Dispatches from the House of Paine Poetics and Culinary Research Facility ...
Crazy freaking past few days ...
*Lisa Sisler came up from New Jersey, and she and Lea worked on getting their ducks in a row for the imminent release of their anthology, Knocking at the Door: Approaching the Other, from Birch Bench Press (an imprint of Write Bloody Publishing.) The book is gorgeous, and the poems more so. Very excited about this ...
*Lisa joined us last night to see the "Here & Now: Ephemera" show at Gallery 263 in Cambridge, hosted by the amazing Jade Sylvan. Absolutely captivating night of work intended to never be seen again, complete with ritual burning of the poems' only copies at the end. Great work by Jade, Tony Brown, Corrina Bain (who destroyed my heart with the knowledge that I'll never be able to just go to my bookshelf and read those poems again!), Nicole Terez Dutton (whom I can't believe I was completely unaware of beforehand) and everyone else involved, including a burlesque performance, stand-up comedy by a physicist and live coding by dawn Gabriel. Sheer genius. It had me wobbly by the end.
*The Radius torrent continues, with the first of our "Invented Forms" series by Robert Wynne, and the next installment of our namesake "Radius" feature, with Willie Perdomo, Rich Villar and Sean Dalpiaz. And still more to come ...
*I have a workshop coming up! I'll be running a session on "Reconciling With the Past Through Poetry," as part of Ballard Street Poetry Journal's series in collaboration with the Worcester Public Schools Nightlife Adult Education program. I actually don't know a whole lot of details as to how you register for the series and all that, but I'm told they're in here somewhere. I promise to provide more information when I know it. But, hey. I love Ballard Street, and I love public schools, so I'm just happy to help. But anyway, here's my session:
Beginners Poetry Workshop Details
Reconciling With the Past Through Poetry
Lead by Victor D. Infante
Date: Wednesday, March 16th
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Location: Forest Grove Middle School
The series starts next week, I believe, with a session by Lea. Other instructors, as I understand it, include Alex Charalambides, Emily Ferrara, Carle Johnson, and Sou Macmillan. (Information shamelessly stolen form The Poets' Asylum webpage. Because they know stuff.)
