Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Poetry. Cross-Genre. Leslie Scalapino's new book of prose, THE DIHEDRONS GAZELLE-DIHEDRALS ZOOM, while a work that stands on its own, is book II as a pair with book I, FLOATS HORSE-FLOATS OR HORSE-FLOWS (Starcherone, 2010), described by Michael McClure as follows: "This is a jewel book that has come out of the spagyric hinterlands of purest imagination, where it has lain for an immeasurable time alongside Burroughs's Cities of the Red Night, Hans Arp's poetry, Monkey's Journey to the West, and Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger and it blows with the elegance of a horse or a wolf...Virginia Woolf " Lydia Davis commented: "Leslie Scalapino's writing reveals how far language and therefore thought itself can go beyond what we are accustomed to, and the forms in which she writes delightfully defy our expectations."

Book Synopsis The Contemporary Narrative Poem by : Steven P. Schneider
Download or read book The Contemporary Narrative Poem written by Steven P. Schneider and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2012-12-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years, narrative poems have made a comeback against the lyric approach to poetry that has dominated the past century. Drawing on a decade of conferences and critical seminars on the topic, The Contemporary Narrative Poem examines this resurgence of narrative and the cultural and literary forces motivating it. Gathering ten essays from poet-critics who write from a wide range of perspectives and address a wide range of works, the collection transcends narrow conceptions of narrative, antinarrative, and metanarrative. The authors ask several questions: What formal strategies do recent narrative poems take? What social, cultural, and epistemological issues are raised in such poems? How do contemporary narrative poems differ from modernist narrative poems? In what ways has history been incorporated into the recent narrative poetry? How have poets used the lyric within narrative poems? How do experimental poets redefine narrative itself through their work? And what role does consciousness play in the contemporary narrative poem? The answers they supply will engage every poet and student of poetry.
Book Synopsis North American Women Poets in the 21st Century by : Lisa Sewell
Download or read book North American Women Poets in the 21st Century written by Lisa Sewell and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-25 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American Women Poets in the 21st Century: Beyond Lyric and Language is an important new addition to the American Poets in the 21st Century series. Like earlier anthologies, this volume includes generous selections of poetry by some of the best poets of our time as well as illuminating poetics statements and incisive essays on their work. This unique organization makes these books invaluable teaching tools. Broadening the lens through which we look at contemporary poetry, this new volume extends our reading of each poet beyond the constraints of any one aesthetic, school, or movement; this volume pushes readers to see beyond the binary of lyric and language. What unites the varied approaches of these writers, is a commitment to creating new fields, new idioms, new vernaculars, and new forms. Key areas of conflict and concern, among the eleven poets, include genre and the nature of the lyric, connections between gender and aesthetics, and the nature of poetic language. Among the insightful pieces included in this volume are essays by Catherine Cucinella on Marilyn Chin, Meg Tyler on Fanny Howe, Elline Lipkin on Alice Notley, Kamran Javadizadeh on Claudia Rankine, Brian Teare on Martha Ronk, Michael Cross on Leslie Scalapino, Lynn Keller on Cole Swensen, Khadijah Queen on Natasha Trethewey, Lisa Russ Spaar on Jean Valentine, Julie Brown on Cecilia Vicuña, and Richard Greenfield on Rosmarie Waldrop. A companion web site will present audio of each poet's work.

