This is April, known in the United States as National Poetry Month. That means the worst of our nation's poetry is on display, leading underground poets to whine about how no one loves them and academic poets to pretend to hate their readership, which they probably would if it wasn't imaginary. Clearly, the only way out of such literary despair is to embrace sociopolitical despair, so come check out the new issue of UnlikelyStories.org, with: Starhawk starts a "green entrepreneurship program" of education in Bayview Hunters Point, an impoverished neighborhood of San Francisco "At the Crossroads of Climate and Food" by Seattle Councilman Richard Conlin Jerel C. Wilmore films a peaceful protest at Virginia's Capitol Square and police response Rev. John Helmiere describes being beaten by Oakland police Phil Rockstroh on police repression, official mendacity and why OWS has already overcome "The Spa Owner's Family," a novella by Dirk van Nouhuys Short Fiction by Tom Bonfiglio, George Sparling, and Bruce Memblatt and New Poetry, involving the visual, the experimental, the offbeat and the aggressive by Lawrence Welsh, B. Z. Niditch, Wendy Taylor Carlisle, Felino A. Soriano, Ric Carfagna, Jacob A. Bennett, Lizzy Swane, Nicholas Komodore, Alia Vancrown and Marc Thompson We'll have a new multimedia issue up mid-month, and then a mini-issue for early May -- I'll be working on the next issue of BigBridge.org in the latter half of this month. Our regular publication schedule will resume with another multimedia issue in mid-May.

Private lives are just that and your private eyes are something else, but as long as the private's on tour there is no private art. In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is not lacking for employment opportunities. And we all know the workers don't need any lessons from the students any less than the lessons themselves. What estate are we at anyway? Reader, do I make you litigious? You're already no longer young forever, so gas the giant up and philosophize with your hummer. "How stupid are you? Don't you know these people are rich?" Well, I came for the credential and stayed for the canapes, totally over paying my lap service for a limp sum. A desire a bargain basement thou shalt have it sort of thing. I always knew that licorice tasted like assholes even before I'd tasted an asshole so imagine my total lack of surprise when I turned out to be right.

Murphy 68 pages Otoliths, 2012 ISBN: 978-0-9872010-2-7 $14.45 + p&h URL: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/american-ghazals/18929550 The ghazal is a time-honored literary form dating from 6th century Arabic verse. Successive versions of the form attest to its appeal across numerous cultures and periods of time. Focal themes associated with the form have encompassed divine and earthly love to those of loss, longing, and isolation. Ghazals are voiced and sung in many languages, including Persian, Turkish, and Urdu. Despite highly specific rules governing the form in its early centuries, more contemporary versions have relaxed such practices. In contemporary English, the self-containment of each couplet offers an appealing potential for discovering subtle relationships among the (minimum of five) different couplets within a single piece. Subliminal echoes of perception and emergent contextual linkages provide a renewal of sensibility for readers of the ghazal. The pieces in this collection represent a selection of works written as =91American Ghazals,=92 based upon the distinctly American idiom in which t= he pieces have been developed. The more I read the form in translation and in English, the more apparent the fit of pivotal shifts in language, thought, and content. The American ghazal offers rich practice, replete with political, social, psychological, and meditative states that redefine perceptions in a new century. *Sheila E.

