<b>'</b>We are putting the world on notice: we are here; we are writing; and we want your attention. If you’re not willing to give us your attention, then we will take it from you. We will be heard. Are you listening?’ – from the Guerrilla Poetry Manifesto

How do we create a poetic form that increases the species-diversity of a habitat? How can we prompt a whole city to read poetry? How do we place poetry at the heart of what we do and who we <span style="text-align: center;">are? In this guest lecture, the first Alliance Professor of Writing David Morley presents examples and challenges that will surprise and delight. From poetry-bombing a clothes store to poetry-bombing a city, from blending poems into the life-cycle of birds to swimming a poem along a river, David’s own creations are imbued with a high idea content about the dynamics of ecology (he is a trained zoologist as well as a poet). His conceptual works are created from the artistic fusion of poetic and sculptural elements with those of the natural landscape. John Clare declared that he ‘found the p\oems in fields and only wrote them down’. Morley, the poetic biographer of Clare in </span><i style="text-align: center;">The Gypsy and the Poet</i><span style="text-align: center;"> (Carcanet, 2013), takes this process a step sideways by creating poems and folding them back into the natural world. </span><br />

<b>Biography </b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b>David Morley was trained as an ecologist and carried out a substantial research project on acid rain before Margaret Thatcher shut down his laboratory. Fortunately David was also writing poetry and won an Eric Gregory Award a few months after losing his job. Morley’s poetry collections include <i>The Gypsy and the Poet</i> (Carcanet, 2013), a PBS Recommendation, and <i>Biographies of Birds and Flowers: Selected Poems</i> (Carcanet, 2014). He published <i>Enchantment </i>(Carcanet 2011), a Sunday Telegraph Book of the Year chosen by Jonathan Bate. <i>The Invisible Kings</i> (Carcanet, 2007) was a PBS Recommendation and TLS Book of the Year chosen by Les Murray. He writes for <i>The Guardian</i> and <i>Poetry Review</i>. He was one of the judges of the 2012 T.S. Eliot Prize and is judging the 2013 Foyle Young Poets of the Year. He has won fourteen writing awards and is Professor of Writing at Warwick University and Alliance Chair of Writing at Monash University. </div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 13px;">Jaap Blonk is one of the world’s leading performers and practitioners of sound poetry, exploring the common ground between poetry and music without abandoning the semantics of language. </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 13px;">His compositions and performances make use of words and phonetic snippets, as well as clicks, hisses, and other vocal manipulations. As a vocalist, Blonk is unique for his powerful stage presence and almost childlike freedom of improvisation, combined with a keen grasp of structure. </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 13px;">His celebrated renditions of works by Dadaist pioneers such as Hugo Ball, as well as other major works of sound art including those of the Fluxus movement, have been presented throughout the world. One of his earliest influences was Kurt Schwitters, whose</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 13px;"> <i>Ursonate</i> he first heard in 1979; he memorized the entire work, and has recited portions of the piece hundreds of times. He works as a solo performer, in collaboration with </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 13px;">avant garde musicians such as John Tchicai, Tristan Honsiger, and Mats Gustafsson, and with his own ensembles Splinks and BRAAXTAAL. This is his first visit to Australia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 12px;">“Jaap Blonk is a remarkable self-taught composer, performer, visual artist and poet. To see him on-stage is to be dumb-struck at first by the seeming oddity of his work – the presentation of abstract vocal sounds and extraordinary facial and bodily gyrations; if one can get past that, one marvels at the sheer inventiveness of his art. He is funny, serious and virtuosic at the same time. He is part sound poet, part sound technology artist, part experimental theatre performer, and he uses improvisation within a structure, or to shape the structure, in many of these modes. He takes his voice and body far beyond the normal range of expression which the rest of us use in daily communication.” –</span><i style="font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 12px;"> Boulderpavement</i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745977134297141733.post-85827835466617182362012-12-17T19:32:00.001-08:002012-12-17T19:32:37.239-08:00Anthology of Monash Student Poems 2012Please find below links to poems by Monash ECPS undergraduate students from this year's creative writing classes:<br />

