Dear John,

I m so sorry about the ban on doing a simple google name search!  Good thing Catherine has special immunity against my bans. 

I hereby lift the ban:  you may now look up the blog of the person you blind-voted for. Thanks for being so invested in his blogging! When you do finally locate his blog, please  share it with us...no ban on that today!

Thanks,

Amy

Message-ID: <8CCB7690D120E71-1F44-85D3@webmail-m029.sysops.aol.com>


http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/episodes/april-30-2010/mary-karr/6188/

KARR: We got out, and we got in the car, and he?s buckling his seatbelt, and I said, ?So was God there?? And he?s like, ?Well, yeah,? like where were you? So that was when I decided that, for him, we would find a place of worship.

VALENTE: Karr says she still equated most organized religions with something people just did socially. Then one day she passed a Catholic church in Syracuse, New York, where she was teaching. She was struck by a banner out front. It said, ?Sinners Welcome.?

KARR: I thought I had a better shot at becoming a pole dancer at 40, right, than of making it in the Catholic Church, and I think what struck me really wasn?t the grandeur of the Mass. It was the simple faith of the people. For me this whole journey was a journey into awe. I would just get these moments of quiet where there wasn?t anything. My head would just shut up, and I knew that was a good thing. And also the carnality of the church: there was a body on the cross.

It's ?an exercise for community building,? said Laura Hope-Gill, Asheville poet and executive director of Asheville Wordfest, a four-day festival kicking off Wednesday.

Now in its third year, about 1,200 people are expected to attend the event's workshops and performances, featuring award-winning poets hailing from Asheville and some from as far away as Chile. (Find the schedule on Page B3 .)

?When I first started, I expected 50 people to come, and we had more than 1,200,? Hope-Gill said. Part of this wide appeal may be because Wordfest's focus goes beyond the poetry on the page.

With 2 Special Features, and yours truly!
Anny



Issue #17 of Otoliths <http://the-otolith.blogspot.com/>, the southern
autumn, 2010 issue, has just gone live. Four years old today!



&, since it's also May Day, I was going to have Billy Bragg singing "The
Internationale" <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk69e1Vcmvg> as
background?you can, if you've got a server that opens links in a new window,
still have it: just click on the link?but there's enough in this issue to
allow an unaccompanied announcement. As befits a 4th birthday issue, it's a
bit more packed than normal. In addition to the usual broad selection of
paintings, prose, photographs, sermons, assemblages, poetry of all shapes,
sizes, & styles, &, as always, a large offering of vizpo, the issue also
includes two special features; one of which, since it was to have been a

Wakeling, John Martone, Jessie Janeshek, Thomas Fink (reviewing David
Lehman's *Yeshiva Boys*), & Emma Smith.



The first special feature is ROCKPILE on the
road<
http://the-otolith.blogspot.com/2010/02/from-rockpile-on-road-poems-by-michael.html
>,
with poems by Michael Rothenberg & David Meltzer, photos by Terri Carri?n, &
an introduction by Larry Sawyer.



The second special feature is
Poet-Editors<
http://the-otolith.blogspot.com/2010/04/poet-editors-front-page.html>,
curated & introduced by Eileen R. Tabios. 43 poet-editors respond to the
question: *"**What is (or has been) your favorite editing project and why?"
The respondees, who also provide?sometimes quite extensive?samples of their
work, are: *William Allegrezza, Ivy Alvarez, Anny Ballardini, Joi Barrios,
John Bloomberg-Rissman, Ana Bo?i?evi?, Garrett Caples, Brian Clements, Bruce

*ALGIERS*: Photographs

Jean-Pierre Hautecoeur

Charles Martin



*OPENING RECEPTION*: *7-9 pm, Thursday evening, May 6, 2010*



THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER

50 W 23rd St. (between 5th and 6th Avenues)

7th Floor

New York, NY 10010



Exhibition: May 6- July 2, 2010



Monday to Thursday: 11 AM-8 PM

Friday: 11 AM-7 PM

Saturday: 9:30 AM-3:30 PM

Sunday: Closed



Algiers, in more than 30 photographs, is southern Mediterranean, North
African, Berber, Arabic, French, religious, secular, post-colonial,
bustling, intimate, architectural, organic. Jean-Pierre Hautecouer spent
from 2004-2007 in the city and lived in the old sector, the casbah. Charles
Martin visited Algiers during the summer, 2009, a guest of the Algerian
Ministry of Culture for the 2nd Pan African Festival (PANAF 2009) of
Algiers. He contributed photographs and an essay to the current issue of the
New York University journal *Black Renaissance* (10.1, Spring 2010).
Hautecoeur?s photographs are part of a global work incorporated into a film
co-directed with the French journalist Anne Cazal?s in 2007.



The casbah can be thought of as a ?town inside a city? with codes and
rituals of its own. Its singular way of life emanates from cool patios,
gardens with fountains, jasmine and precious architecture in old Muslim and
Turkish houses, hammams (steam baths), collective living, sharing, and a
high art of caf? conversation that takes pleasure in argument and humor,
alike. UNESCO has registered this section of Algiers as elemental to world
heritage. Even so, the casbah faces social crisis as it has become a place
where the impoverished come to live, unable to rent housing elsewhere. Today
the casbah is almost in ruins in parts and without clear leadership to
resolve its issues. At the same time, Algiers is a modern, prosperous city,
sprawling and doing business with the continent and much of the world.



Biography

Jean-Pierre Hautec?ur was born in 1959 in Rennes (Brittany) France. Painter,
sculptor and photographer, he holds a diploma from the Art School Les Beaux

crafts in Paris at the famous Ecole Boulle.  Subsequently he worked some
years as a decorator for the Rennes Opera and in 1988 entered the Louis
Lumiere school in Paris, dedicated to cinema, art form and art movies in
France. He graduated three years later as a director of photography and
worked on various feature-length and short movies, publicity and advertising
in France, South Africa, Algeria and Mongolia. He has worked in the last ten
years with directors such as Emir Kusturica and Philippe de Broca. At the
same time, he carries out personal work in documentaries and photography. As
a reporter he works for the French press and news magazines (VSD, PRISMA
Group). This two-person show is Hautecoeur?s first exhibition in New York.

Amy just wanted to thank you for posting that James Baldwin
interview-- the interviewer questions and Baldwin's answers seem to me
dramatic & profound. I'm still thinking about Baldwin's question to
the audience and don't yet have an answer for it.

& Jim (Finnegan) -- thanks for the ref to the Borges lectures -- I got
them and just finished listening to them. Nourishing!

Poetry reviews: "The Apple Trees at Olema" and "The Best of It"
Two of America's best known poets offer new collections for poetry month. 

By Elizabeth Lund / April 26, 2010 
When major poets release their collections of ?new and selected poems,? fans often ask two questions: Do the compilations provide valuable insights? Are the new poems as good as the old ones? In many cases, the answer to one or both is no, and what should have been a literary milestone feels like repackaging. 

Readers are hoping for two affirmatives from Robert Hass and Kay Ryan this spring.

Well, if I were having a book of poems published, I'd be less concerned as 
to whether or not the printer read poetry than that he was competent at his

Thanks, Crisman - for sure, his thinking was incisive and compelling ... and still challenges today.  I never really have the answers but thinking in the ways he doesn't let us escape or ignore seems worthwhile plus!

It's a website, Robin, not a book.  The position is manager, not 
printer.  Of course, this site would not deal with anything bu standard 
poetry, but a genuine poetry site would deal with poetries a "manager" 
would need quite a bit of knowledge properly to deal with.  As would, 
actually, a printer dealing with visual and infraverbal poetry.  In 
which case you want accurate reproduction, not glitz produced by 
"emerging technologies."

Website design is another language unto itself.  When someone determines this page must present this content in this manner and include comment boxes that scroll, add audio boxes here and there, etc that person should be proficient in his or her abilities to design web-specific pages, present content, etc. using html and the other more difficult design languages, whether he or she can dig a poem or not.  Do poets who enjoy using websites inversely need to know how to create one?  I wouldn't actually reduce any web manager's skill set to 'glitz,' though presentation, which is implied in the term "glitz' certainly is a primary facet of learning that skill set.  Is the kind of poetry the manager must like be specific, Bob?  Visual over prose poems over sonnets?  Or are we talking schools of poetry?  

