	In-Conference: Dell Olsen -- HOW2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		Harryman’s text is an investigation of the relationship between performativity and dialogue that occurs across discourses. As she said in her 1996 interview with Megan Simpson, “I like to put families of language in conversation with each other, such as theoretical discourse, fiction, and nonsense.”
		The structure of narrative in Harryman’s work is reveals a degree of ‘liveness’ in the sense that, like the situationists concept of detournment, it is always on the point of being interrupted and diverted “en route by a question”(1985, 104).
		That Harryman’s redistribution of narrative is directly related to her desire to redistribute the economies of meaning in language, the labels of people and things, can be clearly seen in the discussion of the zoo.

	"Encompassing Unboundedness:" Desire and Collaborative Authorship..." Shawna Ferris
		Harryman and Hejinian overtly intervene in and problematize reader expectation as, though the two columns appear side-by-side (and this format is consistent throughout the piece)—just as the authors’ names appear side-by-side under the title—“An Essay” (the left column of each page) is distinct from “Another Essay” (the right column of each page).
		Though Harryman and Hejinian’s names on this title page indicate that the authors are “present” and important in this text, the authors’ subsequent refusal to use singular pronouns, their refusal to claim authorship/ownership of either one of the columns, playfully echoes and answers Michel Foucault’s questioning of the author’s traditional authority in his/her text.
		Though Harryman and Hejinian’s collaborative relationship performatively “undoes” traditional ideas of authorial voice and playfully encourages readers to join them in measuring the un-measurable, their text is simultaneously limited, or “trapped,” by its own heteronormativity and gender essentialism.

	Harryman
		Harryman is the third writer invited by Cranbrook to construct a "visual essay" in response to its collection, in keeping with a trend which opens museum collections to public scrutiny and use.
		After her investigation of the Cranbrook collection, Harryman chose the chair, instead of paintings or prints, because of its prominence in human history, in design history and specifically in Cranbrook's own past &emdash; a number of the most famous chairs of the 20th century were designed by Cranbrook faculty members.
		In last month's brilliant lecture and reading of her poetic responses to the chairs, Harryman talked about the desire of poets to make something out of words, speaking about language as a material itself rather than, as it is usually conceived, being "about" something else.

		Carla Harryman's latest challenge to the separation of literary genres features the sensual world and critical perspectives of a maverick baby, who enters the book as "fire in the womb with a skirt." Yet the baby of Baby is also a word whose function is and must be as pliable as a new gender.

	dbqp: visualizing poetics: When the Box is a Box
		Harryman’s poem consists of an open box on the computer screen.
		Here, the act of reading is no longer an endurance test; the reader now must move within a window too wide and too tall.
		Unlike Harryman’s “Box,” which is essentially a text trapped within a meaningless carapace, Stefans’ “Please” is a distilled text whose meaning is enhanced by its visual form.

		Appreciative readers will call Harryman's book a prose poem or an feminist anti-novel, a experiment in life-writing or an abstract autobiography.
		Moments of lucidity are interspersed with wrench-in-the-machinery doggerel that makes reading the book sometimes fun, sometimes challenging, and occasionally disheartening-especially as Harryman's brands of disjunction adhere to modernist models (like Mina Loy's) nearly a century old.
		But if I take you there, we will be gone." If Harryman's book fails to deliver the ideological or formal innovations it promises, it remains an inspiring take on gender politics-not to mention a pretty good read.

	RCF - Book Reviews
		Deriving its ethos from the surrealist poetics of ruins, Harryman’s sensibility emerges from the modern metropolis that contains fragments of lives, ruined buildings, inchoate languages, multiple peoples, collisions of values, obscure stories, and varied encounters in erotic space.
		This work is like a raft of words, writer and readers alike having survived a catastrophe; the heroic quest “replaced by a collective trauma.” We float on the words and images, not really understanding them, but pulled along by the current of writing.
		Though we may remain puzzled readers of this dream city, it is Carla Harryman’s gift to shore up words against its psychological, cultural and architectural ruins.

		Carla Harryman describes GARDENER OF STARS as "an experimental novel that explores the paradise and wastelands of utopian desire." The book offers a mythic history of a post-historical city situated in a garden landscape whose inhabitants are engaged in perpetual tending, limitless generation.
		Their generatings and tendings take place in speculation and dream, practical and impractical invention, desire and copious sex - all facets of a politicized eros and an erotic politics.
		Negotiating this milieu, the various characters come into contact (or, more precisely, throw themselves into contact) with events that are in a ceaseless process

		Carla Harryman describes Garderner of Stars as "an experimental novel that explores the paradise and wastelands of utopian desire." The book offers a mythic history of a post-historical city situated in a garden landscape whose inhabitants are engaged in perpetual tending, limitless generation.
		But this utopia must be understood too as the very language, the prose, that invents it.
