Update of Sorts

The following is nicked from the mOnocle-Lash blog, but it doesn't hurt to throw it up here too as it's only partially publishing-bound. There are further updates there.

Until I have a home and full access to my files, archives, materials, workstation etc. mOnocle-Lash is still in half-gear. But things ARE moving, and here's a scattered and meandering update in-between 'official' website news posts, partly on current and future projects, partly on potential directions and focuses for mOnocle-Lash:


The Jeunes-France Bouzingo

Here, I shall be brief, for fear of being far too long-winded. Suffice to say that things procede swimmingly, as one can see by going HERE. This new Jeunes-France/Bouzingo website is not quite ready for official launch, but since this blog has only two regular readers, I doubt it will hurt to mention it here.


OSU Avant Writing Symposium

From Aug. 19-21, Ohio State University hosted one of the largest gatherings of visual poets, performance writers, avant-gardists, mail artists, and theorists, critics, and archivists of experimental writing in years, drawing attendees from across the US, Canada, Cuba, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Spain, and elsewhere. The symposium included over 40 lectures and performances (12 hours a day!) in three languages, several exhibitions, and various other activities.

A Post-Neo/Collab Fest delegation drove up from Roanoke, including Olchar Lindsann, Warren Fry, Jim Leftwich, Sue Leftwich, and Aaron Bensen; in Columbus we met up with Ohio Post-Neos Bela b. Grimm (our host), Imogene Engine, Aaron Andrews, and Tomislav Butkovic in from New Jersey for quite a strong Post-Neo showing. We were able to see old friends again, meet long-time ocllaborators for the first time, and begin new relationships. I'll not go into detail or I'll never finish, but among a great many stimulating presentations were Fluxus actions by Keith Buchholz and Reed Altemus, a very thought-provoking presentation by Lizabel Mónica on underground literary activity in Cuba (more below), some provocative questions regarding the efficacy of the avant-garde by William James Austin, a performance by the Be Blank Consort, several presentations on digital writing in South America, a fascinating and spirited presentation by Michael Peters of materials relating to Fleury Colon donated to the OSU Archive, superb performance-lectures by Geof Huth, Martin Gubins, and mIEKAL aND, a joint reading in memory of Thomas L. Taylor, a wonderful mail art show organised by C. Mehrl Bennett, Collab Fest organised by Jim Leftwich, also a lecture and performances by myself--and much, much more.

In addition, and more on-topic for this particular blog, was a store with stalls of material from 15 or 20 micro-presses focusing on experimental writing, including mOnocle-Lash. In addition to transactions carried on here, there was a large amount of direct trading among us. It was wonderful to see so much variety both in content and in publishing approach, especially as print becomes increasingly rare in micropress publishing. These exchanges include Reed Altemus' Tonerworks, mIEKAL aND's Xexoxial, Endwar's IZEN, Tom Cassidy's Musical Comedy Editions, Crag Hill's Meritage Press, and of course John Bennett's Luna Bisonte. There was much more that I have yet to check out. I've added links on the mOnocle-Lash webpage to some of these presses (as well as to some additional online presses), and plan to distribute catalogs of of some who do not have webpages along with outgoing packets.

mOnocle-Lash publications available there included the journals Synapse 4 and BARM 1; the anthology Lung Crackle; Imogene Engine's The Iuk Kide; b.b. Grimm & O.Lindsann's The Myopic Deathray; David Beris Edward's Mr. Rutabega & the Clockwork Mince; Megan Blafas' DadMama Baroness Paper Dolls; my The Ecstatic Nerve, Toward a Breathing Text, Ananchronism as Dissent, and Feral Pool; and the mOnocle-Lash catalog.



Some Thoughts on What's Next

As one would hope, I went into the symposium with certain thoughts in the back of my mind, and emerged with them at the front. The participation of many writers from Spanish-speaking countries--and in particular the presentation by Lizabel Mónica of Desliz on Cuban dissenting literature, conversations with her later in the weekend, and the accompanying packets of work and documentation that she brought along--helped to bring into focus a concern that I have had for some time, already made pointed by my interaction with Gleb Kolomiets' Slova in Russia and the linguistic and traditional complications that make up the fabric of mOnocle-Lash's own Bouzingo project. This concern is the isolation of the anglophone avant-garde.

I have for some time become increasingly impatient with the ethical and political complacency of marginal creative communities--what I would like to consider avant-gardes. My attempts both to think my own way out of this impasse and to goad the milieus with with I engage to more rigorous self-reflection and action in this regard are complex and have met with widely varying degrees of success so far. These attempts repeatedly pose the questions: How can we define, and then achieve efficacy? What must my own generation--those of us now entering our intellectual maturity and faced with a field of possible ways forward--achieve in order to re/establish a groundwork from which the avant-garde can become a social force rather than a literary-artistic genre? What must we address, and how?