More importantly, the two (managing and liking poetry) are not mutually exclusive; hence, the PF web person's request that I post this call to poetry listservs.  **And the fact that she notes "than to have someone who?s completely current with or even part of the poetry scene"  does not substantiate your divisive claim of "no knowledge of poetry."  One can appreciate, and even write poetry, without "being part of the scene" or being "completely current with" it.  **

Quick answers to what I think you're saying, Amy:
one should want a person fluent in all kinds of poetry
and knowledgeable about everything connected with
putting up a website.  I merely would prefer one able to
put up an adequate website (with no interest in "emerging
technologies"--although, sure, they could contribute) who
is conversant with contemporary poetry to one with as
little knowledge of it as the Poetry Foundation people but
a yow at web-design.

No more on this.  I'm just popping off at one of my favorite
Enemies of Poetry.

This Land Is Your Land

In the squares of the city--in the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office--I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

America's poets have a minimal presence in American civic discourse and a minuscule public role in the life of American democracy. I find this condition perplexing and troubling--both for poetry and for democracy. Because when I look at American poetry from the perspective of a fellow traveler, I see an art invested in various complex, fascinating, historical, and sometimes shop-worn literary debates. I see a twenty-first-century enterprise that's thriving in the off-the-beaten-track corners of the nation's cities and college towns. 

But at the same time that poetry's various coteries are consumed with art-affirming debates over poetics and styles, American poetry and America's poets remain amazingly inconsequential to the rest of the nation's civic, democratic, political, and public life.

Seems rather like observing that dogcatchers have little impact
in the public political arena.

A well functioning site is worth all the poetry it contains. These my couple
of cents. And working with pc's is an incredible act of art, this I can say
after 2 pc crashes and tentatively typing while expecting the worst any
moment.

Didn't you receive a reply, Anny?

I haven't researched it (I haven't edited such an issue as a vis-po one), but doesn't Jessica Smith do Vispo?  Surely there are other women, no?

I am scrolling down the index of the Corner. Sheila Murphy has been working
with images lately. Tiare Picard could do anything, but she has been hiding
for a while. Berty Skuber is a great artist who writes and draws and mixes
media. Also Eileen Tabios can be mentioned, seen the care by which she edits
her books, in-between visual and written.

My guess is that we got submissions from possibly a dozen women, but 
several of them sent ordinary poems, or texts with illustrations, or 
labeled photographs.  And we /did/ get some good stuff from women that 
just missed the cut.  We probably had forty male submitters.

Well, it ain't for lack of trying, as Poets Against the War must have 
shown.

One problem is that most (not all) of the poets I know are liberal-left in 
their politics, which makes any kind of meaningful political debate less 
likely to happen.  They're primarily preaching to the choir, fully expecting 
that they'll be agreed with--without the need to be rhetorically persuasive 
towards those who are politically different.  

There's also a great absence of occasional and/or satirical verse.  Where 
is it going to be published?  On a blog?  OK.  But who's going to see it 
there?

The other problem is that a lot of poets don't write in a style that's 
likely to move the vox populi.  They've already got a lot of prejudices against 
poetry, and the little that they see may tend to confirm them.

There's a lower level of political verse nowadays because most of us, I 
suspect, generally agree with what Obama is doing.  A few years ago, when Bush 
was in office, there was plenty of it.

Just an observation--not to take sides.

Big Box
 
In the big box boutique, a 747 is modeling lingerie
before admiring corporate investors. You?re just making
that up, but it?s early in the morning and rank after rank 
of the fluorescent light bays are turning on, over the aisles, 
over the miles of metal shelving, beneath signs strung  
from gantries proclaiming: HOUSEWARES, WOMEN?S, 
MEN?S, SPORTING GOODS, GROCERY, PHARMACY?
Already the cash register lines are open, waiting. They want
to cap your wage rate, they want to deny you health care,
they?d rather you not join a union. And if it isn?t too much 
trouble, they?d prefer that the only place you can afford
to shop should be built on the far side of the moon,
and everything therein made by workers on the other side 
of this world, grateful the global economy values their currency 
as straw. So they pass an ordinance, no big box can be built 
within a short flight from their neighborhoods. As you enter 
the storosaurus, they scan the barcode tattooed on the underside 
of your forearm. It?s easier that way. Then they know who you 
are, where you live, how much you have, and what you want.

I'm a published poet and I've also spent ten years produing top tier,  
award winning commercial websites in Australia. I'm across both  
worlds. (If this job existed in Sydney I would go for it!).

Designing a successful site is not an accidental outcome. It takes a  
range of highly skilled practitioners who typically aren't also  
experts in the content domain of the site.

Any decent user experience professional who designs this site will  
take the time to familiarize themselves with the domain, the concerns  
of the site owners and the site users, and then bring to the design  
process a sense of what is the most appropriate mix of technology.

As the job description says, there is a separate role for the site  
editor who is undoubtedly the one who will manage the content.

In my experience the Foundation is taking the most sensible approach,  
and Bob's concerns are, in this case, unfounded.

Why Aren't Poets More Political?

Why don't poets run for office more,
or at least pay their parking tickets on time?
Why can't poets remember to turn off
their left turn signals for mile upon mile?
Are most poets idiots, or just persons
with a high tolerance for nectar?
Why must poets sing in public, like children
or saints?  Is it just me, or do poets all wear
similar shoes?  If you burned down 
a poetry bookstore, if you could find 
such a thing, would the earth wobble
on its axis?  Even a teensy little bit?
And when you burned all the poetry away
would there be any poets who could resist
writing about it?  Why are the poets being
so quiet now?  Are they thinking preliminary
and marvelous thoughts?  Or just lost
in a feedback loop like a bird at a window?
Isn't it too quiet in here?  Why aren't the poets
writing?  Is it something we said?   Are poets
mad at us, as if we the acknowledged legislators
stole their parking spots for all eternity?
Why isn't a poet President?  Or is a poet
President?  Premier?  CEO of clouds?
Why can't we seem to name any living poets, 
we who can reel off our fifth grade roster 
like a charm? Must we always listen to 
sermons quoting Robert Frost and Paul Simon
in the same paragraph?  Has anyone 
outside of a classroom read Paradise Regained
all the way to the end?  Why aren't more poets
Republicans?  I mean, good poets.  
Do poets have any good ideas about deficit
reduction?  Fighting white collar crime?
Reducing our nuclear arsenal?  After all, they've 
reduced their own shadows year after year,
life after life, until all that's left of most poets
is an ambiguous stain on the garage floor.
Is the average garage political?  Are you
sufficiently political, and if so, why
are you reading this?  Are you merely
pretending to be a poet, or what?  
In the old days, poets hurled spears,
swigged mead, and scared even the cats.
Nowadays, poets are dangerous as maps, 
but not because there are any monsters
at the edge.  No, it's because the poets
have no idea which way is north, or 
why we've always called that way True.

As for political poems, there is plenty of it and nearly all of it 
stinks.  Luckily, it topically stinks and so fades with the news cycle.  If this guy, or anyone else, thinks there's not much political poetry, he's 
obviously never been to a slam.

Actually, though, the article isn't about why there aren't more political poems, but why there aren't more poets involved--non-poetically--in politics, as in public speaking, prose writing, running for office, etc.  As the author wrote, "I mean to question American poets' intractable and often disdainful disinterest in participating in the public political arena outside the realm of poetry."

It's a load of crap, in my opinion.  There's the usual misty-eyed look back at how we "once lived," after which he rails into modern culture.  Yawn.  Blah, blah.  He seems to think that a few poets in the right political place and, tada!, we'll all join hands and sing.  He has a rather over-inflated opinion of poets in general; listen to this: "American civic life needs an honest broker, one who possesses the poet's core values of illumination, imagination, reflection, and sincerity."  Oh my.  Someone needs to change this guy's underwear.

America's poets have a minimal presence in American civic discourse and a minuscule public role in the life of American democracy. I find this condition perplexing and troubling--both for poetry and for democracy. Because when I look at American poetry from the perspective of a fellow traveler, I see an art invested in various complex, fascinating, historical, and sometimes shop-worn literary debates.

I guess we are all scared. People can see but after the guillotine,
tortures, harassment of all kinds, manipulations, hunger, exiles, well,
maybe better write acrostics and let posterity - a' la Dickinson - try to
make sense of the times as they were.

