an exposition of a moment in existence’s unfolding, the extension of that moment, and the extension of the before-the-moment that went into the original moment.
as a continuation of the work started in ‘text’ by peter ganick, these are rooted in an exploration of the possibilities of sifted/shifted language.
with or without the syntactic illusion, these are vital and a new exposition of what’s possible with connected/disconnected language.
how can all these bases be covered without jargon? the language goes before and after the reader. onward to the reading. visit the links to sample these vital books.
original cover artwork by ganick completes these innovative texts, almost artist-books in their uniqueness.
Noel Canlas says of his writing:
With Peter Ganick, we have no big alibi for the massive concatenation of lexical items. These super-free elements comprise a rain of lexicon in zero structure. Voiceless, subject-less, object-less, they populate the page without any restraint, without telos. It is as if language flowed out in all direction, becoming the true free flowing stream of language, unburdened by thought or by the unconscious, anchored nowhere, just moving stylelessly, with no external or internal intervention to coax them into a form, an argument, a point, a theme, a voice, a view, an order. It is a language freed of all its expressive, epistemic and stylistic burdens.
_
It contains work by 28 poets and one special photographer.
The double issue: Issue 9 Summer & Issue 10 Fall B&YDog is currently available at Blue & Yellow Dog Book Shop: http://blueyellowdog.weebly.com/bydog-book-shop.html

Call for Papers for International Conference at Université de Haute Alsace in Mulhouse, France, Mulhouse, France
CFP online at : http://lex-icon21.blogspot.com/
Multidisciplinary conference on text and image creation, use and reception in ultra-contemporary literature and visual art (works created in the 21st century).
//
Colloque multidisciplinaire sur le texte et l’image, leur création et leur élaboration, dans les domaines de la littérature et de l’art plastique. Focus : les œuvres « ultra contemporaines » (créés depuis 2000).Short version of CFP Anglais :
This conference will unite researchers from varied disciplines in order to begin formulating a new criticism for the 21st century’s authors and visual artists who are given to making texts to see as if they were geometric forms, or forms to read, colors and visual sequences whose nature it had once been to reach spectators and their perceptions with an inherent immediacy.In particular, Lex-ICON will focus on the reception of hybrid works, asking whether language and words are necessary to say or communicate things and ideas or even to think. Can one simply feel thought through the gaze without ever really having the words, the grammar and thus language itself to describe it? Is a process of translation from the visual to linguistic necessary for thought to take place? The debates which have surrounded the treatment, classification, teaching, economy and reception of such works and the theories on lexiconographic work have long lived in separate ponds, our idea is to unify them to seek a common, cross-disciplinary discourse.
Discussions and panels will be joined by a series of artistic and literary presentations and performances during and around the conference in the region of Alsace and the city of Mulhouse.
Paper proposals (250-300 words) in French or English should be emailed before the 25th of February 2012. They should be sent to both Jennifer K Dick (jennifer-kay.dick@uha.fr or fragment3@yahoo.com) and to Océane Delleaux (oceane.delleaux@wanadoo.fr).

Résumé de notre appel à contributions:
S’agirait-il d’une attention emphatique à la substance physique du langage qui unirait écrivains et plasticiens aujourd’hui ? Ou s’agit-il de modes de représentation et de conceptualisation bien différents engendrant des bouleversements culturels profonds ?
Ce colloque a pour but de réunir des chercheurs de plusieurs disciplines pour poser une première pierre de réflexion critique sur ces écrivains et ces plasticiens qui donnent à voir des textes comme s’ils étaient des formes géométriques, ou à lire des formes, des couleurs et des séquences visuelles dont la nature même traditionnellement touche les spectateurs et leurs perceptions par un effet d’immédiateté inhérent.
Plus particulièrement, nous nous pencherons sur la réception des œuvres hybrides. Les débats qui entourent le traitement, la classification, l’enseignement, l’économie et la réception de telles œuvres ne sont pas neufs, mais ils deviennent de plus en plus souvent les motifs de l’art et de la littérature de l’ultra contemporain. Il s’agira donc à contribuer à la théorisation de l’effet produit par l’intersémioticité de ces pratiques verbo-visuelles en y ajoutant par ailleurs toute une série d’interventions artistiques et littéraires qui se dérouleront régionalement autour du colloque.
Les propositions de communications (250-300 mots environ) en français ou en anglais devront être envoyées avant le 25 février 2012. Elles sont à adresser à Jennifer K Dick (jennifer-kay.dick@uha.fr ou fragment3@yahoo.com) et à Océane Delleaux (oceane.delleaux@wanadoo.fr).
Les réponses du comité scientifique seront communiquées avant le 15 mars 2012.L’ensemble des informations concernant le colloque ainsi que notre appel à contributions complète est accessible à l’adresse :
