Style and the Experiment: the Coherence of Experimental Writing STYLE AND THE EXPERIMENT: THE COHERENCE OF EXPERIMENTAL WRITING A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Diana Sue Hamilton February 2016 STYLE AND THE EXPERIMENT: THE COHERENCE OF EXPERIMENTAL WRITING Diana Sue Hamilton, Ph.D. Cornell University 2016 This dissertation tracks “style” as it is produced by literary experimentation: I consider the self- referential style of William Carlos Williams’ Kora in Hell, the mechanical, automated movement of style in William Burroughs’ two trilogies, the minimal “literariness” needed to make appropriation in U.S. Conceptual Writing function as poetry, and the role of the image in the styles of John Ashbery, Bernadette Mayer, and Raymond Queneau. Style functions as a machine, as a structure that ties syntax to plot, as both an effect of writing and a cause, and as the creation of a text’s apparent subjectivity. In these readings, I proceed from the many critical assumptions of style’s outdatedness—like Fredric Jameson’s insistence that the term does not apply to works produced after modernism, and to less period-restricted rejections of style’s implications of individuality—in order to redefine style in terms of its relationship to the experiment. I argue that style is what makes experimental writing legible as literature; it is the condition of differentiating writing, recognizable by the stylistic phenomena that, according to Gérard Genette’s semiotics of style, must somehow cohere into stylistic features. By examining works more often discussed in terms of their abilities to stave off style via disjunction, I find style where it should not be: in works made by citation or collage, by procedures that emphasize chance or otherwise undermine authorial intent, writers fail to rid themselves of this sense of authorial coherence. iii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Diana Hamilton was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, and she now lives and writes in New York, where she earned her B.A. in Comparative Literature from New York University in 2008. In 2010, she started graduate school in the doctoral program in Comparative Literature at Cornell University. In addition her academic work, she is the author of one full-length book of poetry, Okay, Okay (Truck Books 2012) and four chapbooks: Universe (Ugly Duckling Presse 2014), 23 Women to Kiss Before You Die (Make Now Books 2014), Some Shit Advice (The Physiocrats 2014), and Break-up (Troll Thread 2015). In 2015, she took on the position of Associate Director of the Writing Center at Baruch College, City University of New York. iv for Easy, who was a cat v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to the members of my committee—Jonathan Culler, Roger Gilbert, Tracy McNulty, and Neil Saccamano—who have guided my thinking and reading on literature, aesthetics, and theory for the past five years (and who have all tolerated my regular abuse to syntax and sense). It is impossible to express, in the space available, just how much I have learned, and what I have yet to learn, from my advisors: but these writers and thinkers and teachers have supported me in ways material and intellectual and friendly and rigorous. Speaking of support, it would be impossible to leave graduate school without thanking Sue Besemer, the Department Coordinator in Comparative Literature. I would never have successfully taken or taught a class, applied for or received funding, or even have processed the day-to-day stress of academic life, without her care and skill. I would also like to acknowledge my parents, who, in addition to being lovely, are among the most constant readers I have known. And to my brother, who has given me, historically, among other things, feminism, unparalleled kindness, and intellectual challenge. The list of names of friends who helped me with this project would be too long. I must thank, though, the members of my Dissertation Writing Group, Rebecca Kosick, Anna Horakova, and Elizabeth Blake (and the Society for the Humanities, which funded our work). Even more than writing, reading, and breakfasting with these friends helped me with this project, this collaboration taught me so much about how to support and seek support from other writers. Finally, if somewhat abruptly, I would like to thank books—without which this dissertation would not be possible. The most important books to a dissertation, I think, are the ones that do not appear within it, or appear only in the flourish of aside (which a writer hopes a vi reader can forgive): the only way to keep writing about books, I am sure, is to read other books no one expects me to make arguments about. Along these lines, I would like to thank the Collected Works of Jane Austen, especially her Juvenilia, which remind me daily of the Seriousness of Silliness and of Freindship [sic], Samuel Delany’s The Jewel-Hinged Jaw, Jane Bowles’ Two Serious Ladies, Lawrence Sterne’s Tristam Shandy, Melville House’s Novella Series, to which I subscribe, and, most of all, every poem or novel Elizabeth Blake ever emailed me about, which gave me reasons to wake up to a morning of the poem (“The Morning of the Poem” being a Schuyler poem for which I am also grateful). Similarly, I learned as much from reading groups in graduate school as I learned from class, and I would be a member of the Big Fat Post-War American Novel Reading Group for the rest of my life, I think, especially if, dear friends, we quit reading so much Pynchon. To books whose authors I know personally, I forward my thanks to your creators. With one exception, that is: I would thank the books, rather than their author, of Steven Zultanski, because he dislikes all things academic too much to want mentioning here, even if he was close at hand for all of this dissertation’s writing. In one respect, I hope that I am not like Montaigne—that I am not myself the matter of this book—but I thank him, nonetheless, for the essais: this is a project about experiments, and therefore about trying. I offer, this, with thanks, as one such attempt. Thank you, too, to the em-dash, which got me through this dissertation. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH ..................................................................................................................................

