Die Freiheit der Übersetzer
L&Poe Journal #03 Norbert Lange Variationen: Die Freiheit der Übersetzer Letzten Monat bin ich, über Rosmarie Waldrops schönes Buch über den französischen Dichter Edmond Jabès, gestolpert über ein Zitat von Maurice Blanchot über das Übersetzen: »Alle Übersetzer leben von der Differenz zwischen den Sprachen,… Continue Reading „Die Freiheit der Übersetzer“

Some serious admiration
Around the turn of the century, a poet working at the Poetry Society of America asked me to do her, and PSA, a favor, and meet with the PSA board president, a businessman named William Louis-Dreyfus. The idea was that his taste in poetry… Continue Reading „Some serious admiration“
Gestorben
Der New Yorker Lyriker Ted Greenwald starb gestern im Alter von 74 Jahren. Charles Bernstein schreibt bei Jacket2 von seinen “sublimen Echos.” In the 1970s Ted and I would meet in the afternoons and talk till night. We even did a recording of a couple of dozen hours of… Continue Reading „Gestorben“
The pataquerical imperative
Here Charles Bernstein is pitching poetry, pitching for poetry, and describing both the acoustic and visual pitch of poetry, and the field, the pitch, of poetry. He’s at once a shill, a carney, a huckster, a used-poem salesperson, a showman, a shaman, a promoter,… Continue Reading „The pataquerical imperative“
Rethinking of difficulty
Like poet Charles Bernstein, who addresses the myth of poetry’s difficulty in Attack of the Difficult Poems (2011), Jane Hirshfield argues for a rethinking of difficulty as a ‘‘path towards concentration’’. She notes Sartre called genius ‘‘not a gift, but the way a person… Continue Reading „Rethinking of difficulty“
Notes on Post-Conceptual Poetry
FELIX BERNSTEIN’S debut essay collection, Notes on Post-Conceptual Poetry, is not what you would expect from a 23-year-old, Brooklyn-based writer and artist. This is not a book of cosmopolitan post-internet lyric poetry. Instead, Notes begins with a long essay (including an appendix and footnotes) that… Continue Reading „Notes on Post-Conceptual Poetry“
Letter „H“
Henry Hills is in the process of making a film in and around the letter „H“ — and for that he is using my* homophonic translation of Harry (Heinrich) Heine’s „Die Lorelei,“ with images of the The Bronx Lorelei Foundation. I recorded a reading… Continue Reading „Letter „H““

Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins
As a poet interested in the social material of writing, I found a deep connection with the early paintings of Shusaku Arakawa and with Arakawa and Madeline Gins’s paradigmatic The Mechanism of Meaning (1971), as well as various early writings by Gins, particularly her essay on multidimensional architecture, which… Continue Reading „Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins“
Alle Dichter sind Amerikaner
Ausverkauft in Münster.Die Westfälischen Nachrichten berichten: Lyriker Thomas Kunst (Leipzig) begeistert mit trockenem Humor, unprätentiöser Erscheinung im orangen Kapuzenshirt und Coolness. Sein Text von der Suche eines Mannes, der so lange am Strand neben einer Frau herläuft, „bis wir uns lieben“, bleibt im Kopf,… Continue Reading „Alle Dichter sind Amerikaner“
Verantwortungslos
Bernstein und zwei Übersetzungsteams wurden am Sonntag mit dem Preis für Internationale Poesie der Stadt Münster geehrt. Jurymitglied Urs Allemann brauchte viele Fremdwörter, um in der Feierstunde im Erbdrostenhof das Werk des 1950 in New York geborenen Bernstein zu beschreiben. Der Poet ist eben… Continue Reading „Verantwortungslos“