What I don't yet quite grasp is how he's articulated all the ropes, quickdraws, carabiners, hexes, cams, and sundry poetical devices to work in such syntactically spectacular ways. 'I root up (I have brought them) landinwards, hither (I will make them resound here.)' And that's just at the first drop, barely in, still fathoms to go.... Well, some people have the ambition and guts and others just watch. I could say 'tour de force' from my spectator chair, but that wouldn't really do. So I'll say, as a first handle on it, that THE DEAD LOVE joins the masterpieces of John Cage, Jackson Mac Low, Susan Howe, and Ronald Johnson as one of the most exhilarating 'citational' explorations ever made in American poetry."=97Kent Johnson Jared Hayes lives in Portland, Oregon. He believes collectivity and community are important and so is a member of Dusie Kollectiv, Black Radish Books, and Livestock Editions. Jared's poems can be found. AND: Infinite Variations Marci Nelligan * * * http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9780982573181/infinite-variations.aspx Composed from source text randomly selected from *On the Origin of the Species* and the Old Testament, INFINITE VARIATIONS seeks to puncture the political in exploring and re-imagining these seminal texts. Splicing cell structure with the numinous, it careens, stutters, and reinvents. "Using phrasing and vocabulary from the Old Testament and Darwin's *On the Origin of the Species*as her raw material, Nelligan creates startlingly fresh structures, contemporary in their vigorous parataxis and suspension of normative logic, timeless in their explorations of origin and, ultimately, of being. But above all, there's a marvelous mix of delight and gravity in the way she wields these words, letting sound and association create bridges across epochs and disciplines. An extremely promising first book, at once intimate and immense, luminous and lively."=97Cole Swensen "INFINITE VARIATIONS takes two loaded and locked works=97*On the Origin of the Species* and the Old Testament=97and uses them in allegiance to an exploration of desire. Each word is, thus, resonant, full of debate. It is a defense of evolution's role in love and about a love of evolution's variations. Throughout it is provocative in its simplicity, luminous in its word play."=97Juliana Spahr Marci Nelligan's publications include chapbooks *Dispatch* (with Nicole Mauro), *Infinite Variations*, and *The Book of Knowledge*, all from Dusie Press. In addition, she was the co-editor of an interdisciplinary book on Jane Jacobs, INTERSECTION, from Chain Links Press. Her work has appeared in *Jacket*, DENVER QUARTERLY, *The New Orleans Review*, *How2*, and other journals. She was the 1999 recipient of Poets & Writers "Writers-on-Site" grant and has an MFA from Mills College in poetry. She teaches creative writing at Franklin & Marshall College and lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with her husband and two daughters. =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.

Friday, April 27, 7:00 PM at the Asian American Writers' Workshop, 112 West 27th Street, Suite 600, Between 6th and 7th Avenues in Manhattan, Buzzer 600. $5.00 suggested donation. Subterranean Technologies: The Ambient Poetics of Tan Lin, Pamela Lu, and Sueyeun Juliette Lee. Moderated by Dorothy Wang and live-tweeted by Lucy Ives. See http://www.aaww.org/#27apr12 for more details. Pamela Lu is the author of the books /Ambient Parking Lot/ (Kenning Editions, 2011) and /Pamela: A Novel/ (Atelos, 1999), as well as the chapbook /The Private Listener/ (Corollary Press, 2006). Her writing also appears in the anthologies /Bay Poetics/ and /Biting the Error/, and has been published in periodicals such as /1913/, /Antennae/, /Call/, /Chain/, /Chicago Review/, /Fascicle/, /Harper's/, /Mirage/, /Poetics Journal,/ and /Tinfish/. She grew up in Southern California, and now lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. /Ambient Parking Lot/ is a 187-page book about one band's quest to capture the world's most perfect ambient noise in a parking lot. Wait, don't go away! It's great ... I swear. It's dizzying, really, and hilarious. ---Cooper Berkmoyer, /San Francisco Bay Guardian / Lu's book looks at the cerebral struggle of artmaking and of ambient music: as struggle between the problems of the language of the individual and the language of the collective. ---Devin King, /Make Magazine / The Ambient Parkers' yen for recognition seems to be a residual effect of their desire to create something that matters, but what their message or the content of that matter might be is always skirted over or slides into something new. In this way, Lu captures---and mocks as well, perhaps, but lovingly---the existential pretenses of artistic endeavors. In the end, Lu suggests that despite the absurdities and shifting metamorphoses inherent in human effort, the greatest grace and sense of humanity comes from attending, from recognizing that the deathly silence we fear is in fact fully populated and alive once we quiet ourselves. By the novel's end, ambience takes on new meaning, and doesn't require our torturously theorized amplifications but graces us when we quietly acknowledge it. ---Sueyeun Juliette Lee, /The Constant Critic/ What I love about Lu's work is her sharp wit, subtle delivery and deadpan hilarity, which you have to slow down and listen for in order to fully appreciate. Thus, parked, I listened. ---Jai Arun Ravine, /Lantern Reviews/ ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