Book Synopsis How Phenomena Appear to Unfold by : Leslie Scalapino
Download or read book How Phenomena Appear to Unfold written by Leslie Scalapino and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. New and Expanded Edition. In 'Eco-logic in Writing, ' one of many brilliant essay-talks in this volume, Leslie Scalapino asks, 'Seeing the the moment of, or at the time of, writing, what difference does one's living make?' What more crucial question for those concered not only with writing but with poethics: composing words into a socially conscious wager. For Scalapino the essay is a poetic act; the poetic act, essay. It's in that combination that her textual eros--the lush beauty of it!--could reject aesthetic purity and risk the rawness of genuinely new thought, touching what she called 'the rim of occurring.' 'Writing on rim' is a celebration of the wondrous present, but requires agonistic struggle with the ugly--poverty, war, institutional brutality, racism, sexism, homophobia. Scalapino's Steinian strategy of recomposing the vision of one's times, 'altering oneself and altering negative social formation, ' is her artfully problematized project of writing ourselves into a better future. With compassion and humor, Scalapino was indeed living on the rim of occurrence. That is the living in the writing that produced this work--its fundamental optimism and ebullient credo: 'The future creates the past.'--Joan Retallack Where critics used to debate, as if it were a real thing, a difference between form and content, so now they would separate 'theory' from 'practice, ' and thus divide a poet from his or her own intentions and poetry from its motives. But in fact poetic language might be precisely a thinking about thinking, a form of introspection and inspection within the unarrested momentum of experience, that makes the polarization of theory and practice as irrelevant as that of form and content, mentality and physicality, art and reality. Leslie Scalapino is one of a certain number of contemporary poets who have engaged in the struggle, not against distinctions but against the reification of false oppositions. Her work, in her volumes of poetry and in the collection here, is a thinking and a thinking about that, including small details and larger continua; these essays (works) are an essential testament to poetry and to its embodiment, and the book is an important contribution to the singularity and wholeness of her project.--Lyn Hejinian Everything conceives of what Leslie does. It's one of the functions of literature to take us in and out of time. She writes directly at the subject from inside it. Remembering forgets even itself when taken out of time.--Alan Davies Leslie Scalapino's writing is grounded in a singular and acute critical intelligence. It is work which challenges the conventional limits of genre and subject, even as it interrogates the surfaces and spaces of everyday life, revealing the simultaneity of the 'floating'--or hidden--world beneath. The essays and plays collected here represent a richly imaginative extension of that exploratory project.--Michael Palmer
Download or read book New Time written by Leslie Scalapino and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time spent in Japan, and everyday life in Berkeley and Oakland, come together as a kaleidoscope of words and consciousness in New Time. Leslie Scalapino pushes at the edges / spatial shape of language and experience in her new collection by writing that is itself events, which are to "punch a hole in reality." Real events, occurring in real time, are transformed in the act of writing them as perceived rather than interpreted. Phrases repeat, conjoin, break apart, and return in this challenging and innovative work, as Scalapino moves toward a "new time" wherein there is no 'inner' — one's illusion that is "the adamant social being / is inner" and "the body is a new form."

Download or read book How to Do Things with Words written by John Langshaw Austin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1975 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work sets out Austin's conclusions in the field to which he directed his main efforts for at least the last ten years of his life. Starting from an exhaustive examination of his already well-known distinction between performative utterances and statements, Austin here finally abandons that distinction, replacing it with a more general theory of 'illocutionary forces' of utterances which has important bearings on a wide variety of philosophicalproblems.
Book Synopsis The Coming Mental Range by : Will Alexander
Download or read book The Coming Mental Range written by Will Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection of short prose writings in Will Alexander's signature "vertical philosophy." THE COMING MENTAL RANGE brings readers deep into the revolutionary poetics and philosophy of multi-disciplinary artist, writer, and musician Will Alexander. Gathering together a group of Alexander's short prose writings in his signature "vertical philosophy" with essays in poetics touching on the work of admired artists and poets (Byron Baker, Wanda Coleman, Pablo Jofré, Bob Kaufman, and Ghérasim Luca to name a few), in addition to several key interviews with the author, The Coming Mental Range serves as a critical introduction to Alexander's work and thought, and as a companion to volumes in poetry and philosophy like Divine Blue Light (City Lights, 2022), Refractive Africa (New Directions, 2021), and Towards the Primeval Lightning Field (O Books, 1998). In The Coming Mental Range, "language crystallizes as imaginal blazing, as musical incandescence," and we are swept along in its roaring tides to other shores. As Alexander writes, "What is most concerning language must never fail at convincing, at emancipating its readership via transgressive spiral." "As readers of Alexander's writing have come to expect, it is swarming with information from a vast library -- like one lost in Alexandria -- that the author has absorbed into his bloodstream: philosophy; science of all kinds from color theory to the study of insects and lemurs; alchemy, geography; the Dogon; mining in Zimbabwe in 41,000 B.C.; science fiction; and the output of little-known writers. And really this is just the tip of the iceberg."--John Yau "The desire in such writing is for a paradise of language, for the creation in language of a reality that uses particles that ignite new constellations as they foment interlocking nonsequitur constellations that ignite new constellations as they burst."--Clayton Eshleman "Will Alexander is our alchemist. We are his raw materials." -- Andrei Codrescu Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Essay. Hybrid. Poetics. African & African American Studies.
