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.

  • 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.

  • Helen Adam Lit Slip
    THE NATIONAL POETRY FOUNDATION University of Maine, 5752 Neville Hall, Room 400, Orono, ME 04469-5752 announces the publication of a helen adam reader Edited and with an introduction by Kristin Prevallet W.H. Auden awarded Helen Adam the New York Quarterly’s Madeline Sadin Award for “excellence in craft”; Richard Howard described her ballads as “glittering sorceries”; and Robert Duncan referred to her as “the grain of living poetry that saves me at times.” Collected for the first time from books long out of print and archival material gathered and presented by Kristin Prevallet, A Helen Adam Reader includes a substantial selection of ballads, as well as lyric scripts, a short story, interviews, and correspondence. It also includes a DVD which features excerpts from her opera, a recording of her singing bal- lads, and a slideshow of her collages. Advance praise for A Helen Adam Reader Kristen Prevallet has provided an inestimable service by bringing Helen Adam’s work into print. Adam was a central figure in the San Francisco Renaissance and New York poetry scenes where her inspired readings achieved legendary status. Her merging of the bardic tradition and pop culture, mythopoeic lore and urban uncanny represents the most anomalous features of cold war poetics yet exemplifies many of its most character- istic traits. Prevallet’s superb introduction and editorial apparatus provide a histor- ical and critical context for reading this remarkable poet. – Michael Davidson Adam is the most exuberantly anachronistic of second wave modernist poets. Her magical, macabre, magnificently chilling ballads open a secret door into the Dark with rimes both gruesome and sublime.

  • Poetic Economies in Performance: an Introduction Elizabeth-Jane Burnett
    1 Poetic Economies in Performance: An Introduction Elizabeth-Jane Burnett There is a phrase shuttling between Boulder, Colorado and New York City. A phrase meshed among the roots of two institutions exceptional for their promotion of contemporary poetry in performance. The institutions are Naropa University and the Bowery Poetry Club; the phrase: “the poetic economy.” This section brings together writings from those central to this term’s origin and appropriation: Anne Waldman, who with Allen Ginsberg founded the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa, and Kristin Prevallet, who founded the Study Abroad on the Bowery program with Anne Waldman, Alan Gilbert and Bob Holman. Speaking at the Bowery Poetry Club in 2005, Anne Waldman defined the poetic economy as the set of exchanges within a community developed to promote collaborative creative ventures.1 She places this type of community in opposition to widespread conceptions of a culture industry, as it does not aim to make economic profit. The poetic economy instead takes anthropological precedents, looking at the way that archaic societies used exchanges for purposes other than making money. The work of Melanesian ethnographers on the gift, principally Marcel Mauss’s The Gift, Forms and Functions of Exchange in Archaic Societies,2 is suggestive of possibilities for developing poetic networks and also promotes poetry’s performance as being central to this type of economy. Poetry’s oral tradition is finding new relevance in the recent development of poetic practices supported by Naropa and the Bowery Poetry Club that focus on the spoken word. This link between economy and performance is made more explicit by Prevallet and Waldman in the interviews published in this section, while further contextualisation of the term “poetic economy” 1 Anne Waldman speaking at the Bowery Poetry Club, SAB Program, 2005 2 Mauss, Marcel.
