Tracy seizes control of the right side of the couch and promptly goes insane with power. Also, Amelia Bedelia learns kanban and earns the right to write terrible personal essays. She'll see you at Dave's Fox Head Tavern.
“Some people haven't read a poem since high school,” says poet C. Russell Price in this episode. They're probably right, but the new book “Oh, You Thought This Was a Date? Apocalypse Poems” should bring people back for all the right reasons (sex, drugs, rock and roll, the end of the world, deeply personal reflections, wordplay and a wicked sense of humor). Russell talks about a career in poetry, the apocalypse, the musical “Easter eggs” in the poems, LGBTQIA issues and how music and poetry work together. Russell also reads two poems from the book during the episode, which was super cool. Worth noting: I end the episode with a FLARF! I wasn't even aware as I was doing it. Now is the time to go solar!

In this episode, Kaitlin talks with K. Lorraine Graham about the process—versus the production—of art, and the unfinished work of art and parenting. They also delve into what it means to be forever in postpartum. Lorraine makes poems and texts that sometimes manifest as drawings, games and performances. She is the author of The Rest Is Censored, Terminal Humming and a recent chaplet of new work from Belladonna. Her work appears in Flarf: An Anthology of Flarf, Omniverse, and Postmodern Culture. Lorraine and Kaitlin talk about: How the different phases of depression/depressive moments she goes through play into her identity as an artist and her role as a mother. Navigating the practice of actively challenging & defying the false expectations faced by women in general, and creative mothers in particular, most of which are steeped in gender and marital heteronormative norms. The endlessly generative, but unfinished nature of both parenting and creative practice. The sense of liberation and boldness that postpartum, middle age, and motherhood often afford us, especially as artists and creatives.

In this inaugural edition of Into the Field, I talk with Benjamin Friedlander at his home in Bangor, Maine. Friedlander is a poet, critic, teacher, and member of the Flarflist Collective. He currently teaches at the University of Maine. Friedlander reads a selection of poems originally posted on the Flarflist, as well as several from his book A Knot Is Not a Tangle (Krupskaya, 2000). In our interview, he discusses his years spent living in two of the major meccas of experimental writing in recent decades: San Francisco in the 1980s, and Buffalo in the '90s. We also talk about his use of the tools of Flarf to do the work of elegy, and his interest in widely forgotten poets of the nineteenth century.
Kaplan Harris is a scholar and editor who writes about a wide variety of 20th- and 21st-century poetry, including the work of Ted Berrigan, Hannah Weiner, Susan Howe, and the Flarf poets. With degrees from North Carolina State University and the University of Notre Dame, he currently teaches at St. Bonaventure University in Western New York. For the last several years, Harris has been co-editing the forthcoming Selected Letters of Robert Creeley with Peter Baker and Rod Smith. His article "The Small Press Traffic school of dissimulation" was recently published in Jacket2.
Sean Cole is a poet and radio producer currently based in New York City. I spoke with him last summer in Toronto, where he was living at the time. Sean's chapbook Itty City (Pressed Wafer) was published in 2003, and The December Project (Boog Literature), a collection of postcard poems, came out in 2005. Sean has contributed to numerous public radio programs, including This American Life, All Things Considered, Marketplace, and Weekend America. He produced a memorable piece on Flarf poetry for Studio 360 in 2009, and his story "Death Mask" appeared as a Radiolab podcast last month.
Daniel talks with poet & critic, Edward Hirsch, about his latest book, A Poet's Glossary, which is not so much a book of definitions as it is an exploration of the history of the terms and how those terms interrelate to each other. Hirsch explains why it took 15 years to compile the information for this book, and why he believes it can still be more expansive (it's already over 700 pages long). We'll learn about the terms "Duende," "Flarf," and "Spam Poetry." This week's Poem of the Week is read by our guest, Edward Hirsch. He reads "To Poetry." For this week's Poetic License, Fresno poet Marisol Baca returns to share a couple of poems that reflect upon the world she lived in as a childhood dreamer. We'll hear "Horno" and "The Discovery."
Etruria, Flarf, and historical references.

More information can be found here: http://www.aerialedge.com/DrewGardnerFlarfOrchestraCD.html Anne Waldman’s “Ice,” also known as “You’re Like Ice,” was published in her book Journals and Dreams (Stonehill Press, 1976). It’s part of a larger poem titled “In April.” “Pieces of an Hour” was originally published in IOVIS: All Is Full of Jove (Coffee House Press, 1992) and republished in The Iovis Trilogy: Colors in the Mechanism of Concealment (Coffee House Press, 2011). “Stereo” was published in Marriage: A Sentence (Penguin, 2000). Susana Gardner’s pieces are from her recent book HERSO: An Heirship in Waves (Black Radish Books, 2011). Aaron Belz’s poems “A Pile of Trees and an Actuary” and “Mr. Fibitz” are from his book Lovely, Raspberry (Persea Books, 2010). Carla Harryman had this to say about “Song for Asa”: “Song for Asa” was published as a broadside in a very limited edition for a reading series in New Orleans. I believe it was also published in a very little magazine that came out Naropa, possibly in about 1999. Other than that it makes an appearance, broken up, in Gardener of Stars, a Novel. Harryman’s “Fish Speech” was published in Memory Play (O Books, 1994) and reprinted in 12 x 12: Conversations in 21st-Century Poetry and Poetics (University of Iowa Press, 2009). “Open Box II” is a selection from her book Open Box: Improvisations (Belladonna Books, 2007). The text of “Song for Asa” is sung by Aurora Josephson. Text for “Open Box II” is read by Carla Harryman and Jon Raskin. Text for “Fish Speech” is read by Aurora Josephson, Jon Raskin, and Roham Sheikhani. Rod Smith’s recording is comprised of selections from two manuscripts: Snips and War and Pee. Katie Degentesh’s poem is from The Anger Scale (Combo Books, 2006). Ron Silliman’s “OZ” is a portion of his long workThe Alphabet (University of Alabama Press, 2008). Leslie Scalapino’s “bum series” can be found in her book Way (North Point Press, 1988). Hannah Weiner’s “Spoke” is from the book of the same name (Sun & Moon, 1984). Marcella Durand’s “Hunt” is unpublished. David Antin’s “Who Are My Friends?” was published in Selected Poems, 1963-1973 (Sun & Moon, 1991). “Mine” features Clark Coolidge reading from his book Mine: The One that Enters the Stories (The Figures, 1981; republished, 2004). From the CD liner notes: “Also heard is Arlan Coolidge, retired chairman of the Brown University Music Department, reminiscing about Block Island, Rhode Island, in 1918 and playing a portion of the popular 1917 song “Smiles” on the violin. This material is mixed with the foghorns of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, all three horns on Block Island, and the foghorn on the Block Island Ferry during its crossing.” Heather Fuller’s “Stricken” was published in her book perhaps this is a rescue fantasy (Edge Books, 1997).
