Breaker
When my words are safe
do I appeal to hieroglyphics
or no?
I should agree that most of this
writing stuff has been done
and I jark in its place
A dream is a sensible
place to lay an egg
and wake up on
And if I care enough to write
about my writing
in my writing
I have a shell I climb
inside when I’m feeling
awkward, shallow, momentary
I consider mostly
your naked body
on top of this
Wondering how I masturbate
when I’m alone
or being selfish
I can guarantee
with almost zero-certainty
I know what I’m talking about
My stare may be vacant
but I pass up margaritas
at my son’s quinceanera.
I can blindfold myself
asking empty questions
like, “Why am I not seeing it?”
It’s no easy task
moping around the desert
like it’s the inside of my shell
I might rather be micing mics
or taking pictures of 1 hour photo
drop-off booths
Near the mall. But it wouldn't
prove my words
safe as effective and meaningful

... BASIL BUNTING ... a lesson for us all! ...
At Briggflatts meetinghouse (1975)
Boasts time mocks cumber Rome. Wren
set up his own monument.
Others watch fells dwindle, think
the sun's fires sink.
Stones indeed sift to sand, oak
blends with saints' bones.
Yet for a little longer here
stone and oak shelter
silence while we ask nothing
but silence. Look how clouds dance
under the wind's wing, and leaves
delight in transience.

Trust merit for Christ sake.
The roaring twenties had rear-wheel suspension. Mescaline use was rare.
You could take a rope.
You could take pain like a fingerprint.
If I were to figure out how many ways to satisfy a particular equation,
Would it lead you to me?
Everyone is confused. Even metropolis and utopias have ingredients.
Perhaps, if the saddest cowboy had a marker, he could color himself in.
The instances in which we search for ourselves, maybe.
Tangle the wetness.
Telegraph certainty into a shape, please.
Enhance understanding in which all
Sometimes satisfies.
In a trillionth of a second, regulars appear
Somewhere.
A position can be dealt with with the right.
But satisfaction is something else.
Still, life drawings are something moving too.
Overtly without.
The invitations were sent out. I got mine.
I sent it to a friend who, when I’m not looking,
Cuts pieces and saves them in Lea.
Fall asleep on the couch.
I can’t help to be there. And it feels as if I’m certain.
Probably, I’ll satisfy a lower, and that’s where I stopped.
The roaring thirties fascinate even the most stoic. Grammar was diabolical.
A gram of anything was valuable.
What did they know? In those days.
We left our doors open and unlocked just to prove
That we could. Now, nearly eighty years later
We confuse merit for trust without merit.

Written at the outer edges of procedural restraint, Christian Bök's second book, Eunoia (Coach House Books, 2001), won the Griffin Prize for Poetic Excellence. An acclaimed performer of sound poetry (particularly the Ursonate by Kurt Schwitters), Bök's conceptual artwork, which includes books built out of Rubik's cubes and Lego bricks, has appeared at New York City's Marianne Boesky Gallery as part of the exhibit Poetry Plastique. His first book, Crystallography (Coach House Press, 1994), was nominated for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award. He has created artificial languages for two television shows: Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict and Peter Benchley's Amazon. Bök is currently a professor of English at the University of Calgary.
Rachel Zolf’s most recent poetry collection, Human Resources (Coach House, 2007), won the 2008 Trillium Book Award for Poetry and was shortlisted for a Lambda Literary Award. Her previous collections are Masque (Mercury, 2004) and Her absence, this wanderer (BuschekBooks, 1999, 2009--revised). Chapbooks published are Shoot and Weep (Nomados, 2008), from Human Resources (Belladonna, 2005) and the naked & the nude (above/ground, 2004). Her work appears in the anthology Shift & Switch: New Canadian Poetry and a forthcoming Coach House anthology of Canadian innovative women’s poetry and poetics. She has published and performed her poetry across Canada and the U.S., and her critical essays have appeared in Xcp: Cross-Cultural Poetics, West Coast Line and Open Letter. She was the founding poetry editor of The Walrus magazine and has edited several books by other poets. She is currently the recipient of a Chalmers Arts Fellowship supporting a poetic project on competing knowledges in Israel-Palestine, entitled The Neighbour Procedure.

