Isotope on the Endangered List

This is indeed sad news for me, since it was only after reading Isotope that I believed English and science could really get along in the same mind of appreciation and learning. Something countless years of education failed to convince me of.

From the Terrain.org blog, posted by Simmons B. Butin:

Worst Event/Activity

I have very sad news to share — news I learned yesterday but wasn’t prepared to share until today (and I do have permission). As many of you know, Christopher Cokinos founded and has served as the editor of the outstanding journal Isotope: A Journal of Literary Nature and Science Writing for more than a decade now. Many of you also know that state university funding has been drastically cut nearly everywhere. Combine those two, and we learn that Utah State University will no longer be publishing Isotope.

Folks, Isotope is one of the three or four best environmental literary journals, and its closure is a huge blow not only to the good folks working on the journal at USU, but to environmental and science literature readers and writers everywhere. But what to do? We need to find a large endowment to sustain the journal, under Chris’s excellent editorial skills, and find it now. So ante up!

There is a possibility that Isotope will move to another university or other editing team, but unless it stays at USU, as far as I know Chris will no longer be the editor. That is sad, indeed.

New Lit on the Block :: The Lonesome Fowl

Founded by poet A. Minetta Gould, The Lonesome Fowl joins the online ranks of ars poetica and beyond. Accepting submissions of poetry, fiction and non-ficiton, the first issue features works by Tim Lantz, Kim Chinquee, Greg Gerke, Grove Koger, Kristin Ravel, Forrest Roth, and Amber Nelson.

Exhibits: Graphic Art & Grand Text Auto

Two cool exhibits at the Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign:

Vivid Lines in Graphic Times
May 21 to July 26, 2009

This selection of works, specifically paintings and works on paper from the museum’s permanent collection, shares a graphic quality. Whether these artists appropriated images from consumerist culture, took influence from comic books, or simply utilized graphic techniques in their creative process, their works illustrate how meaning and feeling can be conveyed differently through the graphic line. While clearly referencing the Pop Art movement, these works from the 1970s through the late 1990s incorporate the movement’s vibrant color and readymade images but deliver a more serious message.

Grand Text Auto
April 14 through July 26, 2009

Many blogs have spawned books over the last few years, but grandtextauto.org is the first to become an art exhibition. This blog about computer mediated and computer generated works of many forms—including net.art, hypertext fiction, and computer games—is collaboratively written by Mary Flanagan, Michael Mateas, Nick Montfort, Scott Rettberg, Andrew Stern, and Noah Wardrip-Fruin. In this exhibition, the bloggers put their ideas into practice by displaying a variety of cutting edge works of digital art of their own creation.

Submit Your Piece of Peace

Judy Lucas is gathering 1000 Pieces of Peace – or more! Modeled after the story of Sadako and the 1000 origami cranes, Judy is “gathering poems, quotes, and prose pictures about peace from writers around the world, of all ages and backgrounds, published or not. They will be arranged in a book, the proceeds of which will go exclusively toward building in West Virginia the worlds first silly hospital, a proto-typical model of health care delivery” – this based on the medical philosophy of Patch Adams. Visit the Patch for Peace page or the Gesundheit! Institute site for more information.

To participate in the 1000 Pieces of Peace, visit this page for submission information. Though the website says the deadline has passed, Judy has assured me she will accept submission until June 30. Don’t delay your piece of peace!

Teaching Artists Survey

From Teaching Artist Research Project (TARP):

The Survey Lab is collaborating with the National Opinion Research Center to carry out the first large scale survey of teaching artists. They are currently in the phase of locating teaching artists to participate in a web survey they expect to field in Spring 2009.

If you are a teaching artist, or if you manage a program that hires teaching artists – you can register for the survey on the site. They will send a link to the survey itself as soon as it “goes live” in your community.

If you are someone who hires teaching artists, you can help the project to develop a more complete list. Contact info available on the site.

