If this makes sense to you, or if it
doesn't but still seems intriguing,
you might want to check out the Electronic
Poetry Center from the University of Buffalo. Let me also
suggest a short list of books to read: Kenneth
Irby's Call Steps, Robert Kelly's The Flowers of Unceasing
Coincidence,
Leslie Scalapino's Way, Beverly Dahlen's A Reading 1-7
(or
any other in that series), Clark Coolidge's The Crystal Text,
Susan
Howe's
Singularities, anything by Larry Eigner, and Maryrose
Larkin's The Book of Ocean.
Two critical
works that have very accessible chapters on experimental poetry are
Rachel
Blau du Plessis' The Pink Guitar, and Marjorie Perloff's Poetic
License.
Most recently, my poetry has appeared
in First Intensity, Spectaculum, Black Spring, Bird Dog, Locus Point
(online), and 31 (an unbound chapbook anthology). A chapbook, The
stress of meaning: variations on a line of Susan
Howe,
was published in 1997 by Standing Stones Press, a second chapbook, Diamond
Notebooks, was published in 1998 by nominative press collective,
and
a third chapbook, Slippage, was published in 1999 by Potes and
Poets
Press. A book No Face: Selected and
New was published in 2008 by First Intensity Press. A chapbook
(actually, a bunch of unbound cards) Ku:
a thumb book is forthcoming from Crane's Bill Books. Some of my
poems can be found online at Locus Point
and at the Kansas
Poets web site.
A life between horizontal lines: what kind of life is that?
