Michael Basinski book reviews - the-hold.com/may 2004 Instant sound poem!), images torn form other sources, a few drawn and other appropriated images, some cut out words and written words in English and the four or five slabs of material then joined create a seemingly spontaneous, populace juxtaposed paper page sculpture that is the poem. And, as all prolific writers, all that comes into his field as a human finds itself transmogrified via art into his art — prose and prosy poetry and prose prose. Simple and clear he has measured the network of the poetry for which he has deep affection and is thereby infected with its poetics and then because the spirit of it is in him he makes this magazine, this thing of pearl beauty for those guests at his table. www.the-hold.com /library/basinskimay04.html

Catchcal.Com > Kaleidoscope > Culture > Literature > Modern Era In Bengali Literature However, Bengali Prose started to become more natural and spontaneous from the 17th century A.D. It was in 1778 that the first Bengali alphabet in metallic inscription appeared in 'A Grammar of the Bengali Language'. At the inception of the 19th century, Bengali prose was confined within the limits of a handful of contemporary journals and magazines and sporadic debates and discussions hither and thither. The oldest specimen of Bengali prose found till date, is a missive written by King Nara Narayan of CoochBihar in 1515 A.D. The language employed here, though not essentially modern, is not incomprehensible. www.catchcal.com /kaleidoscope/literature/literature2.asp   (2166 words)

Geoffrey Sampson: SUSANNE Scheme The LUCY Corpus represents written English in modern Britain, ranging from published prose to the less-skilled writing of young adults, and spontaneous writing by nine-to-twelve-year-old children. The SUSANNE Corpus contains written English only; but a later project, the CHRISTINE Project, has produced a counterpart of the SUSANNE Corpus based on samples of the spoken language, drawn from spontaneous speech by speakers chosen to represent a cross-section of the present-day British population. The SUSANNE Corpus was produced as an adjunct to the development of detailed analytic standards; consequently it could only be as big as was compatible with individual attention (often, attention by several individuals) to almost every difficult analytic decision posed by its language. www.grsampson.net /RSue.html   (2166 words)

ww1.htm The only strict antithesis to Prose is Metre.] Poetry sheds no tears such as Angels weep,' but natural and human tears; she can boast of no celestial Ichor that distinguishes her vital juices from those of prose; the same human blood circulates through the veins of them both. For all good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings; but though this be true, Poems to which any value can be attached, were never produced on any variety of subjects but by a man who being possessed of more than usual organic sensibility had also thought long and deeply. This effect is always produced in pathetic and impassioned poetry; while, in lighter compositions the ease and gracefulness with which the Poet manages his numbers are themselves confessedly a principal source of the gratification of the Reader. www.ux1.eiu.edu /~csmhp/ww1.htm   (2440 words)

"The Future of Poetry" When critics are waiting to pounce upon poetic style on exactly the same grounds as if it were prose, the poets tremble. We forget entirely the enormous technical difficulty of the poetic art, and we examine the meanings of poems with a more and more microscopic analysis; we examine them in fact just as strictly as we examine the meanings of a prose which was composed without any handicap of metrical distrac This brings him to a sort of Decadence (E. Cummings is the most popularly accessible; Hart Crane, the severest)--to a breaking up of a poetic idiom which, through the course of English Poetry, has been rooted in the vitality of spontaneous expression--spoken language, however elaborate and ornate it may have occasionally appeared to be. www.english.uiuc.edu /MAPS/poets/m_r/ransom/future.htm   (2440 words)

Visions of Cody Often regarded as one of the best examples of Kerouac's 'spontaneous prose', 'Visions of Cody' is a lively description and celebration of life, and in particular the life of Cody Pomeray. The exhaustive nonstop descriptive prose gives the novel a sense of urgency and honesty which 'stream of consciousness' writing can emit. The novel painstakingly describes the details of life, and attempts to explain the encompassing emotions which make Cody who he is. We experience Cody's journey from youth to manhood, even up to the point of being presented with transcripts of Cody and Jack's actual conversations. www.tijean.freeserve.co.uk /cody.htm   (2440 words)

Literature Prose can be spontaneous, whereas poetry must usually be composed with care over a period of time. Poetry, also known as verse, may be defined in opposition to prose, which is language which is meant to convey meaning, with lesser emphasis on mood, word choice, and exact form of expression. Poetry is a literary work meant to be read or spoken, relying strongly on word choice, sounds, and imagery to create a mood in the audience's mind or ear which may be romantic, ominous, wistful, sensual, inspiring, or daring. www.artzia.com /Literature   (819 words)

Beat Generation Bookstore Ginsberg's poetry, influenced by the writings of Walt Whitman and the spontaneous prose of his friend Jack Kerouac, is open, forthright, didactic, and written fast without revision. The Beat Generation started a movement that began in the early 1950's with a small and tightly connected group of young writers who demonstrated a care-free, often wreckless and unquestionably fresh approach to literature as well as a demonstrative social stance toward what was sometimes referred to as "The Establishment". The youngest of the Beat writers, Ginsberg was a lover to both William Burroughs and Kerouac and acted as the prophet and public face of the group--serving as Kerouac's unofficial agent for On the Road and helping Burroughs bring The Naked Lunch to the attention of publishers. 60sfurther.com /Books-Beat.htm   (5776 words)

