Pierre Joris points out poets

In his essay, "Notes toward a Nomadic Poetics" Pierre Joris points out poets of interest:

  • Nataniel Mackey - foundational noise

  • Valere Novarina - theatre - ludic nomadology of names that dissolves character into a fluidity...

  • Robert Kelly

  • Melvin Tolson - bifacial multi-phasic poet

  • Kateb Yacine - multiple life-long text

  • Jerome Rothenberg

  • Don Byrd - leads us through the "mesocosm - the dense locale of the common, that is absorbed by the exaggeration of symbolism, on the one hand, and by mere biology, on the other.

  • Leslie Scalapino - reading ... so slow ... no content ... motion is a thing in itself

  • Edouard Glissant - poetics of the diverse

  • Allen Fisher - investigation into all our knowledges - the great serial constructive derive...

  • Lynn Hejinian - border worker

  • Michel Deguy - hospitality

  • Abdelwahab Meddeb - allography

  • Muriel Rukeyser - life as necessarily political, as needing to be engaged at all levels

  • Nicole Brossard - quest for and conquest of meaning

  • Charles Berstein- invention is not a choice

  • Nicole Peyrafitte - wild metonymic grammar of desire - no fictional single static point

  • John Cayley - Indra's Net - cyberpoetics

  • Jed Rasula

  • Franco Beltrametti

  • Anselm Hollo - writing nomadically in a language that is not his mother-tongue

"All language is found -- or given. Language does not belong to us. One does not own language or does not create language, one is invited into it."
