Disobedience | 
“It's necessary to maintain a state of disobedience against... everything.“
A happy birthday today to one of my favourite poets, Alice Notley.
vivastory Love Alice Notley. I'm planning on rereading Descent of Alette soon. 1y
Bibliobear @vivastory Such a wonderful book! I was just looking at a new book, a collection of lectures on poetics from the Naropa school edited by Anne Waldman titled New Weathers which includes a piece from Alice. Hoping to check that out soon. 1y
vivastory That sounds really interesting. I recall many years ago there were audio recordings of quite a few of the lectures from Naropa school online. I downloaded & listened to a number of them. It would def be convenient to have the best of them collected in an anthology. 1y
Bibliobear @vivastory I believe you can still find a lot of those audio recordings up at the PennSound website, which is such a great resource. I was looking at the table of contents for the New Weathers anthology and it definitely piqued my interest. There are a handful of other favourites there in addition to Alice Notley such as Lyn Hejinian, Eleni Sikelianos, and Lisa Jarnot. 1y
vivastory I haven't looked at the PennSound site in awhile, but I recall Leonard Schwartz program Cross Cultural Poetics was a favorite. I will have to look at the site to see what has been added over the past few years. When I first discovered it, I downloaded quite a few mp3s of various readings & interviews to listen to. I'm glad that it's been maintained. 1y
