Download or read book Rough Breathing written by Harry Gilonis and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over three decades Harry Gilonis's poetry has milled cheerfully in the literary avant-garde: Rough Breathing is the first substantial gathering of his poems. Most previously appeared in small-press publications or little magazines on both sides of the Atlantic; some are published here for the first time. Gilonis's work has a light, lucid beauty underpinned by formal and procedural invention, with lyrics written from love and landscape as well as poems made from the innards of language. There is collaged bird-song, experimental versioning from the ancient Chinese and text written by a 'bot'. Borders between 'original' and 'translation' are straddled, or blurred, in intriguing and innovative ways. Objectivist after the fact, party without nostalgia to the British Poetry Revival, cognisant of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, Gilonis's poems are aware of their shape on the page and the sound they make as they go past the ear. They insist on being themselves as fully and openly as possible. The versatility and range of Rough Breathing, its use of processes, transparent or opaque, make it - besides being a fine collection - a radical pattern-book to challenge teachers and students alike. An Introduction by Philip Terry offers biographical and critical context. 'What becomes increasingly clear as one reads,' Terry writes, 'is that this is a body of work of the highest ambition, and highest order.'

Download or read book Quiet Music of Words written by Richard Caddel and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Studies. This lengthy interview with Richard Caddel was republished by West House to coincide with their publication of his selected poetry of the last thirty years, MAGPIE WORDS. He speaks at some length about Basil Bunting and the post-war regional poetry scene in the north of Britain, but also about more current and international issues: "To me, the "open" part of open-field poetry is again an invitation to the reader, you out there in the dinghy, to participate - without that it's a sterile pulpit-craft which I want none of. Olson's magnificent sprawl is one way of doing it, but there are others - Harwood's fragmentary structures and textual gaps, for instance, Raworth's non-stop dovetailing of materials and so on.

Download or read book Memnoir written by Joan Retallack and published by Post Apollo Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. MEMNOIR is a high-speed chase through intersections of chance and consciousness in the "experience of experiencing" our lives. Movies and memory swap visceral/visual thrill with mathematics and philosophy as Retallack plays with our reliance on symbols and cultural frames of reference to get "to the point" of a given moment. "Joan Retallack's marvelous Memnoir is so much more than what one can say about it. The unforgettable words she offers look back on 'one of those periods when life seems superficially friendly' or is this the 'hot majestic interlude' of a film version of the same?"--John Ashbery.

Download or read book Writing in the Dark written by Richard Caddel and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Richard Caddel began WRITING IN THE DARK after he was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1999; he regarded the series as ongoing, to be "finished" only by his death, which came in April 2003. The poems are an extended meditation on the many connotations of darkness and were originally drafted literally "in the dark," using a hand-held Psion with a backlit screen, in England and Japan. The book is a companion volume to his selected poems, MAGPIE WORDS, published in 2002 and also available from SPD. 'Caddel continually finds the right way to say what he needs to say. Each form serves its occasion. Each occasion matters to Caddel, and subsequently to us" --Martin Corless-Smith.

Download or read book Other written by Richard Caddel and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most significant US anthology of innovative poetries from the UK and Ireland in over 25 years. When most Americans think of contemporary British poetry, they think of such mainstream poets as Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin, and Geoffrey Hill. Yet there is a vibrant, diverse alternative poetry movement in the UK, inspired in large measure by the work of such significant mentors as Basil Bunting and J. H. Prynne. There is growing interest in this work in the United States - as alternative American poetries express increasingly transnational concerns - and yet almost none of it is available here. OTHER is a highly focused anthology bringing together several important strands of English-language poetry that are not otherwise so readily accessible. It includes work by 55 poets, among them Cris Cheek, Brian Coffey, Fred d'Aguiar, Allen Fisher, Ulli Freer, Randolph Healy, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Wendy Mulford, Tom Raworth, Denise Riley, Catherine Walsh; a critical introduction addressing such topics as the interaction of British and American poetic traditions; and brief biographical and bibliographical notes on each poet.

Download or read book Red Car Goes by written by Jack Collom and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Collom rejects the notion that a distinction exists between the quotidian and the poetic. His poems assert that poetry is everywhere. But to find poetry everywhere means that one incessantly engages the world at the poetic level. The result is a dance between fierce notion and ceilingless song. For writers of at least three generations, Collom's poetry and poetices have set the standard for the appreciation of earthly experience in elemental, quick-tempo'd language. Contains poems chosen by: Reed Bye, Clark Coolidge, Larry Fagin, Merrill Gilfillan, Lyn Hejinian, and Jack Collom. Collom has authored 17 small press poetry books, including COLORS BORN OF SHADOW and THE TASK.

There is an obstinately tender patience in these poems, a care that hears the sounds of words still as the fact of human voices. In a world of increasing abstraction, such solidness is a great and generous blessing-Robert Creeley. It is Caddel's ability to see the infinite in lakes and woods and/ maggots in apples/ small blue// flower by the/ path (Baltic Coast VI: Continuous Present), coupled with his care and subtlety in drawing it out, that give the poems in LARKSONG SIGNAL their own particular luminosity. LARKSONG SIGNAL is Richard Caddel's third major collection, following SWEET CICELY and UNCERTAIN TIME. He is the founder of Pig Press and is Co-Director of the Basil Bunting Poetry Centre at the University of Durham.