  • Bernadette Mayer - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Bernadette Mayer - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Bernadette Mayer(12 May 1945 -) An avant-garde writer associated with the New York School of poets, Bernadette Mayer was born in Brooklyn, New York, and has spent most of her life in New York City. Her collections of poetry include Midwinter Day (1982, 1999), A Bernadette Mayer Reader (1992), The Desire of Mothers to Please Others in Letters (1994), Another Smashed Pinecone (1998), and Poetry State Forest (2008). Known for her innovative use of language, Mayer first won critical acclaim for the exhibit Memory, which combined photography and narration. Mayer took one roll of film shot each day during July 1971, arranging the photographs and text in what Village Voice critic A.D. Coleman described as “a unique and deeply exciting document.” Mayer’s poetry often challenges poetic conventions by experimenting with form and stream-of-consciousness; readers have compared her to Gertrude Stein, Dadaist writers, and James Joyce. Poet Fanny Howe commented in the American Poetry Review on Midwinter Day, a book-length poem written during a single day in Lenox, Massachusetts: “In a language made up of idiom and lyricism, Mayer cancels the boundaries between prose and poetry, . Her search for patterns woven out of small actions confirms the notion that seeing what is is a radical human gesture.” The Desire of Mothers to Please Others in Letters consists of prose poems Mayer wrote during her third pregnancy. She also combined poetry and prose in Proper Name and Other Stories (1996).

    Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal, Vol.4, No.2. 134 Defamiliarization: Flarf, conceptual writing, and using flawed software tools as creative partners Richard P. Gabriel* IBM Research 3636 Altamont Way, Redwood City CA 94062, USA E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract: One form of creativity uses defamiliarization, a mechanism that frees the brain from its rational shackles and permits the abducing brain to run free. Mistakes and flaws in several software tools are shown to be the starting points for increased creativity and better art, and a theory explaining the phenomenon is proposed. Keywords: Writing; Poetry; Creativity; Flarf Biographical notes: Richard P. Gabriel received a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1981, and an MFA in Poetry from Warren Wilson College in 1998.

  • Rereading Bernadette Mayer's Midwinter Day and Lyn Hejinian's
    WOMEN'S STUDIES 2017, VOL. 46, NO. 6, 525–540 https://doi.org/10.1080/00497878.2017.1356301 Experimental Poetry from the Disputed Territory: Rereading Bernadette Mayer’s Midwinter Day and Lyn Hejinian’s My Life Lucy Biederman Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland When asked, at the start of a 2011 interview for the Poetry Foundation, whether she was born in Brooklyn or Queens, the poet Bernadette Mayer gives a neither/both answer. “The Disputed Territory,” she says, “Brooklyn/ Queens, New York,” adding, “I’m honored to be part of the Disputed Territory.” Perhaps Mayer’s early geographical designation—or non- designation—influenced her later attitude toward poetic allegiances and groupings. In anthologies and critical studies, Mayer has been variously placed with New York School, Language, and conceptual writers, a variety that in itself suggests the unclassifiable nature of her work.1 Mayer conveys something of the discomfort with which she approaches poetic classification when, later in the same interview, she answers an inquiry about Language poetry: “I like it now that they—I shouldn’t say ‘they’—that they’ve developed a sense of humor. For a long time it was in abeyance; now it’s back—well, I don’t think it ever existed, but now it does” (Interview). That cryptic response, jammed with strong proclamations quickly half-retracted, is char- acteristic of Mayer. Writing on this moment elsewhere, I have noted that Mayer’s “self-admonishing ‘I shouldn’t say “they”’ is followed almost imme- diately—and humorously—by another ‘they’” (Biederman). Had she not mentioned her origins in the Disputed Territory, one might know that Mayer was a native, anyway, by how skillfully she eludes apprehension (Biederman).

