MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ugly Duckling Presse would like to introduce you to Emergency INDEX, an annual print publication documenting new performance in the words of its creators. Because performance transcends disciplinary boundaries, INDEX includes performances of every kind, from any genre, made anywhere in the world for any purpose. Each document printed in INDEX will include a written description focused on the problems driving the work and the tactics used to address them, an image of the performance, and information about its dates, locations, and creators. An index of terms shared by the varied contributors will serve to connect geographically or stylistically far-flung works. We are currently seeking documentation of performances created in 2011 to be published in the inaugural volume of INDEX in Spring 2012. We especially welcome political, commercial, scientific, therapeutic, or other works not typically documented as performance.

Since 1996 vispo.com has been the thing I've been working on. Vispo.com is what happens to poetry when the 'page' becomes programmable and the borders between media and arts begin to dissolve in binary acid. And, for the past couple of years, I've been more interested in generative art. There's quite a range of types of work on vispo.com. I try not to repeat myself. However, in January I'm giving three talks. Two in Vancouver BC and one in Seattle. If you're around, I hope you can make at least one of them. Here's info on the talks. FRIDAY JAN 6, 8-10:30pm, HUGO HOUSE (SEATTLE) I'll be giving a short (10 min) talk at Hugo House in Seattle (1634 11th Ave) at an event organized by people involved in 'electronic literature'. I'm one of about ten people giving a short ten min presentation on a work of e-lit. The event is from 8 to 10:30. I'm up third. The other people presenting are Jason Nelson, John Cayley, Aaron Angello/Erin Costello, Ian Bogost, Marjorie Luesebrink, Mark Marino, Nick Montfort, Stephanie Strickland, Brian Kim Stefans, and Rob Wittig. There's also an exhibit of works of 'electronic literature' associated with this event. The exhibit is on display in the Washington Convention Center.

