Download or read book Brambu Drezi written by Jake Berry and published by Station Hill Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BRAMBU DEZI is a deep reading of late twentieth-century mind. Along with Black Mountain poetry, Beat poetry is one of its antecedents, and Beat poet John Wieners might well have been prophesying this poem when he wrote, "Poetry is a trance of make-believe...a condition of gradual loss / of reality until there's only left / this shattering of the world." Not to know Berry's work is to miss something essential and stunningly beautiful about the late 20th Century, what has been called a "century of horror," yet Berry, in this great visionary work, mirrors this millennium not only as an end but a beginning.
Download or read book Another South written by Bill Lavender and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathers the best work of flourishing but often-neglected avant-garde southern poets Another South is an anthology of poetry from contemporary southern writers who are working in forms that are radical, innovative, and visionary. Highly experimental and challenging in nature, the poetry in this volume, with its syntactical disjunctions, formal revolutions, and typographic playfulness, represents the direction of a new breed of southern writing that is at once universal in its appeal and regional in its flavor. Focusing on poets currently residing in the South, the anthology includes both emerging and established voices in the national and international literary world. From the invocations of Andy Young’s “Vodou Headwashing Ceremony” to the blues-informed poems of Lorenzo Thomas and Honorée Jeffers, from the different voicings of John Lowther and Kalamu ya Salaam to the visual, multi-genre art of Jake Berry, David Thomas Roberts, and Bob Grumman, the poetry in Another South is rich in variety and enthusiastic in its explorations of new ways to embody place and time. These writers have made the South lush with a poetic avant-garde all its own, not only redefining southern identity and voice but also offering new models of what is possible universally through the medium of poetry. Hank Lazer’s introductory essay about “Kudzu textuality” contextualizes the work by these contemporary innovators. Like the uncontrollable runaway vine that entwines the southern landscape, their poems are hyperfertile, stretching their roots and shoots relentlessly, at once destructive and regenerative. In making a radical departure from nostalgic southern literary voices, these poems of polyvocal abundance are closer in spirit to "speaking in tongues" or apocalyptic southern folk art—primitive, astonishing, and mystic.
Download or read book Mailer Leaves Ham written by John M. Bennett and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry." BRAMBU DRESI, BOOK TWO is a collection of expanded visions that uses the full arsenal of techniques available to the writer - heightened syntactic experimentation, graphic imagery of various kinds, typographic expression beyond the traditional line, morphological invention, implied oralization, and on and on. Jake Berry places language under a tremendous pressure, opening up the mythic realm of the gods driven out of our technological culture. Through his agency, they have returned in all their irritating opacity, breath-taking brilliance, raw power, and subtlety, speaking sometimes in a small voice, at others obliterating the reader's merely human point of view altogether with the sheer force of their presence. Here the author's mastery of the materials of his craft is completely subsumed in the service of this unusual vocation, to allow the world's divinities to resume their central place on the scientifically impoverished stage of our denatured and deadened existence. This book is simultaneously utterly unique and full of ancient familiar beings"-Harry Polkinhorn.

Download or read book A Dictionary of the Avant Gardes written by Richard Kostelanetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five years after the publication of A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes, the distinguished critic and arts historian Richard Kostelanetz returns to his favorite subject for a third edition. Rewriting earlier entries, adding hundreds of new ones, Kostelanetz provides intelligence and information unavailable anywhere else, no less in print than online, about a wealth of subjects and individuals. Focused upon what is truly innovative and excellent, he ranges widely with insight and surprise, including appreciations of artistic athletes such as Muhammad Ali, Johan Cruyff, and the Harlem Globetrotters and such collective creations as Las Vegas and his native New York City. Continuing the traditions of cheeky high-style Dictionarysts, honoring Samuel Johnson and Nicolas Slonimsky (both with individual entries), Kostelanetz offers a "reference book" to be enjoyed not only in bits and chunks, but continuously as one of the dozen books someone would take if they planned to be stranded on a desert isle.
