thanks. i am going to develop the statement in a forthcoming special 'oz' issue of the literary review (us) i am editing (i am a long way into it and can't leave it - i am also open to extra submissions).. i do not want to present it as an 'oz' thing as much as considering possible poetic/textual dialogues that might go on between the languages of the poets included. obviously the context has to be recognised, but the editorial will be deconstructive of the process as much as anything else. i attempted to do this with my prism editorial (which i believe is on my homepage), but will take this much further. as with prism, prose, drama, essays etc will also be included. helps break down more of these barriers. i also feel i should try to include some commentary on social and ecological issues. start to round these things out a little more. i stand by what i say, but feel contexts should be created/developed. linguistic disobedience! best, jk Cassie Lewis wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > > Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> > > Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 22:34:51 -0800 (PST) > > From: Cassie Lewis <[log in to unmask]> > > To: [log in to unmask] > > Subject: Thanks to poetryetc > > > > I just wanted to write a thanks to John Kinsella for listening > thoughtfully > > to yesterday's debate, not taking any of it personally, and for his > recent > > statement about the Aus situation/ limitations of 'national poetics'. > > > > I hope poetryetc and this humble list can continue to inspire/provoke > > discussion in each other. > > > > > > Cassie > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________________ > > Send a cool gift with your E-Card > > http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ > > > > _______________________________________________________ > Send a cool gift with your E-Card > http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/