Library of America: Charles Brockden Brown: Three Gothic Novels Brown's first-person narrators often loiter at the brink of madness, so their dense, self-absorbed and hysterical prose seems perfect for these tales of sudden violence, mayhem and murder, devastating epidemics, religious obsession, human spontaneous combustion, somnambulism and mesmerism, the degradation of innocence and the triumph of criminality. Poe receives the credit, but it was this Philadelphia native (1771-1810) who in these bizarre works written with remarkable speed in 1798 and 1799...established the young country's post-Revolution landscape as a dark, horrific and inexplicable realm. "In 1846, the transcendentalist Margaret Fuller called Brown one of 'the dark masters,' because it was Brown's genius to descend, precipitously, into the twisty maze of a lonely mind that was trying to think its way back to the light. www.loa.org /volume.jsp?RequestID=124§ion=reviews   (251 words)

Jack Kerouac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was at about the time that Kerouac wrote The Subterraneans that he was approached by Ginsberg and others to formally explicate exactly how he wrote it, how he did Spontaneous Prose. Kerouac is considered by some as the "King of the Beatniks" as well as the "Father of the Hippies". Kerouac was born Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac, in Lowell, Massachusetts, to a family of French-Americans. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jack_Kerouac   (3119 words)

Lowell National Historical Park - Jack Kerouac Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) wrote a spontaneous, sometimes raw prose that captured the immediacy of experience. Kerouac also wrote five books largely set in Lowell, notably The Town and the City, in which he calls his hometown "Galloway": The Merrimac River, broad and placid, flows down to it from the New Hampshire hills, broken at the falls to make frothy havoc on the rocks... Born of French-Canadian parents in the Centralville area of Lowell, Jean-Louis Kerouac grew up immersed in the city's ethnic, working-class culture. www.nps.gov /lowe/loweweb/Lowell_History/kerouac.htm   (183 words)

Jack Kerouac After studying briefly at Columbia University, he achieved fame with his spontaneous and unconventional prose, particularly the novel On the Road (1957). After the success of this work Kerouac produced a series of thematically and structurally similar novels, including The Dharma Bums and The Subterraneans (both 1958), Doctor Sax (1959), Lonesome Traveler (1960), and Big Sur (1962). His loosely structured, autobiographical works reflect a peripatetic life, with warm but stormy relationships and a deep social disillusionment assuaged by drugs, alcohol, mysticism, and biting humor. www.levity.com /corduroy/kerouac.htm   (118 words)

On the Road: The Jack Kerouac Manuscript - SFPL.org Jack Kerouac wrote the manuscript for the now classic Beat Generation novel On the Road within a 20-day period in New York City in 1951 employing “spontaneous prose,” a nonstop, unedited style inspired by letters from his friend Neal Cassady. Kerouac’s manuscript is a 120-foot long scroll consisting of a series of single-spaced typed twelve-foot long rolls of paper that have been taped together.

Liar! Liar!: Jack Kerouac -Novelist Greenwich Exchange Leroi Jones usefully re-christens these jewel centers Kerouac's 'trigger inferences', points in the prose which are 'usually very easy to recognize [as] the key-image... The point that, as James T. Jones puts it, Kerouac therefore always 'admits a measure of control' needs considerable emphasis, since so much stress has understandably often been placed on the spontaneity of Kerouac's 'spontaneous bop prosody'. Rather than considering, then, Kerouac's place in literary history, a central concern of my study will be to explore the saturated relationship between Kerouac's writings and their socio-cultural contexts, and how this bears upon Kerouac's representations of subjectivity. www.greenex.co.uk /literature/kerouac2c.html   (2890 words)

CONTEXT: Issue No. 14 Further, we have writers employing an original neodadaist, neopataphysical, or nonsensical diction (the prose writers and poets Eugen Brikcius and Eduard Vacek); others are of an existentialist orientation (Lubomír Martinek, who tends to the essay; the novelist Ivan Matousek; the poets Jirí Gold, Viola Fischerová, Katerina Rudcenková, and Pavla Suranská). The dominant theme is not a schematic “programming of beauty,” poetry generated by machine, but rather a spontaneous lyricism drawing on, among other things, the poetics of Apollinaire’s Calligrams or Mallarme’s postsymbolist A Throw of the Dice that will never eliminate chance. The poetic world presented by Michal Sanda in the 1990s is just as variegated as the collection of manual jobs that this Prague native has passed through since the 1980s—working as, among other things, a stonemason, bookseller, hunter of fowl, organ-grinder, feather-binder on an ostrich farm, and painter of railroad cars. www.centerforbookculture.org /context/no14/kopac.html   (2890 words)

New England Review: James Tate's secret co-pilot Instead, I wish to focus attention on a previously unexamined relationship between Fyodor Dostoevsky's prose and Tate's formative development as a poet. The word choice is apt: like singing, Tate's own art melds together dimensions of studied practice with the appearance of spontaneous outburst; also like singing, Tate's use of language concentrates on sound as much as sense. Tate offers that "There are many [influences] I would like to claim, but I'm not so sure the evidence shows up in my poems anywhere in particular." In the case of Dostoevsky, it seems to me that the "evidence" is there, clearly and extensively, once we know where to look and what to compare. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3802/is_200204/ai_n9057725   (1220 words)
