Thing of Beauty
"Jackson Mac Low's poetry and prose exceeds narrow definitions of artists by movements or poets by style. His work began with and returned to timeless subjects such as children, animals, love, war, death, and God, diverging at points into rigorously imposed structures, systems, and chance operations in an effort to suppress the ego in his art. At one point, embarrassed by his depth of feeling, Mac Low confesses to being an 'existential poet,' a declaration that the title of the poem A Lack of Balance But Not Fatal contradicts with modest and generous humor. This is an important and often very moving anthology of Mac Low's thought, at the same time as it reflects the preoccupations of his gen...
Uxudo
Poetry. Art. Anne Tardos's UXUDO combines extreme sophistication with great warmth. By using the ligusitic, the filmic, the nonlinear, her surface becomes dimensional, what I want to call an acute net, in the sense of crossings. Time and mourning support from the outside. This is exciting and tremendously moving -- Me-mei Berssenbrugge. UXUDO, a gift from technology, illuminsted manuscript. Illuminated not as in illustrated, but luminous (ital), interactive in a sense that Blake would have understood. Or Zukovsky : that language is eyes. Ears, echoes. That, in fact, language itself, in our time certainly, must always be plural: a system of difference, midrashim to an Ur-text that never existed but perpetually surrounds us. Place exists, but entirely as displacement. These marvelous works reveal our time with remarkable precision, generosity and wit. Anne Tardo see (ital), hears, writes, acts (itla), with a clarity that is breathtaking Ron Silliman.
154 Forties
The first publication of the complete series of Jackson Mac Low’s “Forties” poems. Written and revised from 1990 to 2001 with a method Mac Low called “gathering,” where he took into the poems words, phrases, and other kinds of word strings, and sometimes sentences, that he saw, heard, or thought of while writing the drafts, the poems include detailed markings of caesural spacing, timing, compound words (many neologistic), and metrical stress. Each of the poems adhere to what Mac Low termed “fuzzy verse form”: 8 stanzas, each comprising 5 lines (hence "forties"): 3 moderately long lines, followed by a very long line, and then a short line.
Both Poems
Poetry. "What a joyful and intricate exhibit of the love of language, here in BOTH POEMS. After I Am You, nothing would work but both. Learn what metaphors aren't and how autobiographies can be and not be" Bernadette Mayer."
Words Nd Ends from Ez
A re-writing of poetry by Ezra Pound (principally the Cantos), according to Maclow's "diastic chance selection method" (p. 90), an "objective" text-generating procedure.
Other Influences
A compelling collection of original essays on influence that restore a feminist avant-garde that includes women of color, queer, and trans women. Other Influences frames a new literary history in which feminist, avant-garde, and poetry practices intersect, foregrounding critically neglected but artistically powerful lineages in twentieth- and twenty-first-century North American poetry. In this collection, Marcella Durand and Jennifer Firestone assemble original essays by a range of leading contemporary feminist avant-garde poets asked to consider their lineages, inspirations, and influences. Their reflections contain many surprises, with writers citing scientists, artists, and little-known f...

All Poets Welcome
Together with its accompanying CD, this text captures the excitement of the vibrant, irreverent poetry scene of New York's Lower East Side in the 1960s. The text draws from personal interviews with many of the participants, from unpublished letters and from rare sound recordings.
Words to Be Looked At
A critical study of the use of language and the proliferation of text in 1960s art and experimental music, with close examinations of works by Vito Acconci, Carl Andre, John Cage, Douglas Huebler, Andy Warhol, Lawrence Weiner, La Monte Young, and others. Language has been a primary element in visual art since the 1960s—in the form of printed texts, painted signs, words on the wall, recorded speech, and more. In Words to Be Looked At, Liz Kotz traces this practice to its beginnings, examining works of visual art, poetry, and experimental music created in and around New York City from 1958 to 1968. In many of these works, language has been reduced to an object nearly emptied of meaning. Robe...
Mathematics in Twentieth-Century Literature & Art
The author of What Is a Number? examines the relationship between mathematics and art and literature of the 20th century. During the twentieth century, many artists and writers turned to abstract mathematical ideas to help them realize their aesthetic ambitions. Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and, perhaps most famously, Piet Mondrian used principles of mathematics in their work. Was it coincidence, or were these artists following their instincts, which were ruled by mathematical underpinnings, such as optimal solutions for filling a space? If math exists within visual art, can it be found within literary pursuits? In short, just what is the relationship between mathematics and the creative arts? I...
