With a little bit of delay and suffering a severe case of holiday blues (and hernia), I'm starting this month's Truck. I would like to dedicate September to TimeWaveZero. In 2006 I started with the Antistresspoweet the idea to start a magazine around the idea TimeWaveZero. Due to different problems it didn't start eventually. All in all for me 9/11 was a sort of TimeWaveZero from which a new decade, era, time frame started. It would be my idea now to work around this idea TimeWaveZero, also incorporating the works that were mailed to us in 2006 and make a sort of dialogue between the past, present and future. TimeWaveZero? The emphasis would be on the poet within the international community, the poet as the catalyst to change the world, the peace-bringer, the conscience of society, but also on time and how the poet/artist is experiencing time. Starting from the idea of experiencing the self within the vacuum of nothingness, of the zero of the beginning of things. The zero becoming a 360 degree circle where the following idea applies: "The Circle. How does this shape, this spatial form, enter consciousness; how does it take on meaning; how does it come to be divided into 360 units; and how it is used as a measurement standard to capture the times of our lives?" Noel Tyl Schroedingers' cat dilemma should be considered also within this, is life/the world/our surroundings waves or particles? How do we consider ourselves within this post 9/11 world? The theories which research the Butterfly Effect, the circle as centre of consciousness but also Aboriginal Dreamtime, Zeropointenergy (Heisenberg/Planck/quantumphysics). should be taken into consideration when thinking about TimeWaveZero and it's consequences. Some of the theories concerning TimeWaveZero pointed at December 21st 2012 as a moment of "End of Time" or "Beginning of a new era" again. The truth lies in another part of the world perhaps, not the Mayan conundrum but the Arab Spring could point out the end of an era and start of a new timeframe. The starting point of what is yet to come=85.

Please see the press release below. Feel free to spread the word, publish the release, and/or contact me with any questions you may have. Best wishes from Amsterdam, Megan FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 5, 2013 - Amsterdam, the Netherlands A journal has an intermission Versal released our 11th issue in May to critical acclaim . Our 11th issue means we've been on the scene for 11 amazing years, curating the best prose, poetry, and art from practitioners around the world, for an international audience. With that many years under our belt, we've seen and learned a lot. The literary landscape has changed drastically since we published our first issue back in 2002. We've changed as well. Where we're going We're eager to improve the way we do things--logistically and conceptually. This means retiring old processes and moving over to better ways of running a journal and exploring projects we've had on the backburner. To give ourselves breathing room for these exciting new developments we've decided to go on a sabbatical of sorts, pausing the release of the next issue of Versal and therefore its reading period. We'll make an announcement as soon as we're ready to begin reading for issue 12. All of our subscribers will receive an email detailing options regarding their subscriptions. What to expect this year Though we're not producing an issue right now, we are continuing to put on events in Amsterdam and elsewhere. Watch our Twitter and Facebook page for news, including announcements regarding This is Not a Reading Series and our Journal Porn event in Seattle at AWP! So, keep writing, creating, and keep in touch. We'll be back with Versal 12 recharged, rebooted, and better than ever. Thanks!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Friends, colleagues, supporters, heroes of mine, I have two weeks to raise funds for my film/media/literature/music project: Red Dust. The urgency? Dad is 91 years old. My mother, his wife of 62 years took her journey last winter and in looking for some purpose in life, he finally agreed to allow me to document his firsthand oral history of the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression and his leaving for WWII service. At 91, he actually worked during the era specific, as a migrant worked and day laborer in cotton fields at a penny a pound. This is not secondhand investigation or theory, this is the oral history and narrative of the day. He is a vital source, who has never enjoyed attention, or cameras, and is tremendous on film. Additionally, he was so moved by the climate change, by the dust bowl that preceded it (rarely spoken of) and by his parents=92 resiliency and ability to change, grown and shift (born in 1878 and 1882), and by his own remarkable journey, he spent his career following WWII as an environmental protection scientist creating a pathway for sustainability and preservation that was rarely achieved in the Native community in his era. He is a national bronze medalist in the sciences and his work is still cited at the UN, though he retired thirty years ago at the normal age of retirement. He was raised with traditional knowledge, his mother was, literally, a healer and midwife, and he incorporated it throughout his career. He is a terrific storyteller and thinker and has much to offer to the discussion of resiliency and as a chronicler of the times Native experience has sadly been nearly omitted from though the best Lange portraits