"One of the most original and fascinating books of poetry I have seen in some time. As its strange travelogue format becomes apparent, it begins to seem the fulfillment of these lines from 'Figures of Travel': 'the language which escapes you in one country haunts you in another.' One hears so much about how contemporary poetry has alienated its audience, but this book seems one to which people who read contemporary fiction would be strongly attracted"

Because of my drastic (sometimes over drastic) antipathy for The Believer magazine I often forget that they occasionally have works of magnitude, like this one:
... the wonderous MILKHEAD stays in Berkeley and the world is a better place ... LINKs ...
WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER A LAMP that turns on and off when you clap, when you clap your eyes. A lamp that lets you see in the dark without disturbing the dark. A lamp producing natural light. A lamp that when you clap turns on and on.
-from Ben Lerner's Angle of Yaw (he is not Milkhead, just in case you made the mistake))
... Stanford's opus sold so fast and it was so unexpected that a major second printing is on its way ... !!! ...
This is the way The Battlefield begins:
(and you will never be the same)
... for reasons that are somewhat peculiar I have more books by Keith Waldrop than by any other author ... And I need another ...
"Keith Waldrop is one of the freshest, strongest poets in our language.Transcendental Studies shows how good he really is. Intelligence and lyricism live together in his work, exalted intellect and sly cunning, playfulness and heartbreak, they all dance together, sometimes with postmodern angularity, sometimes with a sort of Horatian civility. I open the book and read and just want to go on. Waldrop's mastery is not just of the local text, but of that great animal, the book."—Robert Kelly, author of The Book from the Sky

Waterboarding
I am months surfing, although pregnant a handful of times.
During first pregnancy I've been non-stop during this.
I guess you’re lax the second time, going surfing included.
This summer, my good friend is due, a few days.
I arranged babysitters.
We hit the water Thursday morning.
This morning I was putting wetsuit on.
Noticed it much tighter.
We paddled out.
I kept thinking.
"A good thing we're longboarding."
I get my knees to paddle, I believe.
How uncomfortable I was! We’re out there.
Talking.
Wondering how much.
Longer Thursday surf session, when another preggie.
As she paddled, by we talk, finding, that she’s, due.
The same week, we are.
She has a few in the water before her board goes into storage.
Other than being uncomfortable, how long?
Your stomach protrudes out.
You think you’re more prone, but is it really?
That much unsafe surfing.
At three months.
Was all you moms.
Out there–did you surf pregnant? Why/why not?

GHOSTS AND GOBLINS - FRIDAY 2.13.09 - 7:00
 | The Hobo Gobbelins emerge from the pulsing art vortex of Oakland, Ca., the green-skinned child of punk rock, avant-garde performance art and hobo soul. Drawing on a dizzying array of influences, the band incorporates traditional sounds of Americana and the Old World with the horrors of modernity. Monsters from folklore and fiction wriggle alongside freight-train spirituals and drinking songs. The result is a disturbing haunted house for the ear, a nightmare carnival that is at turns goofy and murderous. Human audiences drink more, dance better, and writhe uncontrollably to goblin beatings- er, beats. Incidentally, audience is the goblin word for “food that screams”. All the way from LA for one show only . . . Ema and the Ghosts! And, Campfire

... necessary interview from Free Verse ... link! link! link! ...
Interview with Susan Howe from
FV: What do you see as most vital about the state of contemporary American poetry and what do you see as most troubling—if anything?SH: Despite our prevailing anti-intellectualism I feel part of an innovative tradition among poets that is very much alive and courageously independent, if you consider the political tragedy and corruption of recent years. This tradition is particularly to be found in small presses, because they haven't entered into the capitalist nexus and dare to do the unexpected. In some ways the Internet has made access to cutting edge work easier because it is easier to locate books on line. I don't care if poets have small audience in terms of this culture's insatiable desire for blockbuster ratings or numbers of Internet hits on a title or author's name. Numbers aren't everything. Some powerful work is quiet and at first may even seem to set up defenses against being approached. Maybe in these noisy bloated times poetry on the page doesn't provide the instant emotional immersion and immediacy of films such as Notre Musique. On the other hand, John Ashbery's splendid new collection Where Shall I Wander has recently been published. Elizabeth Willis is fine-tuning Meteoric Flowers for Wesleyan University Press. The Boston Review prints poems in each issue that are far more intellectually ambitious than poetry I read in in The London Review of Books, or the TLS. Flood Editions, an independent press for poetry and short fiction founded in Chicago in 2001, is thriving. In Berkeley SPD continues its important work, distributing independently-published books around the country and the world. The Library of America edition of Wallace Stevens: Collected Poetry and Prose, edited by Frank Kermode and Joan Richardson is here beside me. By opening it I can rendezvous with my “Interior Paramour.” Through the perfection of sound in his words I approach “those sanctions that are the reasons for his being and for that occasional ecstasy, or ecstatic freedom of the mind that is his special privilege.”

