Bill's book launch!
Bill Howe is having a book launch at 8:00 pm on Friday, November 27th at InkTank in Cincinnati. So, for those whose holiday travel takes them to the area I hope to see you then.
InkTank, 1311 Main Street, Cincinnati, OH.
For those of you who can’t make it, the book is available through both the BlazeVOX [books] website
http://www.blazevox.org/bk-
and the SPD Website
http://www.spdbooks.org/
From SPD: Poetry. TRANSLANATIONS ONE is the first major installment of William R. Howe's Emily Dickinson project, translanations. The collection is a homophonic, homolinguistic transformation of Dickinson's poems 500-599. Howe radically, and fantastically, re-invents Dickinson's lyrics while approximating those poems' sound and rhythm patterns: "Rather than just `translating' these poems from English to English," Howe writes, "I have written these poems to the tune of Dickinson, and through that music I am exploring our relationship with language." Listening to one of Howe's "translanations" is like hearing a Dickinson poem after it's been processed by a shrooming babelfish. "Dickinson said that it's poetry if you feel as though the top of your head were taken off. But what if it's the whole head, down to the shoulders?... Read this with a helmet on"--K. Silem Mohammad.

Intercollegiate Athletic Guide
The Rugby Player
And here is another name, a football name
something else like a tough nickname
a brown suit and slender tie
The Coxswain
Boats are quoted and ships italicized
The Golfer
Fair Isle sweaters and pea coats are function
not fashion again
The Lacrosse Player
No, never mind him
Ben Sherman jackets match Fred Perry shoes
Mohawks and leather on the other side
The Ballplayer
or a film about him
or the poster outside the theater
The Swimmer
Seen here in the convex mirror
backwards
around the corner
The Fencer
Stage combat certification
looks good on a resume
The Wrestler
With another name, wear a tuxedo
or a linen shirt and summer shoes
Here, center ring, stained glass

Beehive Collective Swarms Cincy -- tomorrow!
| Date: | Thursday, October 29, 2009 |
| Time: | 5:00pm - 7:00pm (just enough time to get back for Kit Robinson!) |
| Location: | The University of Cincinnati |
The Beehive Collective is a visual artist collective that creates giant intricate pen drawings depicting political issues such as the impact of biotechnology, mountain top removal coal mining, and corporate exploitation of Latin America.
The Beehive's latest piece entitled "¡Mesoamérica Resiste!" is the third in a trilogy about corporate globalization in the western hemisphere. The piece explores "Plan Puebla Panamá," a massive infrastructure development plan that aims to pave the way for the Free Trade Area of the Americas in Mesoamérica.
"¡Mesoamérica Resiste!" will be displayed in the DAAP cafe starting at noon, and will culminate with an artist lecture at 5pm in DAAP room 5401 (note that this is a different room that the one listed on the facebook page).
