A procrastinating weekend webcrawl brought up Robbie Dewhurst's
enlightening paper
on Hannah Weiner's
Country Girl (which, thanks to
Patrick Durgin
, you can read in typescript
here
) and the news-to-me that Weiner's newly discovered last manuscript,
The Book of Revelations, is now
up on her home page
at the Electronic Poetry Center. It's tough reading online, scanned from notebooks written in pencil and crossed into overlapping strips, but if you've got more than a weekend surf session to burn, there it is for the electronic ages. "speak so as no one will listen" says page 6, not knowing so many no ones would.
Robbie's post also got me wanting to spend time with
Page, which he describes as Weiner's
Behind the State Capitol. Would like to read that too, if I could find it cheap and complete; the sections from it in Wieners's
Selected are the Tibetan LSD of postmodern American poetry. More weekends, please.