Book Synopsis The Front Matter, Dead Souls by : Leslie Scalapino
Download or read book The Front Matter, Dead Souls written by Leslie Scalapino and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leslie Scalapino is widely regarded as one of the best avant-garde writers in America today. This extraordinary new book is essay-fiction-poetry, an experiment in form, "a serial novel for publication in the newspaper" that collapses the distinction between documentary and fiction. Loosely set in Los Angeles, the book scrutinizes our image-making, producing extreme and vivid images-hyena, Muscle Beach in Venice, the Supreme Court, subway rides-in order for them to be real. Countering contemporary trends toward interiority, Scalapino's work constitutes a unique effort to "be" objectively in the world. The writing is an action, a dynamic push to make intimacy in the public realm. She does not distinguish between poetry and "real events": her writing is analogous to Buddhist notions of dreaming one is a butterfly, and becoming aware that actually being the butterfly is as real as dreaming it.
Download or read book Sight written by Lyn Hejinian and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. A collaborative effort by two of today's most famous poets. Equal parts poetry and philosophy, Lyn Hejinian and Leslie Scalapino's collaboration is organized around the act and idea of seeing, written in the form of a literary dialogue. We were interested in a joint investigation into the workings of experience, writes Hejinian in the introduction, how experience happens, what it consists of, how the experiencing (percieving, feeling, thinking) of it occurs, what the sensation of sensing tells us. Visual descriptions interact with meditations on contemporary life, Western intellectual history, dream, film, poetry, and collaboration itself. Scalapino: the sight is the/ reverse of the occurrence Hejinian: Sight is lyrical, because its subtext is annihilation.
Book Synopsis The Animal is in the World Like Water in Water by : Leslie Scalapino
Download or read book The Animal is in the World Like Water in Water written by Leslie Scalapino and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Art. Originally printed as an artist book by Granary Books in an edition of 40 in 2010. "THE ANIMAL IS IN THE WORLD LIKE WATER IN WATER is a collaboration of drawings by Kiki Smith and poetry by Leslie Scalapino (myself).... Kiki Smith sent me color xeroxes of a completed sequence, forty-three drawings, which she'd titled, 'Women Being Eaten by Animals.' I wrote the poem using the sense of an unalterable past occurrence: One female, apparently the same girl, is repeatedly, in very similar images as variations, bitten and clawed by a leopard-like, lion-like animal. Both person and animal have abstracted features, giving the impression of innocence or opaqueness. As in a dream of similar actions or a dream of a single, timeless action, the girl flecked with blood while being unaltered by the animal's touch, there is no representation of motion except stillness of the figures floating in space of page. Neither the girl nor the animal articulate expression, as if phenomena of feeling(s) do not exist. "The words make in an outside/space a sense of the undoing of social tyranny as undoing of any hierarchy in individuals' feelings and perception as well as in people's values (public indistinguishable from private). Without hierarchy, past-reality-future is apparently free paradise of childhood and of birds. This outside space of the word/or that is my words abuts the other visible space of 'Women being eaten by animals' (Kiki's original title). While reading as well as seeing the images (but also if only seeing the visual images?), the viewer has the experience of body and mind being separated as if that is caused by the outside world. This experience of the viewer arises from their sense, in seeing, that one is separated from the scene of the girl and the animal alone together as if making love; and a sense of separation arises from the girl and animal not mimicking expressions of experiencing sensations. The disconnect that's itself the dreamlike dialogue between 'not being experienced (by the senses)'—and separation or union (both together?) of mind/eye and body/sight—has to be first enacted by Smith's visual images, in order for the language to broach this (subject) matter at all. Is dialogue possible without language?"—Leslie Scalapino