What he has is an over-inflated opinion of politics.  I avoid it because 
I consider the pursuit of beauty and the search for truth infinitely 
more valuable than than the quest to tell other people what to do, which 
is about all politics, in practice, is.

I agree with what that Gwynn guy said.  But, years ago, I wrote a
review of Rachel Loden's HOTEL IMPERIUM, a book of political poetry,
in which I attempted to explain that what white dudes hanging around
politicians (from wikipedia:  Since 2008 Biespiel has been a
contributor to The Politico's Arena, a cross-party, cross-discipline
daily conversation about politics and policy among current and former
members of Congress, governors, mayors, political strategists and
scholars) are looking for in political poems seems to be the political
poem of the 30s (most of which are, indeed, terrible, as though the
workers would unite only to doggerel), or the political poem from
eastern europe after (pick a world war).  Not even the poems Nixon
staffers wrote in presidential limos.

They are looking in the wrong place.  They are overlooking larger
ideas of "politics":  almost all of language poetry is political, and
so are poetries influenced by it.  All feminist poetry is political.
 There is a great deal of "identity poetics" that is political, and
beyond that -- is C. S. Giscombe *not* political?  Susan Schulz?  Are
they looking for "issue based" political poetry, but not finding it in
African-American poetry, Asian American poetry, Latin@ Poetry?

There are several presses in addition to Copper Canyon, including O
Books, factory school, Tinfish, who publish series of political books
of poetry.

I agree with the Daly chick and the Gwynn guy, but probably more with 
Catherine (and my apologies -- couldn't resist). But perhaps we need a 
good onlne journal of occasional and/or satirical verse. And who better 
to run it than Sam?

I would like to add, re.: Schultz, that every single booklet published by
Tinfish is a great achievement. And yes, also to Copper Canyon.

Love that bit. I'm reading _Reality Hunger_ right now. It's
intriguing, enraging, interesting-- many things.

"he sound."

re :why arent poets more political by AMY KKING   -VIEWPOINT BY GBEMI TIJANI
MSTcant
Nature -mother earth alone is sufficient for poetising than just human
foibes common in politics .Though of course there are a wide excess of
matter and philosophy created by human mentation that might absorb poets of
all ages to neglect or prioritise politics as a stock in trade nature is
grander and sometimes could even grip all of the cerebrals to express or
unfurl whta has been agitating human mind.The deep cavern of the mind is
fertile insofar as natre and its enormous ubiquitous elements abound.
Even then poets of any era that we ve witneONOURABLE AND POETIC?
ssed arent that apolitical.Chaucer et al till the WOLE SOYINKA OF NOBEL
PRIZE 1986 cant be indifferent to politics .I ve just a comment on the same
issue in another website The Nigerian Guardian online.In fact Chinua ACHEBE
AND WOLE SOYINKA once contested for political post under the PRP -MAINLY TO
ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ORIENTATION OF THE POLITICIANS.POLITICS NOW is
inexxtricanlly linked with wealthy reward than any other ocupation.SHOULD
THAT ATTRACT POETS GLOBALLY? pOLITICIANS ARE NT SERVING PRODCUTIVELY IN
DEVELOPING STATES -IS THIS H
Poets ought to be consistently consientious and unpathologically  critical
of the status quo.However the social decorum of politics as it is today is
beyond the surveillance of poets alone.Poets ought to dish out their musings
and be  literally responsible insofar as their productions serve as
empirical or raw material for other  cues in the society such as
musicians,dramatista writers of other genre,comedians
,jesters,humourists,drummers,lawyers,teachers and the clergy.
Poets alone can t change the moral tone or general credibility expected of
rulers and leader sof policcy making.It should be jointly monitored and
performed via electoral process.Poets ought not to keep aloof from voting
too.Its unpoetic if poets dont vote.Or again poetise insicipline if
politicians  become moronic or cleptomanic on assumption of office.
Todya's politics offer a lot of  luculian food for thought for poets ..

and presence of opponents of JUNE 12 WHICH 'S FRANKLY THE womb of true
democracy in Nigeria. Acting otherwise will send wrong or double signals to
the patriots. In fact some still believe that unless the June 12 election is
upheld and declared as it was -true statehood is elusive. Notably Nigeria
has added a lot of lexicon to Africa. We should all be bold to invite
credible worthier to Nigerian political scene -why practicing indefinite
diachiachical monarchy? Military -civilian politicians have ruled enough
please permit virgin souls to govern this country and lets see them perform
leadership that will impact productivity and civicality - a new orientation
of value systems peace & love inclusive. Not just the inordinate passion to
rule!

I m optimistic that could be so resourceful beyond 2020 dream - we could
emerge as a super power nation but not as a super consumerist state alone as
it is now1

corroborative article ?amplifying why our democracy is pedestrian in

 Sentimental Education

by Tony Hoagland<http://www.elabs7.com/c.html?rtr=on&s=fj6,ld90,dv,jfau,1gch,3hrs,fxvj>

And when we were eight, or nine,
our father took us back into the Alabama woods,
found a rotten log, and with his hunting knife

pried off a slab of bark
to show the hundred kinds of bugs and grubs
that we would have to eat in a time of war.

"The ones who will survive," he told us,
looking at us hard,
"are the ones who are willing to do anything."
Then he popped one of those pale slugs
into his mouth and started chewing.

And that was Lesson Number 4
in *The Green Beret Book of Childrearing*.

I looked at my pale, scrawny, knock-kneed, bug-eyed brother,
who was identical to me,
and saw that, in a world that ate the weak,
we didn't have a prayer,

and next thing I remember, I'm working for a living
at a boring job
that I'm afraid of losing,

with a wife whose lack of love for me
is like a lack of oxygen,
and this dead thing in my chest
that used to be my heart.

Oh, if he were alive, I would tell him, "Dad,
you were right! I ate a lot of stuff
far worse than bugs."

And I was eaten, I was eaten,
I was picked up
and chewed
and swallowed

down into the belly of the world.

Oxford poetry professor field narrows to final 11After nominations close, frontrunner Geoffrey Hill goes up against 10 others

A biographer, a journalist, a clinical neuropsychologist and a Sanskrit scholar ? as well a few professional poets ? make up the final runners and riders for the position of Oxford professor of poetry after nominations closed this week.

Eminent English poet Geoffrey Hill is widely seen as the frontrunner for the post, the most prominent in British poetry behind the poet laureate. Backed by Professor Hermione Lee, author and president of Wolfson College, Oxford, and broadcaster Tim Gardam, principal of St Anne's College, the award-winning 77-year-old Hill has been nominated by more than 70 Oxford graduates and is the best-known name in the running. His appointment could help dispel the sordid air that has hung around the professorship since the resignation of Ruth Padel from the position last year, after it emerged that she had alerted journalists to sexual harassment allegations made against Nobel laureate and fellow contender Derek Walcott.

In celebration of the Terra Summer Residency?s tenth anniversary and as a
tribute to the foundation?s mission to foster exploration of American art
across national boundaries, the international symposium, ?Geographies of
Art: Sur le Terrain,? will examine the state of the field of American art in
a global context. For three days, prominent art historians and artists will
explore the cultural and conceptual implications of such a context through
papers and discussions that provide international perspectives and encourage
lively exchange?the two fundamental premises of the Terra Summer Residency.
The conference will address a number of broad questions, with each day
shaped to more specifically reflect on issues of ?geography? and art.

NY Botanical Garden mounts exhibit featuring Emily Dickinson's favourite flowers
By Jim Fitzgerald (CP) ? 18 hours ago

NEW YORK, N.Y. ? They're growing dandelions at the New York Botanical Garden. On purpose.

The Edenic estate in the Bronx has mounted an exhibition called "The Poetry of Flowers." It focuses on the 19th-century poet Emily Dickinson, whose verse and letters described blossoms of all kinds and who was better known, when she lived, as a gardener than as a poet.

It's a wide-ranging indoor and outdoor springtime show, incorporating a breathtaking display of flowering plants in the Enid A. Haupt conservatory, a collection of 60 Dickinson-related artifacts in a gallery and dozens of outdoor stations that highlight her poems in the midst of the flowers she celebrated.

