Erasure: Dec 6 L v ng R m 7P

November 30, 2011
Ryukan

Prose is prose because of what it includes; poetry is poetry because of what it leaves out.
—Marvin Bell

What is erasure poetry and why does Ron Silliman compare it to the play of burlesque or striptease?  Come to Living Room to consider the possibilities.  After pondering some examples, you will have the chance to try your hand at one of your own.  You will have the option to work from an “assigned text” or from a copy of the poem you bring to workshop!  Other ideas for erasure will be explored. Jeanne Morel is your guide for the evening.

Writers of all ages and skill levels gather Tuesdays at 7P to read new work, the work of someone else or to just be in the engaging company of other writers. Your donation of $5 helps SPLAB continue our programming. Please bring 8 copies of the work you plan to read. If you do not bring copies, they are available for 10c.

Matt Trease Interview (The Outside)

Matt Trease Interview (The Outside)

A couple years back I steered a kayak over the stone remnants believed to be of that dammed weir and felt the tears of Southwind and his grandmother that broke the spell of ice and separation. In a moment I felt that wheel turning me, releasing the grief over my own people, still a mystery to me from centuries of migrations, of imperial assimilation, erased by the cold wind of empire and science and the myriad attempts to dam up the natural world with standardized time, supply chains, and rows and rows and rows of repeatable little boxes we stuff our brains and bodies into.
