Andrea Brady on John James and Denise Riley.
This seminar is focussed on the poetry and poetics that have been produced in Britain, Ireland and North America over the last fifty years in the modernist tradition. In their editorial for the first issue of the Journal of British Irish Innovative Poetry, Robert Sheppard and Scott Thurston noted the problem of giving a name to this area of poetry, and listed some of the names that have been applied to it: avant-garde, experimental, formally innovative, linguistically innovative; neo-modernist, post-avant ... The Innovative Poetry seminar series doesn't promise to resolve this problem of naming, but it will offer an engagement with - and exploration of - poetry and poetics of this parallel tradition.
Room G35, Ground Floor, Senate House, London
Hi everyone,
A quick note about Openned. We've rejigged the site a bit to make it a bit easier to get around and given it some spit and polish to (hopefully) make it more enjoyable to move around. We've had a few people saying the Calendar and the Reader are their favourite features of the site so now there's a quick links menu in the first column that will take you directly to these pages.
We are closing the Submit page for now - we don't feel we have enough free time to give your work the consideration it deserves. If you have already submitted work we will look over it as soon as we can.
We've also removed the Bookshelf page, it was an experiment that didn't really work, so if you're one of the few people looking for it, it's gone.
No web addresses have changed so if you link to any particular page on Openned or to any work of yours that is on Openned, don't worry, you don't have to change anything.
We hope you like it all verily.
Steve & Alex

Agrippa (a book of the dead) appeared in 1992 as a collaboration between artist Dennis Ashbaugh, author William Gibson, and publisher Kevin Begos, Jr. The Agrippa Files is a scholarly site that presents selected pages from the original art book; a unique archive of materials dating from the book’s creation and early reception; an emulation of Gibson’s included poem in its original born-and-die-digital form (it ran from a diskette once before encrypting itself into oblivion); a simulation of what the book’s intended “fading images” might have looked like; a video of the 1992 “transmission” of the work; a “virtual lightbox” for comparing and studying pages; full-text scholarly essays and interviews; an annotated bibliography of scholarship, press coverage, interviews, and other material; a detailed bibliographic description of the book; and a discussion forum.
Agrippa has a disk buried in its last pages. That disk, which contains the 305-line text of Gibson’s memory poem about his father and his own youth (captured for reflection by the “mechanism” of a camera and a 1920 Kodak “Agrippa” brand photo album), scrolls its text up the screen once as an encryption program makes it seem to vanish, locking it up irretrievably in a kind of zen code (actually, RSA-based code) for nothingness.
