Fin de Siècle
Three plays by Leslie Scalapino, with music for five voices and small ensemble
Fin de Siècle is Sarah Dougher’s musical interpretation of a set of three experimental poem-plays by renowned American poet Leslie Scalapino. The poems form an abstract narrative of war, labor, and class struggle—a visionary manifestation of the poet’s passionate humanism. Structured as a set of emotive, melodic songs, Dougher’s piece weds video projection and vocal performance with an ensemble of piano, violin, cello, trumpet, trombone and percussion. The work embraces Scalapino’s challenging use of language through a richly textured score, and echoes Scalapino’s hybrid practice, inhabiting a musical space between art song and pop. Fin de Siècle is an ambitious synthesis of Dougher’s celebrated folk-rock solo music and choral compositions.
Commissioned by the estate of Leslie Scalapino.

In Aporia: The Annual Akilah Oliver Memorial Reading
The annual Akilah Oliver Memorial Reading honors the memory of Lang professor Akilah Oliver, a radical poet, feminist, and activist. As the first of an annual reading series, this reading will feature the work of Oliver's contemporaries Julian Brolaski, Rachel Levitsky and Lauren Nicole Nixon, along with Oliver's former students Erik Freer, Karl Leone and Kaley Foley.
Location: Lang Cafe, 65 West 11th Street; New York, NY
Map
Rachel Levitsky is the author of Under the Sun (Futurepoem 2003), NEIGHBOR (UDP 2009) and the forthcoming novel,The Story of My Accident is Ours (Futurepoem 2011 or 2012). She is also the author of seven or eight chapbooks, most recently a prose work, Renoemos (Delete Press 2010). Levitsky teaches Writing and Literature at Pratt Institute, Naropa University’s Summer Writing Program, Poets House and Bard Prison Initiative. She is a member of Belladonna* Collaborative—a hub of feminist avant-garde literary action. Four of her mini-essays on Confinement can be found online. With Christian Hawkey and a bunch of their students, she recently opened The Office of Recuperative Poetics, a mobile installation of cultural recollection and reanimation. |
Julian Talamantez Brolaski is the author of gowanus atropolis (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2011) and several chapbooks. Advice for Lovers is forthcoming from City Lights in spring 2012. Julian lives in Brooklyn where xe is an editor at Litmus Press and plays country music with Juan & the Pines. New work is on the blog hermofwarsaw. |
Lauren Nicole Nixon is a Brooklyn-based artist representative and poet. Nixon holds an M.A. in Arts Politics from NYU and a B.A. in Dance and Culture/Media Studies from The New School. Recent and forthcoming work is published in Bone Bouquet, The Tulane Review, apt, 491, Jelly Bucket, No, Dear and In Posse. She is a Pushcart Prize nominee. |
Erik Freer is an undergraduate student at The New School in the dual degree program pursuing a BFA from Parsons the New School for Design in Communication Design and a BA from Eugene Lang College the New School for the Liberal Arts in Writing. At Parsons his focus is on Information, Print, and Typography and at Lang his focus is on Poetry and Play writing, with a minor in Japanese. Erik possesses a deep interest in ideas of mapping (or un-mapping) and the visual representation of information. Erik dedicates his spare time to any and everything cultural and creative he can produce and experience. |
Kailey Foley is a poetry major in her third year at Lang. She resides and works in Bushwick, Brooklyn, which is often detrimental to her health if not instrumental to her writing. Her favorite poetry includes that of Charles Bukowski and the female Language poets. She spends most of her time composing 90's power-hour playlists and thinking about syntax. Kailey has had pieces published in Voice and Moth Mouth literary magazines and online at Spillway publications. Cool, whatever. |
Karl Leone is a junior at Eugene Lang College of The New School and is honored to be taking part in this fall’s reading honoring his dear friend, mentor, and teacher Akilah Oliver. As an actor, Karl’s New York stage credits include “Marat/ Sade,” “Pride and Prejudice,” “Laramie Project,” and “Undermilkwood. 4 Recent film credits include “Keep the Lights On” dir. Ira Sachs and “Going Out” dir. Leah Samuel. Most recently, Karl has been concentrating on the genre of poetic drama and is developing a play called “Our Aporia” influenced on the writings of Oliver’s “A Toastin the House of Friends.” |

