Mipo Interview with Adam Fieled: November 2009

from Spider Vein Impasto: Gun and Knife

Spider Vein Impasto was one of Juliet Cook's singular, hand-crafted print journals in the late Aughts. I weighed in, in this particular collection, with Gun and Knife, which later showed up in the 2010 Mipo chapbook Returns. The dedication to John Tranter suggested itself to me because Tranter's sense of humor, expressed in his work, is an intriguingly dark one, and this one turned out to be dark, too.

Apparition Poem #1488: The Seattle Star: January 29, 2015

Truck: Cheltenham: Trove

Another Trove/Treasure Trove moment: though they happen not to be elegies, these two stalwart Apparition Poems appeared in the '12 Blazevox ed. of Cheltenham, and also in Halvard Johnson's now-Troved Truck in the fall of '11.

The Helios MSS on Trove

The mid-Teens arrival of The Helios Mss was a quiet one. It issued from Raymond Farr, who'd founded, among other things, Blue & Yellow Dog Press, which by 2018 had published two editions of my Equations. The Helios Mss, however, was picked up by Trove/NLA, which has given it some extra life & juice. My two NLA entries from The Helios Mss consist of a late-era Apparition Poem, to be included in later editions of Apparition Poems, and a Chicago-themed sonnet from Something Solid. Thanks again, Ray.

At the Train Station

At the Train Station, by Vlad Pogorelov (seen here at a reading in Cali), now up on P.F.S. Post, is a poem I knew and enjoyed in the Nineties. Vlad released the poem as part of the chapbook collection Derelict, which was slanted towards a multi-media presentation, and which appeared in '98. 

There was a night in early 2000, when I got up and read the poem at an open mike reading at the Painted Bride in Philly. It was an homage to Vlad, who'd left Philly by then and migrated to San Fran (he's now based in Rocklin, near Sacramento). Genevieve Walsh, who I was with that night, congratulated me for having "balls of steel" for getting up in front of Kevin O'Neill and the rest and reading such a provocative piece. 

Vlad is now finally about to release a second edition of Derelict, and as I re-read it, remembering other old favorites like No. 105, all my memories of the 90s Philly poetry scene come rushing back.

Viaje Entre Las Luces: Avant-Jazz Pt. 2

Viaje Entre Las Luces, by Vince El Mejor, extends the avant-jazz range of Speck and Stone the Devil with some incantatory Sun Ra influence. The sample used this time is from Opera Bufa (Opera Bufa #38).

Stone the Devil: Avant-Jazz

Speck, on CC Mixter, used some sound-samples from This Charming Lab to build this avant-jazz piece, Stone the Devil.
