  • Joanne Kyger and the Aesthetics of Attention
    Joanne Kyger and the Aesthetics of Attention Terence Diggory Skidmore College In the popular mind Beat writing is expressionist, a “howl” of agony or an exclamation of ecstasy. Emotion is projected, expressed from the writer into the world. The attention of the reader or listener is directed to the writer as the source of what is expressed, so the person of Allen Ginsberg or Jack Kerouac, for instance, becomes as famous as his writing. Joanne Kyger, the subject of this paper, is not famous in this way. The fact that she is a woman has tended to keep her on the margins of the homosocial network of Beat writers, as recent critics, including my fellow panelists, Linda Russo and Amy Friedman, have noted. But Kyger’s writing practice also tends to direct attention away from the writer onto the world in which the writer is situated. “Being me” seems less urgent to Kyger than “being there,” the phrase that both Michael Davidson (88) and Linda Russo (“Introduction”) cite to characterize Kyger’s work. The phrase “being there” appears in a sequence entitled Joanne (1970), and that title makes clear that Kyger is not wholly detached from the concept of personal identity. But she writes, “I wasn’t built in a day” (About Now 196). The sequence Joanne, like much of her later work, gives the impression of a self being built during the writing process rather than a preexisting self being expressed through the writing. Individual moments of perception supply the building blocks, and each moment is equally capable of making or unmaking what has preceded it.

Ethos as an element in the development of social outlooks helps explain the editorial impulses and the formations of attitude that gave definition and meaning to Skanky Possum. Ethos draws attention to the communicative and communityestablishing function of the small press literary zine. Ethos also points to structures of feeling that converged in the years of the publication of Skanky Possum (1998-2004). Diverse and at times conflicting lines of force were drawn socially through the extended network of poets and readers who contributed to, and received, the journal. Part of the work of Skanky Possum then was to acknowledge division in literary and social practice while encouraging forms of poetic conspiracy on the edges of established networks of writing.

  • Reviews & Press •
    REVIEWS & PRESS Lewis Warsh & Anne Waldman, eds. Angel Hair Sleeps with a Boy in My Head:Angel Hair Anthology. Granary Books, 2001. • Black, Noel. "Toeing the Lines." Fine Print (January 31- February 6, 2002). This is John Ashbery (of a generation before) at his most accessible smugness, which isn't saying much. His "entries," which range from a laundry list of names and oil companies to faux diary moments, is made bearable by Joe Brainard's always gorgeous black-and-white pop doodles of cartoon rain, the toilet, bacon and eggs, and other illuminated mundanities. The Angel Hair Anthology, edited by Anne Waldman and Lewis Warsh, Granary Books, 2001. Like Donald Allen's seminal 1960 anthology The New American Poetry, this collection of avant- irreverance reads like notes from a collective of disillusioned scientists furtively searching for a new feeling. Gathered from the archives of poets Waldman and Warsh's underground magazine and press of the same name, The Angel Hair Anthology rounds up works of brilliant then-young poets the likes of Bernadette Mayer, Ted Berrigan, John Wieners, Rene Ricard, Dick Gallup, and Joanne Kyger. Like all anthologies, the poems are hit-and-miss, but it's great to see works by many lesser-known and less-published authors like Mary Ferrari and Charles Stein. A great look into Angel Hair's sphere of influences and progressions. González, Ray. "The Writing Life: Poetry, Anthologies and Recordings." The Bloomsbury Review 22.2 (March/ April 2002). This is a massive collection reflecting the mid-sixties poetry scene in New York and a 12-year publishing venture between Anne Waldman and Lewis Warsh.

Maestas University of Washington Abstract Calling Out the State: Postmodern American Anthropoetics Nadine A. Maestas Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Brian Reed English Department This dissertation explores the relationship between the postmodern and the premodern in American poetry. Beginning with Lyotard’s definition of the postmodern, I move to incorporate Charles Olson’s introduction of the term postmodern in American letters. While Lyotards’ definition offers that the postmodern is against the meta narrative of modernity, Olson’s introduction of the term postmodern in 1952 emphasizes a temporal blurring that is central to the notion of the postmodern. After illustrating how the work of Olson, Burroughs, and Rothenberg are derived from anthropological and ethnographic exploration of premodern cultures and their poetic forms, I then move to the anthropologist Michael Taussig, whose contribution to the field was to turn anthropological analysis to critique Western culture. Taussig believes that our very means of representation are under siege, and that in order disrupt this siege of representation, writing must engage and disrupt the languages and images that reify the power of the modern nation-state. For Taussig, poetry can and does produce this type of disruption. My goal is to effectively apply anthropology as an alternative method of reading poetry. Though partly informed by anthropology, ethnopoetics, textual studies and literary studies, my method of anthropoetics heavily draws on the methodology of Michael Taussig.
