The boldest literary experiments in the genre were taking place in the British magazine New Worlds ; moreover, its editors and writers hung out with progressive rock musicians such as the band Hawkwind who, in turn, adopted science-fiction stylings. This was a mix I desperately wanted to enter And what does it all lead to?

Yep, science-fiction poetry , which Joron eventually had to admit he was writing:.

Science fiction SF , with its visionary take on reality, constituted my entire worldview——my natal religion, as it were. I was not about to leave this church; my turn toward poetry would not turn me away from the genre. Of course, given the degree of modernist literary innovation occurring within science fiction, it was only a matter of time before others would independently come up with the idea. The late seventies and early eighties were undoubtedly the golden era of SF poetry, a period in which the parameters and potentials of what many of us considered a new literary form were worked out for the first time.

The ultimate source for a generation of voices, this carefully collected volume emphasizes the human experience and attempts to break down the barriers that have up to this point defined and claimed us. I love that rather than being divided into countries, or regions, the book is divided into life's regions - childhood, identity, politics, the erotic, etc.

This is a gorgeous collection of poems that are too often left out of the major, western-dominated anthologies. It is organized in such a way that poems of different origins and styles compliment each other in unique and profound ways. The editors have done a magnificent job. One person found this helpful. I'm loving this journey through poetry I've never encountered before.

It's a refreshing break from the old guard of Tennyson, Poe, and Shakespeare and the like If you're looking to broaden your horizons through the poetic form, here's your chance.

They are well arranged in groups from the personal to the political. I had a good experience working with editor Tina Chang over a couple of years, all by email. In this age of information, poetry is perhaps the most efficient method of expressing grand concepts.

Language for a New Century, a collection of contemporary poetry from the Middle East, Asia including parts of North and East Africa and its Diaspora, contains one poetic masterpiece after another. Complete with humor, love, anger, despair, confusion, contempt, sadness and joy, the poems open a window into the experience of the world's most populous continent.

Lovingly compiled by its editors, who are towering artists in their own right, this collection of voices from the "East" is the culmination of six years of research and collaboration with thousands of people in the 55 countries from which the works are drawn. The poems were carefully translated from their 40 original languages into English--many for the first time--by expert regional artists who have succeeded in expressing concepts and ideas often difficult to convey.

  • Modern Poets and Poetry - Introduction!

The poems contained in this massive volume represent some of the best in their modern craft, and stand in stark contrast to the disposable monotony we slog through in our daily search for truth. Evocative and provocative, familiar and shocking, the poets pose questions more often than they make pronouncements. Eliciting thought and reflection, they challenge the consumer of "information" to instead become an information producer. Arranged around nine themes related to the human experience, the structure of the book itself combats Orientalism with humanity.

It defies borders, many artificial, many imposed, reconnecting regions in a continent where, prior to Western imperialism, war and the modern nation state, identities, ideas and people interacted more fluidly. Events that have transpired in these regions over the past six years have only made the poems' messages more urgent--and their publication that much more of a triumph.

Indeed, Language for a New Century, and the regional networks developed through the work of its tireless collaborators, is likely to bring on a new age of enlightenment; if not for the world, then at least for the reader.

Douglas Kearney is my favorite performer, on or off the page. On the page, Kearney proves to be the most versatile and acrobatic of poets: Everywhere you look these days, the world has taken notice of Eileen Myles. The most recent, for T Magazine , places Myles as the triggering influence for generations of feminist writers and artists.

The continuing angle in much of her media coverage: But as Myles told me in a recent interview for Interview Magazine: Robinson, Denise Ferreira da Silva , and scores of others. We are beyond lucky to be alive in a time when his is the writing we can be listening to. Who else writes like this? You are a ukulele beyond my microphone You are a Yukon beyond my Micronesia You are a union beyond my meiosis You are a unicycle beyond my migration You are a universe beyond my mitochondria You are a Eucharist beyond my Miles Davis You are a euphony beyond my myocardiogram You are a unicorn beyond my Minotaur You are a eureka beyond my maitai You are a Yuletide beyond my minesweeper You are a euphemism beyond my myna bird.

And so his recent poems and books continue to be much easier to evade than confront. That he will soon be eighty-nine, and has been publishing now for seven decades are facts that boggle the mind. I will compose each sentence with care by minding what the rules of writing dictate. For example, all sentences will begin with capital letters. Likewise, the history of the sentence will be honored by ending each one with appropriate punctuation such as a period or question mark, thus bringing the idea to momentary completion.

In other words, I do not regard this as a poem of great imagination or a work of fiction. Also, historical events will not be dramatized for an interesting read. Therefore, I feel most responsible to the orderly sentence; conveyor of thought. It knocked me in my tracks because I felt I was witnessing a new kind of confession—yes, something troubled with emotion recollected in the free space of metaphor, imagery and rhythm.

But also a confession that went beyond any specific historical time. Kim teaches her students to think of the blank page as not merely that, but also a piece of canvas—one that must be studied and filled, but also emptied. For decades, she has made the spacing of the poem into a radical act that emphasizes the appearing and disappearing edges trapped behind, between words and syllables.