Blue Mountain Center Residency/Award

The Richard J. Margolis Award of Blue Mountain Center combines a one-month residency at Blue Mountain Center with a $5,000 prize. It is awarded annually to a promising new journalist or essayist whose work combines warmth, humor, wisdom and concern with social justice. The award was established in honor of Richard J. Margolis, a journalist, essayist and poet who gave eloquent voice to the hardships of the rural poor, migrant farm workers, the elderly, Native Americans and others whose voices are seldom heard. He was also the author of a number of books for children. Deadline July 1, 2009

Passings :: William Witherup

From The Stranger: John Marshall, the owner of Open Books up in Wallingford (WA), informs us that local poet William Witherup died yesterday of leukemia. Here is what Marshall has to say about him: “Bill was, to various degrees, very sweet and very crusty. He spent much of his life, politically and through poetry, focused on the plight of Downwinders, of which he was one—people who grew up and lived downwind of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.”

From West End Press: Bill Witherup was born in 1935. He grew up in eastern Washington, around Hanford from the time his father took a job there.

After graduating from the University of Washington, he moved to San Francisco in 1960, later dividing his time among rural retreats near Monterey and Big Sur in California and a ranch outside Santa Fe, New Mexico.

His poetry darkened following the death of his father in 1983. While Witherup has endured periods of breakdown and hospitalization during his adult life, his dedication to poetry has remained unrelenting.

Passings :: David Bromige

From the Press Democrat:

David Bromige’s bold and experimental poetry won him multiple literary honors and the respect of readers around the world. But the retired Sonoma State University professor and former Sonoma County Poet Laureate, who died June 3 at home in Sebastopol at the age of 75, will be remembered by those who knew and loved him for his rapier wit and generous support of other writers.

“I am happy to say that in the last week of his life his family was reading to him my new memoir and he was laughing at my jokes. He never missed a joke,” said former SSU colleague and novelist Jerry Rosen.

Bromige, he praised, “knew as much about contemporary poetry as any person in the world” and managed to communicate his love for poetry to his students during 25 years at SSU.

What Plagiarism Looks Like

It makes it really difficult to have conversations with students about plagiarism when we know about incidents such as this one in which Jacksonville State University President William Meehan’s dissertation was found to have the highlighted passages copied directly from Carl Boening’s dissertation (and supposedly more that was not verbatim). Both received their doctoral degrees from University of Alabama, and to date, investigations of this were dropped when JSU spokesperson said “there was no substance to the accusations.” Apparently, someone else thinks there is substance to the charge and posted the What Plagiarism Looks Like website, which includes this image as well as the full text of both Meehan’s and Boeing’s dissertations as pdf files. To think I was giving students zero grades on papers for plagiarizing while Meehan was given a PhD and a presidency.

The Splinter Generation Becomes Ongoing

The Splinter Generation, a one-time-only publication received so much positive attention, the editors have decided to re-launch the journal as an ongoing publication featuring short fiction, poetry and nonfiction from writers born between 1973 and 1993.

Where is All the Writing About Our Work?

Alain de Botton in his Boston Globe article Portrait of the Artist as a Young Data-Entry Supervisor says, “It’s time for an ambitious new literature of the office[. . .]many contemporary writers are notably silent about a key area of our lives: our work. If a proverbial alien landed on earth and tried to figure out what human beings did with their time simply on the evidence of the literature sections of a typical bookstore, he or she would come away thinking that we devote ourselves almost exclusively to leading complex relationships, squabbling with our parents, and occasionally murdering people. What is too often missing is what we really get up to outside of catching up on sleep, which is going to work at the office, store, or factory.”

Though we readers of literary magazines and small press publications know that these stories are being written and published, you just may not find them on the chain bookstore best seller shelf or paid-for-promotional-space tables.

Two such examples of these pockets of publication include two upcoming collections:

Anthology. On the Clock: Contemporary Short Fiction of People and Their Work. Working Lives Series from Bottom Dog Press Inc. Oct 1

Anthology: Out Behind the Desk: Workplace Issues for LGBTQ Librarians (a working title), edited by Tracy Nectoux and published by Library Juice Press as part of the series Gender and Sexuality in Librarianship. Dec 31

Film :: Two of the Missing

According to Press 53, movie rights have been optioned by Millennium Films and shooting is scheduled for Two of the Missing: Remembering Sean Flynn & Dana Stone, a Vietnam War memoir written by Perry Deane Young, first published in 1975. The new edition released by Press 53 includes 18 pages of photos, many published for the first time.

