  • THE SECOND COMING of KALI in the Too Cool Air Of
    THE SECOND COMING OF KALI In the too cool air of Kathmandu, the crows of morning step with ageless certainty across the rooftop of remembered dreams, watching while billows of silken smoke ooze silently into the Mist of Time. From within the dim centuries of imprisoned youth, the voice of the poet calls to the chill winds of early March, requesting their mute collaboration in a messianic symphony of the Mind. The winds recede only to howl obscene smiles from behind the frozen peaks of the Himalayas. There is no misfortune here, all the Signs are in perfect order: Sun Soul Three planets in Taurus. Difficult but not without possibilities. Acknowledging the oracles of inverted love, the poet bathes his fingers in the blood of martyrs, forgetful saints who have long since passed into the hallowed shrines of fabled Illusion. Donning the scarlet robes of his sacred priesthood, he walks without haste to a small balcony overlooking the crowded bazaar. Transformation, the echo of Spring prostrating before the sun-swept form of a rising Kali, her naked blackness clothed only with an aura of hope. The temple is ready, the virgins of the marketplace having fornicated with the goats, washing first their hymens in the green urine of palsied beggars. The Mistress of God nods approvingly and slips across the threshold into the welcoming room. Is something warm waiting around the corner? she asks, spreading her angry legs wide in an unsolicited gesture of divine forgiveness. Undressing, the priest replies: I am I am I am. And who are you? sneers the Goddess of Death, speaking with humble adoration for the intense neophyte whose long lost pride she must dutifully restore.

  • Tipton Gulfstream
    THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2019 VIBRANT TRADE AT FASIG- MID-ATLANTIC RACING INDUSTRY ANNOUNCES PLAN TO REDUCE FATALITIES TIPTON GULFSTREAM The Mid-Atlantic region’s Thoroughbred racing industry-- including track operators, horsemen’s organizations, breeders, racing commissions and regulatory and racetrack veterinarians-- has voted unanimously to formally adopt and fully implement a long-term Mid-Atlantic Strategic Plan to Reduce Equine Fatalities, according to a press release issued by the Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association. The aforementioned stakeholders all participated in the creation of the plan, which is available for download here. Many phases of the plan had already been put into practice stemming from the 2012 New York Task Force Report on Race Horse Health and Safety, which initially served as the model for regional and national industry reform. Since regional implementation of the Task Force’s recommendations, and many others since that time, the incidence of equine racing fatalities in the Mid-Atlantic region has declined 29%.

    OTHER WORLD POETRY NEWSLETTER Another Smoke-Filled Room A’DAM ARTS MOB SQUATS NEW TURF "The movement didn’t fall of its own. It was pushed. For one thing it became political, and as everyone knows, Art and Politics do not mix." Piero Heliczer “L’Underground c’est moi” P78 Anthology AMSTERDAM (July 1979) — Afternoon of the Summer Solstice, weather for Amsterdam unusually balmy. Upstairs in a windowless room filling quickly with smoke, Stichting One World Poetry (SOWP) takes official possession of its first real office space, an indoor quonset hut situated on the mezzanine floor of the famed Melkweg (Milky Way) multimedia center, "where New Age freaks go to dance, get stoned & fry their brains under the probing strobe lamps of unlimited diversion," as one native-alien poet has succinctly described the place. The description is a good one, if only partially true. This puts SOWP right next door to Melkweg’s own bureaucratic nerve center, a 3-room suite of offices where all the typewriters are electric and nothing so humble as a hand stapling device can ever be found. SOWP’s own private telephone connection is also set for imminent installation. Meanwhile, committees are being formed, meetings are getting scheduled and bold plans stretching forward a year or more are being systematically plotted. One looks at it all and wonders: Isn’t this maybe the way some of the big multinational sports organizations got started? Like, say, the World Tennis Organization (WTO) or whatever it’s called. A bunch of guys who dig tennis get together one day and decide to promote a few matches.

    The Rising of the Cosmopolitan Personalities Davide Crimi, Dott Doctor in Political Science, Master in Economics, Researcher in Social Sciences. Executive Manager Fondazione M1 Project manager at European Affairs Office, Local Government, Europrogettazione at Eurogiovani, Catania, Italy Responsible in Charge at Europe Direct Catania, Italy Abstract This short essay wants to look at beat literature as a medium that has re-introduced in popular feelings the possibility to change the world, transforming its social rules by using new technologies as instruments for emancipation. Stating this, the essay links the beat movement to hipster’s hopes of the beginning of the XX century, with the need to reflect on the meaning of two WW as barriers to people’s emancipation. From the non-academic side of the perspective, the essay indicates some special sources, trying to demonstrate how beat literature has shaped new meanings to words like “occult”, “magic”, linking them with other words like “awareness” and “emancipation”. Doing this, a tribute is given to the historical role played by the magazine “International Times” as living witness of the years when beat literature was germinating into the generational protest. The conclusions are oriented towards the meaning in the present for a beat attitude to (social) life, with the new awareness of the way indicated by Allen Ginzberg about the unuseful dimension of drugs as instruments to get the vision, and the need to substitute them with natural tools to be able to extract them from unconscious through yoga and meditation systems. This may help to create a new kind of people, involved in a cosmopolitan interpretation of life, able to interconnect by the new information and communication technologies, ready to create a new social intellect.
