Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrei Codrescu's infamous anti-literary magazine Exquisite Corpse became a prime site of engaged dialogue in the stormy decade of its existence. Taking its name from Surrealism, the Corpse became the home of rebellion, passion, polemic, black humor, sedition, and all points between the front lines and back alleys of contemporary culture. In this text, Codrescu and Rosenthal resurrect the best essays and poems from Carl Rakosi, James Purdy, Joel Oppenheimer, Robert Creeley, Tom Clark and other members of America's vibrant and eclectic avant-garde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrei Codrescu's controversial and notorious anti-literary literary magazine Exquisite Corpse has become a primary source for the non-brain-dead everywhere. Rebellion, passion and black humor are the journal's trademarks. In 1999 Black Sparrow published Volume One (limited to poetry and essays) of this two-volume anthology. This second volume completes the project with fictions, travels and translations. By expanding its audience, the first volume transformed the Corpse from its cult status as a privileged pleasure of the cognoscenti to a generally acclaimed repository of cultural and aesthetic libertarianism. Media critics around the country celebrated a delightful compilation of the dying century's last spasm of creative rage against the system. "Unplugged, unprogrammed, unleashed -- there's something here to provoke and delight everyone", declared Susan Larson (New Orleans Times-Picayne). "We need to hear these voices from the Corpse". More dark and light amusements calculated to assault, shock, intrigue and reflect our anxious millennium fill the pages of this second Corpse Reader. A heady invitation to enjoy one's intellectual freedom while it lasts, the volume inscribes central (and edgy) poetic controversies, eulogizes and condemns, realizes and surrealizes, translates and travels across space and time to place us in all those wild worlds visited by the bizarre legion of Corpse correspondents.

Download or read book The Little Magazine in Contemporary America written by Ian Morris and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little magazines have often showcased the best new writing in America. Historically, these idiosyncratic, small-circulation outlets have served the dual functions of representing the avant-garde of literary expression while also helping many emerging writers become established authors. Although changing technology and the increasingly harsh financial realities of publishing over the past three decades would seem to have pushed little magazines to the brink of extinction, their story is far more complicated. In this collection, Ian Morris and Joanne Diaz gather the reflections of twenty-three prominent editors whose little magazines have flourished over the past thirty-five years. Highlighting the creativity and innovation driving this diverse and still vital medium, contributors offer insights into how their publications sometimes succeeded, sometimes reluctantly folded, but mostly how they evolved and persevered. Other topics discussed include the role of little magazines in promoting the work and concerns of minority and women writers, the place of universities in supporting and shaping little magazines, and the online and offline future of these publications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is one of those times, a time choked in the weeds of academic and civilian formalism. To put it mildly, most of what we see in print in North America is unbearably trivial and singularly devoid of courage."--Andrei Codrescu, The Disappearance of the Outside. Known to the general public as a radio commentator on National Public Radio, Romanian-born essayist and poet Andrei Codrescu has developed a variety of voices throughout his career: Transylvanian humorist on NPR, surrealist poet in his many volumes of poetry, academic essayist in his philosophical writings and historical novelist. Taking seemingly everyday events in seemingly mundane places, Codrescu is able to link the random details into a larger whole, leading his readers and listeners to conclusions very different from those they first imagined. This work explores Codrescu's writings and how they are a part of the surrealist tradition. It examines the ways in which his poetry, essays and novels are influenced by his upbringing in Communist Romania and the liberal attitudes he encountered upon moving to the United States, and draws comparisons between Codrescu and other surrealists. An interview with the author is also included.

