 Jacket 22 - Caroline Bergvall reviews A Conversation with David Antin
For Antin, the moment of a talking (as informed yet informal public speaking), attuned to its context and its audience, both open and given over to the surprise of taking place, is the moment of the poem.
Antin’s approach to the speaking as pulse (and not as ‘breaks’ of voice) emphasises the writing process as one which dematerialises the speaking process and stylises it.
      Antin’s sense that ‘the serious discourses of our culture took place in texts’ (62) (he means published texts), belies that he remains still somewhat closer to projects in which verbal interaction between writer and audience (not passers-by) and the setting of the piece, are generative of a publishable text, rather than of a situation.

 ||| Granary Books :: Conversation with David Antin || Charles Bernstein & David Antin |||
A four-month interchange between the poet/essayist Charles Bernstein and artist/poet/critic David Antin.
The combination of the speed of electronic transmission and the rigors of writing as opposed to talking make this book, in Antin's words, "a cross between an 18th-and 21st-century text." A Conversation with David Antin presents the entirety of this dialogue between two of the most important figures on the contemporary poetry scene.
The text is complimented by Album Notes, a collection of photographs from Antin's life with extended annotations—"shaggy dog stories"— verbal elaborations of the pictures which, together, add further dimension to the work of a writer and thinker Jerome Rothenberg has termed "as important a poet as we've got in America."

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Talk poet reflects about time
Talk poems is what David Antin calls the witty, philosophical, poignant and sometimes flat-out funny pieces in his new book, "i never knew what time it was." These are hardly his first such pieces.
Antin's talk poems begin as, well, talks – not wholly improvisatory but performances with a blueprint.
Antin will be signing copies of his book, too, which is, as its title hints, a running reflection on time.

Consider, for example, David Antin's seminal essay "Modernism and Postmodernism: Approaching the Present in American Poetry," published in the first issue.
Antin writes from the perspective of the practicing poet, who was also beginning to make a name for himself as a performance artist and art critic, having recently been appointed chair of the newly formed Visual Arts Department of the University of California-San Diego.
To pout it another way: Antin, who is obviously a member of the Olson team, is theorizing his own practice, telling us what kind of poetry he wants to produce (the utterance of "a man on his feet talking") and why.

For David and me there would be other meetings with Kenneth down the years – not too many but all of them comradely and without rancor.

 i never knew what time it was
Situated between speech and writing, Antin's talk poems never seek refuge in either form but revel in their contradiction and unpredictability (amiably disguised as digression).
"For thirty years now, David Antin has been producing fascinating meditations that he calls 'talk poems.' Beginning in actual talk, they take their textual form from strenuous thinking about a given set of puzzles or problems, tackling "ideas" via narrative networks, as poignant and profound as they are hilarious.
David Antin is Professor Emeritus of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego.

I've always been attracted to rough cut, zine-like book covers (yes, I do judge books by their covers) but the name of the author, David Antin, was a name that seemed familiar, though I did not immediately recognize where I knew it from.
Simply put, Antin's books both confused and furthered my sense of what art is. I distinctly remember wanting to make some happenings happen myself.
Antin's book Talking turned up unexpectedly, perfectly, and reading up on him reminded me of a book I once saw by his wife, Eleanor Antin, a strange work entitled, I think, Being Antinova...

Such thinking suggests the value of a return to "orality," which often strikes me as nostalgic, in the sentimental sense of the word, although I find the idea of "return" (nostos) that allows a reimagining of where we are quite resonant.

The breakthrough, when it came, was a return at first to the ideas of poetry that the early years had nearly driven out of us.
