Unmon said, "Shitstick!" (Kan-shiketsu!). Mumonkan (koan #21) Hepursefok? The maps & menus you find here are old & new. They range out from mountain haiku, mined ancient notebook nuggets, & hardy marginalia to the purely neological, (noun-noun) (meta-meta) & methane breakdown state, to mantric noodlings, cutups, therapy quips & a pseudonym or two all the way over & back to back with weird gesamtkunstwerdz, elusive flutes & a few bent koan- you name it. The work is only as reliable as your smallest curiousity and/or grandiose multilingual appetite will allow. Joyce, it's not. The authority is slippery, the play is un/structured, the vectors are non/narrative & the thickets, detours wrong fishtails & pratfalls (mostly in-tended) turns are many but rarely in complete fognito. Hopefully, it builds to a matrix. When dancing on one's own deck & steps, rubbers are advised. Remember, some net-knots are just too nuts to crack & probably too personally elephantine to penetrate. Better to take a swift & hefty chef's knife or Tiresian SWAT team to that material. Guessing & shredding ANSWERS to especially frivolous puzzlers is patent pending permitted if not openly encouraged. Readers to their marks . BONE apetito! John Marron, Berkeley Hills /24th & Mission, Tam to Tassajara, I nov 86 Reading Copy Only: facsimile available at http://english.utah.edu/eclipse OIYEAU REVOIR An intense interest in the language of every day viewed at a microscopic level. In poet/performance artist and native Iowan John Marron's Oiyeau, consciousness in language heads out from the Bible Belt in the direction of the Van Allen Belt. He incorporates elements of Japanese, Russian, French, adspeak, Buddhism, infantilism, what have you. He sees letters, hears syllables, ponders funny echoes. Each poem is a single gesture. The miniature synthetic constructs, neologisms and metonyms address radical metaphysical changes going on around the country in people's heads, that the sequence of letters in a word suffice for poetic resonance, as sound, letter, phoneme, and cultural iconography come into play, with the operative word being play. The book builds from minute to slightly larger linguistic units: a couple of letters to a few words, then back down to one word, the title, containing all the vowels, and looking like the French for bird, but with a long tail. Quick, sharp, funny, political hits are here on each page. The alphabetical relations lead to sensual pleasure for the ear and eye. I especially enjoy "Indigo dugout". The political comments can be flat and ironic ("black fireman/found eggs//broken in/boots// twice") or emotional espresso ("factory//war/paint//on/morning //cloud") or post-snide ("mcthoughtr"). It's hard to put your finger on why these little works are so appealing, but they are. Inside such grains of sand (read language) you can see the whole world (read constant change). —Kit Robinson October 16, 1986 Reading Copy Only: facsimile available at http://english.utah.edu/eclipse o s u l p e c h x s n A r l p h r a g m x y l 0 v 0 x g n u y a k c d a k a j o m a z a m c t h o u g h t r p r o e t l a r i a t p o d b o g d o g b o p j o g m a l c h u c k u p q u i e r o b s k ew r h o m o s e c o m p o s e m u n o d e k n o t c o d e g l o t f e u i l l e - f e u i l l e t o d e s p a r r o v i n d e r s k y a RAW d e o ACT i v i DEO z e d Y k o d a m a m u j i b o e n z o i c h i b o i o i o i o i o i n g n g n g n g n g a l f a l f a l f a l f a l f a l f a l f a anonymomnemopenumbryoem t h a l a s s a l a l i a l a b i a p h i l i a / s k i p p i n g s t o n e s n e v e r s i n k i n g p r e s e n t s e r p e n t d o t d o t d o t / r e a l l e a f f e a r i t e m m i t e e m i t t i m e / c e d a r y o n d e r m y o c a r a n y o n e c r a a l j a b r o g d o a d d y s f x n p i j a c k d a n i e l s & w a n g w e g r e e n a n t y e l l o w e g r e f a l l e n l o g ma k i n g i n T h i s.

ASSEMBLING EVIDENCE OF THE ALTERNATIVE: Roots And Routes POETICS AT NEW COLLEGE OF CALIFORNIA Anthology editor Patrick James Dunagan presenting material co-written with fellow anthology editors Marina Lazzara and Nicholas James Whittington. abstract The Poetics program at New College of California (ca. 1980-2000s) was a distinctly alien presence among graduate-level academic programs in North America. Focused solely upon the study of poetry, it offered a truly alternative approach to that found in more traditional academic settings. Throughout the program's history few of its faculty possessed much beyond an M.A.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • York University Graduate Program in English Post-1900 US Literature Comprehensive Reading List Prose
    York University Graduate Program in English Post-1900 US Literature Comprehensive Reading List [Updated MarCh 2007] Candidates should submit a reading list composed of the following texts. Where indicated, students may substitute another appropriate text by the same author. Additionally, up to 10% of each section of this list may be replaced with alternatives decided upon by the candidate in consultation with the examination supervisor. Note well: In addition to mastering the list provided below, candidates in twentieth-century American literature are expected to develop a familiarity with a range of major American literary texts from before the 20th century. Ideally, candidates planning to specialize as Americanists will sit the pre-1900 American Literature exam and the twentieth-century American Literature exam. Candidates who opt not to take the earlier American exam should refer to that exam’s reading list in consultation with their supervisor to determine which American authors/texts from before 1900 are unavoidable prerequisites for this field exam. Likely possibilities include: Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, etc. Candidates will not be examined on these materials as part of this field, but exam questions may take for granted knowledge of such fundamental texts. If this will be a second field exam, students are required to submit a copy of their first field examination reading list along with the final copy of the 20th century American list. Prose Candidates should read texts by approximately 10-15 authors from each time period below, selected in consultation with their supervisors. A total of approximately 45-55 prose texts by as many authors is appropriate.