There= are notions in her work of a primordial =DCbermensch, a shadowy figure hid= den within "the collective experiment called mankind." She once said, "I ra= ge against the dark forces within all of us, and the conformity that sicken= s me." Yet she approached her work and life with humor and verve. She emb= raced the absurd, the surreal and the mythological, rubbing them up against= each other with her own unique rhythm and lyricism. Proponents of conventional narrative sometimes criticized her visionary wor= k for its lack of cohesion, a missing red thread; yet Carol was not an exp= erimentalist for its own sake. She sought to discover a voice of reason wi= thin the hubbub of myths and neon road signs; along the way, she broke conv= ention to re-discover, to re-emerge. In her own words: "I don't believe in = rules. I take dictation from the flow of metaphors that surface from my unc= onscious as I write, think of my writing self as a metaphorist." Of her 2010 book Giraffes in Hiding: The Mythical Memoirs of Carol Novak (S= puyten Duvyil), American Book Review observed: " Carol poses metafictional = questions about who or what controls our narratives, and what kinds of powe= r is or is not available through narrative...If only for an instant, the gi= raffes go into hiding, and the minnows emerge." PANK Journal enthused: "Whi= lst reading this unique book, I felt I was deep-sea diving, surrounded by e= xotic and breathtaking words-as-creatures, but mindful too of the murkiness= , sinister and danger that also lurk both under and above water." In an interview in the Canadian literary journal Metazen, she said she had = reached "the overwhelming realization that one must create one's own meanin= g, the isolated self's confrontation of its own short-lived existence, the = significance of being human and humane." She spurned literary prizes, institutionalized creative writing programs an= d all forms of elitism, not only in the arts, but in society in general. I= n her twenty-year career as an appellate and trial lawyer, she gave voice t= o the silenced and marginalized. "Law," she said, "is a white rabbit that = falls into black holes." She told Glasgow poet, Dee Sunshine in an intervi= ew, "The battles were almost always up very steep hills, and I mistrusted a= nd disliked the 'justice' system for various reasons." Nonetheless, she to= ok pride in her legal work, particularly her written motions and appellate = briefs, and won an important federal constitutional action on behalf of vis= ual artists (Bery v City of New York, et al.). Born February 19, 1948, she grew up in Bell Harbor, New York, the single ch= ild of musicologist Saul Novack, Dean of Arts and Humanities at Queens Coll= ege, and Phyllis Novack, librarian. Of her childhood, she once said, "I gre= w up with wonderful music permeating our house like a bouquet of luscious s= cents." She completed her BA at the University of Rochester in East Asian Studies, = moved to Sydney, Australia where she worked as an editor for the Australian= Cosmopolitan, and began publishing her poetry during the seventies. A cha= pbook, Living Alone Without a Dictionary, was published by the University o= f Queensland Press, and her work was included in The Penguin Book of Austra= lian Women Poets. She was the recipient of an Australian Council of the Ar= ts writer's grant, remaining in Australia until 1977. After a traveling in India and Europe, Carol returned to New York City whe= re she received her J.D. from New York Law School in 1983. As an attorney, = she worked first in the Criminal Appeals Bureau of the New York Legal Aid S= ociety and later as a solo practitioner, championing the causes of artists = and the underprivileged. She went on to receive her master's degree in social work (community organi= zing), and teach lyrical fiction writing at The Women's Studio Center in NY= C, returning to the serious pursuit of her own writing in 2004. "The muse = just suddenly reared her jerky head again," she said. From the mid-2000s, she began publishing her gender-bending hybrid metafict= ion- "her little aliens," as she called them-in many journals and anthologi= es, including: American Letters & Commentaries, Exquisite Corpse, La Petite= Zine, LIT, Missippi Review, Notre Dame Review and Caketrain. In 2005 she founded the Mad Hatters' Review, one of the first online journa= ls with a true multimedia approach, marrying literature, film, art and musi= c in an annual collage of some of the most explosive arts on the web. "I e= nvisioned something real flashy and eccentric, experimental, collaborative,= multicultural, playful and even meaningful, in the social change/progressi= ve sense," she told the webzine Web Del Sol. "The name of our annual refle= cts our view of the world as essentially demented and nonsensical, too freq= uently a nightmare or 'non-dream' that needs to be exposed to the light for= what it is, as well as what it is not. However, we, as artists, can also s= ee another side of this world by voyaging into our own unique terrifying an= d joyful wonderlands and sharing our visions with others." Carol curated the successful Mad Hatters' Review reading series at KGB Bar = in New York, and performed herself at many venues in New York City and else= where. After re-settling in Asheville, North Carolina in 2010, she began a= new reading series at The Black College Museum & Arts Center and founded a= non-profit arts organization, MadHat, Inc., which now includes the Review;= MadHat Press, a print publisher; and an artists retreat at her mountain ho= me in Asheville. As an editor, Carol was impressed by wordplay, originality, and writing wi= th the courage to confront the political. She published and befriended many= authors, poets, artists, and filmmakers including, Harold Jaffe, Andrei Co= drescu, Hugh Fox, Alasdair Gray,George Szirtes and Raymond Federman. As a m= ultimedia and spoken-word artist, she collaborated with Sheila E. Murphy an= d many others, recording a CD, Inventions II: Fictions, Fusions and Poems, = with Don C. Meyers and Benjamin Rush Miller in 2009. Carol's full-length book of hybrid works, metafictions, prose poems, rants,= raves and whatnots, Giraffes in Hiding: The Mythical Memoirs of Carol Nova= ck, was released by Spuyten Duyvil Press in 2010. When Dee Sunshine asked Carol where she would chose to travel via time mach= ine, she said, "Eons of light years from now, towards or back to a cosmos i= nhabited by wise sentient beings, including cats." And on life after death= , she said: "Take away life, take away the breast and breath. Of course, I'= m not expecting to meet 'God' before I die. I don't believe in religions or= fairy tales except as metaphors of the human experience, the wish to be sa= ved, the wish for happy endings, the absurd trials we set up for ourselves,= the meaningful journeys, and always the rules, the rules, the rules. We're= a very limited species." Before her death, Carol was working several new projects, including the no= vella Felicia's Nose, in collaboration with Tom Bradley. Both Felicia's No= se and a collection of Carol's shorter works are anticipated for publicati= on in the near future. Mad Hat Arts, Inc., including Mad Hatters' Review, MadHat Press and the Ash= eville Artists and Writers' Little Mountain Retreat is expected to continue= operations under the guidance of Carols' designated successors, with seve= ral books forthcoming, including, Primate Fox, the last collection of poetr= y by the late Hugh Fox. No doubt Carol saw her own resemblance to the protagonist from her unfinis= hed novella, Felicia's Nose: "Thus, Felicia is neither 'kind,' 'good,' 'ha= ughty,' 'hot,' nor 'pugnacious.' Nor is she not. Like the rest of us, she i= s wending her way through the minefields of existence, too frequently with = tight shoes that pinch her feet and will ultimately grow loose with age..." Carol died peacefully with her friends at her bedside in the Elizabeth Hous= e Hospice in Flat Rock, North Carolina. -Marc Vincenz =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.

