Call for Mailart: Honoring the Shadow

The Shadow is a psychological term introduced by the late Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. It is everything in us that is repressed, undeveloped and denied, both dark and light. The shadow represents all that the conscious person does not wish to acknowledge within themselves. Jung emphasized the importance of being aware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious awareness. Otherwise we project these attributes onto others.

Honor your shadow by giving it visual form.

All mediums are welcome.

Deadline: December 31 2010.

Artworks will be permanently displayed on my website.

Call for Work: Critiphoria, A Journal of Poetry and Criticism

www.critiphoria.org

A Journal of Poetry and Criticism

Edited by Stephen Paul Miller, Cecilia Wu, Dominick Casazza, Stephen Pasqualina, and Mary Ann Miller

 
Critiphoria is an online multimedia lab and locus for engaging hybridized critical-poetic textualities. Critiphoria seeks a wide variety of submissions including and concerning "poetry-criticism" (not limited to criticism of poetry) in all its forms. Having published its inaugural issue in February 2008, Critiphoria continues to interrogate how poetry and criticism mutually and dissymmetrically sustain and impel each other formally and conceptually. In Critiphoria, poetry and criticism invigorate each other so as to explore terms for their intersection within possibilities for a "third genre." We seek text, image, or multiform works of text, audio, video, or hybrid media, for our second issue forthcoming in February 2010. Historically we have published essays in poetic form, essays using poetic methodology, poems with critical content, poetry-criticism, statements about poetic production, pedagogical transcripts, and visual poetry. We encourage contributions which both challenge and dwell in a shared site of poetic and critical labor. We broadly support the cultivation of cultural experiments, based in language, which deterritorialize pre-existing modalities of genre. Critiphoria strives to break ground, but acknowledges precedents such as Charles Bernstein's "Artifice of Absorption," Stephen Paul Miller's poem essay/lectures, Lyn Hejinian's poetic nonfiction, the linguistic mysticism of David Shapiro, the autobiographical scholarship of Susan Howe, Zizek's psycho-political analyses, W.J.T. Mitchell's totemic digs, David Antin's talk poems, and a variety of dialogic critical-poetic objects. We enthusiastically welcome new models and trajectories, and encourage submissions to include a prefatory statement concerning how they work within the dynamic tensions among poetry, criticism, and other forms. In addition to its typical wide variety of work, the next issue of Critiphoria will contain a section concerning "Secular Jewish Culture/Radical Poetic Practice" and, among other concerns and subjects, work concerning this subject is particularly encouraged to accompany the criticism of the forthcoming RADICAL POETICS AND SECULAR JEWISH CULTURE, edited by Stephen Paul Miller and Daniel Morris, University of Alabama Press. Critiphoria appears at <http://www.critiphoria.org/>. The deadline for the second issue is December 31, 2009. PLEASE SEND SUBMISSIONS IN ATTACHMENTS. Email submissions or other correspondence to the editors at critiphoria@gmail.com.

“Would you dare to kill?”

 

“I can’t.”

 

But this does not lessen the field of measuring human knowledge.

 

“For you I’d be capable.”

 

I used to hear some organic defect in those bastards.

 

I mean, scarcely above a whisper.

 

Out of tune, their mentality less optimistic, less angry.

Quickly followed by catbird, the wren, the wood choir

Everyone was singing in dreams convinced

that the night bird probably never would.

 

His peculiar guttural note seems to wander.

 

The farmer who yet sees stars catches their elderly.

Call for Artwork/Poetry/Text Hybrid Experiments:

Creative Responses : The work of Arakawa and Gins has been extremely
influential for poets and artists. At the Second International
Conference in 2008, a number of distinguished poets, performance
artists, and media artists contributed to the program. We invite new
creative responses that develop, investigate, explore and inflect
aspects of Arakawa and Gins' written, drawn, built and unbuilt works.
We can accept creative responses in the following forms: textual or
graphic (which could include poetry in any form, visual works and/or
image/text hybrids); net-based interactive works (flash, etc.);
net-based video. In addition to the web exhibit, University of New
Orleans Press has committed to publish a collection of the creative
responses in book form.

Poet and anti-poet: The duality of Lawrence writer Jim McCrary

Stealing to eat the pure pleasure of an illuminated city drowned.

 

Birds were astir in the answers tomorrow.

 

There is one way, at least, if the man who wandered its forests had lessened:

 

the atmosphere had on a shabby checkered moisture, a shoplifter’s outfit.