She grew up in a traditional Lebanese household and much of her writing is influenced by her rich Middle Eastern heritage. She has taught English in Japan. Her fiction and poetry have appeared in Still Point Arts Quarterly, Things Japanese: A Collection of Short Stories, Maple Tree Literary Supplement, and the anthology Lavander¡a - A Mixed Load of Women, Wash, and Word. She is a graduate of the Humber School for Writers and the University of Ottawa. Her first book, The Lebanese Dishwasher (Quattro Books, 2012), was co-winner of the 2012 Ken Klonsky Novella Contest. Her poetry collection Turkish Delight, Montreal Winter (TSAR Publications) will be published in the fall 2012. When Victoria Dunn, author of Alice Hearts Welsh Zombies, is not busy writing, she's the ultimate Bond girl, intelligent, accomplished and stunningly beautiful. Men of action fall helpless at her feet every day. She doesn't just blow smoke off her pistolshe blows smoke rings. In a parallel universe, Victoria Dunn is the evil hive mind of Victoria Higgins and Meghan Dunn. Victoria has waged a life-long battle against depression and is a recovering perfectionist who performs with Stand Up for Mental Health (www.standupformentalhealth.com/). She currently works at the local independent bookstore, because what else can you do with a degree in Religion, Sociology and Anthropology? Meghan spent several years with the Canadian Army Reserve before putting down her rifle to study Classical History. She hated selling frozen yogurt, loved working at a comic book store, and has never met a handcraft she doesn't adore. Meghan is happily married, and the mother of two teenagers who are very impressed by her expertise in zombiology. Dirt of Ages is Gillian Wigmores second book. Her first, soft geography, won the 2008 Relit award. Her work has been published in magazines, short listed for prizes, and anthologized. She lives in Prince George, BC. Michael Lithgow is a PhD candidate in the School of Journalism and Communication. His poetry has appeared in Arc Magazine, The New Quarterly and Fiddlehead. Selections of his work have been included in Rutting Season (Buffalo Runs Press, 2009) and Undercurrents: New Voices in Canadian Poetry (Cormorant Books, 2010). His first solo collection, Waking in the Tree House, was published in Spring 2012 by Cormorant Books. He is currently a contributing editor at ArtThreat.net, research associate with the Canadian Alternative Media Archive project, and director of OpenMedia.ca. His doctoral research explores aesthetics, truth and dissent in digital and performance cultures. http://www.abovegroundpress.blogspot.ca/2012/04/factory-reading-series-pre-small-press.html And don't forget the ottawa small press book fair, opening the following day at noon at the Jack Purcell Community Centre! http://www.smallpressbookfair.blogspot.ca/2012/01/ottawa-small-press-book-fair-spring.html -- writer/editor/publisher ...ottawater, above/ground press & Chaudiere Books (www.chaudierebooks.com) ...coord., SPAN-O + ottawa small press fair ...poetry - grief notes: (BlazeVOX) ...2nd novel - missing persons www.abovegroundpress.blogspot.com * http://robmclennan.blogspot.com/ ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

It's called Space Video: http://turbulence.org/Works/spacevideo/ This is a wife/husband team. Kate is an artist and writer; Michael is an artist-programmer. "Space Video addresses ideas of exploration in relation to inner and outer space. Having noticed that there are shared aesthetic qualities of video imagery that accompany disparate cultural and scientific phenomena including guided meditation, hypnosis, undersea and space exploration by NASA, motivational speaking, powerpoint backgrounds, science fiction, psychedelic drug culture, electronic music, popular spirituality, and computer effects, we have built a generative system that mixes an original non-linear narrative with YouTube videos on these subjects as they are uploaded in real time. These videos often attempt to portray what are ultimately non-visual spaces, producing images that are at once placeholders, images of the transcendental, trippy intergalactic stereotypes, and fields for persuasion." Kate wrote the text. Of it, she says: "The narrative is inspired by technical manuals and science fiction novels, and references diverse sources including 1960s American adventure books for boys (such as the adventures of Tom Swift by Victor Appleton II) and the Victorian flapper ethic of the 1920's British literary compendium for girls called Blackie's Girls' Annual. Themes include adventure, exploration, recreation, infinity, technology, action, and decorum." Kate and Michael did a somewhat related earlier piece called Graphik Dynamo at http://www.turbulence.org/Works/dynamo/ . It's related in that, again, Kate wrote the text and Michael did the programming. But, moreover, again it's a generative piece where the visuals are retrieved via a feed from the net and the visuals are different each time you play the piece, as is the sequencing of the texts. ja ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