Subject: [New-Poetry] Singer and Vegetarianism
Message-ID: <AANLkTiktuNgCrM2WPEQjhGhZto2yHPM5NSqwVhd_1QFF@mail.gmail.com>

Pasting from Wikipedia under Isaac Singer:

Singer was a prominent vegetarian <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarian>[
17] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Bashevis_Singer#cite_note-16> for
the last 35 years of his life and often included vegetarian themes in his
works. In his short story, *The Slaughterer*, he described the anguish of an
appointed slaughterer trying to reconcile his compassion for animals with
his job of killing them. He felt that the ingestion of meat was a denial of
all ideals and all religions: "How can we speak of right and justice if we
take an innocent creature and shed its blood?" When asked if he had become a
vegetarian for health reasons, he replied: "I did it for the health of the
chickens."

In *The Letter Writer*, he wrote "In relation to [animals], all people are
Nazis; for the animals, it is an eternal
Treblinka."[18]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Bashevis_Singer#cite_note-17>

In the preface to Steven Rosen's "Food for Spirit: Vegetarianism and the
World Religions" (1986), Singer wrote, "When a human kills an animal for
food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice. Man prays for mercy, but
is unwilling to extend it to others. Why should man then expect mercy from
God? It's unfair to expect something that you are not willing to give. It is
inconsistent. I can never accept inconsistency or injustice. Even if it
comes from God. If there would come a voice from God saying, "I'm against
vegetarianism!" I would say, "Well, I am for it!" This is how strongly I
feel in this regard."

Does Poetry Matter?
By GREGORY COWLES

Sometimes the planets align and you start seeing the same idea discussed by different people everywhere you look, as if your brain had stumbled late at night across a niche cable station broadcast by the universe itself. For me lately the show has been all about the relevance of poetry, as in: Is poetry relevant? Even among poets there seems to be a nervous consensus that it?s not.

Writing in the latest issue of Poetry magazine, for example, David Biespiel argues that ?American poetry and America?s poets remain amazingly inconsequential to the rest of the nation?s civic, democratic, political and public life.? He suggests, a little hopefully and a little bitingly, that this decline in significance stems from a lack of political involvement. ?The poet who engages democratic dialogue and political life is the renegade,? he writes, ?while the one who lives on the margins, settles into tenured existence or remains committed to engaging only other like-minded types has aligned himself with something that in its best, purest and most satisfying form is bourgeois comfort.?

I had some fun substituting ?pipe fitter? for ?poet? throughout Biespiel?s essay (?As go America?s pipe fitters, so goes American democracy?), because, really, shouldn?t everyone be more engaged?

I just posted the following on another list where people were jovially
talking of poetical politics. It might be of interest to some on this list,
too.


*Professional Background*
Nay Phone Latt, 29, is an influential Burmese blogger and political
dissident. A youth member of the National League for Democracy, the
opposition party in Burma that will soon be dissolved by new election laws,
Nay Phone Latt also owns several Internet cafes in Rangoon. His Burmese
language blog, which is not explicitly political, has been praised by
foreign media such as the BBC for providing invaluable news regarding the
military crackdown in Burma in 2007 during a period of particularly strong
censorship. He is also a poet.

*Current Status*
On November 16, 2008, Nay Phone Latt was transferred from Insein Prison to
Pa-an Prison in Karen state, 135 miles from Rangoon. He joins the ranks of
political dissidents who have been transferred to isolated regional prisons
with poor or nonexistent medical care and limited food. Many families of
these prisoners have reportedly been prevented from visiting.

On February 20, 2009, a court in Rangoon reduced Nay Phone Latt?s sentence
by eight and a half years, leaving him to serve 12 years in prison. Family
members continue to express concern for Nay Phone Latt?s health.   *Case
History*
Nay Phone Latt was arrested on January 29, 2008, under section 5 (J) of the
1950 Emergency Provision Act, which criminalizes any attempt to ?disrupt
morality? or to ?disrupt security, stability or the restoration of order.?
Initially held at the Interior Ministry, he was transferred in early
February 2008 to Insein Prison, famous for its inhumane conditions, where he
had restricted contact to his family and legal assistance.

After being held for over nine months, Nay Phone Latt was sentenced by a
specially-assembled court to a combined 20 years and six months in prison on
November 10, 2008. The court, formed to prosecute political dissidents
within prison walls, was closed to the public, and Nay Phone Latt?s mother
was banned from attending the hearing. Nay Phone Latt was not allowed legal
representation after his lawyer was sentenced to prison time for contempt
while protesting unfair hearings.
The total sentence imposed upon Nay Phone Latt consisted of two years for
violating Article 505 (b) of the Criminal Code, which punishes defamation of
the state, three years and six months for violating Article 32 (b) of the
Video Act, and 15 years for violating Article 33 (a) of the Electronics Act.
The Electronics Act, which contains provisions establishing long prison
terms for disseminating news that is considered to tarnish the image of the
government, has been used increasingly to silence political voices since the
protests in 2007.
When China was bidding for the Olympics in 2001, the Chinese government made
explicit promises to improve its human rights record. But the Olympics have
come and gone, with little or no progress for freedom of expression in
China. Chinese writers continue to be censored, harassed, and imprisoned
throughout the country. More writers are imprisoned now than ever before.

In December 2008, authorities arrested prominent PEN Member * Liu
Xiaobo*after he co-authored a manifesto calling for greater freedoms
and democracy
in China, which was signed by hundreds citizens from all walks of life. Liu
is being held on suspicion of ?inciting subversion of state power.? If
convicted, he faces at least three years in prison. His case illustrates the
lengths the Chinese government will still go to stifle free expression, and
the determination of Chinese writers to fight for this most basic right. We
stand with them in their struggle.

*Mehbube Ablesh* Uighur writer, poet, and employee at the Xinjiang People?s
Radio Station, a government-run station based in Urumqi, fired from her post
and detained in August 2008. She is reportedly being held for posting
articles critical of the Chinese government and the provincial leadership in
the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. Ablesh is reportedly being held in
Urumqi, however no details of any charges have been made public.   *Chen
Daojun* Freelance writer and journalist, detained May 9, 2008 by the Public
Security Bureau of Jintang County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province and
charged with ?inciting splittism.? The charge most likely stems from an
article Chen published following the Tibetan protests in March which
declared respect to the Tibetan people, defended their basic rights and
condemned the Chinese government?s violent crackdown on protesters. He has
also written articles against governmental projects and the politics of the
Beijing Olympics. The charge was later changed to ?inciting subversion of
state power,? and on November 11, 2008, was sentenced to three years in
prison and three years? deprivation of political rights. Chen is currently
being held in Chuanzhong Prison, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province.   *Chen
Shuqing* Dissident writer and leading member of the Zhejiang Branch of the
banned China Democracy Party (CDP), arrested September 14, 2006 and charged
with ?inciting subversion.? Chen?s case has twice been handed back to the
police for lack of evidence, but on August 14, 2007 he was sentenced to four
years in prison and one year?s deprivation of political rights. His appeal
was rejected without trial by the Zhejiang High People's Court on October
29, 2007. Chen is being held at Qiaosi Prison in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang
Province.   *Du Daobin* Writer and member of the Independent Chinese PEN
Center, re-arrested July 21, 2008 to serve the remaining two years and four
months of his three-year sentence, which had been suspended for four years,
followed by two years? deprivation of political rights Du was convicted on
June 11, 2004 of ?inciting subversion of state power? for 175 words in 26 of
his articles. Now, he stands accused of violating the terms of his sentence
by publishing more than 100 articles on the Internet, leaving the city, and
receiving guests without permission from the police. Du is currently being
held in Hanxi Prison, Wuhan City, Hubei Province.   *Guo Qizhen*
Cyber-dissident
arrested on May 12, 2006 and charged with ?inciting subversion of state
power? for 34 articles he published on overseas web sites attacking the
leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. Guo was sentenced to four years
in prison and three years? deprivation of political rights on October 17,
2006. He is being held in No. 4 Prison of Hebei Province, Shi Jiazhuang
City, and is reportedly nursing a broken leg and is in a fragile
psychological state, possibly due to abuse.   *Guo Quan* Writer and former
professor of literature at Nanjing Normal University, detained November 13,
2008, and charged with ?subversion of state power? on December 19, 2008, for
his online writings. He had been detained for ten days in May 2008 following
the publication of seven articles on mainland Chinese web sites that
criticize the government?s emergency response to the May 12, 2008 Sichuan
earthquake and the safety of certain infrastructures. On October 16, 2009,
the Suqian Intermediate People?s Court in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province,
sentenced Guo Quan to ten years in prison and three years? deprivation of
political rights on the subversion charges. His lawyer, Guo Lianhui, was
forced to withdraw from the pending appeal. Guo Quan is currently being held
at the Detention Center of the Public Security Bureau of Nanjing City,
Jiangsu Province.