  • Conceptualisms, Old and New Marjorie Perloff Before Conceptual Art Became Prominent in the Late 1960S, There Was Already, So
    Conceptualisms, Old and New Marjorie Perloff Before conceptual art became prominent in the late 1960s, there was already, so Craig Dworkin has suggested in his “Anthology of Conceptual Writing” for Ubu Web (http://www.ubu.com/), a form of writing identifiable as conceptual poetry, although that term was not normally used to discuss the chance-generated texts of John Cage and Jackson Mac Low or the “word events” of George Brecht and La Monte Young. In his Introduction to the Ubu Web anthology, Dworkin makes an interesting case for a “non- expressive poetry,” “a poetry of intellect rather than emotion,” in which “the substitutions at the heart of metaphor and image were replaced by the direct presentation of language itself, with [Wordsworth’s] ‘spontaneous overflow [ of powerful feelings]’ supplanted by meticulous procedure and exhaustively logical process.” The first poet in Dworkin’s alphabetically arranged anthology of conceptual writing is Vito Acconci, whose early “poetry,” most of it previously unpublished, has now been edited and assembled, again by Dworkin for a hefty (411-page) volume called Language to Cover a Page, published in MIT Press’s Writing Art Series (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2006). I place poetry in quotes here because, strictly speaking, Acconci’s word texts —constraint-based lists, dictionary games, performance scores, or parodic translations-- are not so much poems as they are, in the Wittgensteinian sense, complex language games, in which the page has not yet been replaced by the video screen, the tape length, or the gallery space. Indeed, as Dworkin argues in an earlier piece on Acconci for October (95 [Winter 2001], pp.

Interview of Alice Notley 1 Interview of Alice Notley David Reckford AUTHOR'S NOTE This interview took place in Alice Notley’s apartment in Paris, in June 2018. 1 Alice Notley is a major American poet of our day, who has been living in Paris since the early 1990s, when she moved there with her second husband, the English poet, Doug Oliver (1937-2000), because Paris was where his professorial career was taking him. At that point Alice Notley was finding New York less amenable and was keen to go somewhere else. When he died in 2000, Alice Notley was sufficiently settled into Paris to remain there. 2 Although she is a Parisian now, Alice Notley was also a key figure on the Lower Manhattan poetry scene particularly of the late 1970s and the 1980s. Her first husband, Ted Berrigan, was an equally charismatic figure among an influential group of downtown poets.

  • Laynie Browne Laynie Please Bernadette
    Laynie Browne a ConCeptuaL assemBLage an introduCtion To work mine end upon their senses that This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drown my book. - Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act V Scene I, Prospero Looking for a title for this collection I turned first to the work of Bernadette Mayer, and found in her collection, The Desires of Mothers to 0: Introduction Please Others in Letters, the title “I’ll Drown My Book.” The process of opening Mayer to find Shakespeare reframed seems particularly fitting in the sense that conceptual writing often involves a recasting of the familiar and the found. In Mayer’s hands, the phrase “I’ll Drown My Book” becomes an unthinkable yet necessary act. This combination of BROWNE BROWNE unthinkable, or illogical, and necessary, or obligatory, also speaks to ways that the writers in this collection seek to unhinge and re-examine previous assumptions about writing. Thinking and performance are not separate from process and presentation of works. If a book breathes it 14 can also drown, and in the act of drowning is a willful attempt to create a book which can awake the unexpected—not for the sake of surprise, but because the undertaking was necessary for the writer in order to uproot, dismantle, reforge, remap or find new vantages and entrances to well trodden or well guarded territory. My contemporaries for the most part have often been distinguished by their lack of camps, categories, or movements.

