nsel, Matt Hill, and Bill Lavender loved it.=E2=80=99 =20 The footnote refers us only to Jake Berry's blog, where, we are assured, th= ere are "quotes available." Please, (you) reader, go to Berry's blog and fi= nd the quote that says Bill Lavender loved it.=20 =20 For I never said I loved this poem. When I was a teenager, I loved Keats, a= nd I loved the bartender at the corner bar. But I never loved this poem. In= fact, I hated it, and still do. I hate it because it proves, quite decisiv= ely, that neither readers nor writers make meaning; meaning is made in the = language, by the anonymous force that puts pronouns in our mouths as the pr= iest lays a wafer on the tongue. By the oracular accumulation of a thousand= generations, the discourse that both suffocates and engenders meaning.=20 =20 I still love Keats, just like I love James Wright's cute little ponies. And= I hate Cyclones because it has absolutely nothing to do with that neo-roma= ntic aesthetic which bourgeois feminism seems to have been reduced to." =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.

No. 1 . Hegelian Topics in Aesthetics http://eventalaesthetics.net In an essay on Hegel's aesthetics, Paul De Man quips, .Whether we know it, or like it, or not, most of us are Hegelians and quite orthodox ones at that.. But what does it mean today to be a Hegelian within an environment in which criticism has already deconstructed the institutions and values that make the concept of art possible, and in which new art forms cast into doubt the very ontology of art? The inaugural issue of Evental Aesthetics begins with the premise that Hegelian aesthetics are not only relevant but indispensable for making sense of today.s art and art criticism. We therefore welcome essays that attend both to Hegel's writings and to recent writers (for example, but not limited to, Badiou, Malabou, and Vattimo) who have blazed new trails within Hegelian discourse. We seek not hagiography but incisive, thoughtful reflections - critical or favorable - on Hegel's legacy. For Articles, suggested angles of approach include: Hegel's thoughts on a specific form of art (music, architecture, painting, poetry, etc.) Hegel and abstract art the 'end' of art natural beauty as opposed to that of art the aesthetics of and in Hegel's logic and phenomenology the relationship between art, religion, and philosophy relationships between Hegel's aesthetic theory and earlier or more recent theories the pertinence of Hegel's thought to particular artworks. Other ideas concerning Hegel's relationship with aesthetics are also welcome. Authors of Articles should first submit an abstract, no longer than 500 words, outlining the aims and critical methodologies for the article. The editorial board will review abstracts and extend invitations to selected authors to submit full-length articles (4,000-10,000 words). Invitation to submit is not a guarantee of publication. Collisions for this issue may consist of: Book reviews, addressing new translations of Hegel or new, original monographs on Hegel and/or aesthetics Reactions to artworks that may suggest Hegelian themes. These brief responses may be between 1,000 and 2,000 words. Abstracts for Collisions are not required. Commentaries should address the articles published in this issue. We will begin calling for commentaries after the articles have been selected. Be sure to review our submission requirements, copyright policy, and review procedures. Note that there are separate requirements for each type of submission. Essays that do not meet these requirements will not be considered. Please send your submissions electronically, double-spaced in a legible font, in accordance with The Chicago Manual of Style (footnotes, please).