*Dawa Gyaltsen* Tibetan dissident arrested in November 1995 for writing
pro-independence pamphlets which were posted in April 1995 as part of
widespread protests against the Chinese authorities. Dawa was charged with
carrying out ?counter-revolutionary propaganda? and is now serving a 15-year
prison sentence. He is currently being held in the notorious Drapchi Prison
in Lhasa. He was reportedly severely tortured under interrogation, and has
suffered numerous forms of abuse in prison, including beatings,
psychological stress, and lack of access to fresh air. When he was first
arrested, he was handcuffed and thrown into a dark room without food for 10
days.   *Hada* Owner of the Mongolian Academic Bookstore and founder and
editor-in-chief of underground journal *The Voice of Southern Mongolia*,
arrested December 10, 1995 and sentenced to 15 years in prison and four
years? deprivation of political rights for ?inciting separatism and
espionage? on December 6, 1996. Hada is currently being held at No. 4 Prison
of Inner Mongolia in Chi Feng (Ulaan-Hada) City, and is suffering from
stomach ulcers and coronary heart disease.   ....

*Save Whomever We Can*
by George Packer
* The New Republic
*
A few days ago, the brother of my friend Osman was one of seven Sunni
workers in a shop in a mixed neighborhood of western Baghdad who were
rounded up at gunpoint by Mahdi Army militiamen and taken to the local Shia
mosque. There, they were taunted about Saddam Hussein's death sentence and
then, one by one, shot in the head.

*November 20, 2006 | Omar Ghanim Fathi | Republic of Dreams* The New York
Times:

I wrote nine articles for that newspaper. One of them won a competition for
the best essay on democracy and liberty in Iraq. It was a big competition,
and I won. What I said, simply, was that liberty is just like your own
spirit, your own soul: nobody can give it to you, but anybody can take it
away from you. My photo appeared in the paper with the article.

I was a lecturer at an institute, and I started receiving threats from my
students ? directly, face to face: ?You deserve to die.? And my boss said,
?You?ve been a traitor to your religion and your country.? Insurgents slid
threatening letters under my door. My mother was terrified. I?m her only
son.

The terrorists do not necessarily attack you personally. They attack
sisters, kidnap sons, mothers. We are in a war against dishonorable enemies.
The only thing that I had, the only weapon to defend myself, was my pen and
my words, but the solution for them was not discussion, not disagreeing with
me, but shooting me.

They shot dead a salesman who came to our door, because they mistook him for
me. We sold the house and went to live with my sister.


New York City, January 13, 2010?PEN American Center welcomes the release on
bail of Tamil journalist Jayaprakash Sittampalam (J. S.) Tissainayagam from
Welikada Prison in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on January 11, 2010. Tissainayagam,
who has been one of PEN American Center?s priority cases, is free pending
his appeal of a 20-year prison sentence that PEN considered a violation of
his right to freedom of expression. The Appeals Court has ordered him to pay
50,000 Rupees (approx US $500), and to surrender his passport. The appeals
process could take up to two years unless expedited by the Attorney General.


A journalist for the *Sunday Times* newspaper and editor of the news web
site Outreach Sri Lanka, J. S. Tissainayagam was arrested on March 7, 2008,
by the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) in Colombo. More than a year
later, on August 31, 2009, a High Court in Sri Lanka sentenced him to 20
years? imprisonment with hard labor under the Prevention of Terrorism Act
for ?causing communal disharmony? in his articles published in 2006 by the
magazine *North-Eastern Monthly*. He was also found guilty of raising funds
to publish the magazine. His conviction was based on a confession that was
allegedly obtained through torture in police custody.

There is too the large poet?s feeling for the color, the movement, the
mystery, the life of the world about us: for the wide glow of blue heaven,
for the rain streaming down on the mountain trees, for the wind-storm riding
in from ocean, for the lion couched on the mountain side, the diverbird
skimming the waves with its wings, and

?The songless shoals of spawning fish?

that are

?nourished in deep waters?

and led, it may be, by Aphrodite.

Ellery Leonard, Ph.D. Chicago, The Open Court Publishing Company, 1908.

Complaint filed in 1975 killing of Salvadoran poet
(AP) ? 1 day ago

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador ? Relatives of poet and novelist Roque Dalton petitioned prosecutors Friday to file homicide charges against two ex-rebel commanders who they claim participated in the decision to kill the leftist writer in 1975.

The complaint names former Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front rebel leader Joaquin Villalobos as well as Jorge Melendez, who serves in the current Salvadoran government as head of the civil defense office.

Prosecutors will decide whether charges are warranted in the case. El Salvador's 1980-1992 civil war caused more than 75,000 deaths.

It is very surprising and depressing to see that after the mail I sent to
this mailing list and to another one with a political note in it, my gmail
account was suspended, and my blog disappeared. I was able to get both back
quite quickly by answering some online questions, what is depressing is that
I received a batch of messages with in the subject line a depressing
"typical" (of spam messages) line, and what is even more depressing - and I
noticed it now, is that my account sent out about 20 messages with the same
subject line and in the body of the mail something with "pen" in it, and a
link I did not dare to open. All "my" messages were sent to variations of
"angel_(...)"

I would really like to know whom I must thank.

On Poetry
Robert Hass?s Empathy and Desire
By DAVID ORR
Published: May 6, 2010

And indeed, the best work here is terrific. Hass is frequently referred to as a ?West Coast poet,? which makes sense to the extent that his work involves Californian flora, fauna and locales, but is more problematic as an indication of temperament (believe it or not, New York also contains mellow poets fixated on organic chard). His writing is densely literary and cultured in a laid-back, faculty lounge sort of way; one isn?t surprised to find a poem beginning ?On the morning of the K?the Kollwitz exhibit,? or to discover a five-page sequence about grad school romance (?Like Landor?s line ? / she was meandering gold, pellucid gold?). Most poems here involve long, loping free verse lines and occasional haiku-like fragments. In Hass?s hands, both approaches resist closure and convey a slightly earnest sensuality that often involves plain old physical desire (there are a lot of women here, and they?re regularly being ?made love to?) but also emerges in lovely, exacting natural descriptions: ?In the pools / anemones, cream-colored, little womb-mouths.?

Weapons drawn, 'codgers' quartered: race to be Oxford poetry professor gets serious
Eleven candidates argue their suitability for August academic role ahead of start of voting this week

--
Competitor Roger Lewis, biographer of Anthony Burgess and Peter Sellers, is not a poet but a critic "who is attuned to poetry wherever it might be found, whether in opera libretti and biblical translations, in follies and grottoes, or in poetic personalities", according to his candidate statement. Lewis promised in the Times to "lead a rebellion against sour academics" if he were to be elected. "When I heard that the dons were sewing it up to elect either 77-year-old Geoffrey Hill or 75-year-old Michael Horovitz to the chair of poetry at Oxford, my heart sank," he said. "I'm sure they are nice old codgers, but I'm afraid I find their work serious-minded to the point of pain and obscure of purpose."

The abstract says nothing about what she does as a poet, just what 
topics she has treated.  Is the full article any better?  Armantrout is 
a so-so language poet, so a lot better than the usual awardees.  One 
more example of language poetry's becoming mainstream: i.e., discussed 
even in the New Yorker.

Hello Barry!

The article is disrespectful toward the Language Poets, towards Rae
Armantrout and towards poetry. I agree with the coinage of "post
confessional" although I do not know why the author mentions "confessional."
I am quite touchy on this spot since I was recently at a conference where
the speaker, an American poet/writer, explained, without any far distant hue
of doubt, that contemporary American poetry _is_ Confessional.
It seems though, even if it is not too clear, that the Dan Chiasson, wants
to save Rae Armantrout with the very last line; his "gallant" gesture does
not come out too clear and to a distract reader it will escape.
I am quite surprised that The New Yorker accepted this review, maybe because
Mr. Chiasson is successful? Is he?

