Jim Leftwich: tre link

Come tutte le estati, riprendono meno fuggevolmente, e con miglior ritmo, i miei dialoghi con interlocutori della ricerca letteraria italiana, francese e statunitense. Con Jim Leftwich, per esempio, sodale importantissimo per me, ormai da almeno vent’anni.

issue #18 of buzdokuz is out

The 18th Issue of Buzdokuz Poetry Theory Criticism Magazine is Out Now.

Buzdokuz, which has prepared product-based issues for experimental art/poetry in addition to theoretical files, focused on “asemic”, “glitch”, “language-based art”, and this time on Found Poetry.

Buzdokuz opens with Burak Ş. Çelik‘s introduction, who is the editor of the 18th issue of Buzdokuz.

Next comes the ESC section with examples of Found Poetry. Artists and poets who participated in our Found Poetry file with their works: James Knight + Nilgün Yılmaz + Serdar Süalp + Astra Papachristodoulou + Nur Alan + John M. Bennett + Burak Ş. Çelik + Jeff Nimp + Muhammed Yusuf Aktekin + Işık Sungurlar + Hafize Çetinkaya + Mert Özden + Ayşe Kongur + Jim Leftwich + Laura Kerr + Stathis Dimitriadis.

Rafet Arslan, Laura Kerr, Marco Giovenale, John M. Bennett, Alper Aydın and Jeff Nimp join our Found Poetry inquiry in the INSERT section with their responses. Hakan Şarkdemir discusses the theoretical and political aspects of the concept of “Found” in his article titled “Did the train run away? On Found Poetry”.

Cover by Burak Ş. Çelik.

new book by jim leftwich: “public displays of affection” (luna bisonte ed.)

jim leftwich, public displays of affectionThis unique book, written while the author and his wife have been moving around the Western USA, is full of references to place names, and flora and fauna of California, which reminds one of Californian writing of the 1960s, when poets, beats, and hippies were hanging out in places like Big Sur, Bolinas, Venice, and San Francisco. That resonance brings a level of lyricism to Leftwich’s work. But his writing is very different from those halcyon days, though there is a similarity in the attention paid to common moments and things, a Zen-like attitude. But here, words are often juxtaposed with little apparent semantic relationship, making for phrases and lines that create multiple possibilities of meaning and resonance. In Part One of this book especially, each of Leftwich’s “stanzas” are separate poems/ worlds/ perceptions/ and each rewards attention. They are not “thought”, but mirrors of attention, blank minds open – not like the Californian 1960s at all, where such things were talked about but not manifested so much. Leftwich manifests that kind of mind, as in a classical Japanese Haiku sequence. It requires a kind of open and shifting attention of the reader, an attention that does not include any kind of searching for facile instructions about how to live. It is, rather, documentation of an acceptance and exploration of the relationship between mind and world.

(John M. Bennett)

this week the role of shoes
images of hats and nostrils
insomuch as the map pages
are unreadable illegible
desemantized & repetitive

ASEMICS. Senso senza significato

di Marco Giovenale

(IkonaLíber, 2023)

http://www.ikona.net/marco-giovenale-asemics-senso-senza-significato

Questa sequenza di annotazioni, fuori da ogni ipotesi di esaustione, propone un possibile itinerario attraverso la storia delle espressioni “scrittura asemica” (o “asemantica” o “desemantizzata”) e “asemic writing”; e inoltre offre alcuni elementi di teoria che configurano l’identità di questa pratica artistica come «macchina di disorganizzazione e disintegrazione del significato ad opera del senso stesso».

Libro con immagini di:
Rosaire Appel, Anneke Baeten, May Bery, Marcia Brauer, Axel Calatayud, Cecelia Chapman, Tim Gaze, Ariel González Losada, Michael Jacobson, Satu Kaikkonen, Paul Klee, Karri Kokko, Jim Leftwich, Arturo Martini, John McConnochie, Miriam Midley, Stephen Nelson, Laura Ortiz, Ekaterina Samigulina / Tae Ateh, Lucinda Sherlock, Jay Snodgrass, Lina Stern, Miron Tee, Cecil Touchon

Quarta di copertina:

Blurb:
This sequence of annotations, beyond any hypothesis of exhaustion, draws a possible itinerary through the history of the expressions “scrittura asemica” (or “asemantica” [asemantic] or “desemantizzata” [“desemantized”]) and “asemic writing”; and also offers some theoretical elements that configure the identity of this artistic practice as «a machine of disorganization and disintegration of meaning by means of sense itself»