Download or read book The Corpse Pose written by Erik Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Corpse Pose by Erik Campbell is a collection of poems that chronicles one man's sometimes messy, simultaneously candid and sardonic (and consequentially human) meanderings from the jungles of Papua, Indonesia to the deserts of Phoenix, Arizona, from a 15-year marriage to infidelity and divorce, from answers to errors in a quasi-narrative that is both redemptive and destructive. In poems that adroitly juxtapose contemporary Western society with historical and literary figures, the evanescent American culture with that of the East, and through scrutinizing personal relationships against the implicit backdrop of modernity, perceived "progress," and commotion. The poems in The Corpse Pose are a refreshing (and increasingly necessary) break from what Tony Hoagland calls, "the skittery poem of the moment," which so often are merely exercises in mere cleverness as a value. Instead, in language that is accessible, allusive, and forthright without being didactic or reductive, Campbell's poetry does not require that the reader don a decoder ring to apprehend it. Even in his most ostensibly self-referential poems Campbell renders his felt experience in ways that are permeable and consequential to the reader. Readers of Claudia Emerson and Stephen Dunn will find a comfort in these poems that don't shy away from "meaning," written in a voice that is trying to speak to the reader crucially"--

Download or read book Thrown in the Throat written by Benjamin Garcia and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An unabashed celebration of complexity in queerness and gender, an arresting snapshot of survival and a triumphant reclamation of language.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review) “Tongues make mistakes / and mistakes / make languages.” And Benjamin Garcia makes a stunning debut with Thrown in the Throat. In a sex-positive incantation that retextures what it is to write a queer life amidst troubled times, Garcia writes boldly of citizenship, family, and Adam Rippon’s butt. Detailing a childhood spent undocumented, one speaker recalls nights when “because we cannot sleep / we dream with open eyes.” Garcia delves with both English and Spanish into how one survives a country’s long love affair with anti-immigrant cruelty. Rendering a family working to the very end to hold each other, he writes the kind of family you both survive and survive with. With language that arrives equal parts regal and raucous, Thrown in the Throat shines brilliant with sweat and an iridescent voice. “Sometimes even a diamond was once alive” writes Garcia in a collection that National Poetry Series judge Kazim Ali says “has deadly superpowers.” And indeed these poems arrive to our hands through touch-me-nots and the slight cruelty of mothers, through closets both real and metaphorical. These are poems complex, unabashed, and needed as survival. Garcia’s debut is nothing less than exactly the ode our history and present and our future call for: brash and unmistakably alive. “Angry, tender, and resounding with the speech of flowers, birds, and diamonds, every syllable carries a glorious charge.” —The Boston Globe, “Best Books of 2020” “Electrifying . . . explores unrepentant sexual desire, interrogates fraught familial relationships, and examines our troubled cultural moment.” —Lambda Literary

Download or read book The Poetry Lesson written by Andrei Codrescu and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intro to Poetry Writing is always like this: a long labor, a breech birth, or, obversely, mining in the dark. You take healthy young Americans used to sunshine (aided sometimes by Xanax and Adderall), you blindfold them and lead them by the hand into a labyrinth made from bones. Then you tell them their assignment: 'Find the Grail. You have a New York minute to get it.'"--The Poetry Lesson The Poetry Lesson is a hilarious account of the first day of a creative writing course taught by a "typical fin-de-siècle salaried beatnik"--one with an antic imagination, an outsized personality and libido, and an endless store of entertaining literary anecdotes, reliable or otherwise. Neither a novel nor a memoir but mimicking aspects of each, The Poetry Lesson is pure Andrei Codrescu: irreverent, unconventional, brilliant, and always funny. Codrescu takes readers into the strange classroom and even stranger mind of a poet and English professor on the eve of retirement as he begins to teach his final semester of Intro to Poetry Writing. As he introduces his students to THE TOOLS OF POETRY (a list that includes a goatskin dream notebook, hypnosis, and cable TV) and THE TEN MUSES OF POETRY (mishearing, misunderstanding, mistranslating . . . ), and assigns each of them a tutelary "Ghost-Companion" poet, the teacher recalls wild tales from his coming of age as a poet in the 1960s and 1970s, even as he speculates about the lives and poetic and sexual potential of his twenty-first-century students. From arguing that Allen Ginsberg wasn't actually gay to telling about the time William Burroughs's funeral procession stopped at McDonald's, The Poetry Lesson is a thoroughly entertaining portrait of an inimitable poet, teacher, and storyteller.