These questions have been sharpened and recontextualized through my engagement with Gleb's Slova project and the group of writers, performers, and intellectuals with whose work I am slowly becoming familiar through it. As I interact further with communities across languages, in political situations vastly different from my own--realising along the way how deeply isolated my own Anglophone conception of the avant-garde community and tradition has become, and how difficult it is to overcome this limitation in the absence of adequate translation--this line of questioning solicits further and even more uncomfortable questions:

What can be the role of a Western, Euro-American Avant-Garde, especially an Anglophone avant-garde, which is in the final analysis an avant-garde of the undeserving elite? Of the only such communities who can afford to be "apolitical", or to choose to be otherwise, who have the privilege to risk complacence? To what extent does the Anglophone avant-garde reproduce within itself, unconsciously and hypocritically, the isolationism and nationalism of the society it wishes to subvert, an isolationism that takes the form of a blindness and an obliviousness to its own linguistic and political situation that is only possible when one speaks the language that is, after all, the literary equivalent of the Dollar, by which every other linguistic and literary currency is oriented and, all too often, devalued?

What are our responsibilities, and to whom? What are our unique resources, and how might they best be utilized in service of a vision of a truly global and transnational avant-garde?

And, most pointedly to the purpose of this particular blog, what role ought mOnocle-Lash to play in asking and then answering these questions, and providing platforms for response?

I am groping toward answers to the initial questions posed here, or more precisely toward a platform through which these questions might be asked. The most obvious and immediate answer is an increase of translated texts in Synapse and other venues; the practical issue of getting texts translated can come largely through increased dialogue and involvement with the communities themselves from which texts originate, and some hurdles might be overcome via the experiments in collaborative translation being carried out via the Bouzingo project.

But beyond this, platforms of exchange must be established through which these questions can be asked and answered within an international context. Here again I find excellent models in Slova (and the associated decentralized press Mycelium) and Desliz, both of them multifaceted projects, network-nodes whose focus is on facilitating exchange on local/national levels and on international/transnational levels simultaneously, both of them establishing a loose centre via journals that bring together poetic, artistic, and theoretical work from an array of nations and, to the extent possible, languages.

Desliz in particular uses the internet to host this wide range of discourse, creative work, documentation, announcements, calls for entries, etc and as the most effective way (despite its illegality in Cuba) to slip through national borders. Lizabel in fact upbraided me for this reason for having so little of the mOnocle-Lash material in pdf form. (I am in the long, slow process of digitizing--new publications will almost all appear simultaneously in both forms.) This kind of thing must be a long-term goal, but it is long-term.

In the meantime, there is at least one way in which the pervasiveness English can be turned against itself; as the language most commonly translated into and out of, it can serve as a kind of way-station of translation. A text translated from Russian to English may stand a better chance, on the underground level in which we work and if directed toward this purpose, of ending up in Spanish. Etc. etc. The same goes for discourse in general, including strategic exchange.

The most recent issue of Gleb's Slova includes a number of English texts translated into Russian, including SPART/Post-Neo's Nobody Go Anywhere Essays, and a number of Russian texts rendered into English. He's sent me a text detailing the current conditions of micropress and small press activity in Russia, which I'm waiting for an opportunity to publish. Lizabel's presentation last weekend, also translated, covers analogous territory. In both cases I have discussed potential translation/publication/distribution of work by others in their communities.

While I'd initially conceived of carrying these ideas out primarily in Synapse--and certainly there will be translations and quite possibly untranslated work in future issues--I am moving toward the notion of a separate journal, with an emphasis on expanding dialogue regarding these issues and resolving the challenges that avant-gardes and related communities face in their various contexts, evolving ways of coordinating internationally with an understanding of the very different resources and conditions that face cultural workers everywhere. What such a project might turn into would be decided organically as a result of this conversation.

This is where I am right now. Such a project as outlined above would not be put together until early next year (I still need to find a job, rent an apartment, and help establish an educational co-op this year...) I am on something of a precipice, and welcome ideas.

On the Voicing (em-bodying) of Poetry

Lecture notes/Score for the lecture that I gave at the Marginal Arts Festival in Roanoke, concerning the development from poetic recitation to performance poetry over the course of the 19th century:

INTRO

• Capsule Argument: Poetry has its roots in the oral, to which Performance Poetry is a return.

• BUT it is not the same thing; the fact that it is a return makes it unique.

• Perf. Poetry often talked about as if it burst forth from Futurism/ Dada/ someone specific

• In fact was the terminus in at least a hundred-year development in avant-garde writing.

(this trajectory not definative)

BACK UP-

• -Most systems of writing have their origin in religious and magical practices.
• -Over the course of thousands of years, as writing became more secularized & literacy grew, poetry became increasingly connected in people's minds with a text.
• -This means that readers could re-read poems; things could become more subtle, and did not have to depend upon sound to set them apart.
• Oral Poetry derives from storytelling and/or ritual; Perf. Poetry from reading.