were of Cherokee migrant (cotton & pea) workers. Voiceless, they are our vision of that day. As my parents, and theirs, have always been the crux of my work dedicated to labor, to the environment, to preservation and protection of sites and tradition, to those held in institutions, to those suffering deprivation, to my active engagement in the world, and as my father taught us to withstand full-blown schizophrenia my mother suffered throughout our childhood, he is, for me, and many others, a real guidepost of insight into the philosophy of resilience, of change, of reason and his words and presence are worthy of preservation not only for the project but for all future audience ahead. The project goes to five states: North Carolina, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas (Arkansas, if we can get there, too) to visit each site the family lived while moving for work in the fields following the longstanding tradition of agricultural tradition, all along having their own traditionally cultivated corn, squash, and beans planted at each site they worked for their own food. This is significant in a vast number of ways and the film delivers this and more. We are also set to interview the few remaining survivors he knows along the way and other Native elders, and Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has agreed to be interviewed and we are inviting Carter Revard, as well, as they have been, up to this point, the premier people in the Dust Bowl conversation, yet no one has a film with oral history involving a firsthand survivor who was old enough to be in the labor force at its onset. Please help me make this film. I am already writing the books=92 contents and have been at work on this fo= r several years; while shooting I have access to him dialing and this will surely speed that process along. We plan to begin shooting in three weeks, while the weather holds and before it freezes as he cannot tolerate triple digits or below freezing much at all at 91. I need your help now as our project time for fundraising ends in a couple of weeks. Thus far, I have used my Facebook pages wholly to fundraise and have $5000 plus in hand, 25% of the amount we need to pay the crew and pay for the location costs and camera. We are not making any money in this campaign. It is all directly related to costs. With two weeks left and three from our start date, I must reach out to you and ask you to contribute what you can, I have perks at all levels and need sponsorship across the board. Ask three to ten people to match you immediately and please speak to potential larger funders to ask them to make a plea to their contacts and to consider coming in at the $2500 to $5000 level whereas they receive credit as producers of the film. A few of these and we would be solvent. If any entity is in your reach please go to them as well and ask for contributing support. This is completely tax-deductible and hosted by an agency that already stipends a few Native writer/artists every year under their fellowship program. I do not have time to pursue a grant as an individual as we need to shoot now while Dad is coherent (sharp as a tack) and can get around. He lost his sight completely when Mom died this year, is deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other from the war, and is a stroke and heart attack victim already, so we need to get to this while he is able, able minded and able bodied to get to the sites and do the work it takes to create a worthy film on the times and what this means today. I have a dream team of all Native/Native descent film crew: Royce Sharp (Osage), Tvli Jacob (Creek), Shane Brown (Cherokee) and have a terrific editor as well, Vinnie Hogan (who helped with the pitch reel you can watch on the site). I want to pay them scale and treat them right and pay their travel and lodging and the camera and thus this project campaign is necessary for this. Please investigate the site, please donate today, as much as you can, I really need your help and please speak to others who can help, who need tax write offs and care about oral history from a real source. This is significant work and I need you in the project. I welcome you to join us in this historic movement and in the production of what is sure to be a great documentary. Please watch this reel and please help me reach my goal: http://www.usaprojects.org/project/red_dust_a_mixed_blood_dust_bowl_childho= od Please blog, tweet, and motivate the project as without your help, I won=92= t have the money to pay the crew and location costs. Dad is on an extremely limited income (having retired at the amount of pension thirty years ago). I support several of my grandkids and my fulltime university salary is $40,000 gross (and cannot deduct the grandkids as they live with their father, a single parent of four). So, there really is no money on the side for anything. I need support to make this happen, while there is time. Please help. Sgido, hawa, I thank you!

Avant-garde critic Vladimir Slender-Hedge remarked on Paul Siegell=92s bo= ok wild life rifle fire that =93we find DaDa dynamite and typographical tali= smans freshened by a poet whose native gifts imbue this exciting work with a wh= ole new sense of poetic object. Siegell=92s haptic heroism compels the reader= to re-examine the basic elements of a language that we too often take for granted, in the process creating an energetic and always surprising work = of both visual art and poetry.=94 Siegell is the author of three books of po= etry.