... David Berman ...
"And I suppose a dead soul must look back at that tree,
so far behind his wagon where it also doesn't matter."
so far behind his wagon where it also doesn't matter."
... goodbye Joos ...
Silver Jew Calls
It Quits, Exposes Dad
After twenty years and a half dozen albums (including last year's excellent Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea) David Berman is apparently hanging up the Silver Jews moniker to focus on other projects. In a post on the SJ forum tonight titled "Silver Jews End-Lead Singer Bids His Well-Wishers Adieu" he announced: "I guess I am moving over to another category. Screenwriting or Muckraking. I've got to move on. Can't be like all the careerists doncha know." Even more surprising is the follow-up missive that begins, "Now that the Joos are over I can tell you my gravest secret. Worse than suicide, worse than crack addiction." That one's called "My Father, My Attack Dog." Here's the text of both.
Silver Jews End-Lead Singer Bids his Well-Wishers Adieu
Hello, my friend.Cassie and I went to the cave and it looks great. 58 degrees but the humidity makes it feel like 72.
I'm just going to play fifteen songs. My fifteen favorite ones.
A dollar per song. Plus Arnett Hollow. I don't
want to keep you underground for too long. Fall Creek Falls State Park State Lodge is great by the way.
Yes I cancelled the South American shows. I'll have to see the ABC Countries another way.
I guess I am moving over to another category. Screenwriting or Muckraking.
I've got to move on. Can't be like all the careerists doncha know.
I'm forty two and I know what to do.
I'm a writer, see?
Cassie is taking it the hardest. She's a fan and a player but she sees how happy i am with the decision.
I always said we would stop before we got bad. If I continue to record I might accidentally write the answer song to Shiny Happy People.
What, you thought I was going to hang on to the bitter end like Marybeth Hamilton?
love david
This was posted a few hours later:
My Father, My Attack Dog
Now that the Joos are over I can tell you my gravest secret. Worse than suicide, worse than crack addiction:My father.
You might be surprised to know he is famous, for terrible reasons.
My father is a despicable man. My father is a sort of human molestor.
An exploiter. A scoundrel. A world historical motherfucking son of a bitch. (sorry grandma)
You can read about him here.
My life is so wierd. It's allegorical to the nth. My father went to college at Transylvania University.
You see what I'm saying.
A couple of years ago I demanded he stop his work. Close down his company or I would sever our relationship.
He refused. He has just gotten worse. More evil. More powerful. We've been "estranged" for over three years.
Even as a child I disliked him. We were opposites. I wanted to read. He wanted to play games.
He is a union buster.
When I got out of college I joined the Teamsters (the guards were union organized at the Whitney).
I went off to hide in art and academia.
I fled through this art portal for twenty years. In the mean time my Dad started a very very bad
company called Berman and Company.
He props up fast food/soda/factory farming/childhood obesity and diabetes/drunk driving/secondhand smoke.
He attacks animal lovers, ecologists, civil action attorneys, scientists, dieticians, doctors, teachers.
His clients include everyone from the makers of Agent Orange to the Tanning Salon Owners of America.
He helped ensure the minimum wage did not move a penny from 1997-2007!
The worst part for me as a writer is what he does with the english language.
Though vicious he is a doltish thinker
and his spurious editorials rely on doublethink and always with the Lashon Hara.
As I studied Judaism over the years, the shame and the shanda,
grew almost too much. my heart was constantly on fire for justice. I could find no relief.
This winter I decided that the SJs were too small of a force to ever come close to
undoing a millionth of all the harm he has caused. To you and everyone you know.
Literally, if you eat food or have a job, he is reaching you.
I've always hid this terrible shame from you, the fan. The SJs have always stood autonomous and clear.
Hopefully it won't contaminate your feelings about the work.
My life has been riddled with Ibsenism. In a way I am the son of a demon come to make good the damage.
Previously I thought, through songs and poems and drawings I could find and build a refuge away from his world.
But there is the matter of Justice.
And i'll tell you it's not just a metaphor. The desire for it actually burns.
It hurts.
There needs to be something more. I'll see what that might be.

So send us something with a little moxie. Please nothing too linear or preachy (unless it involves Snoop Dogg, the Keebler Elves, and pile of cookies). Submissions are open until March 10th.
Also we're always looking for art. It has to be compatible with our small format and only the cover image can be in full color. And it should make us feel like we have been made love to by a very small horse."
