a book is one hand in the fire

hear now cecilia vicuna, zumbar, kon kon, remembering that all is interconnected
hear now etel adnan, in the heart of the heart of another country, william gass, city lights bookstore, when i shelved poets there like lorine neidecker (who's name was misspelled on her own headstone) and muriel rukeyser (who has an fbi file-- perhaps tipped off by paul zukofsky?) for the first time and true reading connections between poets and other artists and thinkers began to shake goldsworthy hands with the place that is material that is alight and sounded vicuna's hum or tongue within tongue for me. and now tracing back is hearing forward and nowness or scalapino's new time, for here we all are.
hear now kurt schwitters, ursonate sound poem to bridge literary, musical, and speech systems
hear now john cage, echolocation of the beating heart chamber
hear now silverfish banned bookstore in kuala lumpur, malaysia, seoul selection bookstore in seoul, south korea
hear now emily dickenson, transferral of a gardened self
hear now edmond jabes, the book that is our pain is our home and is nowhere
hear now susan sontag, regarding the pain of others
hear now henry david thoreau, faith in a seed
hear now mei-mei bursenbrugge
hear now susan howe
hear now alice notley
hear now bernadette mayer
hear now hear now hear now hear now now nownownow hearhearhearearearear new ear
now, come closer, a near ear nearer to our ear
