	Nada Gordon on Bernadette Mayer's Memory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The talent Proust describes (with which Mayer is singularly blessed) is really a talent for tracking the sense impressions and the associative language that lead to the remembered object, which in itself is unimportant, merely a pastry or a stone or a photograph.
		Mayer is observing not the past in itself but the way her emotions create the past in the present.
		Mayer is concerned with the mechanisms of perception -- and particularly visual perception.

	Marcella Durand - Bernadette Mayer & Clark Coolidge
		Mayer and Coolidge wrote to each other over a period of approximately 24 years, a correspondence that Mayer says ended with her stroke in 1994.
		At this point, the project stands as follows: I have found out that Mayer's letters from Coolidge are archived with the rest of her correspondence and papers at University of San Diego, while Coolidge's letters from Mayer are at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
		Mayer, in addition, has spoken to me on some of the circumstances leading up to the writing of "The Cave," and sent me a brochure of pictures of the cave that served as the focus for the collaboration.

	Nada Gordon on Bernadette Mayer's Moving
		Her primary aim, and Bernadette Mayer's, is to articulate by formal means the continuity and duration of human experience.
		Mayer permits us to ride on "the head of the thought" of her "traffic mind." The traffic in her mind drives into ours over a bridge she's welded together.
		Mayer's will is very much a presence in the text; she's quite like the man who has the narratives who can manipulate the world because he is it.

		Bernadette Mayer was born on May 12, 1945, in Brooklyn, New York.
		Mayer's position made her a central figure in the community of artists and writers gathered at that time in New York City's Lower East Side, and many of her students from this period -- Lee Ann Brown and Lisa Jarnot among them -- have gone on to become writers themselves.
		The Bernadette Mayer Papers document Mayer's career as a writer and teacher and, to a lesser extent, her career as a publisher and editor.

	Jacket # 7 - Juliana Spahr - on Bernadette Mayer's Sonnets
		For it is not merely that the hole is the subject of the lyric but also the troubled relation between the hole's intensity of emotion and the elaborate controlling form of the sonnet.
		The book as whole serves almost as an encyclopedia of the sonnet's possible violations while still remaining a sonnet, examples of Mayer's statement that while the sonnet is a form that is "public and notorious" it is also a form for innovative thinking.
		And Mayer realizes that breaking conventional sexuality's limitations means bombing to widen the hole of desire and also doing the same to forms.

	Jacket # 7 - Libbie Rifkin - Anne Waldman, Bernadette Mayer and the Gender of an Avant-Garde Institution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In the late 60s and early 70s Mayer and Waldman collaborated in many areas and they worked together on the Poetry Project itself, but they appear to have differed dramatically in both their aesthetic and their organizational values.
		Mayer suggested in a recent interview (in the Poetry Project Newsletter) that 0 to 9 manifested a "resistance" to "New York writing"; and it appears that the cloistered sociality of "New York writing" may have been one of spurs to this resistance.
		Unnatural Acts, the magazine that emerged from Mayer's Poetry Project workshop in 1972, also reflects a certain resistance, and suggests the distinct environment of the workshop as it contributed to the variegated nature of the St. Mark's scene as a whole.

	Amazon.ca: Midwinter Day: Books: Bernadette Mayer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Written about one day in her life, the book uses both long, elegant lines (occasionally and humorously rhyming) and prose poetry (reminiscent of her works from the 70s like Studying Hunger and Memory) to prove that the day like the dream has everything in it.
		It is Mayers unexpected and various ways of linking personal experience and public historySo when I write of love I write of/ Binding referendums, bankruptcy intent,/ Industrials, utilities and sales/ The petitions of a citizens groupthat make the book such an important example of her own influential experimentation, and such a thorough pleasure.
		Written in one day (December 22, 1978), Mayer's single, long, experimental prose poem is divided into six sections that essentially follow the day from beginning to end.

		A new edition of Mayers six-part poem (originally published in Berkeley in 1982), describing the passage of a single dayDecember 22, 1978in Lenox, Massachusetts.
		Mannered without formalism, Mayer manages to be at once colloquial and introspective, and her depiction of a single days passage has a relaxed intimacy that never falls into the abyss of self-absorption.
		Precious and somewhat rarefied, Mayers narrative is moving in its simple intensity.

		Particularly in "Farmers Exchange" and "We Plow the Roads," Mayer is able to capture regional speech in the briefest whisper of dialogue.
		What pie?'') are constant presences in such charming pieces as ``We Plow the Roads'' (a hilarious riff on surviving New England winters) and ``My Excellent Novel'' (a surrealist view of female friendship that recalls Jane Bowles at her daftest and brightest).
		There's some self-indulgence, but when Mayer is at her frequent best--as in her word-portraits of a suburban mother's Molly Bloomlike fantasies and fears (``Agoraphobia'' and ``0 to 19'')--she blends eccentric content with rigorous verbal (and virtually musical) notation reminiscent of her obvious exemplar, Gertrude Stein.

		From 1967 to 1969, Vito Acconci and Bernadette Mayer collected the works of the some of the most exciting artists and writers for their mimeographed magazine, 0 TO 9.
		At a time when many were looking in other directions, Bernadette Mayer and Vito Acconci provided one of the truly germinal magazines in which experiments in poetry and language could be gathered and aimed toward an unforeseen future.
		Nearly four decades on, the thrill of their enterprise persists in these pages newly reprinted—amazing to look at against all that has transpired, more amazing to consider what remains to be done.

	Critical Praise for The Desires of Mothers To Please Others in Letters Bernadette Mayer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The work is precise, expansive, unabashed, melancholic, forthright, and metaphysical; it is about public and private history, good advice, speculation, news, and the ways understanding and adventure direct our attention and stimulate our manifold desire.
		'Bernadette' (the one in the book) is at any given point precisely and descriptively somewhere, and yet she is also everywhere; the simultaneity and scale-shifting of her attention as it runs through any given sentence is amazing.
		Here is the endlessly inclusive Bernadette, the one from whom comes.

	Scarlet Tanager
		Mayer's first book of new verse since 1998 shows her ease in many poetic forms, her attraction to New York City and to the Berkshires (where she now lives), her recovery from a recent stroke and her continued enthusiastic enmeshment with writing itself.
		Mayer (Midwinter Day) begins with 25 pages of brief poems she calls epigrams, some witty, some musical, some playfully bizarre.
		Above all, the collection highlights the rambles, digressions and whimsies on which Mayer's style depends.

	Scarlet Tanager:Mayer, Bernadette:0811215822:eCampus.com
		Comprised almost entirely of never-before-collected poems, Scarlet Tanager is Bernadette Mayer's first collection of new work in nearly a decade.
		Mayer, "one of the most original writers of her generation" (The Washington Post), has mixed together here delightful epigrams ("The Mammal Epigram": "Sexually/it's cute"), long-line free verse, and her astonishing sonnets.
		There are also curious translations of Mayer poems into joking, free-styling French, which are then re-translated back into English, landing somewhere extremely witty and quite some ways from the original.

		In "Bee Beard Sonnet," one of series of "sonnets" (in the Bernadette Mayer sense of that word) that make up the central section of the book, a woman sings silently to herself as bees swarm, in what Devaney refers to as a "beard" around her.