Best wishes, Anny

Subject: [New-Poetry] Poet as Civil Servant
Message-ID: <4BF483BF.3020307@opus40.org>

Groomed by the American system for some job like the one he holds?high 
school at Roxbury Latin, undergrad at Yale (and president of Yale?s 
prestigious Political Union in his last year there), law school at 
Harvard?he belongs to a type of quiet and careful civil servant that 
Caesar Augustus would have recognized. As would Phillip II and Napoleon 
and Gladstone, for that matter. Powerful governments have always needed 
this kind of man: the senior administrator, the superior public official 
who (to reverse the entropy the Irish senator W.B. Yeats feared) makes 
the center hold and keeps things from falling apart.

Across the city, in the only slightly less hot Washington evening, in an 
apartment overlooking Georgetown, sits Astrue?s opposite, a man named 
A.M. Juster: formalist poet, comic versifier, and classical translator. 
Eight years ago, Juster won the Richard Wilbur Award for his collection 
/The Secret Language of Women/ (2002), besides publishing book-length 
translations of Petrarch (the 2002 /Longing for Laura/) and Horace (the 
2008 /Satires/).

His poetry can be astonishingly gentle, as in his moving sonnet ?Cancer 
Prayer.? /Dear Lord/, the sonnet begins:

    /Please flood her nerves with sedatives
    and keep her strong enough to crack a smile
    so disbelieving friends and relatives
    can temporarily sustain denial.
    Please smite that intern in oncology
    who craves approval from department heads.
    Please ease her urge to vomit, let there be
    kind but flirtatious men in nearby beds.
    Given her hair, consider amnesty
    for sins of vanity; make mirrors vanish.
    Surround her with forgiving family
    and nurses not too numb to cry. Please banish
    trite consolations; take her in one swift
    and gentle motion as your final gift.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 20, 2010
Poetry Foundation Launches Free POETRY iPhone App
New app turns iPhone into mobile library with hundreds of searchable and sharable poems 
CHICAGO ? The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry magazine, is pleased to announce the release of its new POETRY iPhone app (poetryfoundation.org/iphone), making available for the first time on a mobile device a virtual poetry library of more than 1,400 complete poems by classic and contemporary poets from William Shakespeare to C?sar Vallejo to Heather McHugh.
The unique POETRY app offers hundreds of well-known poems by contemporary and classic poets, including T.S. Eliot, Pablo Neruda, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, and many, many others; easy access to new poems from the pages of Poetry magazine; a topic-based searchable database of poems to suit any mood or occasion; a folder for saving favorite poems; the capacity to share poems with friends through Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail; and an engaging, user-friendly interface specifically designed for the iPhone.
?The POETRY app, unlike other poetry applications, draws from the best contemporary poems published in Poetry magazine, while also including much-loved poems from the public domain,? said Catherine Halley, editor of poetryfoundation.org. ?Given the popularity of the iPhone and the successful launch of the iPad, we think this is an exciting, fun, and practical way to get more people reading poetry. With the POETRY app, great poetry is always accessible?during commutes, for instance, or between appointments.?
POETRY app users can find poems two ways, through the gamelike ?Discover Poetry? interface, which allows users to find poems by chance, or through the ?Find Poetry? interface, which enables people to search for poetry by keyword, subject, title, or poet.
Adventurous readers might choose the ?Discover Poetry? option. Upon shaking the iPhone or pressing the Spin button, the phone becomes a slot machine, spinning through pairs of emotions and subjects such as ?insecurity and love? or ?nostalgia and youth,? and eventually settling on a list of poems characterized by one of these combinations. Users then try their luck, sliding through emotions or subjects and exploring poems related to various combinations.
The POETRY app is available free in the Apple iTunes Store. For more information or to download the app, visit poetryfoundation.org/iphone.

Subject: [New-Poetry] Got Gulf Oil? Urgent Call : Poets for Living Waters
Message-ID: <6379.30974.qm@web83306.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

Poets for Living Waters is a poetry action in response to the Gulf Oil Disaster of April 20, 2010, one of the most profound man-made ecological catastrophes in history. Former US poet laureate Robert Pinsky describes the popularity of poetry after 9/11 as a turn away from the disaster?s overwhelming enormity to a more manageable individual scale. As we confront the magnitude of this recent tragedy, such a return may well aid us.The first law of ecology states that everything is connected to everything else.  An appreciation of this systemic connectivity suggests a wide range of poetry will offer a meaningful response to the current crisis, including work that harkens back to Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing regional effects. This online periodical is the first in a planned series of actions.  Further actions will include a print anthology and a public reading in Washington DC. If you would like to submit work for consideration, please send 1-3 poems,
 a short bio, and credits for any previously published submissions to:   poetsforlivingwaters at yahoo.com Editors: Amy King & Heidi Lynn Staples ~~ If you care, share -- Urgent Call -- http://poetsforlivingwaters.com/

>From the start of their relationship, he had set himself up as "imperfect," but that did not prevent him from telling Kerouac what he thought Kerouac needed to know about his own writing. In 1952, after agreeing to work as Kerouac's literary agent and to sell On The Road, he explained why he couldn't sell it. "I don't see how it will ever be published, it's so personal, it's so full of sex language, and so full of our local mythological references," he wrote. (p.176) 

Kerouac was hurt. "You who I thought was my friend --- you sit there and look me in the eye and tell me the On the Road I wrote at Neal's is imperfect," he asked rhetorically. "My heart beats every time I look at On the Road." He turned Ginsberg's denunciation of the book into his own rallying cry: "I see it now, why it is great and why you hate it," he said. (pp.178, 179) He never fully recovered emotionally from Ginsberg's hurtful letter. 

Meanwhile, Ginsberg began to develop a sense of self-confidence.

I read the Ashbery blurb in the Almanac and when I hit this spot I stumbled.  Picasso was not an abstract expressionist.  And true abstract expressionism certainly does baffle the audience.  (The audience that he's talking about here, Joe and Jane Doe.)  Maybe the idea he's expressing is true in his own life, he's got the two major points 
wrong.

Then again, poor Ashbery usually muddles it up.

He has been lauded as a people's poet, immortalized through the popularity of his verse, and now the man rumoured to have slept on top of bank vaults with a loaded gun will have homage paid to him with a frosty brew of his own.

Robert Service, called the Bard of the Yukon for his poetic yarns such as the Cremation of Sam McGee and the Shooting of Dan McGrew, will now live on with every pint of Service 1904 pulled at a trio of Victoria pubs.

The beer, brewed by Victoria's Phillips Brewing, was tapped for the first time this week at the Bard and Banker pub, an establishment named in honour of both Service and the historic Victoria building that houses it

To commemorate the event, Dr. Ward presented her with a watercolor painting of a sacred Cherokee location and a very special ?soul tree? created by Houck Medford, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation.

He stated ?this adds a whole other dimension to the Parkway experience. The Parkway is so visual but its rhythms can easily be conveyed in poetic language. We look forward to hearing and ?seeing? this new imagery as it becomes part of our Parkway visitors? journeys.?

Some years ago now, some guys writing a book about the New Jersey
Turnpike found that no one (repeat, no one) working at the Walt Whitman
Rest Area had any idea who Walt Whitman was. Talk about making it.
If they ever came upon some of his writings, they'd probably wonder why
he was named after a rest area on the NJ Turnpike.

Hal,

We live here in a flood plain, with multiple pumping stations named 
after the locally famous. If you don't make the cut on the interstate, 
you might try for one of our pumps.

Two of poet Frederick Smock's works set to music
Smock's verse connects with composer

next time you're in an airplane trapped alongside someone who simply won't stop chatting, consider adopting Frederick Smock's secret to regaining silence.

"When they ask me what I do for a living, I tell them I'm a poet," Smock said. "That shuts them right down."

Heck, I'm going to make Hal PL of the local irrigation ditch in Mesa, and he
can be PL of the Calle del Aguila tope.

From anny.ballardini  Mon May 24 00:51:21 2010
From: anny.ballardini (Anny Ballardini)
Date: Mon May 24 00:51:21 2010
Subject: [New-Poetry] forwarded by Jennifer Bartlett
Message-ID: <AANLkTinh48DEP0doxIBZJCnUAkTnXhdm46cLHg0Dq-MQ@mail.gmail.com>

Sheila Black and Jennifer Bartlett are putting together an anthology of
poets with physical disabilities.

We are ideally looking for poets with physical disabilities, although we are
not excluding submissions from abled-poets writing about a poet with a
physical disability. The format will be 3-5 poems and a short open-ended
essay  (750- 1000 words). The essay should address how disability manifests
itself (or doesn't) in your work. The essay can also discuss identity or
anti-identity poetics.

