Internet: THE POLITICS OF POETIC FORM: POETRY AND PUBLIC POLICY is a series of essays from a discussion that occurred at the New School for Social Research in New York. The discussion mines the relationship between poetic composition and political expression. Poetry's relationship to public policy typically has a questionable margin of relation. Not only does this volume posit that poetry is a dynamic medium for the consideration of political ideas, it focuses on the ideological weight specific formal innovations bring to poetry. Some of the writers include Jerome Rothenberg, Ron Silliman, Susan Howe, Nathaniel Mackey and Charles Bernstein. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This book celebrates ten years of Granary Press and the independent publications of Steven Clay. Charles Bernstein contributed a forward and Steven Clay wrote an introduction. Bernstein writes, "At Granary, books are not neutral containers but are invested with a life of their own, conceived as objects first and foremost, entering the world not as the discardable shell of some other story but piping their own tunes on their own instruments. Nothing is taken for granted - the binder is as much a star as the printer or writer. The design is an extension of (not secondary to) the content, just as the content is an extension of the design. For a book, a Granary Book, is never about delivering information in the most expeditious form." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This magazine is a contemporary Russian photography publication. This issue features a photograph of Rimma Gerlovin on the cover and an interview of the Gerlovins. They indicate that their intricate photographs are made with multiple exposures in a 4" x 5" view camera rather than manipulations using Photoshop. The photographs are made without assistants and a mood is achieved by playing Baroque music, mostly by J.S. Bach, as they work. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