They came out with Amsterdam's first international literary & arts journal. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Versal. Boom. Publishing an incredible range of the world's literary and art talent, and widely acclaimed for its strong and wide-reaching aesthetic and innovative design, Versal is now celebrating the arrival of its 10th edition. The drumroll towards this exciting milestone started in March when Versal was awarded first place in the 26th annual New York Book Show. And the editors of Versal are in the mood to celebrate. Versal was started as part of a volunteer effort to build a vibrant and inclusive, international literary community in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since 2002, the team behind Versal has organized readings and events, festivals, workshops and writing groups, including, most recently, the Amsterdam shows of the world-famous Literary Death Match. Today, thanks to years of dedication on the part of Versal's local editorial team, Amsterdam is now home to a healthy literary scene, with many groups, organizations, writers, and even publishers. Versal's 10-issue milestone, therefore, also marks 10 years of this growing, successful community. Join us in toasting to 10 years of our literary community and its flagship Versal: Wednesday, May 23 at BoCinq. Free entry, but RSVP only. Doors open at 7pm. The dress code is "gold tie". Full details and RSVP info: http://www.versaljournal.org Leading up to the launch, Versal's founder and editor Megan M. Garr is writing a series about being its editor for the last ten years.

Dear Friends, the great West Coast poet and publisher Kevin Opstedal (Gas Magazine, Surf Zombie, Blue Press, etc.) is in a pretty major financial pickle right now and needs our help. Please go to www.bluepressbooks.com, buy as many of the amazing chapbooks (everyone from Jim Carroll to Joanne Kyger, Bill Berkson, et. al.) that you can, and consider making an additional donation by clicking the DONATE link at the top of the page. You can also mail any unwanted books to him that he can sell online to 126 Washburn Avenue, Santa Cruz CA, 95060. We'd like to help him raise $4,000 to keep himself and the press afloat after a really grueling stint of unemployment during which he burned through his entire savings, retirement and many emergency grants. Kevin has published many of the greats, but he also gave many young poets, myself included, their starts. PLEASE SHARE THIS EVENT WIDELY. Thanks! Noel Black To add a bit to Noel's PUSH: Opstedal pretty much jump started things and showed much support for a number of younger poets and artists round San Francisco such as Noel, but also the likes of: Cedar Sigo, Will Yackulic, Eddie Berrigan, Micah Ballard, along with myself, and his avid support of the work of poet Lewis MacAdams is ongoing (he recently edited MacAdams's Selected Poems DEAR OXYGEN now out from UNO press. Kevin also wrote a terrific historical record of BOLINAS and the poets who have lived and worked there that is up on a recent issue of BIG BRIDGE. And although unemployed for the last several years Kevin has continued to publish the work of other poets. Any interest/assistance would be awesome. ~ Patrick ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I don’t usually approach friends and colleagues for support, but I believe in their project and will be working on securing grants for them to continue this truly amazing project. Right now, we are hoping to “kickstart” that funding and establish a demonstrable groundswell of support to show potential funders. As you can see from the attachment from Michael and Terri, founders and the workhorses of 100,000 Poets for Change, feel the same way and would appreciate ANY support you could throw Our way. The number of contributors as well reaching their goal of $2,500 in less than six weeks counts! They are already at $1500 pledged after only 15 days. If we don’t hit our goal, all of The money stays with those who pledged funds. This is an act of poetry changing the world, one community group at a time.. and yet, all at once! However, the work behind the scenes goes on all year. If you have blogs, e-mail groupings or e-newsletters to folks who might also give a few bucks and be counted, please pass it on. Please check it out! The website is amazing and impressive. Please see what you can do and…count me on your indebted forever list. With Kind Regards, Cecelia Belle *From:* Michael Rothenberg [mailto:mrwalterblue@gmail.com] *Sent:* Monday, April 09, 2012 8:32 AM *To:* Michael Rothenberg *Subject:* KICKSTARTER FUNDRAISING for the 100 Thousand Poets for Change Headquarters Event bb1 Inline image 2 Inline image 1 Fundraising Campaign Dear Friends of 100 Thousand Poets for Change, I am writing to let you know that Terri and I have set up a 100 TPC KICKSTARTER PAGE in an effort to raise funds to help us to continue organizing 100 Thousand Poets for Change 2012, and more specifically to help us plan and set up our “100 TPC Headquarters Event” from where we will manage all the September 29^th global events! As you know, we have no funding or sponsors thus far and so we have funded the past year’s work on our own. We have recently applied for our non-profit status and hope to be able to get funding from foundations and sponsors soon, but until our non-profit status is approved we are asking for support from our friends, and soon-to-be friends, too! For those of you unfamiliar with Kickstarter , the basic approach is that you state your fundraising goal for your project and then set the time in which you think you can achieve (or surpass) that goal. If at the end of your fundraising period you do not reach your goal you don’t receive any of the donations. So, if we do not reach our goal of $2500, all the money will be refunded to the donors accordingly. Kickstarter explains it like this… /"Why is Kickstarter funding all-or-nothing? On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. This way, no one is expected to develop a project with an insufficient budget, which sucks. Remember you set your own funding goal, so aim to raise the minimum amount you'll need to create your vision. Projects can always raise more than their goal, and often do"/ Terri and I have set our goal for $2,500 and we have 60 days to raise these funds. I am sure you will agree this is not much money for running the website, archiving for Stanford University, sending out ten thousand press releases, general outreach, and overall management of all the activity on the day of the event which will include monitoring and sharing livestreams, skype sessions and much more! The 100 TPC KICKSTARTER PAGE explains everything in more detail. Check it out. There are a whole bunch of unique gifts offered for donors as well. You might see something you like! Please understand that we are actually very uncomfortable asking for funding, we know you all work really hard and poetry is not a high paying job. But, I think we all agree that 100 Thousand Poets for Change is worth doing on a long-term basis. So far we have over 500 events in 100 countries confirmed for September 29, 2012. With your help we hope there will be 1000 events! We thank you for all your friendship and amazing moral support! Please help us by donating any amount of money, really. $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 or more. Every little bit helps! You can go online to the 100 TPC KICKSTARTER PAGE and make your donations. Your support will be greatly appreciated and will enable us to keep organizing 100 TPC 2012. Thank you for all you do! The 100 TPC KICKSTARTER PAGE has just been launched! We now have 60 days to reach our goal of 2,500 dollars. Please help us reach our funding goal. And please tell all your friends and loved ones about the 100 TPC Kickstarter Page, share the link, 100 TPC KICKSTARTER and encourage them to donate to our fundraising campaign!

I would like to be inclusive and participatory with any possible writers for my report. And I will have a section in my report for "The Irish Diaspora" and want to include a few Irish-Americans, Irish-Australians, Irish-Argentinians ... as long as they are INNOVATIVE writers. So, if you fit this description ... Please send me, as soon as possible (I do have a deadline next week) ... 1.) two or three sentences describing your philosophy of writing, and your sense of method(s) in writing; 2.) a list of titles of your publications and/or performances. Please include the name of publisher, place of publication, and date of publication for each title; 3.) two or three URLs where your work(s) can be purchased. Thank you. I suspect that this effort will bring a lot of attention to INNOVATIVE writers in Ireland! Please circulate this message to any other writer you know in Ireland or the Irish Diaspora you think should be included and ask them to e-mail me directly as soon as possible with the answers to 1 : 2 : 3 : above!