Please send 7-10 poems, a short publishing biography (include your book
titles) and an one paragraph description of an essay you would like to write
to rejennifer at gmail.com AND sheilablack at hotmail.com.

Deadline July 1st. Also, email with any questions.

Please see the request and description below:

Yet our  goal is not to produce a book that is strictly polemical but rather
one that looks at poetry first.  The spectrum of poets writing on the topic,
especially today, articulate disability in specific and surprising ways.  While
the poets who make up this proposed anthology are poets whose aesthetic lens
has been torqued or shaped by their bodies, the group is eclectic as fits
the topic?for not only is each disability unique, but even within a single
person the *experience *of disability is a dynamic one.  Some poets we plan
to include, while forethinkers in the poetry world, are not known as
?disability poets.? Rather, they came to have bodily differences later in
life. Some are activists and heavily entrenched in Disability Studies.
Others, while not activists, write about their singular experience, in ways
that are formally and philosophically challenging. In addition, the poets
included represent many different modes and movements in modern poetry.   Part
of what is so energizing about considering the current landscape of  disability
poetry is the degree to which thinking about disability enlists or engages
viscerally many of the core concerns  animating other poetry movements from
the New Formalists to the New Sincerity to the Gurlesque.  The mediations on
the body and commodification, and on the very nature and being of beauty,
that drive many of the poets in this collection are concerns that are not
only universal, but also acutely urgent in our times.

Abstract expression doesn't baffle me. Baffling

I read the Ashbery blurb in the Almanac and when I hit this spot I stumbled.  Picasso was not an abstract expressionist.  And true abstract expressionism certainly does baffle the audience.  (The audience that he's talking about here, Joe and Jane Doe.)  Maybe the idea he's expressing is true in his own life, he's got the two major points wrong.

Then again, poor Ashbery usually muddles it up.

The Writer's Almanac this morning contains the following quote from John Ashbery:

"When I was fresh out of college, abstract expressionism was the most exciting thing in the arts [...] poetry seemed quite conventional in comparison. I guess it still is, in a way. One can accept a Picasso woman with two noses, but an equivalent attempt in poetry baffles the audience."

Oops...wasn't finished. Wanted to say:
It's difficult to compare a language art with a visual art. The semantic aspect of language is harder to abstract from than the medium of paint (color, texture, etc.) or music (notes, rhythm, etc.) for that matter. It's apples and oranges...a category error/mistake.

Yeah, like saying Hegel hurts my eyes.  On the other hand, it would 
baffle those who can't figure out what is being depicted, believing 
visual art should depict.  But then they are making a category error, yes?

I think we agree...

Visual art can depict, it can be representational, but it's not a necessary conditon. And even if it is representational, as Surrealist art is, it can still baffle (and probably should). Islamic art, another example, eschews direct representation yet may be quite defined and patterned, as in the arabesque design.

Subject: [New-Poetry] Update -- Poets for Living Waters: Poems and
	Statements by Evie Shockley and Franz Wright
Message-ID: <330599.4746.qm@web83301.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>



Today, please read work by Evie Shockley and Franz Wright at http://poetsforlivingwaters.com

