Dear Friend of Poetry, Dear Lover of the Arts of Engagement:
I’m starting a new blog of interviews/exchanges/engagements. You may recall my earlier outing with E-X-C-H-A-N-G-E-V-A-L-U-E-S (http://willtoexchange.blogspot.com/), a site which presented in-depth interviews with contemporary innovative poets.
The new blog, ASK/TELL (http://eeevee2.blogspot.com/) ,hopes to build and expand upon that previous project by encouraging exchanges about poetics and the poetics of experience in a variety of formats. I am particularly interested in cross-disciplinary conversations/exchanges. Imagine a poet and a philosopher talking. Or a poet and an ecologist. Imagine exchanges that stretch what it means to interrogate reality. Imagine exchanges which change the ways in which we think about poetics. I’m looking for work that takes some risks.
I’m open to proposals for projects and I’m interested in taking on a motivated co-curator.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Tom Beckett

I for one look forward to seeing how this develops/ evolves...
ReplyDeleteProposed :
ReplyDeletethe Will to Clarity
no matter
what it takes
paths / intentions / proclivities
submissive propensities /
it is a possible world
we live in, it
wouldn’t be possible for
it to be otherwise now
would it ?
Was the question
once upon a time
( the Tom Beckett I knew & know in
a parallel life might dig it you just
never know ... the possibility of him
back then, being that
an addendum to the above :
ReplyDeletememory as part of poetry has always interested me, particularly in the matter of performative recitation of one's own work -- to do so from memory draws on one's own deepest convictions as a poet, those kinds of convictions that are there in the very Blood of memory...
I'd love to have a cross-disciplinary chat with Oliver Sacks about it.
