Poetry Night @ The Yurt February 21, 2014 Angela Hume, Carrie Hunter, Claiborne McDonald, Eric Sneathen, Nich Malone, and Zack Haber

AH

Medicate the withdrawal of history
diffusely social
to make the body more bearable
beyond the canopy's blot
morning's dehiscence

from separate bodies
     we were the limit
where does the bird end
lodged like yesterday's sex.
Like a tear on the skin
     that does not end.
Hooooo-se (who's) estrogen
all the windows clanging shut
I will fidelity
a temporality of the middle is

CM

To each its own deluge
& the pools cannot be reached by air tongues
each to an each
an undecaying house of planks
chili salt body

ZH

So fetish yourself
the echoes stiffen
we die and we die
     and the echoes loosen

ES or NM

the reoccupying memories of our bodies
     I realize I can't sleep without a blanket
common property is arousing

NM or ES

and arguing about verb tenses
a mere helix shell

Quiet Lightning Book Launch: Zack Haber + Tupelo Hassman, Amy Berkowitz, Carrie Hunter, Stephen D. Gutierrez, Dan Sanders and Stella Peach music April 7, 2014

The violin’s vibrato the fire in the street

The musician doubles

Only the i’s lowercased

The line of smoke you shouldn’t walk through.

Wanting to tell a lie but being prevented.

—

blind apple freeze hole patch

sugar so as to ruin it.

—

The mountains don’t care 

The aperture the deluge

The body briefly lent

Rain comes from where I come from — Lindsey Boldt

Ears of the tree

Lets all do Turners like Christ or Nat Turner

As if the market had a heart

—

Mayhem & hilarity

I’m just giving you a bad time but go on.

As I’ve been told, I’m easy to talk to.

If I’m talking to you I’m going to pay attention to you.

The woman is physically extremely stoic.

Environmental Poetics in the Risk Society: Angela Hume and James Sherry March 18, 2014

AH

On endocrinology.
One might almost think that nothing was wrong.
Non-negotiable contingency.
Sub-social risk theory.
The concept of the threshold.
Risk is ubiquitous, the threshold does not exist.
Touch manifested as symptom.

JS

Against one model alone
The root cause of global warming is desire.
Resist the urge to remove contradiction. Inclusive hierarchy.
The flower or the shrub
color or the shape
External cognition
I don't have this discourse.

(They're living them but we're naming them)

Hearts Desire Reading Series: Ted Rees, Carrie Hunter & Divya Victor March 15, 2014

TR

The animal reconstituting itself

in red neon

a hell we must affirm

in mausoleum savage

forgettable identities

towards the banality of structure

a more palatable invasion.

Turn them off its gross

the rope from hell 

hemoglobin (from?)

hemoglobin

shafting byons

glopt skin

liquefaction guarantees

estuarian silt

Further tinkering with downy (widowy) things

The best Sonic Youth member

hermatic pseudo sea

biblically nameless

kelpy pulsations

severing the valley

jaw vibrating allegro

back pats contortion

portends fungus

aromatic rings necessitates

how sharp the shears

and antiquation

delirium sits on my face

unforgiven crystalline rose

the particle conjuries

unicode attempts

(a millay of)

stone and spiderwebs

jism all over my tusk

dihedral cumulous severance

DV

The same week I decided to trim my eyelashes.

A cat because its soft.

You’re kissing the TV again.

Small bay birds.

And then I would eat you.

From now on all your scars will be of your own making.

An attempt to collect all my moles to make a molehill.

As the damp makes them drop to pieces. 

Woolsey Heights presents Alan Bernheimer, Jean Day, Jason Morris, February 15, 2014

I don't follow football but I'm curious.

You will always be the object/subject.

Never felt inherited desperation.

Everything becomes so likeness.

Life is a trigger warning.

I will hurt for you.

Polyphony in all the right places.

Are you really a doctor?

Have you been crying?

anthropomorphic bowing

steel-cut edge

shirt mea terra

in the blue veins of a dry

chirp unheard

I found myself

of touch they are

wheels wheel

don’t belong on the map.

One Ravel.

Copying is hoard and

attention to sky

tendon could survive

her late crown

on primitive nouns

by prior arrangement

how to work the clock

copulations of extra pairs

to my facilities

but not apposite

everything begins with -re

watching others read

no time in man years

Has anyone seen Hermes?

And after that it is all open water

woman who cannot discern when she is loved

Yul the second

undiscovers solitude.

the unironic vocative

“you can do the ragged thing well”

“You can tell its fashion because its unzipped.”

BE ABOUT IT presents: Rauan Klassnik, Erica Lewis, Kimberly Kim, Carrie Hunter February 7, 2014

The relation of the past has nothing to do with memory.
Everyone is a heart breaker.
We are not this dance but that one.
The difference between jam & jelly.

The glass delusion
believed she was made of cork.
An Abstract heaven.
Everything is distant.
Let me start again.
Dictionary of the visible.
More like a mongoose or a mink than a fox.

Don't wear it, but use it, somewhat (slightly) rectangular, not of any particular color, American, but not a particular region.
This is the one true thing that he said to me.
There are no errors only
epiphanies were so common in our lives.

Lana Turner Glamour Reading January 26, 2014 Ang, Morrison, Joron, Spahr, Hillman, O'Brien, Warren, Palmer, Levin, Clover

The dead should keep their pronouns.
Time passes on clit or cock.
Begin a sequence every time a bell resounds.
I stick my head in it I lose my coat.
The dancer and her double.
Only when we can say everything at once.
Like an evacuation of vowels.
