MONDAY:
The SAMUEL BECKETT page shared another great essay by Marjorie Perloff on the acoustic silence in Beckett's Embers. She writes that |
| Beckett 1971, courtesy of the SAMUEL BECKETT fb Page. |
'The Beckett who began to write radio plays in the mid-fifties was no stranger to the medium: in Roussillon, where he lived in hiding from 1942-45, the radio transmitter was the crucial information conduit for Resistance groups, and the BBC, which was to commission All That Fall (1956) and Embers (1959), its main source. Half a century later, as the Columbia Encyclopedia reminds us, radio is still primarily an information medium, a conductor of messages, whether news flashes, announcements of events, weather reports, and today the ubiquitous "sigalerts" that advise the driver about freeway conditions and traffic accidents even as they are taking place.
All the more reason, then, for the radio artist -and Beckett is surely one of the finest - to turn this information function, this relaying of messages from A to B, inside out.

TUESDAY:
To say that The Battersea Review is set to become one of the more important poetry magazines is surely an understatement. Take a look at the second edition which has just been published free and online and you'll see immediately that the standard of criticism, poetry and translation included is the highest. Edited by poet and critic Ben Mazer, it contains a huge selection of poetry and criticism by:
Poetry: Saskia Hamilton Adam Fitzgerald William Logan
Todd Swift Gerard Malanga James Reidel
Anand Thakore Mario Murgia Charles Bernstein
Daniel Evans Pritchard U.S. Dhuga
David Ward J. Robert Oppenheimer
Peter Behrman de Sinety and Petya Ivanova
New translations of Rilke's Russian poems by Philip Nikolayey
Criticism by:Geoffrey O'Brien; Robert Archambeau;
Marjorie Perloff; Josephine Weinberger
Adam Kirsch DM Stewart
Philip Nikolayev, David Meltzer
Ben Mazer Brendan Lorber
Bill Berkson and Rob Chalfen.
Philip Nikolayev's translations of Rilke's poetry is also introduced with a short piece on his Russian poetry. He writes that:
Even in Russia the reading public is barely aware of these early Russian texts by Rilke, though they can be found both in print and online. Literary Russians tend to see them as curious trifles, a great stranger’s attempts, failed though touching, at poetry in our robust and supple language. Their Russian, unmistakably a foreigner’s, exhibits errors of grammar, usage and scansion. Still, in a handful of lines Rilke manages to get the Russian right, and they ring true as lines of Russian verse.

WEDNESDAY
The Western Writer's Centre shared a piece on a third publication which will interested poets, translators and artists.
'The new issue of 'La Foret des Mille Poetes,' under the
editorial baton of the redoubtable René Varennes has been released.It includes visual art and discussion on a variety of topics outside poetry, as witness its Letters page.
Varennes's Editorial, while wishing all poets a great New Year, is again a plea for more poetry in the media, a greater public visibility for poetry, and wonders at the possibility of a Cultural Olympics.
A mere €30 subscription, the address is 13, avenue Reignier, 03310 Néris les Bains, France.
