The All-Union Day of the Shock Worker / Torres, Edwin., 2001

 Item
Identifier: CC-45985-48691
Scope and Contents This is the first edition of the book that is now in its third printing. Publishers Weekly: "AYYY: soy bilingual... pero BILINGUALISSIMO!... de nada!" screams the 18-point sans serif font of "A Nuyo-Futurist's Manfestiny," the Blast-like final section of this frenetic yet elegantly conceived collection. A deft recombination of digital media and information arts, mock multiculturalist imperatives, performance and sound poetry and post-Language subjective lyricism, Shock Worker is one more unexpected twist in the career of Torres, a New York poet who was once associated with the performance poets of the Nuyorican cafe. While some of the poems resemble exploded bilingual eye charts designed by El Lissitzsky or astrological diagrams for deviant religions, this book has lovely quiet moments; the delicate lyric "Separatist Invasion" is a little mantra against the alienated sensibility: "There have been a thousand sightings of people I used to know. Separations of copies of who it is they...

The Arcanes / Hirschman, Jack A. ; Artaud A ; Falk A ; Pasolini P ; Meltzer D ; Iagulli S., 2006

 Item
Identifier: CC-45322-47509
Scope and Contents

This book was edited by Raffaela Marzano and Sergio Iagulli. The latter contributed one introductory essay and David Meltzer the other. These long poems describing the 'hidden" encompass a period of 1972 to 2006. They began from Hirschman's reading of a work allegedly written by le Comte de St. Germain, a noted mystical personage whose legend is that since the 18th century he reppears ever young even to this day. The word "arcane" is derived from the Latin word Arcanum which means a place where occult or esoteric books or objects are preserved. The forms of the Arcanes are developed from sudden flashes of thoughts to a phrase or event to manifest the inner voices that Hirschman hears. A drawing by Hirschman accompanies 100 copies of this book (Sackner Archive copy). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