In the case of my Sappho fragment, Sappho uses a non-standard Lesbian dialectical form 'amme' [literally 'us'] instead of the standard Attic form ['me' = English 'me']. See Anne Carson's translations of Sappho's fragments [*If Not, Winter*, p. 38 (translation) and pp. 365f. (comments) on this particular fragment. What makes this Sappho fragment so powerful, for me, is that the ambiguity between "you burn me" and "you burn us" seems to make Sappho's assertion not just a personal one but a universal one as well. In any case, we don't know exactly what she meant, and we haven't known that for something like 2500 years. Nevertheless, these two words continue to ring in our ears, with, I think, enormous meaning, given their slight weight as just two very little words. I mean, there is all of Freud in these two words! Right? Can you say the same thing for this Alcaeus fragment, which you cite and which I haven't been able to locate in my Campbell edition of the Greek Lyric Poets, nor in my older Loeb editions? Can you give a context for this Alcaeus passage?

Not only did we publish two exciting books, Joshua Ware=92s* Homage to Homage to Homage to Creeley*, which won the 2010 Furniture Press Poetry Prize, and Ryan Eckes=92 witty and sophisticated *Ol= d News*, we also published, with the generous help and talent of Jodi Hoover, three chapbooks, Nicole Mauro=92s *Tea Party Poems*, a =93fauxlaboration=94 between Emily Dickinson and Sarah Palin, Anne Ashbaugh=92s *Mythopoesis*, a= nd Elizabeth Savage=92s *Jane & Paige, or Sister Goose,* *Twenty-Four Women & Girls*. And if there=92s not enough room in our basement! The Emergent Poet= s Series took off with excellent reception. We published Lily Herman=92s *Bet= ter than some, not as good as some others*. * *We even pulled off an impressive Cruellest Month Poetry & Performance Festival, our 6th, at the Towson Public Library, complemented with a community-wide =94poem walk,=94 in whic= h local businesses displayed a range of poems (more than 150 by 23 poets) on their store fronts or within their premises. And then we participated in the global 100,000 Poets for Change event, hosting a day-long open reading (on 33rd street in Baltimore) of poets and aspiring writers from the city and county and recording more than 100 emergent poets for the Onthology/aud= io series. As might be obvious, a publishing project such as Furniture Press Books is not merely about the production of quality books and textual objects. If not for our reading public, the necessary part of the poetry equation, there would be no press. This is why we hold the local, our communities and our neighborhoods, our citizens and neighbors, in the highest esteem. And we want to give the community a chance to collaborate in the meaning-making venture, not merely absorb it. Books are vehicles. The community is the machine. In 2012, we will continue the tradition of community involvement by furthering our relationships with the local and partner with new and exciting organizations. The 7th Annuel Cruellest Month Poetry & Performance Festival (CruMoPoPerFest) will be held at the Village Learning Place in Charles Village, Baltimore throughout the month of April (dates/performers/readers to come). This building is the site of an expansive free library, free workshops and events, and a newly established collection of local writers and presses. Partnering with a new organization means expanding our own aesthetics to those outside our small community, and open the way to further inter-community collaboration, which, in our hopes, will foster the talent of emergent as well as established poets. And, so as not to overlook the overarching goal of the press, great books, we will be publishing a fine collection of poetry of manifest sorts: William Allegrezza and Garin Cycholl=92s *Aquinas and the Mississippi*, Shabnam Piryaei=92s *A Method for Counting Days*, Elizabeth Savage=92s *Gra= mmar*, Magus Magnus=92 *ReEchoes*, and j. j. hastain=92s *myrrh to re all myth*.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello friends, We're now in our final week of submissions to Versal 10, and I am hoping you can help us spread the word. Submissions are lower for us this year, but we've had no drop in the quality of those submissions (I'd say the average quality went up), and I'm really excited about the new issue. The drop in numbers, I'm guessing, is at least in part because of our new fee, but definitely because we can't show up in Duotrope search/open market results anymore, which is a bummer, and a circumstance that limits the reach of our call. So I'm calling on our wider community, those of you who know Versal and like or even love Versal, for help in getting the word out the old way: word of mouth. Can you send the call (below) to the writers and artists you know, have published; post to your Facebook or Twitter or whatnot; forward to your students, colleagues, local listserve... My many thanks, and looking forward to seeing and meeting many of you at AWP. Best, Megan CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: VERSAL 10 ONLY ONE WEEK LEFT! Deadline: January 15, 2012 Amsterdam's acclaimed literary & art annual, Versal, is reading for its 10th edition. Its editors are looking for excellent prose, poetry, art and the inbetween to fill the pages of this exciting anniversary issue. Guidelines and (online only) submissions here: http://www.versaljournal.org/guidelines Contributors to the issue will receive a free copy and an equal share of funds collected through our new matching scheme. For a close look at Versal's tastes, purchase the current no. 9 or a back issue: http://www.versaljournal.org/order. A $2 submission fee applies.