Curating Literature: Five Editors of Literary Anthologies Discuss their Process
Ravi Shankar, Cole Swensen, Pireeni Sundaralingam, Jeffrey Thomson, Jen Hofer
Anthologizing, derived from the Greek word for flower-gathering, has become a verb of great import in literary communities. Whether in an attempt to create a canon, to shape a pedagogical tool, or to form a compendium that preserves something essential while opening new space for critical inquiry, the reasons behind anthologizing are manifold. Join five editors of important anthologies, from the international in scope to ones that include audio and translation, as they discuss their processes.

performance MAGGIE BENNETT, REBECCA BROOKS, REBECCA DAVIS, URSULA EAGLY, MELISSA GUERRERO, BELINDA HE, KAZU NAKAMURA, JEREMY PHEIFFER & ENRICO WEY
PARK explores how nature consumes itself to regenerate - and how humans construct and consume it through the creation of parks. This site-specific performance/installation is the culmination of a rarely-awarded artist residency at the site of Freshkills Park, a 2,200 acre emergent park being developed by the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation over the next 30 years. The park's site is the Fresh Kills Landfill, formerly the world's largest landfill which was operated by the NYC Department of Sanitation for 50 years and closed in 2001.
A short bus tour of the Freshkills Park site, with explanation of the site's engineering, infrastructure, and ecology, precedes this performance. All attendees must board the tour bus at the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island at 9:30am. Attendees coming from Manhattan must take the 9am ferry from Manhattan in order to make this bus. Buses will provide transportation from the ferry terminal on Staten Island to the park site and return attendees to the ferry terminal by 1pm.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Rethinking Poetics Conference
"Rethinking Poetics." is the sense that the practices of poetics are in danger of becoming pro forma and that a focused, skeptical examination of basic assumptions will be most useful. Terms continue to be used routinely in circumstances that increasingly call for nuanced or even fundamental change. What does "materiality of the signifier" mean in the era of data mining or platform instability? What does "news" mean? How useful are current periodizations? Such questions can be multiplied.
Given that new questions need to be raised and old certainties troubled, the goal is to have a conference dedicated to articulating what most needs to be rethought, what familiar formulations seem increasingly inadequate, what new directions seem best to pursue.
There will be a series of plenary-panels, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, with four or five speakers each taking 10-12 minutes for themselves, leaving half the session for more general discussion. There will be a panel chair to moderate discussion, but there will be no introductions.
Participants include Rachel Zolf, Rodrigo Toscano, Jennifer Scappettone, Brent Hayes Edwards, Lytle Shaw, Juliana Spahr, Kenny Goldsmith, Erica Hunt, Alan Golding, Monica de la Torre, Andrew Schelling, Bruce Andrews, Michael Taussig, Joan Retallack, Rachel DuPlessis, K. Silem Mohammad, Jena Osman, Craig Dworkin, Elizabeth Willis, Barrett Watten, Rob Fitterman, Jonathan Skinner, Marjorie Perloff, Sherwin Bitsui, Mark Nowak, Judith Goldman, C. S. Giscombe, Steve Evans, Stephanie Young, Lisa Robertson, Paul Stephens, Rob Halpern, Jeff Derksen, Ben Friedlander, Joshua Clover, Michael Taussig, Astrid Lorange, James Livingston, Jeff Nealon, Richard Doyle, Tan Lin, Tonya Foster, Matthew Hofer, John Melillo, Susan Howe, and Charles Bernstein.
Conference costs for the 3-day conference:
$50: university faculty; $20: student & unaffiliated; $10: 1-day entrance.
Location: Columbia University, New York, NY
For more information, including conference registration, please visit the Rethinking Poetics Blog.
Highlighted panel:
Poetic Composition: Tools and Materials
Panelists: Jennifer Scappetone, Erica Hunt, Brent Edwards, Charles Bernstein, Susan Howe
A starting point: assume abundant materials, the everyday, everywhere you look, even when you are not looking but listening, as you sleep, under the bed, every where. Assume: “mind is shapely,” tool driven mammals, no legs, two legs, three legs and no legs again, the facts of the matter and their spin, inevitable transformation. What do you begin to make of it, as a poet, a reader and writer? One approach suggests an “ontological pluralism,” the many worlds that co-exist side by side, in relation to the brutal facts, “the material character of the signifier,” a pluralism that limns the imaginary and the utopian, claimable through artistic diligence. Your thoughts? |
