Reading Gail Sher.Indd
Reading Gail Sher Gail Reading Reading Gail Sher describes the development of Gail Sher’s poetry over a thirty-five year period: the early radical language experiments, the reimagining of ancient Asian literary and musical forms, the “wisdom mind” poems rooted in Tibetan Buddhism, and her late work, influenced by contemporary writers and her experience as a psychotherapist. The book includes detailed illustrations of the linguistic strategies she has used to help a reader “open to the inconceivable.” It concludes with a bibliography and two brief chronologies, one of her outer life and one of her inner, psychological relationship with language. Reading Gail Sher by Gail Sher “When I found Gail Sher’s books, I imagined her having stepped from a Japanese Noh play. Her poems, sharpened by rigorous Buddhist discipline…grabbed me instantly. Despite their wild turns of phrase… they showed a sensibility that was refined, educated, attentive to Gail Sher natural detail. They put me in mind of the writers of Japan’s Heian court, the best of whom were women. I still hear echoes of Murasaki Shikibu or Ono no Komachi when I open Gail’s books.” —ANDREW SCHELLIng Gail Sher lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area as a writer, teacher and psychotherapist.

Contributors James Arnold’S Work on Aimé Césaire Spans Four Decades
contributors James Arnold’s work on Aimé Césaire spans four decades. In 1981 he published a book on Césaire’s poetry at Harvard University Press. In the mid-1980s he established the CARAFBooks collection (CARibbean and AFrican Literature translated from French) at the University of Virginia Press. Arnold commissioned Clayton Eshleman and Annette Smith to translate Césaire’s Lyric and Dramatic Poetry, 1946-1982 for the CARAF series (1990). He was the editor-in- chief of Césaire’s complete literary works in French, completed in the poet’s centennial year (2013) for CNRS-Éditions. Since the 1980s Arnold has emerged as a major figure in comparative Caribbean literary studies. He was editor-in- chief of the three-volume History of Literature in the Caribbean, published under the sponsorship of the International Comparative Literature Association between 1994 and 2001. During the same period he founded, at the University Press of Virginia, the cross-cultural book series New World Studies. James Arnold is writing a new book in French on Aimé Césaire’s poetry and poetics that will draw on major discoveries made by his research team for their Paris edition as well as the refinements resulting from his collaboration with Clayton Eshleman. Eugénio de Andrade (1923-2005) was, after Fernando Pessoa, the best known Portuguese poet of the 20th century. He won all of Portugal’s literary awards, as well as the prestigious Prix Jean Malrieu from France. His work has appeared in well over twenty languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, Polish, Norwegian, Greek, Japanese and Chinese. In 1988 he made a reading tour of the United States with his translator, Alexis Levitin. -

Keith & Rosmarie Waldrop
Keith & Rosmarie Waldrop Burning Deck Press Burning Deck Press specializes in the publication of experimental poetry and prose, as well as two series of translation: Serie d’ecriture dedicated to contemporary French poetry and Dichten= dedicated to contemporary German writing. Burning Deck was founded by the writers and translators Keith Waldrop (born in Emporia, Kansas in 1932) and Rosmarie Waldrop (born in Kitzingen, Germany in 1935) in 1961. Although the Waldrops initially promoted Burning Deck Magazine as a “quinterly,” in Michigan, after four issues the periodical was transformed into a series of pamphlets set by hand and printed letterpress. The transformation continued until Burning Deck became a publisher of books of poetry and short fiction. The magazine published poets from different styles and schools. The main split in poets of that time was said to be the one between the “academics” and the “beats,” but Burning Deck ignored that split to the point where authors sometimes com- plained of being published in the company of others so different from themselves. By 1985, the economics of publishing had changed and it became financially more feasible to print books on offset presses and use the letterpress for smaller chapbooks. The Waldrops con- tinued to design and print books that are made to last (using smyth-sewn, acid-free paper) but tried to keep the price affordable. Burning Deck’s archives are housed at Brown University, where Keith taught for many years. Burning Deck has published hundreds of books, including titles by Paul Auster, Robert Coover, Robert Creeley, Jean Daive, Caroline Dubois, Barbara Guest, Lyn Hejinian, Monika Rinck, Cole Swenson, as well as several books of the Waldrops’ own poems. -