Informed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the Great Depression in the 1930s, TWO is a gesture to =93make work=94 for visual and performing artists, writers, and others by giving them simple, idea-based assignments that explore, document, and improve daily life in New York City. From a temporary, publicly accessible office installed at BRAC, TWO's administrators will hire employees, exhibit work, and distribute Depression-era wages at a Payday Party on February 10. TWO is accepting applications for assignments that can be presented at BRAC=92s gallery. The proposals should explore the relationship between art and civic life and respond to the unique history and/or nature of the Bronx through one of the following TWO assignments: *build a bridge *reinterpret a newspaper photo *record an oral history with someone who lives or works in the Bronx *design a poster to promote something *make a mixed CD related to places, people, or experiences in the Bronx *catalog WPA structures in NY *document a need for repairs *give a concert for a plant *make a regional travel guide for a place, neighborhood, or phenomenon in the Bronx *start an American tradition *assign yourself Applications and instructions are available on TWO=92s website=97 www.theworkoffice.com=97and at BRAC=92s gallery. A TWO administrator will contact and interview applications of interest by January 26. Interviews will take place on January 27 and 28. Applications are evaluated based on the strength and clarity of the proposed response to one of our assignments, its relationship to the Bronx, and the practicality of realizing it within a week. Hired employees must be able to complete their assignments during the workweek of February 2=968, drop off work at the BRAC gallery on February 9= , and attend a public Payday Party on the evening of Friday, February 10. At the Payday Party, artist/employees will collect their workweek honoraria of $23.50 for their completed assignment, the weekly wage that artists received in the Federal One Project (the arts division of the WPA). The public will be invited to view the week=92s works and learn about the project. Completed assignments will be publicly exhibited at BRAC=92s galle= ry throughout the week of February 11=9618 and on TWO=92s website. Questions? Write TWO at: apply@theworkoffice.com.

It is hoped to publish chap books of poetry from the writers group. Meeting= s are set to be monthly, with informal gatherings in between if needed. New= members are encouraged to join who live in the area. The group was initialy put together in 2010, but efforts to get writers gro= up actually meeting failed for a variety of reasons, from work to venue iss= ues. So as the first new year resolution actually kept, tonight we actually= got it together!!! A report on the night is at the link above.

She is accused of "Rebellion" and "drug trafficking." The prosecutors have indicated that this frame-up trial will begin on 23 January 2012 at the special criminal court in Cartagena de Indias. Angye Gaona is completely innocent of these charges! But she is considered a nuisance by the ultra-conservative government because her writings, interviews, and speeches have had a considerable influence on young Colombians. But "crime" and "drug trafficking," no, not at all! Angye was unexpectedly arrested in January of last year without any written or formal charge, but was released on caution in July after much international pressure. And, now, once again, she is completely innocent of these frame-up charges and professional defamations! Angye Gaona, in a number of articles and interviews, has passionately defended the cause of Colombian Indians, many of whom are being killed by paramilitary gangs on orders of the land developers. Angye has denounced these mass-killings as "genocide." Also, Angye has defended the cause of working class people and their unions, who are constantly being repressed by the industrial conglomerates in Colombia, supported by the government and its Yankee sponsor. Indeed, she has denounced the present Colombian government as "a terrorist government." If nothing is done, her trial may have a dramatic and tragic outcome. Indeed, Colombia is known for its dreadful political trials. At the moment some 7,000 political prisoners serve long sentences in terrible and overcrowded prisons. Therefore, it is necessary to try to make known to the Colombian judiciary officials that Angye's case is being followed closely worldwide. At the moment, it is important that the examining judge receives many letters, letters asking for a fair trial. If you want to write such a letter, the address is as follows ...

Yet there is a common ground. Celan was a careful reader of Brecht=92s poetry and muc= h less hermetic and interested in constructs of pure language than one might assume, while there is in Brecht=92s poetry a layer of subtle, poetic language. In addition to a linguistic and aesthetic kinship between Brecht and Celan, there are also significant thematic overlaps, such as the concept of kindness, the invocation of a non-metaphysical yet sacred presence of an =93other,=94 etc. Send 200 word abstracts by March 9 to: Marc Silberman (mdsilber@wisc.edu) 2) Brecht =96 M=FCller =96 Poetry =96 Language Collaborative session sponsored by the IBS and MLA Division of 20th-Century German Literature There are many connections between Bertolt Brecht and Heiner M=FCller: M=FC= ller emulated Brecht as a role model, he extended his work through adaptations or with alternative projects, and as a young lyric poet he also positioned himself vis-=E0-vis this mentor. We seek papers that examine how M=FCller= =92s poetry =93translates=94 Brecht=92s poetic language as a mode of textual expression / expansion. Brecht advised those who read his poetry that one should =93not forget his main work was in the theater=94; this holds equall= y for M=FCller. If we take the advice seriously, it suggests that as poets both were attracted to a spoken German that had for centuries drifted apart from the written language. Beyond thematic connections, here we suggest a new way to focus on M=FCller=92s continuation of Brecht=92s work.

