[Apologies for cross-posting]
This is by way of very preliminary notice that next year's SoundEye
Festival in Cork will run July 4-10. That's a week instead of the
usual weekend, doe to the fact that Cork (a small city or large town,
depending on whether you were born there or not), on the south coast
of Ireland, will be the European Union's Capital of Culture for 2005.

(Incidentally, if you can manage to get any good out of this, the
official website, you're doing better than me.)
Due to various administrative cockups with funding, many of our more
interesting and ambitious plans have been thrown into disarray or
utterly kiboshed, but the Festival will happen, and even apart from
the lineup of poets we're providing, you might find Cork an
interesting place to be next summer.
SoundEye comes at the hingepoint between two other projects, both of
considerable literary relevance:
The Cork Caucus project, which aims to implement, however briefly,
some of Beuys' ideas for a free university or open academy:

And Simon Cutts, of Coracle Press, is running the Vinyl Project, with
participation from Susan Howe, Christian Bok, Kyle Schlesinger, and
Thomas A Clarke, in a venue which we'll be sharing with him for the
first week of his project:

Need I say more?
Best,
