Cheers! Jonathan Minton www.wordforword.info + + + Jesse DeLong from "The Amateur Scientist’s Notebook: Floret as Bird" What is hunger if I once listened to a floret slurp spilt water into soil, its sex a spore on wind, a single seed left for a bird to eat. With any certainty I could not call you bird. I could not call you anything other than—Like, say, in the shallows of the river we laid crawdad traps until our fingers pruned. From the bank’s oxblood-colored body we uprooted clay, molded wet grains into plates, set them on some stones to harden. Shoes soaked in silt, we swelled, a hunger heavy as a field of florets, feathers dreamed to sprout from skin. A hunger of when one is lost once in another. Anything other than— (Whether we notice the moth at the lamp, or its shadow winged on the wall). We were privy to all manner of underhanded shit. We were a kind of happiness, meaning “momentarily without guilt” or, “not poised to attack.” Or astonishment: the work of becoming another. The stalled animal of the body at rest. Hair collecting in the comb. A single wire, unbending. ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

Below is the blurb. The Atlanta Poets Group will be performing various Cage pieces (including "Anarchy," "45' For a Speaker," "Diary: how to improve the world (you will only make matters worse) Continued 1967" and selections from _I-VI_ and "Empty Words." See the Goat Farm FB page for more info (https://www.facebook.com/events/350313001717893/).

Presented by the Goat Farm and curated by The Atlanta Poets Group, Bent Frequency, and Chamber Cartel, the events promise listening experiences rare in the worlds of music or literature. Among these are a performance of four simultaneous virtuosic solos, an evening length percussion work, a soprano and percussion duo, and a multivoice realization of a mesostic. The culminating event of The Ten Thousand Things is a "Musicircus," a collage-style musical happening of simultaneous, multiple performances: audience members are invited to stroll around the performance venue and partake in pieces that are of interest to them at that particular moment. Please join us to celebrate John Cage's 100th birthday and revel in sound and silence! ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

It shows his transition from relatively accessible poetry using colloquial realism into more complex language reminiscent of James Joyce's wordplay in *Finnegans Wake* and Gerard Manley Hopkins' richly descriptive poetry. . . ."

I'd been emailed a link recently to the PennSound site through the Poetics List, and I saw that a recording of our event wasn't on the site. Then I remembered that the recording equipment wasn't working that day, and I did what I usually did back then and recorded it with my little Radio Shack cassette recorder. I checked the kitchen drawer where I thought the tape was and, sure enough, there it was. Our pal Sean Cole was kind enough to digitize the cassette, and the good folks at Penn Sound have now put the recordings up on their swell site Go down to April 8 and there are the links to each of our readings (and a ton of other recordings, too): http://www.writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Segue-DH.php Hope yre all doing well. as ever, dak -- David A.

I was a secret artist. For most of my adult life I was a collector of paintings and a concealed minor artist. I would not admit it because I could not accept the status of minor artist, what I considered the disgrace of the minor artist. I could have been a successful minor artist, but instead I was a failure as a major artist. I was a concealed failure as a major artist.

Bests, Lisa ~~~ Lisa Samuels's Wild Dialectics forges imaginary rhythms into speculative anthems. These lyrics of elusive logos ghost provisional conditions of enduring transience. With stunning poise, Samuels holds out for holding on to the inherent insistence of words' translucent pilgrimage. =97Charles Bernstein I am profoundly moved by Wild Dialectics, doing one of the best kinds of work that a poet and her poetry can do. Experience and perception are fully nuanced here, compressed into the body-mind of a guide to the full if even at times partial details; a rewire, making possible and thereby making accessible. Wild Dialectics is resonant with sense and fat with the joy of humane linguistic creative subtlety. The ear and eye, body and mind, are jumped into serious play both along and between these lines. Lisa Samuels tells it straight and tells it true; which is why we might not see that to be so, we are not used to straight and true. Her attention and perceptions are sharp as they come, subtle arguments released through sensual fracture. =97cris cheek =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.

The publisher's webpage offers a pdf sample as well as a handy list of links where you can order the book: http://www.shearsman.com/pages/books/catalog/2012/martinLooms.html Many thanks to Tony Frazer, publisher extraordinaire of Shearsman Books. May the poems in LOOMS bring you pleasure. Reviews welcome. Cheers, Camille Martin The title of LOOMS signifies the weaving tool as well as the shadowing appearance of something. These "woven tales" were inspired by Barbara Guest's statement that a tale "doesn't tell the truth about itself; it tells us what it dreams about." The strands of their surreal allegories converse, one idea giving rise to another, and the paths of their dialogue become the fabric of the narrative. In a second meaning, something that looms remains in a state of imminent arrival. Such are these tales, like parables with infinitely deferred lessons. "In tightly woven tapestry, Martin's 'backstreet songs' re-invent a music of knowledge that navigates the hucksterism and catastrophe threatening our planet. The movement of her threads is fugue-like, punctuated by oboes and clarinets, mockingbirds and cicadas. Here, in the dream-space of time-lapse film, forms of life and ideas collide and morph, rippling through centuries of human consciousness to unravel as quickly as they ravel. Here, above all, Martin makes it possible to dance among our 'origins in snake oil,' our 'crusades to mirages' and our 'accidental fictions'."=97Meredith Quartermain "A dreamscape on the outskirts of town, 'in the badlands of the vernacular,' these hopeful, haunted poems populated by children and prisoners 'hover between' realms domestic and exterior, real and imagined.

(September 19, 2012) =96 September 29, 2012 marks the second annual global event for 100 Thousand Poets for Change, a grassroots organization that brings communities together to call for environmental, social, and political change within the framework of peace and sustainability. An event that began primarily with poet organizers, 100 Thousand Poets for Change has grown into an interdisciplinary coalition with year round events which includes musicians, dancers, mimes, painters and photographers from around the world. Local issues are still key to this massive global event as communities around the world raise their voices on issues such as homelessness, global warming, education, racism and censorship, through concerts, readings, lectures, workshops, flash mobs, theater performances and other actions. But these locally focused events have taken on a more continuous and expansive form through the new disciplines represented this year. For example, photographers are making a long-term project out of the event; they will document the involvement of their communities and explore connections with the broader global issues to turn into future exhibits. Mo= re and more organizers and participants of the one day, annual event are making plans to continue their actions after September 29. Many have formed groups in their cities that will continue to work year-round towards the goals their community seeks. =93Peace and sustainability are major concerns worldwide, and the guiding principles for this global event,=94 said Michael Rothenberg, Co-Founder of 100 Thousand Poets for Change. =93We are in a world where it isn't just one issue that needs to be addressed.