On April 6, 1970, Sean Flynn, along with his friend and fellow photojournalist Dana Stone, were captured by Communist forces near Cambodia and never seen again. Sean was 28 at the time of his capture; he would have been 68 years old this year. Sean Flynn was the son of legendary film actor Errol Flynn. His capture in 1970 set off an international plea for his release and the release of several other journalists who were captured while covering the war.

New Lit on the Block :: Puffin Circus

Edited by poet Anthony Kendrick, Puffin Circus is a new independent, semi-annual literary journal based in Somerset, Pennsylvania that prints poetry, art, short stories, essays, book reviews, and cartoons.

The first issue features poetry and prose by Joseph Reich, Kenneth Pobo, Michelle Danner, Laura Garrison, Hannah C. Langley, Barbara Crooker, James Rioux, Richard Fein, and Rudy Sturk, short stories by David Moyer and Wayne H. W. Wolfson, an essay by Francis Raven, creative nonfiction by Robyn Bolton, and art by Francis Raven, Paul Woods, and Tim Welch.

Submissions are being accepted for the second issue of Puffin Circus, and, as always, writers are encouraged to read a copy before deciding if their work is right for submission.

Text as Art: Other C/lutter

Other Clutter is an online gallery space designed to explore “text as art”. Taking inspiration from the visual poetry of bpNichol and Steve McCaffrey the site has set out to examine text (words, letters, phrases, sentences, found text, pictures etc.) as an inherently visual space.

Contributors are often artists and poets who view language and its component parts as visual objects that lend themselves to shifting meanings and therefore recognize that words visually contain multiple entryways into understanding. Other Clutter is a space for both writers and artists to dismantle and reconstruct the political and representational overtones of text and art.

Other C/lutter also sponsors The Scream Literary Festival, July 2-13 in Toronto, for which they are seeking art submissions for gallery display.

Controversy in Dublin, Ireland

Apparently the controversy with the Dublin Writers Festival is that it excludes Irish-language writers:

Dear Administrators,

Once again the Dublin Writers Festival has excluded Irish-language writers from any meaningful participation in the Festival events and activities. This behaviour by the organizers is shameful, offensive, and imperious. Indeed, I call for a boycott of the Dublin Writers Festival. It is my intention to urge writers, artists, and other citizens (in Ireland, Britain, the U.S. and other countries) to withdraw any and all support from the Festival and its activities. I urge an earthquake of a protest campaign until there is a constructive remedy to this imperiousness!

For creative diversity in Ireland,

Fog & Car

If divorce is a totaled car, then Eugene Lim’s Fog & Car is a multiple vehicle pile-up. Huge accidents tend to occur in rain or fog – the low-visibility tricking drivers into thinking other cars are further away than they really are. Throwing everything into darkness, Lim’s novel forces its characters, and the reader, to crane forward, to squint their eyes, to try get their bearings, just to keep from crashing. And all of this happens after an off-stage break-up. Continue reading “Fog & Car”

a theory of everything

This boldly titled collection is split into cleverly named sections, such as “everything before us,” “in spite of everything,” and “the end of everything,” so that we immediately get the impression that we will be taken through a giant landscape of image and emotion. However, we are misled in the scope; the landscape presented is largely personal, the everything particular to her universe. The titular poem suggests she will relate the universe to ourselves, not that the universe (or perhaps more specifically, string theory) is a metaphor for our lives, which is perhaps more the case with these poems. Continue reading “a theory of everything”

Written on the Sky

These ancient Japanese poems, translated by Rexroth and selected by Eliot Weinberger, are mostly about love, and one who has never loved would be well advised to avoid them. The heartache in many of them is palpable, both through imagery and direct statement. Several, though, are nature poems keenly observed, as in this one by Fujiwara No Sueyoshi (1152-1211): Continue reading “Written on the Sky”

Vanishing

Candida Lawrence’s fourth collection of memoirs feels real and honest. From the opening chapter on her first college level paper to the closing chapter on her eighty-four-year-old sister’s unpredictable romance, Lawrence seems to tell it how it is, although she considers herself “the one in the family who is a veteran embroiderer on reality’s edges.” Continue reading “Vanishing”

The Winter Sun

Fanny Howe, author of more than two dozen books of fiction and poetry and two collections of essays, comes forth with a poignant new collection of essays in The Winter Sun: Notes on a Vocation. Hers is an idea-driven collection that reveals her pursuit of the writing life, her “vocation that has no name.” The Winter Sun is ultimately a necessary work that finds its own moment in time both by looking back to trace the flight pattern Howe has traversed as an author, and by analyzing the means at which we come to arrive in the present. Continue reading “The Winter Sun”

Live with Meaning. Die with Passion.