  • Christian Bök's Xenotext Experiment, Conceptual Writing and the Subject
    Christian Bök's Xenotext Experiment, Conceptual Writing and the Subject-of-No- Subjectivity: "Pink Faeries and Gaudy Baubles" Dr Isabel Waidner (University of Roehampton, UK) Keywords Xenotext Experiment; conceptual writing; feminist science and technology studies; subject-of- no-subjectivity; avant-garde poetics Abstract Despite the wide impact of transdisciplinary scholarship that has theorised the interconnectedness of literature and science not least within the pages of this journal1, this article argues that the Canadian poet Christian Bök's Xenotext Experiment2 (and conceptual writing in general) reproduces historical epistemologies (including positivism and relativism) 1 Melissa Littlefield and Rajani Sudan, "Editorial Statement", Configurations, 20:3 (2012): pp. 209–212. 2 Christian Bök, "The Xenotext Experiment", SCRIPT-Ed 5:2 (2008): pp. 227-231. 1 that rely on the presumption of disciplinary autonomy. In the sciences, these epistemologies are connected to sociocultural and economic power, extreme resistance to criticality, and the production of normative subject and object positions (including what I term the subject-of-no- subjectivity on the one hand; and the passive, inert object of scientific positivism on the other). The article explores the implications, problems, and affordances of reproducing historical epistemologies in conceptual writing. The key argument is that the reproduction of historical epistemologies in the disciplinary context of literature yields avant-garde credentials, marginalising often content-led experimental

  • Reconceiving the Actual in Digital Art and Poetry
    humanities Article Code and Substrate: Reconceiving the Actual in Digital Art and Poetry Burt Kimmelman Department of Humanities, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ 07102, USA; [email protected] Received: 12 December 2016; Accepted: 5 July 2017; Published: 14 July 2017 Abstract: The quality of digital poetry or art—not merely as contained within our aesthetic reaction to digitally expressive works but as well our intellectual grounding in them—suggests that the digital’s seemingly ephemeral character is an indication of its lack of an apparently material existence. While, aesthetically, the digital’s ephemerality lies in the very fact of the digitally artistic enterprise, the fact is that its material substrate is what makes the aesthetic pleasure we take in it possible. When we realize for ourselves the role played by this substrate, furthermore, a paradox looms up before us. The fact is that we both enjoy, and in some sense separately understand the artwork comprehensively and fully; we also allow ourselves to enter into an ongoing conversation about the nature of the physical world. This conversation is not insignificant for the world of art especially, inasmuch as art depends upon the actual materials of the world—even digital art—and, too, upon our physical engagement with the art. Digital poetry and art, whose dynamic demands the dissolution of the line that would otherwise distinguish one from the other, have brought the notion of embodiment to the fore of our considerations of them, and here is the charm, along with the paradoxical strength, of digital art and poetry: it is our physical participation in them that makes them fully come into being.

  • Part of His History 1944-2020 by Steve Clay Originally Published in the Brooklyn Rail Dec 20 – Jan 21, 2021 Issue
    IN MEMORIAM Lewis Warsh: Part of His History 1944-2020 By Steve Clay Originally published in The Brooklyn Rail Dec 20 – Jan 21, 2021 Issue Working with Lewis Warsh was always an effortless pleasure and indistinguishable from our friendship. I first met him in Brooklyn in 1995, introduced by Mitch Highfill. We spoke about his archive and collection of rare books he wanted to sell, and arranged to meet at his apartment. During that visit I looked at his treasures, among which was a small book he'd assembled by hand when he found a set of black and white photographs taken in 1968, primarily on Bustin's Island, Maine and in Bolinas, California. The photographs were classic family-style vacation snapshots of Lewis and Anne Waldman, Ted, Sandy, and Kate Berrigan, Tom, Angelica, and baby Juliet Clark, Joanne Kyger, Jack Boyce, and others. Lewis had mounted the photos into a store- bought hardcover photo book, then typed captions and placed them across from the pictures: The front cover read Bustin's Island '68. I immediately proposed that Granary Books publish Portrait of Lewis Warsh, pencil on paper by Phong H. Bui. an edition. I was impressed with the spontaneity of the photographs and the sincerity of the writing. They gave me a private glimpse into a community of poets whose work and stories I knew but was now seeing in their formative years as friends and collaborators. It's a remarkably lucid portrait of a time and place. The captions, written 28 years after the fact, brought perspective to the changes during the intervening years.