Described by Marcus Slease as =93NY School poetry meets Kafka meets Polish poetry (bruLion, etc.),=94 this bilingual edition is available from: Zephyr Press (http://www.zephyrpress.org/new.php#kopenhaga) and SPD ( http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9781938890000/kopenhaga.aspx) =93Alien to Joycean effulgence, *Kopenhaga* is nonetheless a book of silenc= e, exile, and cunning: silence instead of moralizing in the face of modernity=92s indignities; exile from native land and language; cunning in cajoling these conditions to sing a new song, one lacking in all jubilation, still somehow victorious in the absolute character of defeat. Grim, glancingly beautiful, always necessary.=94=97Joshua Clover =93*Kopenhaga* is the study of a place into which we are all thrown as strangers, =91an enclosed compound for the paranoid,=92 in which we all liv= e a public and familiar life with whomever we find. This is a book about a changing Denmark, one none of us can leave=97nor should we wish to, because place, as Wroblewski has it, =91is the most important thing in the world.= =92 And with this, Wroblewski has written one of the most important books of our time: these are at once unsettling and comforting, timely and wryly moving poems about the laughable annoyances, limited joys, and the never fully present sorrows of cosmopolitanism, the life of the citizens of the world. Gwiazda has rendered this study in a language full of =91water and shouting and whalers.=92 I can think at the moment of no better book for yo= u to read in this our immense and always new Copenhagen.=94=97Gabriel Gudding =93The poet Grzegorz Wroblewski was born in Poland, lives in Copenhagen, an= d is perhaps best known in English translation, as here in the marvelous versions by Piotr Gwiazda. A familiar figure everywhere, yet at home nowhere, Wroblewski is the true poetic chronicler of our 21st century diaspora in all its absurdities and anxieties. *Kopenhaga*, his book of aphoristic prose poems*, *pulls out all the rhetorical stops to present us with a relentless, sardonic, and hilarious picture of a culture (at once highly particular and yet anyculture) as insane as it is public-spirited and kindly. =91What terrifies me in Denmark,=92 our narrator remarks, =91(t= he land of Bohr and Kierkegaard, a caring and tolerant state with a high standard of living, etc.) . . . is *homo sapiens.*=92 *Kopenhaga *is a journey to the end of the night that always makes a U-turn in the middle, to take in the latest folly=97and also self-rescue mission=97of the transpl= ant.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, I am very excited to share the news that my first feature DAREDEVILS will premiere at the 2013 New York Film Festival's "Views from the Avant-Garde" this October. The screening will take place at Lincoln Center's Francesca Beale Theater on Thursday October 3 at 6pm. If you would like to attend this screening (and I hope you will!) you can order tickets here: http://www.filmlinc.com/films/on-sale/program-1-stephanie-barber-daredevils Here is a trailer & other information: http://daredevilsmovie.com/ [image: Inline image 1] A portrait of risk and language, the experimental narrative DAREDEVILS, presents a writer as she interviews a well-known artist and feels the reverberations of their discussion throughout her day. Visually spare, still and verbose, the video considers three formal handlings of language= =97a dialog, two monologues and a song. Starring KimSu Theiler , Flora Coker and Adam Robinson , shot by Matthew Thompson , and featuring the voices of Susan Howe and Jenny Graf, DAREDEVILS constructs a metaphor of an artist=92s life and work as daredevilry. The piece was written and directed by Stephanie Barber. The piece sits gently between video art, narrative and poetic essay. The classic rising action, climax and denouement are sculpted, not by cause and effect, but by the subtle movements to and from understanding that are inherent in conversation. Bubbles of intimacy are blown and popped, begin to be blown again. Thanks for reading!

The writer stated: "We=92re looking for more information on Il Gruppo in general, and are keen to see them really wrestle with this [Yepez's] work and literary history. Rumors circulate that they=92re looking to publish a small book on the matter. We=92ll keep you posted. "(Harriet Staff) Il Gruppo obliged and sent Harriet more info, as requested, but Harriet could not post it, stating that they only provide links to other sites. So Il Gruppo sent it to the UK poetics list, from where this statement below is taken: We appreciate Harriet's interest for "more information" about Il Gruppo, and will be glad to provide it in the near future. For now, and just to clarify: we are not, as Harriet writes "really wrestling" with [Heriberto] Yepez's work [on Charles Olson]. There are much larger stakes here. Here is one brief analogy to highlight the stakes, which have more to do with how history is recorded and received than with Yepez=E2=80=99s so-c= alled theories. If someone came along and wrote a book called The Geographies of Undoing, for example, which stated: "I am not interested in Ammiel Alcalay but I am declaring that he is a Zionist, that, in fact, he is the prime example of a duplicitous, chameleon-like figure who, on the one hand, purports to examine cultural politics through geography while, on the other, dominates and collapses that geography into terms that serve his Zionist purposes: to turn time into space. While most of his readers may be unaware of this, his Zionism can only be discerned by a closer examination of his relationship to his father who, in fact, belonged to a Zionist youth group. Thus, we have the classic case of the child unable to slay the father: the return, as it were, of the repressed. Hence, Zionism." Were someone to write such a book or make such a statement, we would hope that a response might be forthcoming, a response from people who actually know Alcalay's work and his long-standing political and cultural allegiances with Palestinian groups and issues.We would hope that a response would be forthcoming from students, former students, writers, peers, friends, family or, in fact, any parties with more than a passing interest in verifying the historical record. We realize this may be a lot, even too much, to ask. But at least one can strive=E2=80=94an= d in this case Il Gruppo is striving-- towards a more collective intelligence that serves to expose baseless assertions, distortions, and outright lies before they gain momentum. As is known, Il Gruppo is looking for the space and form where such issues as we are raising will be forced into the open, perhaps in the shape of a small book, if anyone wants to contact us about publishing one.

