Now, for the first time, this diverse group of more than 80 poets comes together in one book to celebrate bissett's life and work. radiant danse uv being is an essential text for anyone interested in the work of bill bissett--and in Canadian literature itself.

Reviews "Stephen Roxborough, combination sardonic intellectual, Lucille Ball and Peter Pan east of Eden, is one of the finest poets working today. His new collection exposes the bright, quirky eyes and ears of a visual artist with a mastery of words. A remarkable book. Look for him in the holding cell for the maximally aware." Bart Baxter MTV Poetry Slam Winner, Seattle Poet Populist "In the form of postmodern Buddhist meditations or mantras, these poems are aboutsimple human happiness. Created out of a pop sensibility and in a pop modality, they're fashioned to free minds and shuffle off some of the weight of contemporary life. They cheerfully bend and blend the clich?'s and methods of contemporary consumer culture, but send it in a fresh direction. The pleasures here are wise and simple." Jamie Reid poet, activist, publisher, co-founder of TISH "Rox has a light touch while reaching deeply inside what makes the universe tick, gentle while grappling with the dead ends of Today. This book knocks on your door and wants tocome in and make you laugh and sigh and think." David Ossman author, actor, director, member of Firesign Theater "Lounging on the surface of domesticity, luminosity and drunken beauty, "This Wonderful Perpetual Beautiful, serves as a guidebook through life, language and the pursuit of ecstasis. Everyday life transformed through a lexicon steeped in the elegance of cascading desire, where a vibrating present is continually re-invented."

Download or read book In Defiance of Painting written by Christine Poggi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of collage by Picasso and Braque in 1912 proved to be a dramatic turning point in the development of Cubism and Futurism and ultimately one of the most significant innovations in twentieth-century art. Collage has traditionally been viewed as a new expression of modernism, one allied with modernism's search for purity of means, anti-illusionism, unity, and autonomy of form. This book - the first comprehensive study of collage and its relation to modernism - challenges this view. Christine Poggi argues that collage did not become a new language of modernism but a new language with which to critique modernism. She focuses on the ways Cubist collage - and the Futurist multimedia work that was inspired by it - undermined prevailing notions of material and stylistic unity, subverted the role of the frame and pictorial ground, and brought the languages of high and low culture into a new relationship of exchange.

Download or read book Lady Godiva and Me written by Liam Guilar and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sequence of poems about the City of Coventry, moving from the historical Godgifu and her husband Earl Leofric, via the legend of Godiva to the present day. From reviews of the first edition: 'Guilar has brought together a cast of characters that speak out of history and from the present time, real people who live and breathe with engaging frankness. They are varied in personality, held here in small jewels of poetry that sparkle with wit and strength. These are people worth meeting'. Joanna M. Weston Poetryreview Ca. 'I am impressed by the writing, which demands full and careful attention. To read these poems, the reader must inhabit the world, or the voices, of the writing; must engage with the rhythms, and the spare poetic structures. The poems are conversational, in the sense that they are made to be read aloud as well as on the page; but their sometimes declaratory structures are tight and taut without being confining'. Bronwyn Levy Review of Lady Godiva and Me. Text
