Torin Jensen is a poet currently embroiled in a labyrinth of dreams, stage directions, indiscernible voices and the mis-diagnosed desires of the mouth. His blood runs Montanan but he grew up in the great city of Boise, a familiar place that continues to surprise.

GHOSTS & PROJECTORS is a poetry reading series curated by poet Megan Williams that brings together the page, slam, experimental, lyrical, cowboy, etc poets that all live in Idaho yet never seem to be invited to the same readings, connects community-based audiences with a broad range of established and local poets, and connects local and non-local poets by giving them the opportunity to share the stage.

Hyde Park Books is an independently owned and operated new and used bookstore that has delivered mystery, intrigue, and intellectual delight to Boise’s North End neighborhood for twenty-seven years.

GHOSTS & PROJECTORS is made possible by generous funding from the Boise City Department of Arts & History and Boise State University’s Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Program.

AND I'M also CONDUCTING A (Soma)tic Poetry Workshop in Boise on the 19th, details at THIS LINK

CELEBRATING BERN PORTER

2011-11-05T12:19:00.003-04:00

Bern Porter and Ecopoetics:

A Discussion with

CAConrad and Jena Osman

November 15, 2011

3:30pm – 5:00 pm

Temple Gallery, Tyler School of Art

Temple University

2001 N. 13th Street

On the north side of Norris Street between 12th and 13th Streets

(Cecil B. Moore Stop on the Broad Street Line)

The Temple Gallery will host a discussion of Bern Porter’s poetry and

its relationship to ecopoetics, followed by a found-making workshop.

Ecopoetics addresses the environment in all of its complexity; it

includes both the butterfly and the bulldozer. Although the term

“ecopoetics” didn’t exist when Bern Porter started writing poetry, it

is a term that now helps us to better understand his projects. Porter

started out as a scientist and worked on the Manhattan Project, which

created the first atomic bomb. After the bomb was detonated, he quit

his job and devoted his life to making art. He is perhaps best

remembered for his founds, which were spare collages that

recontextualized words one can find in everyday places like fashion

magazines or junk mail. During the course of this event, participants

will listen to Bern Porter's poetry (read by CAConrad), discuss

entropy and recycling in relation to Porter’s work, the idea of waste

as an essential component of energy, and the notion of permaculture.

Additionally, participants are asked to bring a non-precious piece of

paper with text (from a magazine or newspaper, or perhaps selected

randomly), which will be incorporated into a collective found and hung

in the Temple Gallery at the culmination of the workshop.

Jena Osman's latest book of poetry is The Network (selected for the

National Poetry series in 2009 and published by Fence Books). Other

books include An Essay in Asterisks and The Character. She co-edits

the ChainLinks book series with Juliana Spahr, and she teaches

creative writing and literature in the English Department at Temple.

You can read Osman’s essay Bern Porter: Recycling the Atmosphere HERE

CAConrad is a recipient of a 2011 Pew Fellowship in the Arts. He is

the author of A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon (Wave Books, 2012), The

Book of Frank (Wave Books, 2010), Advanced Elvis Course (Soft Skull

Press, 2009), Deviant Propulsion (Soft Skull Press, 2006), and a

collaboration with poet Frank Sherlock titled The City Real & Imagined

(Factory School, 2010). He has taught poetry at St. Mark's Poetry

Project, CUNY Graduate Center, Naropa University, Goucher College, and

elsewhere. Visit him online at THIS LINK

I've been invited to judge the Mad Hatters' poetry chapbook contest. This is the first time I've ever done such a thing, but I can assure you that it will be fair, and that I will read all of the manuscripts.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT that no one EVER contact ME for information about this contest in order to keep things completely fair. Instead please email the editors with questions at:
press@madhatarts.com

Submission guidelines, entry fee, and WHERE to submit can be found at THIS LINK

Thanks so much, and IF YOU ENTER and I don't pick your manuscript I understand you hating me. That sucks.

(Soma)tics at JUBILANT THICKET 6/12/11 -- 5pm

2011-06-09T11:57:00.004-04:00

(Soma)tic poetry EVENT, 6/12/11 in PHILADELPHIA

On Sunday, June 12th, 2011, at 5pm, The Jubilant Thicket Literary Series presents a celebration of (Soma)tics, featuring a reading & discussion by CAConrad, and films by Courtney Shumway.

CACONRAD is the son of white trash asphyxiation. His childhood included selling cut flowers along the highway for his mother & helping her shoplift.

COURTNEY SHUMWAY is a series of movements contained within a female body centered out of nowhere & existing forever tomorrow beside you. They were hungry so she fed them. 8. All at once. She is least relevant in the early morning & highly significant at any other time of day, unless the sun is up. She has gone mad with your waiting & fills herself with things untold. In spite of knowing better, she speaks constantly, resulting in her continued presence & frequent misgivings. She is deeply honored to bear, among other tragedies, the affliction of poet.

Please come. This happens, as ever, at The Walking Fish Theatre, 2509 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, at 5pm EST.

"In this frantic, routine-driven world we need freedom from regimented (poetry writing, and a healthy dose of walking the space between Soma (spirit) and Somatic (body). Using gemstones, trees, and the city itself, we will create deliberate, sustained physical manipulations to generate language to write."
