http://markstatman.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Friday, January 29, 2010. Wednesday night at the Tobenski-Algera series opener. Quite good. Dennis sang beautifully, a full program, quite something. Of course I was pleased to hear the NY premiere of echoe. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. And to see words like pismire and kelson! In other news: because of the Tobenski/Algera series tomorrow night ( tobenskialgera.com. And Williams...

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Sunday, February 28, 2010. A day spent enjoying the slightly warming weather by walking through the slush. Spent looking at the hockey (nice OT gold win for Canada), U.S. gets the silver). Spent grading papers. Spent writing poetry and more Hinojosa work. The weekend slowly ends. All was not lost. Labels: Jose Maria Hinojosa. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Moe Green Poetry Hour.

Poet In New York: yesterday long, today short

http://markstatman.blogspot.com/2010/03/yesterday-long-today-short.html

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Sunday, March 7, 2010. Yesterday long, today short. A long blog yesterday on why no nook, no Kindle. Then a friend of mine said to me today that maybe I would learn to read differently. Maybe. And I can see that happening. And I can hold out for the iPad. Today was a beautiful end of winter hint of spring day. I graded papers. I typed two poems (out of notebooks. But I cant sa...

Poet In New York: Spring Break 2010 (2)

http://markstatman.blogspot.com/2010/03/spring-break-2010-2.html

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Monday, March 15, 2010. Spring Break 2010 (2). Two long days in a row of writing/revising. Work in particular on Hinojosa and today finished the bulk of the revisions. Monumental. Exhausting. I have about fifteen new poems from the last book ( Sangre en la libertad. By Bolaño, some Melville, some Elizabeth Bishop, I am feeling very literary in the early spring break days.

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Saturday, March 13, 2010. Spring Break 2010 (1). Pablo was talking about the question of a crisis of representation in his own work. My realization is that he could think about this not as a crisis of but a journey of and from and toward. Other things came up, one of those great long conversations, mainly about poetry but with enough basketball thrown in to make it worthwhile.

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Friday, July 17, 2009. An e-mail from Dick Lourie with suggestions for three poems that will appear in the fall Hanging Loose. Most of which seemed pretty dead-on. I've incorporated those into the Tourist at a Miracle. Manuscript which he now has and which he begins copy-editing. He's good at this, very good, in fact, and I'm interested in what happens next. In the Tour, the G...

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Saturday, March 6, 2010. On my nook and kindle decision. But that presented my first moment of confusion. I discovered that my own books, while available as paper were not available from Barnes and Noble for the nook. That only Poet in New York. Still, all in the realm of the possible for me. Because over time, right? And that was it. A sudden realization. There are ma...But t...

Poet In New York. Here we talk about poetry, teaching, politics, new york and everything else in the world that actually matters. Sunday, April 12, 2009. Got off the panel proposal for ALTA in Pasadena in November. The idea is one of poets who have been lost from translation. Pablo on Padilla, Stephen Kessler on Aleixandre, Don Bogen on Bobrowski, and me on Hinojosa. Should know in a month or so if it's accepted. Not writing much lately, but thinking a lot which is a good sign (as opposed to? Donna Brook...
