Creative readings
I’ve been reading Susan Howe’s My Emily Dickinson and in it came to a moment where art, poetry and concrete world came together. And that is where Howe relates Plutarch’s translation [...]

Covers
I was never particularly in love with the Beach Boys. However, I’ve been listening a lot to a musician very strongly influenced by them. This musician, “named” Panda Bear, reworks familiar BB sound—Brian Wilsonesque vocals are distorted and extended into 12-minute songs that change tunes midway. I love covers, reworkings, renditions like this. I like [...]

My Occupations
I rarely meet someone without wanting to fight them. Others prefer the interior monologue. Not me. I like fighting better.
–Henri Michaux
A couple of weekends ago, I went to the Annual Gowanus Artists Studios Tour, where I saw the artist Ernest Concepcion. We were followed into his studio by a curious bystander who asked what [...]

TALKING POINTS
1. When I started blogging in 2005, I had only vague notions of how that space would relate to my poetry writing. I thought that I would use it as a space to think out loud, to think and write publicly about broad categories that occupied my thinking: translation, money, memory, the origin of [...]

TALKING POINTS
1. Hey ya’ll! It was a real weekend for poetry in the Bay Area. Renee Gladman started off in Oakland on Friday and everybody, I mean everybody, said it was an outstanding evening. I had a conflict and couldn’t go, which saddens me, but also you can’t go to everything. But here’s what I [...]

TALKING POINTS
1. Well that was awesome! After a fun stretch in Kansas City, I made the very short flight to Chicago. I read with Daniel Borzutzky that night at Judith Goldman’s house and it was terrific.

TALKING POINTS
1. Hi everybody! Talking Points, Poetry Project Dot Org version, is brought to you this week from Kansas City, Missouri, the land of my birth. I’ve been here for past five days, and I have gotten into some trouble. My friends in Kansas City keep more or less nocturnal hours and so I keep [...]
Post no.1 from Guest Blogger Brandon Brown
I’m so happy to be guest blogger here on Poetry Project Dot Org. My wildest fantasy is that each week I can try and facilitate a little discussion about a few broad topics: contemporaneity, various social scenes and theories of coterie, anecdotes from my planned October travels around the Midwest, and, perhaps most crucially, the [...]

Hiding behind screens of populated jams, where to find this week’s inch? On The Bowery, in The Bunker, from the travelled lungs of a certified poetry icon.
John Giorno’s reading at the Project last week was one of those pinch-me-I’m-alive events that reboots the mainframe and makes you want to write, perform and bask [...]