Chris Mann’s poetry is complicated to the point of breathlessness. When engaging with a Mann poem for the first time it is as if one has suddenly become dyslexic: the words are there, but their construction resists meaning. The complex façade of a Chris Mann poem is intimidating for any reader, so his readership is limited almost exclusively to the domain of the international avant-garde - more exclusively, to an international community of experimental composers.</div>

This seminar will provide a point of entry into Mann’s work, and his exploration of cybernetics, linguistics, poetics and composition. Then comes the revelation: to read Chris Mann requires a new conception of what reading can be - as performance.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">To celebrate the publication of her long-awaited <em>New and Selected Poems</em> (Giramondo 2011), Gig Ryan will be reading from and discussing her poetry. Her most recent book, also published in the UK, collects work from over three decades, and has been shortlisted for both the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal and the Prime Minister's Literary Awards.</span></h3>

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Gig Ryan is the author of six previous volumes: <em>The Division of Anger</em> (1981), <em>Manners of an Astronaut </em>(1984), <em>The Last Interior</em> (1986), <em>Excavation</em> (1990), <em>Pure and Applied</em> (1998), and <em>Heroic Money</em> (2001). She has been awarded the C.J. Dennis Prize for Poetry in 1999, and the FAW Anne Elder Poetry Award.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
As the critic Owen Richardson has written, her widely anthologised and influential poetry is,</div>
<blockquote style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<em>‘the product of a thoroughgoing research into language where the materials, the data, are displayed, denaturalised: skidding jolting precipitate diction, counterpoints of stateliness and trashiness kept from incoherence by tightly organised sound and rhythmic systems, synaesthesia, catachresis, collage — it’s all absolutely modern….she may even have invented or at any rate done the best R&D on a whole new affect, elegiac sarcasm.’</em></blockquote>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Gig Ryan has been the poetry editor of The Age since 1998; she also works as freelance reviewer, and has written extended articles on Les Murray, Judith Wright, and Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer.<br />

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Monday August 6, 3pm, Menzies N702 (Monash, Clayton)</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />
Theodor Adorno's most famous statement of literary criticism is his assertion that "[t]o write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric". But he also said that silence is not an option: "literature must...not surrender to cynicism merely by existing after Auschwitz". It is argued that the coherently strange/strangely coherent poetry of John Forbes, under Adornian analysis, embodies and rises above this dilemma, albeit negatively. Each lyrical fabrication is a "tailored lightsail" designed to carry the possibility of literature through to a world - hopefully waiting - in which the possibility of a recurrence of Auschwitz has been dissolved.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />
Either that, or we will "sit and write & / smoke, thumbing through Adorno like New Idea".</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745977134297141733.post-44253477161988777562012-07-30T04:09:00.000-07:002012-07-30T04:09:49.072-07:00Papers from Ken Bolton Day<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;">Pavlina Radia, “Formulated Flesh: The Inhuman Appetite of Modernist Poetics”</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;">Focusing primarily on the poetry of T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, and Djuna Barnes, this paper explores the ways in which modernist poetry and other modernist art forms rely on the symbolic flaying of the body to comment on the artistic process of creation as a moment of renewal and re-invention. Such a process, as T.S. Eliot has argued, requires an elimination of the poet’s subjectivity in order to bring forth the notion of poesisas “a shred of platinum” or a disciplined intensity which I call the “formulated flesh.” The paper then suggests that such formulations not only drive the experimental aesthetic of modernist poetics, but also point to its appetite for movement and multiplicity whereby time becomes space, weight a lightness of being, form an inhuman flesh.</span></div>

How can writers write sensitively about other cultures, especially as an outsider? And how can a publisher best promote works that don’t always present a positive view of Australia and the West, or indeed other countries? He will also discuss the parallels with independent publishing in the US; the varieties of writing that pass his desk every day, the changing outlook for publishing, and the opportunities of the Australian marketplace.</span></div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br />
