Night classes

Working at night means I get up, drink coffee, read poetry, do yoga, read some socialist shit in Jacobin, meditate, take a shower, listen to some socialist talk on YouTube, make lunch, pour too much garam marsala into my stir fry, grade, do a little bit of philosophy homework (listen to an online lecture), go to bi-rite for a sandwich, leave early to fill up my tires with air(light is still on), listen to Caribou in the car in preparation for the show tonight!

if I were rich I'd have a desk in every room and they'd all have different categories

GA

The I was fore
under the treelike.
It uttered circles.
A megaphoned whisper.
Study of the vanished.
The copula on stilts.
Where the continents slough.
A speech act in the ladles.

KK

Freedom flaps
reducing you to splinters
Kings to Queens.
We're duplicating all the functions you used to.
Some ancestor of K but less Kafkaesque.
All royalist humbug is all it is.
Marnie and the monotheists.
God had been made man.
The other attribute is to mise en scene.

BS

I'm going to start with a poem.
by what was left behind.
     exchanging ong for som
resonator, Sundays, when time told bells.
Li Po translation called Oulipo.
erasure, the song, sung.
Truth bends when you hum.
Trouble the sea for a song.
Stop writing when I start to hear what he's doing with vowels. Insane vowels. Everywhere.
A bridge of magpies.

BB

[For whoso list to hunt, casually]
Oh sigh into winter.
One hitch 7
The beaten path once beaten will meet
interdiction feel
In poetry too we all face forward.
And let stand a syllogism.
Contempt stirring devotion.
This is the shore of the worst thing possible.
We saved the wrong thing.
The bridge ethically dubious documentary.
Crisis apparition.
An Idaho of unstory.

LM

Remember Cody's.
waltz occupy doubt
The first drum circle.
Debt was not a crime.
Walz.
Autonomy automizes.
Not losing is not winning.
Mughsot or something gold.
Fact as chance.
Reverse allegory.
Watching what continues to decay.
Boardgames appear and must be played to the end.

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.
