Baroque Threads by Donald Wellman
from Notebook: Cuaderno de Costa Rica
Donald Wellman teaches cultural studies and writing at Daniel Webster
College. Fields, a selected poems, spanning twenty years of work, appeared
in 1995 (Light and Dust). Wellman has translated from French, German, and
Spanish. Currently he is working with the Spanish poet Antonio Gamoneda.
As editor of O.ARS, a series of anthologies devoted to postmodern poetics
and practices, he derived personal satisfaction from the use of
punctuation a la dada. The selection here is from his Notebook: Cuaderno
de Costa Rica. His poetry engages emerging identities from an ethnographic
perspective. These projects include Diario mexicano, Oaxaca, and Prolog
Pages. Excerpts from these projects can be found in various on-line and
print media: Eratio Postmodern Poetry, There, and Fascicle among others.
His essay, "Creeley's Ear," appeared in Jacket Magazine 31. His "Prose on
Uxmal" will be found in the current Absent Magazine. "Your Sleep is a
Closed Almond," from Yvan Goll's Traumkraut, appears in Circumference 5
(Fall 2006). Other translations from Goll appear in the current Calque.
Spread the word. Far and wide,
William Slaughter
