See For Yourself~Poets of Babel’s 1st Anniversary Videos
It took me a while, perhaps too long, but I have still abided by my old rule of sharing “before the next event,” which will be next Monday, June 24th. Instead of telling you how it was, I’m just going to let you listen for yourself. It’ll be almost like you didn’t miss a thing.Continue reading “See For Yourself~Poets of Babel’s 1st Anniversary Videos”
Merħba bikom, Poets of Babel
Originally posted on antoine cassar:
Back in the summer of 2009, I came across a fascinating book called The Atlas of Languages, edited by Bernard Comrie and Maria Polinsky. I spent several days enraptured by its wealth of knowledge, colourfully presented in photographs, charts, maps, fact snippets, word lists and anecdotes, short stories and traditional…
Poets of Babel’s Rebirth: 1 Year Anniversary at the Jerusalem Cinematheque and Beyond
Poets of Babel is metamorphosing into a larger, less familiar creature. It started in my home with only two rules: (1) Read in any language as long as there was someone who understood (bring a friend!) and (2) Everyone participates. I had to break rule number one very early on. Sometimes there was only oneContinue reading “Poets of Babel’s Rebirth: 1 Year Anniversary at the Jerusalem Cinematheque and Beyond”
National Poetry Month
It’s National Poetry Month! How will you celebrate? Poets.org has some ideas here. Me personally, I will ‘celebrate’ by organizing Poets of Babel’s 1st Anniversary celebration at the Jerusalem Cinematheque! There will be a film related to poetry (we decided on Howl), poetry readings in different languages, and music (I’m working on jazz with anContinue reading “National Poetry Month”
“Future Perfect,” My First Poetry Slam
About a month ago, I did my first poetry slam and first spoken word performance on stage. I was petrified from the moment I agreed to do it…but I knew that I had to. I’ve wanted to for so long. And even after actually doing it and feeling like I could do it again andContinue reading ““Future Perfect,” My First Poetry Slam”
On “How to Avoid Work: A 1949 Guide to Doing What You Love” & a Response to Mother
You know you’re in the right place when you just glow from it. Being in the flow, in the zone, it has as many names as the names of god. I have a firm belief in the gifts given to each, in the muses that come and go at their own will, in the artContinue reading “On “How to Avoid Work: A 1949 Guide to Doing What You Love” & a Response to Mother”

“In Media Res” or a ModPoetic Collage: On a Vision, a Course, a Liberation, a Block, and a “Way” to “Eunoia”
*(Note to reader: This entire piece is an experiment. It is an exercise in “how,” that is, it’s not so much what I am saying but how I am saying it. I try to explain what ModPo has taught me by using it, drawing on elements from proto-modernism, the edge of modernist poetics, found language, spontaneous prose,Continue reading ““In Media Res” or a ModPoetic Collage: On a Vision, a Course, a Liberation, a Block, and a “Way” to “Eunoia””
“The Way” ModPo Changed My Facebook Posts
The Modern and Contemporary Poetry Course, better known as ModPo, led by Prof. Al Filreis and his enlightened TA team, from the University of Pennsylvania, started September 10, 2012. Since beginning the course, not only have I become obsessed with it (I’ve been ‘squeezing’ it in everywhere as Prof. Filreis extolled us to do inContinue reading ““The Way” ModPo Changed My Facebook Posts”