ON RECITATION / DECLAMATION; “reading aloud”

• -Regular part of life from at least the 16th Century onward: in living rooms, taverns, stagecoach, etc
• -Poems still regularly read aloud, but A.) it was an option, & B.) no memorization
• -meter & rhythm act similarly like 'score' elements for both voiced & 'silent' reading
• 18th-19th Centuries: The Lyric: primarily written form (unlike ballad) modeled on speech
• -spoken of as twining of music & language on subtlest level
• -generally personal, introspective in nature: focus on subjectivity.
• -Coleridge, Shelley, & others trained themselves to speak & think extemporaneously in verse, choosing terrain to walk according to verse they hoped to speak
• -Application of declamatory technique to conversation
• As in oral poetry, sound attempts to reinforce (while denaturalizing) subject-matter
• Recitation rhythmic & chant-like, w/variations introduced to infuse lines with emotion and force
• Intro- dream transcription

ex.- COLERIDGE, KUBLA KHAN (1816)

• content and form can be apprehended simultaneously, reinforce each other
• declamation is experienced as hieghtened speech in this way--'natural' rhythms under- or over-riding metric structure

• In the following two generations of Romantics, sound and rhythm kept taking on more prominance;
• rhyme and metric schemes became more complex and virtuosic.

INTERLUDE: Nonsense & Satire

• -Genesis in children's lullabyes etc., heavy rhythm & rhyme for memory & attention when read aloud
• -Benefited from the Romantic freeing of verse-forms & subject matter
• -Emphasis on pure sound & musicality led to use of nonsense words/phonetics
• -By 1840s-50s, a definite tradition of Nonsense verse existed and moved into Satire

ex.- CARROLL, RULES AND REGULATIONS (1845)

• -Hood: Third-Generation Romantic; Punch, etc. directed at Bourgeois audience
• -combines Romantic virtuosity & sensibility of sound with those of traditional ballads and of British comic & nonsense poets (Lear, etc), often infused w/social satire or critique, still reinforced by rhyme & shadows of ballad.

ex.- HOOD, THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS (1844)

• -This poem is quoted in full by Poe in The Poetic Principle several years later, notes tension between nearly absurd scansion and pathetic subject matter.
• -For Poe, most important element of poetry is rhythm; rhythm is addressed primarily through languages/concerns of music and mathematics
• -tension between regular rhythm and repeated meter on one hand, & small anomolies of rhythm and distensions caused by semantic element on the other ('melody')
• -Metric, rhythmic, rhyme & assonance schemes of a poem designed before even choosing a subject.
• -For Poe, the organizing goal of a poem is not narrative, emotional, moral, etc but Phenomenological/phisiological. All decisions in writing a poem derive from their effect.
• -Emphasis in declamation was rhythm, the maintainance of the metric time with rhyme & rhythm acting as reference-point and assonance & internal rhyme as counterpoint

ex.- POE, THE BELLS (1849)

• -Poe had almost no influence on American writing--primary influence was on French Avant- Garde => Symbolism
• -Symbolism attempted to reconcile through intensification poetry's oral-mystical roots with its textual-technical development through intensification:
• a.) return to idea of Language as sacred/magical (developed by Atheists, etc...)
• b.) intensification of opaqueness/ “textness” of poem
• Symbolist poem as object of meditation--rel. Monastic text. meditation, mandala, etc
• To be read, re-read, re-read over years in order to come to grips with
• Principle developer of Symbolist thought => Mallarmé
• -Goal to eliminate what triggered poem, leaving only its traces of thought
• -Intra-& inter- oeuvre Symbolic system
• -Grammatical bivalence
• Jarry: disciple of Mallarmé, author of Ubu

ex.- JARRY, VEGETABLE (1894)

• -instant comprehension of poem impossible-
• -reading aloud is fundamentally different than reading as text
• -when read aloud, becomes a score rather than a text
• -for first time, poem IS something different when being voiced
• Symbolist Declamation:
• -In contrast to object of meditation, the declaimed symbolist poem is ritual/prayer
• -Sometimes presented in intimate settings & soirées, sometimes alongside plays, w/choreographed lighting and trained singers & actors reading
• -hieratic reading style--restrained, subtly musical, measured, without obvious or straightforward emotion
• -text reading the body
• -performers instructed to block out semantic aspect of poem when reading
• -listeners intend to be suspended at the edge of comprehension, feeling the effects of semantics but not actually understanding 'meaning' of poem--NOT 'solving a puzzle'

ex.- JARRY, VEGETABLE (1894)