More so a sense /a kind of open door is beginning /closing dark turning - light I didnt expect. old flesh renews, that the dim eye makes almost nothing matter. looks to what I find ahead. I believe - fear kept me speaking, or all would cease to be. so I spoke & the forest flew by & city lights distorted the cold stars of love and dark the beginning, a journey, a descent the ghost of myself still alive, to address the infected world, to stall & cease advance, to the forest one fears to enter sad desire/ without a mask to journey solely at night dark to the armies circling themselves the forest of knives invisible to those who never make it or recognize desire: one heart to pull the other retract - that the gap maintains its depth & distance to hell the hidden road & the river one dares Afterword § This poem/fragment is based on a selection of lines sent to me by Arianwen Goronwy Roberts, a young student, poet, and artist who I jokingly referred to as Virgil one night when she soberly drove me home after a drunken literary event in the fall of 2009. I got Arianwen curious to read Dantes Divine Comedy & at some other drunken literary event asked her to send me the Dante lines or sections that she liked or stood out for whatever reason. This she did from an on-line translation (http://www.readprint.cm/work -7/inferno-dante-alighieri: The Divine Comedy: Hell - no translator given). Within those stanzas, verses, and narrative fragments I could see certain words/phrasings and images that prompted my own translation and improvised responses. Ive made no dramatic attempt to describe sinners being dipped upside down in hot tar or include any of the other dark & menacing monsters contained in Dantes hell - or developed the relationship between Dante and Virgil, his poet/guide through hell. Instead, I took only words, phrases or images from Arianwens choices that I could then reconfigure without, I decided, any presumption to condense the narrative in Book One, or make any literal reference to snakes, lizards, and lions etc. (though somehow a lone fox trotted in). The ending does not wholly contain the sanguine possibility Dante recognized in Canto xxxiv a return to the bright world- to look once more upon the stars. More so, I believe it when the poet Robert Creeley writes - the darkness surrounds us - yet within it we must live and experience whatever range we are given or decide. When the writing stalled, I also took lines/ideas from Arianwens poem the forest of knives image, Mateusz Patrykas poem for his line the ghost of myself, Cecil Giscombes email - these days the sisters incoherent, unrequited, incomplete and Robert Creeleys line happy in hell sources that kept me going for awhile longer on the hidden road. Otherwise, all else is missing. published in Ottawa by above/ground press January 2012 a/g subscribers receive a complimentary copy Barry McKinnon was born in 1944 in Calgary Alberta, where he grew up.

For as long as we can remember, poets have addressed the sun and moon, distant lovers and heroes, while also separately singing odes to the gods. The Surrealist painter Leonora Carrington once said, "We learn about the soul, and we have to listen to the soul." Just as some poets use music for inspiration, ekphrasis is not simply a description of an art work, but influenced by the art work and, sometimes, the artist's life. Carrington's own paintings evidence her own efforts towards querying the world she inhabited beyond the limits of perception; her life also reveals many lively, unconventional turns that inspire and provide unexpected permissions, something poets often require -- consciously or not. In the course of this workshop, we will look at a the work and lives of a variety of artists, as well as poets, and consider how ekphrasis can extend beyond mere description of the visual arts but may also be combined with address (apostrophe) or incorporate the ode as a means to reflect appreciation, and content from, an artist's work. http://www.poetrycoop.com/poetry-workshops/teaching-artists/amy-king ~~~~~ Feb 3, 2012, 6:00pm | Martin E.

We are open for submissions. To get an idea of what kinds of work we want to publish in lieu of reading our archives, please read this essay by the poet Peter O'Leary regarding Apocalypticism in poetry ( http://humanities.uchicago.edu/orgs/review/55-3%20OLeary.pdf ). Our goal is to publish poems online that we feel speak to the ideas of Apocalypticism. At the end of 2012, we will be hand-sewing a limited edition printed version of the poems we have published online throughout the year. We would like to work towards being able to release print editions quarterly in the future because the book as art is what, in our opinion, will be the future incarnation of printed books in general.
