Identifier: CC-30970-32428
Scope and Contents Ivan Arguelles provided an introductory essay and Jim Leftwich an interview of Jake Berry dealing with the interpretation of this second in a series of epic poems. Both the manuscript of this poem and its first part are held by the Sackner Archive.Jack Foley on Alsop Review web site provided the following review: From virtually all perspective, early Greek philosopher to twentieth-century specialist, there is agreement that artistic creativity and inspiration involve, indeed require, a dipping into rational or irrational sources while maintaining ongoing contact with reality and "life at the surface." The degree to which individuals can, or desire to, "summon up the depths" is among the more fascinating individual differences. Many highly creative and accomplished writers, composers, and artists function essentially within the rational world, without losing access to their psychic "underground." Others, the subject of this book, are likewise privy to their unconscious streams of...

Its message is both dark and luminous and is a visionary work summoning "liberation in all its forms."ue Walker Internet: Brambu Drezi: Words that define liberation, that are beyond boundaries, that testify to the genius of Jake Berry. Brambu Drezi: a Wittgensteinian rendering of: "We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all. But of course there is then no question left and just this is the answer." Brambu Drezi is an answer. It is without definition; it is a master poem, three books in one, a [dis]connected process, experiential musicology, a study in sound, line, and beat and flow and genesis of what has been and is, collated into an Eliotic time...

Broadside of the Month Club: Clams!!. No.9/Sep / Buddy Rich., 2005

 Item
Identifier: CC-48609-69641
Scope and Contents

Buddy Rich (1917-1987) was considered one of the best jazz drummers of all time. He also led a big band. Although Rich was usually helpful and friendly, he had a short temper. In many instances, he took advantage of the respect he commanded. While he threatened many times to fire members of his band, he seldom did so, and for the most part he lauded his band members during television and print interviews. Rich's temper, mercurial attitude and imposing personality are attested to in secret recordings members of his band made of some of tantrums on tour buses and backstage. These recordings, long circulated in bootleg form, have done much to fuel the reputation of Rich's personality. The tapes were popular with comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David who used his foul language almost verbatim. This broadside is a printing of one such example. Note that one cardboard folder houses all the Broadsides of the Month. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