• -Comp. Mallarmé's performative conversation to Coleridge 'gestures of officiating priest' etc
• -used declamation, whispers, gesture, silence, planned actions, mime as part of lectures
• -When Mallarmé died in 1898, left immense unfinished performance poem called 'The Book'; half burned by executors
• -200 remaining pages--to be unbound in 20 volumes, with repetitions
• -Performance (basic):

In domestic setting with invited guests
Customized shelf with pigeonholes containing volumes
Bell rings, 'operator' enters up aisle between chairs
Takes sheet from random from each, shuffles them
Reads & comments in sequence; shows some to audience, others not.
Leaves abruptly as if finished; but returns after 15 min. with another bell.
Switches volumes around, repeats

• -Final major poem was also published w/discussion as score, and direction for score's interpretation
• -Unlike tightly-woven sonnets, etc., is a treatment of Mallarmé's atheist mysticism, organized around rhythmic alterity of silence & Language
• -Potential field of performance Poetry sketched out by Mallarmé taken up 15 years later, exemplified in different aspects by Schwitters, Hausmann, Huelsenbeck, etc

ex.-MALLARME, A THROW OF THE DICE WILL NEVER ABOLISH CHANCE (1897)

A Heterogenous Update

A few scattered things here to supplement the update to the mOnocle-Lash blog that I"ll be doing later today:

• I plan to get the hell out of Jersey, and the nacreous spillage of New York in general, for good at the end of May. Roanoke, Virginia: brace yourselves...

• On April 16, I'll be participating (along with the rest of NJ PNA) in a Flux-Festival held half inside Printed Matter Bookshop in New York city, half outside on the sidewalk in front. This is organized by Keith Buchholz and promises great fun. There are a gaggle of other Fluxus and Network gatherings and events throughout the weekend, including another Fluxus/avant history tour of New Brunswick like the Anti-Tour we hosted several years ago. I'll be making as many of these events as I can, everything considered. I'll post Keith's announcement on everything later. For the moment there's this:

• And here's a work in progress, largely inspired by the Bouzingo quasi-translation/versification, which has my blood pumping metrically of late; posted primarily with a view toward the translation of Bouzingo work being done by various people right now, as an example of what the construction of such texts look like.

The theme is a favourite Decadent/Symbolist one touching on the logothetic practices dealt with in The Ecstatic Nerve, that of the incubus. I've devised a variation of a ballad form, allowing me to frame the poem as a cautionary tale sung from mother to daughter and attempt to de-mysogify, if not un-complicate, the traditional treatment of the theme.

The same '-ying' B rhyme (a double-rhyme, including slants) recurs throughout the poem, while other A sets dodge around them from stanza to stanza. I've not yet decided on the C rhyme, which will scan across the poem as a whole, one in each stanza:

Song of Caution for the Virtuous Incubus

[alternating iambic tetrameter & trimeter w/bastard syllable, w/terminal pure trimeter]

[5 stanzas: ABABC, C to rhyme across the poem]

{stanza: didactic summery of argument}

A Pay heed, young XXX in XXXXXX[hurt/ girt

B lest into XXX you XXX

A For what XXXXXX turns back to dirt

B XXX rot XXXXXXXXXXXX

C [trimeter]

********************

A For once a XXX some XXXXXXXXX

B with men of meat go[es] lying;

A and though she tremble intoXXX

B she ends XXXXXX repining

C [trimeter]

*************

A XXXXXXXXXXXX with XXX of flesh,

B In XXXXXXXXX reclining

A XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX enmeshed

B are soon enmeshed with dying

C [trimeter]

**********

A A dying XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX {dying not death...}

B XXX lamia XXXXXXXXX

A XXXXXXXXX she replies that there

B are many forms of writhing,

C and

************

{stanza: echo & subtly subvert 1st stanza}

A For flesh grows old, and cold, and dies;

B And XXXXXXXXXXXX crying

A Despite she who, XXXXXX, replies:

B XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX signing

C

An Extended List

PRODUCTIVE CODEX (Not Quite EXHAUSTIVE):
OLCHAR E. LINDSANN

The listing below is well-nigh as comprehensive as it's going to get; more hyperlinks and a thoroughly up-to-date online directory are also eventually on their way. (Needless to say, projects initiated under [other] pseudonyms and heteronyms, and projects not intended for public consumption, are excluded.) At some point I will collate an alternative articulation of this material, wherein everything is presented chronologically rather than subdivided into formal or other categories.
In the current thematic format, dates are given in Annum Domini for the benefit of those not committed to the Annum Dada system; the opposite approach will be taken for the chronicle.
A.D. 2002 = A.Da. 86 A.D. 2009 = A.Da. 93 etc.

Here, the activity is organized under the following headings, in a not entirely irrelevant order (I have tended to attempt to reduce redundancy, though some exists in cases of seperate functions perpetrated under the umbrella of a larger event or project):
