TUESDAY:

Eabha Rose 
Sharon Frye is a poet from Northern Oklahoma who will be attending this year's Fermoy International Poetry Festival. She has published poems in the Irish journal "the first cut" (Issues 6 & 7), and in  "Between Earth and Sky" by Silver Bow Publishing, Canada. We found this short poem of Sharon's, beautifully read by Eabha Rose, and thought you might enjoy her work
Sharon's poem, "Antihero" is being translated into Portuguese for the Brazilian journal, "O Equador das Coisas!" and her poem "Risen Heroes" will be inscribed on a memorial sculpture dedicated to first responders, by sculptor Dean Thompson in Dallas, Texas.
Her photography is featured on the cover of the poetry book, "Our Patch" by Phillip Larrera of Sacramento, California.
Voice Aquiver is a small sample of her work and also demonstrates the potential which soundcloud offers for poets, especially when teamed with the performance abilities of an artist such as Eabha Rose. The poem is under two minutes long and we hope you enjoy …

WEDNESDAY: TRANSLATORS.


Translations - new magazine - and translation in London.
VerseJunkies are seeking editors to curate 'the world's first journal dedicated solely to the practice of intersemiotic translation - translation between mediums. While this is currently a hot topic in academic discussion, there is no platform which relates it directly to artists/directors/writers/musicians within their respective fields.

The content of VERSEJUNKIES includes scholarly articles and traditional translation alongside established modes of intersemiotic translation (i.e. ekphrasis). We seek to push the boundaries of the term ‘translation’ and welcome relevant media interpretations (film, music, visual arts, dance, writing) of the ‘source’ material posted on our site. 

VERSEJUNKIES is published quarterly with ‘original’ (source) work offered for translation on a rotating basis. For instance, the first issue features the poetry of Thailand’s Zakariya Amataya as the source work. For the second issue, we will be seeking interpretations of a piece from the Middle East selected by Leila Sadeghi.

We will be integrating theoretical and academic aspects of intersemiotic translation: as such, we are always looking for academic papers dealing with issues in intersemiotic translation. 

The traditional format of the print journal will not facilitate a publication with these multifaceted parameters. To circumvent the limitations of traditional publishing venues (solely print, solely media), I have elected to link both the domain name VERSEJUNKIES.COM with our YouTube platform VERSEJUNKIES (as well as other relevant social media networks) as possible venues for publication.

THURSDAY: CHEKOV.

Dan Gioia's essay on Chekov's Short stories in general and 'The Lady with the Pet Dog' in particular. 

Anton Chekhov's late stories mark a pivotal moment in European fiction–the point where nineteenth-century realist conventions of the short story begin their transformation into the modern form. The Russian master, therefore, straddles two traditions. On one side is the anti-Romantic realism of Maupassant with its sharp observation of external social detail and human behavior conveyed within a tightly drawn plot. On the other side is the modern psychological realism of early Joyce in which the action is mostly internal and expressed in an associative narrative built on epiphanic moments…..

FRIDAY:

Susan Sontag's Diary Excerpts - illustrated. 
The second edition now available.
Sontag on art and aesthetics.

'All aesthetic judgment is really cultural evaluation.' (9/3/1956)
http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/11/30/susan-sontag-on-art/




SATURDAY:

WERNER HERZOG AND CORMAC MC CARTHY - talk science and culture.

Physicist Lawrence M. Krauss suggests that science and art ask the same fundamental question: Who are we, and what is our place in the universe?
Over the next hour, Krauss is joined in his exploration of this question by the great filmmaker Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Encounters at the End of the World) and 2000 Pulitzer Prize winner Cormack McCarthy (The Crossing, The Road, No Country For Old Men). Much of their discussion revolves around Herzog’s latest film, the 3-D documentary The Cave of Forgotten Dreams, but they also address bottleneck theory, complexity science, the history of painting, and the upcoming rise of the machines.