(Or -- http://poetsgulfcoast.wordpress.com )

~~~~~~

Poets for Living Waters is a poetry action in response to the Gulf Oil Disaster of April 20, 2010, one of the most profound man-made ecological catastrophes in history.

The first law of ecology states that everything is connected to everything else. An appreciation of this systemic connectivity suggests a wide range of poetry will offer a meaningful response to the current crisis, including work that harkens back to Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing regional effects.

Please submit 1-3 poems, a short bio, and credits for any previously published submissions to:  poetsforlivingwaters at yahoo.com

Thank you,

Amy King and Heidi Lynn Staples

Subject: [New-Poetry] Seeking Poets for Reading -- Need Organizers
Message-ID: <669485.16434.qm@web83303.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>



World Ocean Day is coming up on June 8th. Heidi Lynn Staples
and I are putting out feelers for poets who might be willing to
organize a last-minute reading on their shores as part of a Poets for
Living Waters Action. We're asking poets to serve as Poets for
Living Waters Activists--organizing and publicizing the reading in their
community. If you could also document via photos, video or audio - any or
all, that would be especially welcome.
 
Ideally the event would take place by a body of
water--stream, river, pond, lake, or sea. The poems read by the featured poets
would be either from the Poets for Living Waters site ( http://poetsgulfcoast.wordpress.com ), well known published relevant works (say E.
Bishop or something), or relevant works by professional published writers. The PLW
Activist (you) would be welcome to read.  An open mike opportunity would conclude the event.
 
If interested, please backchannel at
poetsforlivingwaters at yahoo.com
 
Best,
Amy 

p.s.  Today's poems are by FRANZ WRIGHT, EVIE SHOCKLEY, KATE SCHAPIRA and BILL MARSH

Message-ID: <8CCCB209A69E6BF-18AC-1AD3@webmail-m094.sysops.aol.com>


http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/may/26/picador-poetry-prize
Picador is launching a new poetry prize that hopes to find the best previously unpublished poets in the UK, to be judged by the award-winning poet Don Paterson.

The idea for the Picador poetry prize came out of a conversation between Paterson and the Forward prize-winning poet John Stammers. "We were talking about why there wasn't any equivalent in the UK to the Yale Series of Younger Poets which has been running in the US for about 90 years,"

Subject: [New-Poetry] Sheila Black and Jennifer Bartlett are putting
	together an anthology of poets with physical disabilities.
Message-ID: <182459.91443.qm@web83308.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>



----- Forwarded Message ----
From: reJennifer Bartlett 



Sheila Black and Jennifer Bartlett are putting together an anthology of poets with physical disabilities. 

We are ideally looking for poets with physical disabilities, although we are not excluding submissions from abled-poets writing about a poet with a physical disability. The format will be 3-5 poems and a short open-ended essay  (750- 1000 words). The essay should address how disability manifests itself (or doesn't) in your work. The essay can also discuss identity or anti-identity poetics. 

Please send 7-10 poems, a short publishing biography (include your book titles) and an one paragraph description of an essay you would like to write to rejennifer at gmail.com AND sheilablack at hotmail.com.

Deadline July 1st. Also, email with any questions.

Please see the request and description below:

Yet our  goal is not to produce a book that is strictly polemical but rather one that looks at poetry first.  The spectrum of poets writing on the topic, especially today, articulate disability in specific and surprising ways. While the poets who make up this proposed anthology are poets whose aesthetic lens has been torqued or shaped by their bodies, the group is eclectic as fits the topic?for not only is each disability unique, but even within a single person the experience of disability is a dynamic one. Some poets we plan to include, while forethinkers in the poetry world, are not known as ?disability poets.? Rather, they came to have bodily differences later in life. Some are activists and heavily entrenched in Disability Studies. Others, while not activists, write about their singular experience, in ways that are formally and philosophically challenging. In addition, the poets included represent many different modes and movements in modern
 poetry.   Part of what is so energizing about considering the current landscape of  disability poetry is the degree to which thinking about disability enlists or engages viscerally many of the core concerns  animating other poetry movements from the New Formalists to the New Sincerity to the Gurlesque.  The mediations on the body and commodification, and on the very nature and being of beauty, that drive many of the poets in this collection are concerns that are not only universal, but also acutely urgent in our times.

How about this for a contrast? Williams' sentiment


WCW: "It is difficult/ to get the news from poems/ yet men die miserably every day/ for lack/ of what is found there."

vs. this quote I clipped off Twitter today...

The poem is a little myth of man's capacity of making life meaningful.
Robert Penn Warren

I'm thinking that Williams' notion about poetry, however overreaching, tells one a lot about what kind of poet he his and the kind of stakes he's playing for. 

You gotta believe.

leaves twinkle in the deep dark and vibrant green patched in sun and shade?

I don't think Williams's statement is even slightly overreaching.  
People are overdosiing (on actual drugs or the equivalent, like some 
kind of lunatic faith such as the 9/11ers') daily precisely because they 
lack the ability to get what they need from poetry (or other arts).  But 
my interpretation of "news" is probably different from Williams's--for 
me it's beauty.  Lack of beauty will kill us.

"BRONX, N.Y. -- As the sun strengthens in spring, gardeners spray the glass
conservatory at the New York Botanical Garden with a milky, white wash to
protect the floral jewels within. For another few weeks, this monumental
alabaster urn holds something particularly vital but fragile: the garden --
and the story -- of Emily Dickinson.

In long, glazed galleries, Fran Coelho and her colleagues have planted fruit
trees, day lilies and hundreds of other plants tricked into flowering at
once in a fanciful re-creation of Emily's contained world in the village of
Amherst, Mass."

Message-ID: <8CCCCA1C271996E-1F9C-AC31@Webmail-m119.sysops.aol.com>


I saw a local premiere of this film last night...
John Marin: Let the Paint Be Paint!
An Essay in Film by Michael Maglaras
http://www.two17films.com/AboutLTPBP.htm

It's worth seeing if you get a chance. Deals with Marin's development as a painter. His relationship with Alfred Stieglitz and his circle of artists. His life in New York City/Cliffside NJ and places he lived and painted in Maine, settling eventually in Cape Split. 

Michael Maglaras and his wife Terri Templeton made the fim. The film is called an 'essay' and in many ways it a personal essay by writer/director/narrator Michael Maglaras. Maglaras says a lot of good things in course of the film, but he talks too much, I think. He does use a large number of Walt Whitman quotes as intros to the various segments of the film. Though Maglaras neglects to say if Marin knew Whitman's work intimately. It may be just a connection that Maglaras invents.

I think Maglaras should have introduced more comments from other artists and critics, living or dead. Maglaras has a great sonorous radio voice, but everything comes out a bit like 'speaking from on high'. He has trouble doing casual remarks. Small quibble though. It's a good show. Lots of Marin paintings on view. Much of the background music is Stravinsky. Also some good documentary photos and footage of Marin too. 

Maglaras also did a couple of films about Marsden Hartley...
http://www.two17films.com/About217FilmsVS.htm

n.b.: Several years ago, at New Britain Museum of American Art where the film was shown, Michael Maglaras performed (a dramatic recitation of) John Greenleaf Whittier's poem "Snowbound."

Greetings,
 
I didn't know it was going to be posted today until just now! 
 
But there is an interview with me about my poetry book, Woman on a Shaky Bridge at  Women's Voices for Change (by Huffington writer Laura Sillerman)
 
SO thrilled!

I saw a local premiere of this film last night...
John Marin: Let the Paint Be Paint!
An Essay in Film by Michael Maglaras
http://www.two17films.com/AboutLTPBP.htm
 
It's worth seeing if you get a chance. Deals with Marin's development as a painter. His relationship with Alfred Stieglitz and his circle of artists. His life in New York City/Cliffside NJ and places he lived and painted in Maine, settling eventually in Cape Split. 
 
Michael Maglaras and his wife Terri Templeton made the fim. The film is called an 'essay' and in many ways it a personal essay by writer/director/narrator Michael Maglaras. Maglaras says a lot of good things in course of the film, but he talks too much, I think. He does use a large number of Walt Whitman quotes as intros to the various segments of the film. Though Maglaras neglects to say if Marin knew Whitman's work intimately. It may be just a connection that Maglaras invents.

I think Maglaras should have introduced more comments from other artists and critics, living or dead. Maglaras has a great sonorous radio voice, but everything comes out a bit like 'speaking from on high'. He has trouble doing casual remarks. Small quibble though. It's a good show. Lots of Marin paintings on view. Much of the background music is Stravinsky. Also some good documentary photos and footage of Marin too. 
 
Maglaras also did a couple of films about Marsden Hartley...
http://www.two17films.com/About217FilmsVS.htm

n.b.: Several years ago, at New Britain Museum of American Art where the film was shown, Michael Maglaras performed (a dramatic recitation of) John Greenleaf Whittier's poem "Snowbound."

Although it occurs to me that sexual tansion aside, being on a shaky 
bridge is in general an excellent preparation for a relationship with a 
woman.

Nice interview, Mill. That is a good cover image. Your husband's work makes me think of Philip Pearlstein's paintings, and Lucien Freud though not as lurid.

A work of art is full of perhapses and maybe sos. Where the perhapses are found something has to be done about it. And since art deals with the perhapses and maybe sos...and why not call it the consummate science?, which gets its perfection from seemingly imperfection.

Message-ID: <F9337EC2-865C-4C48-B7FC-6E3E263F80C0@ripon.edu>

I was very sorry to learn yesterday about the death of Donald Sheehan, founding director of The Frost Place in Franconia NH.  For over a quarter of a century Don ran the programs at The Frost Place, including the Frost Festival, the Frost Museum, and the Poet in Residence program.    Not a poet himself, Don was a legendary teacher and scholar of English, Russian, and classical literature.  He was immensely knowledgeable about and supportive of the art of poetry.  

Even more importantly, he set the tone of the Frost Place and its programs:  non-hierarchical, community-minded, informal but serious and rejuvenating.  At the Frost Festival each summer Don usually made a short speech in the beginning asking everyone to agree NOT to make any life-altering decisions for at least six months after the week in Franconia ended.  He emphasized that the Festival was a special place and time, and was not "real life."  I gather that he felt obliged to make such a disclaimer because so many participants went right home afterward and quit their jobs, initiated divorces, and so forth.  

There was virtually no Po-Biz at The Frost, and any celebrity poets who put on airs or otherwise did not enter into the spirit of the place were not asked back.  Everyone who ever went there came away realizing that Don was as responsible for its special quality as anyone.  As Donald Hall put it, The Frost Place has always been dedicated not to poets but to poetry.  Don Sheehan was a quiet, deeply religious and humble man, so it's hard to describe what a magnetic personality he had.  As Sydney Lea remarks, "when Don entered the room, the atmosphere calmed and people began to behave better."  

I first attended the Frost Festival as a student in 1980, and returned a number of times over the years as a faculty member on various programs, or just to visit the place and friends who were there.  One of the highlights of my life was being asked, in 1996, to live in Robert Frost's farmhouse for the summer as a Resident Poet.  I got to walk Frost's woods, sit in his writing chair, enjoy the amazing White Mountains scenery, and soak up the atmosphere where he wrote some of his best early lyrics.  But by far the best part of the summer was coming to know Don and observing at first hand how he directed the place and its programs.  My teaching and my poetry were forever changed as a consequence.   

I have always loved what Don would say every summer when introducing the workshop at the Festival, which I'll take the liberty of quoting below; it seems to me to have a lot to do not only with the art of poetry, but with teaching and living one's life in a healthy way.  I am sorry that I can't discover where I found the text of his remarks originally--

"The heart of the conference is the workshop. Thus, you will need to work from the heart. There is a natural urge to hide: a swarm of anxieties, both our own and others' that we pick up on. Above all, there is an overwhelming 'need'--a false hunger--to be praised, coupled with a hair-trigger impulse to envy anyone else whose work seems immediately praiseworthy. Thus you are likely to find yourself whipsawed between the hunger to be admired and the impulse to envy those who are admirable. 

You will need to recognize and acknowledge all of this--in order to reach the key that unlocks all truth: taking very great and very deliberate care with each other. 

This taking-care, which is a form of love, increases the quality of the intelligence. If you must make a flash choice between sympathy and intelligence, choose sympathy. Usually these fall apart--sympathy becoming a mindless 'being nice' to everyone, while intelligence becomes an exercise in contempt. But here's the great fact of this Festival, for twenty-seven years now: as you come deliberately to care about another person's art (and not your own), then your own art mysteriously gets better. 

Thus, your work at this conference is to make the art of at least one other person better and stronger by giving--in love--all your art to them." 

--Donald Sheehan [source lost]

The way Thursday evening worked is like this: The first hour involved cocktails at the Housing Works Bookstore and Caf? in SoHo. Then there were readings by Colson Whitehead ("Sag Harbor"), Emily St. John Mandel ("The Singers Gun") and poet Amy King, who runs a popular poetry group on Goodreads. Then it was off to the actual pub crawl: Botanica on Houston; Tom & Jerry's on Elizabeth, with the crew ending up eventually at KGB on East Fourth.

Howdy, NewPoet folks,

A question:  what is your favorite online literary journal?  Particularly,
I'm looking for journals that publish really fine prose (either creative or
analytic).

Thanks,
Jeff Newberry

I'm partial to Valparaiso Poetry Review, but I have to admit online journals aren't my area of expertise.
