/ubu Editons :: Spring 2004 Titles
http://ubu.com/ubu
--------------------------------------
This year's titles range from the visually sophisticated Concrete poetry of
Gustave Morin, a native of Windsor who spent 10 years on his "novel" A Penny
Dreadful, to an obscure volume of satirical translations of Baudelaire by
the English poet Nicholas Moore, from the experiments in frame and format
that Caroline Bergvall and designer Marit Meunzberg explore in their daring
resetting of the poet's Eclat, to the equally daring, if entirely
unscrupulous, logorrhea that is the 130 pages of another "novel," Name, by
Toadex Hobogrammathon.
The big news this year might be the introduction of color into the pantheon
of effects being used in our e-books: both Bergvall's Eclat and my own Alpha
Betty's Chronicles rely heavily on it, in ways that would have been
unsuitable to html and impossibly expensive to print in a book. Likewise,
the volumes by Morin and Lytle Shaw - two of his uniquely low-tech Shark
chapbooks - are primarily graphic works, while the titles by Craig Dworkin,
Robert Fitterman and Larry Price attempt to re-conceptualize the page of an
Adobe Acrobat file as a middle-space that ironizes the permanence of type
(Dworkin's use of Courier fonts) or digital flow (Fitterman's box-like
containers) as well as the "writing on the wall" soixante-huitard-style
(Price's poster-style typography).
Of the republications, we are happy to present the final section of Ron
Silliman's The Age of Huts, The Chinese Notebook, probably the most
influential of his early books outside of Kejtak, two small works by the
increasingly-prized Jean Day, whose 1998 Atelos volume, The Literal World,
woke so many up to her understated talents. Robert Kelly's quasi-fiction -
yes, yet another "novel" - called The Cruise of the Pnyx has long been one
of my favorites of his, but has never appeared in another book, nor has the
original Station Hill edition of 1979 been republished.
New writers include the playwright Madelyn Kent, whose Shufu plays - part
Butoh, part Richard Maxwell-like deadpan, with a touch of Clark Coolidge --
are bound to become recognized as innovative theater, and Aaron Kunin, who
is becoming known in New York and elsewhere as a writer of uncommon
intelligence and tremendous technical precision. The English poet Ira
Lightman drops in on the series like a lightning bolt, spreading his art in
a sort of spirit of personal renaissance, while Barbara Cole's Foxy Moron -
a text I see as existing somewhere between poetry and drama if only because
she reads it so well in public - strikes a little lower, not so much toward
"renaissance" as sexual catharsis, over and over again.
Lastly, we are especially happy to have Deanna Ferguson's long-awaited
follow-up collection to her 1993 book The Relative Minor (which appears as a
reprint in last year's series). Several of the poems in Rough Bush have
already played parts in some of the signal poetics statements of the
nineties; it's good to finally have such a stash of Ferguson's recent
writings in one place.
Enjoy!

Well, the subject line says it all... Michael's a great and funny poet,
Google him at will and find out!
SEGUE READING SERIES
AT THE BOWERY POETRY CLUB
Winter / Spring 2004
http://www.bowerypoetry.com/
308 BOWERY, JUST NORTH OF HOUSTON
SATURDAYS FROM 4 - 6 PM
$5 admission goes to support the readers
MARCH 13
BRIAN KIM STEFANS and MICHAEL GIZZI
Brian Kim Stefans' latest book is Fashionable Noise: On Digital Poetics. His
website is www.arras.net. He's recently taken up playwriting and will
premiere a short piece at Chashama in February.
Michael Gizzi moved to Providence last summer. His most recent book is My
Terza Rima (The Figures). He will read from his latest ms. Facing Life.
Raymond Hernandez {Bass Guitar and Vocals} has been the bass player for
Knight Riders since March of 2000. He has been involved in the world of live
music for 30 years. With God's help, at a very young age, he taught himself
to play guitar and sing. He has been a member of the choir at St. Andrew's
Catholic Church in Channelview, TX for 25 years and is very much involved in
several other church organizations. Before joining Knight Riders, he
operated the band Southern Justice for nearly 4 years. In November of 1999,
Raymond had a challenge slap him in the face when he severed the end of his
index finger with a circular saw. In less than a week, he managed to create
new ways to play his chords and fought through the pain so that he would not
miss a gig. Today, his finger is of no challenge to his performance. He
entertains any and every crowd no matter how small or large and still makes
it to church every Sunday.
(He won't be appearing at this reading.)

I'm performing with Douglas Dunn!
Sorry to name drop in the subject line but quickie last minute
self-promotion needs all the charge it can get.
I'm performing tomorrow, Sunday, with writer Melissa Ragona (we're doing
"soundscape") and dancers Eric Bradley, Douglas Dunn, and Nicholas Leichter.
They must think we're going to do something brilliant because we're last on
the bill!
Lots of great writers and dancers on the bill -- come out for some
good-spirited New York-style performance whatchamacallit! (Boston won't
clinch it Sunday, don't worry.)
