*FROM THE ARCHIVES* Originally aired on Clocktower Radio in 2016 Guest: Louis Brawley Hosts: Christopher Kardambikis and Jake Nussbaum Recorded in Brooklyn, NY In 2000 Louis Brawley was living, working and showing in New York City. With two solo shows under his belt, he started traveling a lot. Then he left the city in 2005. At that time he opted to conduct an experiment by living without a base. From then on he moved usually monthly, sometimes weekly, or even daily, rarely spending more than a month in any one place. Following the flow of freelance work at art fairs most of the year; he spent the winter months living in India. Much of the time during the first five years of travel was spent with the Indian-born philosopher and anti-guru U.G. Krishnamurti, until he passed away. After his death Brawley began writing a book about that experience. A regular practice of producing photographs and paintings on paper continued while living on the road. The book called Goner was published in 2011 by Non-Duality Press in the UK and by Penguin in India. The journals from the second half of the travel period are the subject of another book currently in process. The artist currently lives and works in Brooklyn. * Goner is now available from New Harbinger in the west and Penguin India in Asia. It was recently translated and published in Russia by Ganga Press. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/paper-cuts/support

Florence Neal is interviewed by Naheem Morris at Clocktower Radio on December 1st, 2015.

Charles Ruas is joined by Susan Howe to reminisce about their collaboration in the production of a 1975 WBAI radio project that celebrated the life and work of poet and playwright, V. R. "Bunny" Lang. This 2004 recording of their discussion serves as an entree to Clocktower Radio's rebroadcast of the short series of historic programs that they produced about the late writer whose "querulous warmth and astounding energy (made her a) 'queen' to her circle of friends". The original tribute consisted of a series of interviews with Lang's collaborators and contemporaries and a radio play/re-enactment of one of her works. The young Susan Howe knew Lang, her mother was a member of The Poets' Theater in Cambridge-- a collective that Lang co-founded in 1950 along with Thornton Wilder, William Carlos Williams and others. As a girl, Howe performed in some of their productions, which strongly influenced her future work. In addition to The Poets' Theater, Lang served in the Canadian Women's Army Corps during WWII and was an editor for the Chicago Review. Following this she move to New York where she became associated with the New York School of Poets and established an important friendship with Frank O'Hara. She died of Hodgkin's disease in 1956 at the age of 32. American poet and critic, Susan Howe (born 1937) is known for her work infused with historical and mythical references. She is often linked with the Postmodern Language poets. Howe has been awarded with numerous awards, such as two American Book Awards and a Guggenheim fellowship. She has taught at universities across the United States. Her published works include; Hinge Picture (1974), Articulation of Sound Forms in Time (1987), The Birth-Mark: Unsettling the Wilderness in American Literary History (1993), and Frolic Architecture (2011). Howe has two 2015 releases from New Directions, The Quarry, selections from her uncollected essays, nominated for a National Book Award and including her seminal piece, The End of Art, and a re-issue of her 1993 The Birth-mark, examining the histories of landmark works from Cotton Mather to Emily Dickinson and subsequent American writers.

A reading of one of the many stories the German philosopher and cultural critic Walter Benjamin wrote involving catastrophes or natural disasters. Here, you will find first-hand accounts of the ancient volcanic explosion; witness the perfectly preserved remains (petrified unrest) of people living their final moments; hear the poetry written in ash; and see, scrawled on the walls what appeared to be the last words of a civilization. Benjamin reanimates the daily life of these ancient dwellers through a gorgeously considered forensic urbanism, in a radio piece broadcasted in its original in German for children, and here read in English by artist Corey McCorkle. Benjamin was an eclectic thinker, combining elements of German idealism, Romanticism, Western Marxism, and Jewish mysticism, he made enduring and influential contributions to aesthetic theory, literary criticism, and historical materialism. Walter Benjamin’s radio broadcasts (1929 - 1932) were written and read by Benjamin during his colossal research project The Arcades Project, an allegorical look into the birth of modernity in 19th Century Paris. The independent radical publishing house Verso Books has published a nuanced translation of Radio Benjamin, and Clocktower Radio is pleased to present the recorded version of the comprehensive project for the first time in English. Read by New York artist Corey McCorkle, the 29 extant transcriptions will also be annotated with linking principle themes explored in the Arcades Project with the wild variety of subjects Benjamin outlines in these 20 minute stories.