Do you ever listen to your parents’ advice? Fumitada Naoe, a minority displaced in 1980s-era Japan, certainly tried to. On page 9 of his strange, elliptical, memoir-cum-self-help-book, his mother tells him “Rich people and poor people all eat the same grain of rice. The time given to them is also completely the same. You have an enormous amount of time left. So it’s harder to find a reason for not being able to achieve.” Continue reading “Live with Meaning. Die with Passion.”

Songs of Love, Moon, and Wind

This collection of Chinese poems, translated by Kenneth Rexroth and selected by Eliot Weinberger, is review-proof. These poems have endured centuries and still stand as models of economy and beauty. All a reviewer can do is offer excerpts from some of the most memorable of them. Continue reading “Songs of Love, Moon, and Wind”

From the Paris of New England

At a time when many newspapers – if not going out of business altogether – have cut arts coverage, it’s reassuring to see that poet Douglas Holder works as the arts editor for The Somerville News, in Somerville, Massachusetts, a city on the outskirts of Boston and Cambridge. From the Paris of New England is a collection of Holder’s “Off the Shelf” column interviews and Somerville Community Access television show “Poet to Poet: Writer to Writer” interviews with literary figures, many of whom live in this city. The literary luminaries in this volume include Martha Collins, Mark Doty, Timothy Gager, Miriam Levine, Dick Lourie, Afaa Michael Weaver, Marc Widershien, and twenty-two others. Continue reading “From the Paris of New England”

Teaching Lost as Lit

University of Florida instructor Sarah Clarke Stuart teaches a literature course on Lost, the hit ABC show about the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 who crashed on a mysterious island. Her course includes such academic ares as physics, philosophy, religion, literature, mathematics, all based on content from the weekly program. “Ross Spencer, sophomore, said he thinks he’s learned more because the material is contemporary. ‘I think it’s more applicable than a regular literature class because you’re learning about what’s going on now,’ he said. ‘It definitely has academic merit.'”

“Regular literature”?

Merdian Awards and New Editors Announced

The newest issue of Merdian (22/May 09) includes the winners of the Editor’s Prize 2009:

Fiction Finalist Nahal Suzanne Jamir, “In the Middle of Many Mountains”
Poetry Winner: Angus A. Bennett, “Muted with a Line from Someone Else’s Memory”

Also announced in this issue are next year’s editors: Jazzy Danziger, head editor; Jasmine Bailey, poetry editor; Kevin Allardice and Memory Peebles, fiction editors.

In Memoriam :: Marilyn French

From Gloria Jacobs, Feminist Press Executive Director:

Marilyn French, a Feminist Press author and honorary board member, died on May 3. We are very proud to be the publisher of all of Marilyn’s latest works, including her novel, In the Name of Friendship, and her extraordinary 4-volume history of women in the world, From Eve to Dawn. I am especially pleased that Marilyn lived to see that opus published and to see the extensive review that appeared in the New York Review of Books by Hillary Mantel. Marilyn unfortunately did not live to see her latest work, the novel The Love Children, in print. The Press will be publishing it in September.

Marilyn had an indominatable spirit. She faced numerous illnesses over many years and not only kept going but kept producing new work throughout—including the memoir she had been working on and had hoped to finish. She will be deeply missed by her many friends, her adoring readership, and all of us who delighted in her feisty, spirited presence.

Dawkins vs Harry Potter

Wands at the ready, Professor Richard Dawkins is taking on Harry Potter. Well, not exactly, as he admits he hasn’t read the famous children’s book. Rather, Dawkins next work will focus on children’s fairytale books as being dangerously “anti-scientific,” among other things. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to it!
