Onbekend wants to get on my bus, and I suppose he's angry with me because my door is still shut, but here I am in my own mechanism. There he goes saying Stark we fought to get out this bitch now Stark let us on, but I'm not there anymore. I'm off with Queneau like this: out of the black, just hanging in empty space on a bus, watching, seeing Guy One jostle Guy Two and Guy Two says he did it on purpose ...

Coming of age in the warhol-inspired, electric-kool-aid-acid-test, krapp's last tape, happenings, conceptual/ performance/installation art, open/visual/concrete poetry era, the discussion of "conceptual poetry" taking place on the poetry foundation blog in Kenneth Goldsmith's entries, seems very familiar, even retro, to me, but I know I must be careful not to conflate what happened then with what's happening now, however similar they may seem (how aggravating it is to hear "oh, that's nothing new"!). And besides, so what if the concept of "conceptual poetry" is not new? Maybe it's time to revisit it and enjoy it again ... more

Greg Orr's early surrealist verse finds its deepest source in a biographical fact: while both were still boys, Orr shot and killed one of his brothers in a hunting accident. Orr reached the apogee of this record in "Gathering the Bones Together," the title poem of his second volume, a short sequence blending elegy with nightmare and hope to create, perhaps, the poet's "bridge" out of the past. Like Orr, but far more prominent (as well as half a generation older), Mark Strand built his reputation with user-friendly dreams and nightmares more eager to invite than repulse the reader ... more
The fact that conservatives are less than thrilled with a candidate such as John McCain is one result of the Reagan Revolution, a fundamental transformation of American politics. As with all revolutions this one comes with a heroic narrative crediting Ronald Reagan with winning the Cold War, cutting taxes, rebuilding the economy, restoring American’s confidence, and lifting this nation from the malaise of the Carter years to its rightful place in the world.
Reagan is so revered that few are willing to question his legacy. But there is no better time to revisit the history of Ronald Reagan than the beginning of the 21st century, as we begin to suffer the full consequences of his policies and the revolution that bears his name ... more
