In addition to dated entries, the journals may also include notes; drafts of poems, essays, translations or correspondence; quotes; and descriptions of his travels. J) The Notebooks subseries is comprised of Schelling's pocket notebooks from 1983-2001. Smaller in size and scope than the journals, they generally lack dated entries.

Focusing on the institutions and practices that mediate this exchange, I show how American and French poets take up, challenge or respond to shifts in the poetic field tied to new cross-cultural networks of circulation. In so doing, I also demonstrate how poets imagine and realize a diverse set of competing publics. This work is divided into three chapters. After analyzing in my introduction the web of poets and institutions that have enabled and sustained this exchange, I show in my first chapter how collaborations between writers and translators have greatly impacted recent poetry in a case study of two American works: Andrew Zawack’s Georgia (2009) and Bill Luoma’s My Trip to New York City (1994).

Writers such as Diane di Prima, Hettie Jones, Joanne Kyger, Joyce Johnson, Bonnie Bremser, and Janine Pommy Vega were part of the 1950s Beat literary culture and had social relationships with the more famous male Beat writers such as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. To differing degrees the women writers have also been influenced by the aesthetics of the male writers, and since the 1950s their work has been contextualised alongside the men's in literary magazines, anthologies and more recent academic studies.

  • Neo-Beat Amazigh Band
    NEO-BEAT AMAZIGH BAND NEO-BEAT AMAZIGH BAND is an Afro-Amazigh trance group of committed poets and musicians inspired by the local and international grassroots movement who believe in the miraculous powers of spoken and written word for a better change of the world. It is a band that brings together music and poetry in a beautiful combination that allows for both improvisation and accurate composition. The concentrate on performances of their translations of revolutionary Beat poetry, e.g. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Michael McClure, Diane Di Prima, Joanne Kyger, Amiri Baraka, Anne Waldman and other, in Amazigh and classical Arabic. The melodies and rhythms the band plays are inspired by the countryside folklore of Southern Morocco, mainly Ahwash, blended with Sufi, jazz and Gnaoua music. In a serious attempt to articulate Amazigh struggle, the band establishes its theoretical foundations on the native culture of the linguistically and racially undermined Moroccan social groups. As members of 100 Thusand Poets for Change movement the band voices its preoccupation with themes and issues ranging from social justice, equality, freedom of expression, political transparency to ecological sustainability, interfaith dialogue and peace, all blended with soulful music from North Africa underlying Bedouin and Amazigh identity, driven by polyrhythm and hypnotic grooves. Amazigh Neo-Beat Band features the poet and translator El Habib Louai, the percussionist Hassan Bendouz on djembi and tam tam and Mohamed Ennajihi. The band was created to revive and bring to the local and international cultural scene a socially and politically conscientious music that originates from the deep high Atlas Mountains and villages of the South of Morocco, a country where all races and languages mingle together in cohesion.

  • Two Women Poets: Helen Adam and Bubs Bridger
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 11 March 2012 Two Women Poets: Helen Adam and Bub Bridger Jan Pilditch It is a truism of feminist literary criticism, most especially of the nineteenth century, that women’s poetry took place in the private, and often domestic, sphere. In the occidental contexts of this essay, poetry was the province of men. In the twentieth century, however, western women poets emerged, such as Edith Sitwell or Anna Wickham, who rejected the idea of a private poetry in favour of performance and a public poetry. As a new intellectual climate grew in the aftermath of World War II, performance by women poets became more common, and in 1947 Madeline Gleason organised the Festival of Modern Poetry at Lucien Labaudt Gallery, Gough Street, San Francisco. This was one of the first public presentations of poetry as a performance-oriented art form. Performance continued to grow, especially through the “Happenings” associated with the emancipation of culture and art, but this did not entirely bring women’s poetry into the public sphere. Riemke Ensing, in her introduction to the 1977 Private Gardens: An Anthology of New Zealand Women Poets, comments on the disturbing similarities of experience of the poets represented in the anthology: “problems which had to do with the condition of being a woman—of being a wife and mother first, a poet second” (11). Performance continued to bring some women poets popularity and even acclamation during their lifetimes; but despite this, performance, though sometimes commented upon, is rarely considered as integral to the art of the women poets whose practice it was to perform.
