Crosshatxh series continues at Avol’s Books
Thanks again to Laurel Bastian for curating a wonderful reading series here in Madison. Crosshatxh now makes its home at Avol’s Books. I’ve posted videos from 3 readings last night.
Steel Wagstaff is a graduate student in English literature at the UW-Madison, where he studies 20th Century American poetry and environmental criticism. Watch
Marne Bruckner is a 19-year-old poet and spoken word artist who grew up in Washington Heights, NYC. She received a First Wave scholarship to the UW-Madison for her poetry and was a part of the 2010 UW-Madison CUPSI team. Watch
Rebecca Hazelton is in character here as Anne Sexton. Rebecca is the Jay C. and Ruth Hall Poetry Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Creative Writing Institute. Watch
Sterling and Laurel present new work
I enjoyed attending a reading presented by the UW-Madison Institute for Creative Writing.
Held at Avol’s Books downtown, last night’s program featured two writers.
Sterling HolyWhiteMountain is the 2010-2011 James C. McCreight Fiction Fellow at the wisconsin institute for creative writing, UW-Madison. He was born and raised in northwest Montana on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. He attended the University of Montana, where he majored in creative writing, and from which he accidentally graduated in 2005. He received his MFA from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop in 2010. After finishing his time as a Wisconsin fellow, he plans on returning to the rez.
Here’s his reading.
Laurel Bastian is the 2010-2011 Halls Emerging Artist Fellow at the wisconsin institute for creative writing, UW-Madison. She founded, coordinates, and teaches with the Writers in Prisons Project, produces and hosts the Crosshatxh Poetry series, and has work seasoning print and online journals (see links at laurelbastian.org). She is this year’s recipient of the Elizabeth Curry Prize in Poetry and two Pushcart nominations.
Here’s her reading.

E-Poetry 2011: Ten-year anniversary festival
E-Poetry [2011] International Emerging Literatures, Media | Arts & Digital Culture Festival
TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL
May 18-21, 2011, State University of Buffalo, New York
Special decennial foci: innovative / multicultural poetries, emerging younger artists & artists from developing countries
Four days of festival performances, exhibitions, artistic presentations of poetics statements, scholarly papers, talks, and celebration of creative, visionary, and imaginative poeisis at the cutting edge of the triumphant spirit of the arts in the digital age. The festival presents premier world class e-poetry, digital and media arts, multilingual poetics, dance, music, and other forms of avant-garde artistic language, media and scholarly practice. Also included will be a number of special pre-conference events, to be announced.
Now entering its second decade, E-Poetry is a renowned biennial international artistic gathering founded on dialog over emerging issues in digital, visual, sound, and language-based artistic practice. Its emphasis is on literary practice in an encompassing sense, i.e., the practice of thinking through engagement with the material aspects of media forms, the building of community, and the exchange of ideas across languages, borders, and ideologies. Rather than fetishizing “new form” as apparatus agent per se, it seeks to locate innovative artistic practice in its cultural, conceptual, and media milieu. Hence, if “e-poetry” is going to mean something more than communality with every digital household appliance and point to emergent artistic processes in a New Media age – inasmuch as it informs the digital – e-poetry can exist in any number of formats, including programmable, performance, visual, sound-based, conceptual, and book art … i.e., even on paper.
Videos from Avant Writing Symposium
I recorded a portion of the performances and readings at last week’s Avant Writing Symposium.
If you can get past the sometimes shaky camera work I think you’ll find a lot to enjoy:
Several clips of the Be Blank Consort in performance at OSU’s Urban Arts Space
Tzara in Oblivion performed by Camille Bacos and mIEKAL aND
Composition for Nine Voices and With Two Incidents by C. Mehrle Bennett
What Word Once Was, composed and performed by Geof Huth
A portion of Reid Wood’s performance piece “Don’t”
Guaniauiqui: What is the digital avant-garde? a talk by Loss Pequeňo Glazier
Reflections on the Avant Writing Symposium
I met some astoundingly creative people at the Avant Writing Festival last week at Ohio State U. Among them were several contributors to Wordsalad radio. I’ve posted photos and will post some video when time permits. Thank you, John M Bennett, for bringing us all together. Geof Huth has posted many thoughtful things at visualizing poetics; others have too, I’m sure.
