New Children's book by Lindsann

Boo-Boo-Boo-BooBah! A Baby Babble Book – Olchar E. Lindsann

Posted on August 2, 2020 by monoclelash

Here is the first mOnocle-Lash children’s book, kicking off our new children’s sub-imprint trIcycle-Smash anti-Press, which will feature books by and/or for the youngest members of the community. Drawing on Lindsann’s 20-year engagement with sound poetry, on one hand this is a book of visual/phonetic poetry scores; on the other hand, it is carefully designed to help babies develop delightful pre-reading relationships with letters, sounds, and words to provide a springboard for later learning – to ease into reading without even noticing. Kid-tested by several families in the Post-Neo orbit over the last two years!
Kids know: Funny noises are fun to make. Better yet, babies can make them NOW – even before they can talk! The noises here are also practice for speaking later. The pictures of Things are practice for understanding words, names, and letters. The pictures of the Sounds (that is, the letters) are practice for reading later. Each page has three little poem-songs to sing with the little one. There’s no wrong way to make these sounds.
Sample pages:

Poems, Translations & Transductions in Otoliths #58

I'm proud to be a part of the new issue of Otoliths, one of my favourite journals out there, along with dozens of provocative poets – my contribution to this issue is a diverse set: some short poems, a passage from the forthcoming "Arthur Dies" book, translations/transorthographications of Albert-Birot Simultaneous Poem scores, and a set of transductions of Judith Gautier translations of Chinese poets.

Rêvenance is the flagship journal of the Revenant Editions series, dedicated to the forgotten or untold histories of 19th Century avant-garde and other countercultures.

"Topia Tat" performed on Radio Klebnikov

I'm honoured to have had my poem "Topia Tat" performed/incorporated (twice-and-a-half) into this week's episode of Radio Klebnikov! My text comes in around the 31-minute mark til around 36 minutes, but the episode is an integral stream of multilingual avant-garde sound in which things drift, flow together and apart, and I urge you to take the whole experience in...

Here is the written programme for the episode, containing the text.

Thanks to Dirk Vekemans et. al. for this haunting embodiment/s of that text!
