poets on war
Yesterday I posted a list... today I'm posting a list. Maybe we can make this a thing. Today's list is books on "US military expansionism" written in the past five years and recommended by the great Juliana Spahr at her blog, Swoonrocket. I've read only two on this list, K. Silem Mohammed's Deer Head Nation and Lisa Jarnot's Black Dog Songs, both are a lot of fun, which is a little bit odd to say about books on US military expansionism, but which is, in fact, true. Alice Notley, Alma, or The Dead Women Amiri Baraka, Somebody Blew up America Barrett Watten, Bad History Carole Mirakove, Mediated or Occupied Eliot Weinberg, “What I Heard about Iraq” Fanny Howe, On the Ground Judith Goldman, Deathstar/Rico-chet Jules Boykoff, Once Upon a Neoliberal Rocket Badge Rob Fitterman & Dirk Rowntree, War, a Musical Judith Goldman and Leslie Scalapino, editors, War & Peace 2: Poetry and Essays Jena Osman, Essays in Astericks K. Silem Mohammad, Deer Head Nation Kent Johnson, Lyric Poetry After Auschwitz Kim Rosenfeld, Trama Kristin Prevallet, Shadow Evidence Intelligence Lisa Jarnot, Black Dog Songs Meg Hammell, Death Notices Drew Gardener, Petroleum Hat Linh Dinh, Borderless Bodies Spahrwho wrote one of the best books I read last year was here in Chicago on Friday, giving a talk at UIC, where I teach. In point of fact she was giving her talk in Room 2028 on a floor where my office is 2026. Despite this I missed the entire talk (I was teaching) and managed to slip in just in time to see the very tail end of the Q+A session. I did at least get to say "thanks for coming." But it still sucked. Labels: bibliographies, lists, poetics, poetry_commentary, war
