 Harvesting memories - Books - www.theage.com.au
Since John Kinsella left Australia permanently in 1996, with his wife, poet and novelist Tracy Ryan - deciding that John Howard's Australia was not for them - his poetic themes have focused ever more sharply on Australia and, in particular, on the West Australian wheatbelt of his youth, now devastated by salination from over-use.
Kinsella, who was born in 1963, has published almost 30 books of poetry, prose, stories and autobiography, receiving many awards, as well as editing an anthology of contemporary Australian poetry, Landbridge.
Kinsella now divides his year between teaching Australian poetry and theory at Kenyon, from January to June, teaching creative writing at Cambridge University during Michaelmas term and presenting a series of lectures on landscape and language at Edith Cowan University in Perth mid-year.

 John Kinsella
Most remarkable of Kinsella’s many feats is the establishment of the Cambridge-based Salt Publishing with his publishing partners Chris and Jen Hamilton-Emery, creating a truly international and independent publishing house, and around it a community of authors.
Kinsella’s poetics are indivisible from his politics, which are orientated around his practices as a pacifist-anarchist-vegan.
Similarly, it is hard to view much of Kinsella’s work without the lens of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry, for the theories of which Kinsella has been something of an Australian conduit, influencing several younger Australian poets and generally broadening and deepening the level of recent critical engagement with poetics in Australia.

 John Kinsella / Genre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Kinsella's block of flats is also a block of potentially heterogeneous, inconsistent reading experiences.
This is part of Kinsella's ongoing experiment of becoming a writer; it is also an invitation to experiment in becoming a different kind of reader.
Kinsella shows us that writing can have a life outside of genre, outside of the conventions that police and contraint it, that limit 'literature' to middle brow consumer entertainment.

 JOHN KINSELLA by LOUIS ARMAND
In Kinsella's poetry, the figure of Andy Warhol operates on both sides of this equation: he exemplifies both a failure to encounter "the real," and the assimilative manufacture of it; insulation from the traumatic, and its compulsive articulation.
In Syzygy, and much of Kinsella's non-narrative writing, this notion of glissage could perhaps better be expressed as "abrasion"-it is an abrasion rather than a mere slippage (or laminar flow) which gives signification its possibility and ties it to the traumatic (as a "missed encounter with the real").
This is an irony to which Kinsella often returns, employing the example of Warhol in a critique of the pastoral tradition and of pastoral industry, in which a compulsion to repeat describes the condition of vicariously lived experience which remains the common condition of (post-) colonial Australia.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Kinsella, Thomas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Thomas Kinsella was born on 4th May 1928 in Inchicore, Dublin, the eldest child of John Kinsella and Agnes Casserly.
In 1965 Kinsella left his position as assistant principal officer in the Department of Finance to become writer in residence at Southern Illinois University, moving in 1970 to Temple University as a professor of English.
Kinsella's is a complex and dense poetry that, in its later years, eschews lyricism for a narrative development that relies on the poetic sequence and an engagement with sources as diverse as Irish mythology, European enlightenment and contemporary US history.

 Cordite Poetry Review: Ian MacNeill reviews John Kinsella
Kinsella seems unlikely to ever escape this more than landscape, desiccated, sterilised and so preserved by the rising, spreading salt which is gradually overcoming the floodings of blood (often figured as sap) which is its antithesis.
Kinsella, ignoring his own caveat, seems to be mixing concept and the visual in order to advance his art.
The measures of Kinsella's verse are very free, flattening to prose at times but he is completely secure in their handling; his ear is very good.

 Differential Poetics in Kenneth Goldsmith + John Kinsella
But Kinsella, who lives in Cambridge, England, and has close ties in the UK and the U.S., seems to reside in cyberspace, his "scriptsigns" appearing in all sorts of odd venues.
The concluding note is a shade moralistic, but Kinsella' didacticism is offset by both visual images and the soundtext, which is nothing short of extraordinary.
Rather, Kinsella and Sims read antiphonally, circling round and round the same words and phrases beginning with the word "static." For the first few minutes we hear violent noises: a train hooting through the countryside, dogs barking, machinery crashing, the galloping of kangaroos.

 About PoeticA
West Australian poet John Kinsella wrote Perth Poem specifically as an acoustic work for radio to be realised by sound artist Ron Sims.
In undertaking a radio work, John Kinsella was confronted with writing for the ear alone, of thinking in terms of image building through sound alone, with no written page for reference or visual clues to define the meaning of text.
The result is a strikingly captivating piece of radio, a marvellously evocative poem, an uneasy canvas of a modern city.
