	Samizdat Magazine
		Rothenberg and Quasha link modernity, prophecy, and national identity because they want poetry’s power to emulate narrative’s temporal proficiencies to be recognized, a link that is also apparent in Rothenberg’s concept of ethnopoetics.
		Rothenberg’s definition here, as elsewhere, outlines a “more ethical” poetic stance rather than a poetics of national or tribal identity, and yet does not appear to be tempted to drop the “n” and become an ethopoetics.
		Rothenberg’s poetry and poetics is well aware of these paleosols, and knows how to make similar claims for the roots of contemporary poetry in the archaic, in tribal times or early visions.

	Keeling
		Rothenberg, after all, is well known for his interest in poetry’s fringes, and while his efforts to bring the marginalized into the center of the page are certainly noble, the neglected, potent work he favors is best taken like a good drink—sipped slowly, in small amounts.
		Rothenberg aptly describes the results of Picasso’s experimentation with poetry as “unpunctuated breathless blocks of prose” representing a “faux surrealism—a simulation of spontaneity,” and the poems themselves are compelling and fearless in the same manner as his paintings.
		Indeed, Rothenberg deserves praise not only for his efforts to open up the field of poetry (both through this book and as the central project of his career), but also for his ability to do it in a way that is compelling and accessible (or at least not completely unaccessible).

		Rothenberg: Well, I don't know if I said it on-line, but I do sometimes have a feeling that if it were not for the ability we now have to communicate in all of these ways over this three thousand mile distance, that we would have ditched the project at some point.
		Rothenberg: There were a number of other authors that would have been good to have, but there were questions of money and, more positively, of wanting to or needing to be global, so that we couldn't overdo it in any one region.
		Rothenberg: We assert that this is a preliminary to the twenty-first century, yes.

	Alan Golding, "Anthologizing the Innovative" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rothenberg writes of the Allen/Butterick collection that the more "the editors become fixed in their idea of an avant-garde [as something done with and now simply to be preserved, collected, represented], the more the matter of prediction focuses on reputations: which poets have 'endured' and 'have achieved a certain recognition' and which have not.
		Poems for the Millennium, then, we have an anthology that is countercanonical in two contradictory senses: it contributes to a counter-canon of alternative poetic practices, while seeking to counter the very notion of a canon and refusing to claim canonizing status or ambitions for itself.
		Rothenberg's observation does not entirely explain the gender imbalance of the volume as a whole, however (which is about 25% women; vol.

		Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between "primitive" and modern poetry led to the development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the Sacred (1968).
		In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological Research to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.
		In this effort, Rothenberg began to develop an approach he termed "total translation," meaning that he accounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including the so-called "meaningless" vocables, word distortions and redundancies.

	Book Reviews: "Poems for the Millenium," Edited by Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Lewis
		Rothenberg has been fond of this schema since 1979, when he made it the subject of his anthology The Revolution of the Word: A New Gathering of American Avant-Garde Poetry.
		Rothenberg and Joris label this assembly "a kind of modernist collage," one that calls to mind limber-jointed works like The Cantos or Paterson, snippets of which are included in Millennium.
		For avant-gardists like Rothenberg and Joris, who are predisposed to divide poets into warring camps and allied forces, a poem is best understood only as part of a movement, regardless of the warp and woof of an individual poet's entire career.

	Mappemunde: April 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rothenberg read works from various poets he had translated, including Celan, Lorca, and Neruda, as well as some fascinating works of his own that he refers to as "otherings," in which he uses the notion of translation as a way of "writing through" or "being written through by others" in his own poems.
		Rothenberg himself describes these "otherings" as a way of calling the writer's ego into question: "Once translated they were mine and simultaneously not mine.
		Rothenberg read with a wonderful half-sincerity (I mean that as a compliment); he seemed to be both inside the work feeling it emotionally and outside it peering in, delighting in the oddness of the emotion in something not quite written by him.

	\|\|\| Granary Books :: The Book, Spiritual Instrument \|\| Jerome Rothenberg & David Guss \|\|\|
		Edited in 1982 by Jerome Rothenberg, the greatest American anthologist of the postwar years, and his associate, anthropologist and translator David Guss, The Book, Spiritual Instrument pushes the envelope not only on what books contain but also on what they are.
		Rothenberg and company read the book as metaphor for aesthetic framing devices, but they also read frames as metaphoric books.
		In a series of exemplary essays on, and demonstrations of, what might be called the ethnopoetics of the book, books from a wide range of cultural traditions are portrayed as radical extenders of form rather than neutral vessels of content.

