    Remembrances and Thank Yous by Alan Cotler, W'72

    Remembrances and Thank Yous By Alan Cotler, W’72, WG’74 When I told Mrs. Spitzer, my English teacher at Flushing High in Queens, I was going to Penn her eyes welled up and she said nothing. She just smiled. There were 1,100 kids in my graduating class. I was the only one going to an Ivy. And if I had not been recruited to play basketball I may have gone to Queens College. I was a student with academic friends and an athlete with jock friends. My idols were Bill Bradley and Mickey Mantle. My teams were the Yanks, the New York football Giants, the Rangers and the Knicks, and, 47 years later, they are still my teams. My older cousin Jill was the first in my immediate and extended family to go to college (Queens). I had received virtually no guidance about college and how life was about to change for me in Philadelphia. I was on my own. I wanted to get to campus a week before everyone. I wanted the best bed in 318 Magee in the Lower Quad. Steve Bilsky, one of Penn’s starting guards at the time who later was Penn’s AD for 25 years and who helped recruit me, had that room the year before, and said it was THE best room in the Quad --- a large room on the 3rd floor, looked out on the entire quad, you could see who was coming and going from every direction, and it had lots of light. It was the control tower of the Lower Quad.
  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen

    The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen

    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.

What were the politics and poetics, both of the archival containers, as well as the physical media? How can we (re)present these archives within PennSound with respect for their prior materilaities ? 1913: “Modernism meets the phonograph” Ezra Pound traveled to the speech lab of Jean Pierre Rousselot to be “recorded” using Rousselot’s phonoscope. Richard Sieburth: “The ardent vers libristes were presumably eager to find out whether Rousselot’s modern recording devices (which produced what look like intricate seismographs of vowels, consonants, pitch, and tempo) could provide scientific proof that free verse was, in its own way, just as ‘regular’ or ‘formal’ (in terms of the patternings of accents or quantities) as, say, the traditional alexandrine.” Images from Richard Sieburth’s “The Sound of Pound: A Listener’s Guide” 1913: “La parole au timbre juste” The linguist Ferdinand Brunot partners with Disque Pathé, the largest record label in France, to release recordings of Apollinaire and other poets.
  • Wreading & Aesthetic Judgment

    Wreading & Aesthetic Judgment

    From Attack of the Difficult Poems: Essays and Inventions (University of Chicago Press, 2011) http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/bernstein/books/attack/ Creative Wreading & Aesthetic Judgment I am professor of poetry. I take that term quite literally. I profess poetry in a society, and often a classroom, where poetry is at best a half-forgotten thing, something confined to the peripheries of cultural imagination, a once grand enterprise perhaps, but today eclipsed by more compelling media. Many readers – current students and long ago graduates alike, those who have never been to school and those who teach school – have no experience at all with poetry and certainly little contact with poetry as an active contemporary art form. Indeed, college is a crucial site for the introduction, the continuing re-introduction, to poetry in both its historical and contemporary particulars. A poem is a work of art using words (or related verbal materials). New poems often challenge prior definitions or understandings of poetry. Another way of saying this is that a poem is any verbal construction that is designated as a poem. The designation of a verbal text as poetry cues a way of reading but does not address the work’s quality. Disagreement over the nature of what poetry is, or what constitutes a poem, is as much a part of the history of poetry as disputes about what makes a good poem. The most contentious of these disputes are fundamental to poetry’s continuing social and aesthetic significance. Confronted with a poem, many seem to go silent or what they say tends to treat the poem as if it were not a poem at all but a statement of opinion, experience, or sentiment; or a cultural artifact of a time more benighted than our own that can perhaps give us a glimmer of the dim consciousness that guided those in days gone by.
