Concrete poetry

Scope and Contents Linda Hutcheon (Amazon.com): While Canadian poetic practices have steadily pluralised since the early 1960s, the poetry review has remained stubbornly constant. You Must Work Harder to Write Poetry of Excellence is a critical, and at times hilarious survey of reviews of innovative Canadian poetry in English since 1961. What is at stake in the reviewing of poetry? What fantasies are inherent to the practice? How is poetry itself produced in the reviewing of poetry? Why has the reviewing of poetry remained largely invisible to self-reflexive critique? These are some of the many questions You Must Work Harder to Write Poetry of Excellence dares to ask in its query to determine if poetry reviewers can claim to have the authority the imagine they have over their chosen subject. As a retort to the retrograde trend that is poetry reviewing in Canada, You Must Work Harder to Write Poetry of Excellence is the first book to detail the production and structure of an "aesthetic conscience"...

You You / Saroyan, Aram., 1965

Item

Identifier: CC-58787-65153

Scope and Contents

his image was printed by Brice Marden. Saroyan received a $5,000 grant from NEA to produce this print and FOUR other minimalist, concrete poems. This grant prompted William Proxmire, senator from Wisconsin, to award his Golden Fleece Award to the National Endowment for the Arts as one of the most outrageous examples of slap-your-forehead misappropriations. In his book "an/thology of pwoermds" Geof Huth writes the following: "I began to write pwoermds after becoming entranced by Saroyan's eyeye. The simple beauty of that poem haunted me, even though (and maybe because) the poem began as a typographical error of Saroyan's and it took a friend of his to point out to him its signficance (Solt, Concrete Poetry, 57)." This print was redone in 1989 as a silkscreen orint in 1989 in an edition of 150 with a priceof $1,000 on the internet. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