Free A hat will be passed. More info: http://abseries.org ** Just Saying, RAE ARMANTROUTs most recent book of poems, was published by Wesleyan University Press in 2013. Just Saying launches in Ottawa on October 3, 2013 when Armantrout reads in A B Series. Versed (Wesleyan, 2009) received the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. It was also a finalist for the National Book Award. Next Life (Wesleyan, 2007) was chosen as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2007 by The New York Times. Other recent books include Money Shot (Wesleyan, 2011,) Collected Prose (Singing Horse, 2007), Up to Speed (Wesleyan, 2004), The Pretext (Green Integer, 2001), and Veil: New and Selected Poems (Wesleyan University Press, 2001). Her poems have been included in anthologies such as The Best of the Best American Poetry: 1988-2012 (2013), The Norton Anthology of Postmodern American Poetry (2013), The Open Door: 100 Poems, 100 Years of Poetry Magazine, (Chicago, 2012), American Hybrid (Norton, 2009), American Women Poets in the 21 Century: Where Language Meets the Lyric Traditionst, (Wesleyan, 2002), The Oxford Book of American Poetry (Oxford, 2006) and The Best American Poetry of 1988, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012. Armantrout received an award in poetry from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts in 2007 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2008. She is Professor of Poetry and Poetics at the University of California, San Diego. Writing in Poetry magazine, Ange Mlinko has said, I would trade the bulk of contemporary anecdotal free verse for more incisive, chilling poetry like Armantrouts. RON SILLIMAN has written and edited over 30 books, and has had his poetry and criticism translated into 12 languages. He has worked as a political activist, editor, and market analyst. Among his honors, Silliman was a 2012 Kelly Writers House Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, and the 2010 recipient of the Levinson Prize, from the Poetry Foundation. His sculpture poetry (Bury Neon) is permanently on display in the transit centre of Bury, Lancashire, and he has a plaque in the walk dedicated to poetry in his home town of Berkeley, although he now lives in Chester County, Pennsylvania. His new book is Revelator (BookThug, 2013). Revelator is the opening poem in a major sequence entitled Universe. Its the jumping off point for a work that, were Ron Silliman to live long enough, would take him three centuries to complete. We are hopeful. Universe is a poem of globalization and post-global poetics (an important reason for publishing this key section outside of the USA). At its core, it addresses the problem that there are only two global systems: the biosphere and capital, while every response to these global systems is invariably local. The first appearance of Revelator in a journal won Poetrys Levinson prize, previously given to poets such as Robert Creeley, Theodore Roethke, Geoffrey Hill, John Ashbery, Robert Duncan, Basil Bunting, William Carlos Williams, Dylan Thomas, Hart Crane, Robert Frost, and Wallace Stevens. Revelator launches in Ottawa on October 3, 2013 when Silliman reads in A B Series. -- writer/editor/publisher ; ottawater, above/ground press + Chaudiere Books (www.chaudierebooks.com) ; coord., SPAN-O + ottawa small press fair poetry - Songs for little sleep, (obvious epiphanies press) ; 2nd novel - missing persons ; abovegroundpress.blogspot.com ; robmclennan.blogspot.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

While in college at the University of Wisconsin--Madison in 1981, Charles teamed up with Alison Circle to form the Black Mesa Press, which issued dozens of limited-edition books and broadsides by exciting and important contemporary poets. Typeset, printed, and bound by hand (often using handmade papers), the productions of the Black Mesa Press exemplified a turn taken by a number of fine presses in the 1980s, away from familiar and safe texts and toward experimental and innovative writers. With a move to Tucson in 1984, Chax Press was born. Though making books by hand has remained an important touchstone for the press, Chax committed itself from the start to providing challenging work by innovative poets in handsome, affordable trade editions. For thirty years, Charles and company have pursued a critical and exploratory poetics of publishing, through all the varied means at their disposal. This exhibition of books and broadsides, which merely hints at the scope and richness of their accomplishments, coincides with the publication of two new Chax books by Portland poets: /?The Notebook of False Purgatories/ by Standard Schaefer, and /The Identification of Ghosts/ by Maryrose Larkin. *Exhibition conceived and organized by David Abel / Passages Bookshop** ** */The organizer extends grateful acknowledgments to Charles Alexander for his participation, and for the loan of materials from the Chax Press archive; to Mack McFarland and Pacific Northwest College of Art for providing gallery space and technical support; to Adam Davis and Kate Schaefer at Division Leap for the loan of display cases, and to James Yeary, Sam Lohmann, and Jim Clinefelter for help with installation.// / For more information, contact: *Passages Bookshop / David Abel** */info@passagesbookshop.com// /503-233-4562 * Chax Press / Charles Alexander** */www.chax.org// / ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.