	Jacket 12 — Ramez Qureshi reviews A Paradise of Poets, by Jerome Rothenberg
		Rothenberg is not the only noted contemporary poet to write on the occasion of an earthquake — Pacheco for one has done it — but he certainly has not come with a hackneyed hand.
		Rothenberg speaks of himself in the third person, underscoring the disassociation caused by the catastrophe; the poet only is left, to ‘record,’ to bear witness.
		As Rothenberg indicates in his helpful notes, he is continuing the project he initiated with Pierre Joris in Poems for the Millennium, publicizing the work of the pivotal modernists of the twentieth century.

		Jerome Rothenberg had declared himself a poet a few years before midcentury.
		Antin had said of Snodgrass: "The comparison of this updated version of A shropshire Lad...and the poetry of the cantos and the Waste Land seemed so abberrant as to verge on the pathological." The thing was to deny that this was the real modernist legacy after all.

		Rothenberg is a good objective analyst, but as he points out, the bloggers are biased from the start.
		One of the points Rothenberg criticizes bloggers for, is advocating that the DCCC make sure that they have a Deomcratic candidate in all of the 435 House races.
		Another thing Rothenberg completely misses is the long-term, party- and candidate-building importance of doing many more serious challenges in seats you may not realistically expect to win.

		This book is in some ways the most synthesizing of Jerome Rothenberg's recent collections, pulling together work from the 1970's that stands apart from Poland/1931 (1974) and A Seneca Journal (1978) yet at the same time continuing the enactment of past and present begun in those books.
		Jerome Rothenberg's Poland /1931, a continuing series of ancestral poems, has been appearing in installments over the course of five years, published in limited edition by various small presses.
		This volume offers a selection of poems composed in the period between the wars by the founder of "poetism," a movement in Prague, initiated in the 1920s, which was responsible for the first surrealist stirring outside of Paris.

	Deep image - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deep image is a term coined by Jerome Rothenberg and Robert Kelly in the second issue of Trobar, and was used to describe poetry written by him and by Robert Kelly, Diane Wakoski and Clayton Eshleman.
		In creating the term, Rothenberg was inspired by the Spanish canto jondo (deep song), especially the work of Federico Garcia Lorca and by the symbolist theory of correspondences.
		The deep image group was short-lived in the manner that Kelly and Rothenberg used.

		The effect of this repetition on the reader cannot be lost, as he delves further into that proud and woe stricken proposition of discovery.
		Rothenberg's serial use of 'I' places him out on a limb -- it projects him into rarefied space as the sole possessor of his poem's device.

		Rothenberg implies that we write to achieve that moment, fleeting as it is. Poetry is indeed "the speech of ghosts," but we are the ghosts, "mindless phantoms / empty voices." It does not exist to affirm our presence or to assert the poet's "immortality" or to bring the dead to life.
		Rothenberg explained one of the section's lines, "a language rhyming clocks with death," on my radio show: "My father and I would play a rhyming game: ‘You are a this, you are a that, you are a kiss, you are a rat.' We did it in Yiddish.

		Jerome Rothenberg's re-visioning talent created America: A Prophecy, Shaking the Pumpkin, Technicians of the Sacred, Exiled in the Word, and Revolution of the Word, all seminal anthologies which re-conceptualize poetic maps into new geographies.
		Instead of the usual chronology of major figures, these volumes seek works that "Significantly test the limits of poetry, both from a structural and an experimental point of view." The result is astounding, forming a provocative and instructive course in aesthetics, imagination, and vision.
		Rothenberg and Joris have compiled an ambitious, and certain to be controversial, anthology which assumes one world.

		Charles Bernstein has called Rothenberg “the ultimate ‘hyphenated’ poet: critic-anthropologist, editor-anthologist-performer-teacher-translator, to each of which he brings an unbridled exuberance and an innovator’s insistence on transforming a given state of affairs.” Kenneth Rexroth has said of Rothenberg, “No one writing poetry today has dug deeper into the roots of poetry.”
