This critical reckoning by a celebrated poet re-envisions what scholarship can offer during times of crisis in the humanities and in our own lives. In his acclaimed 2016 book Diving Makes the Water Deep, Zach Savich wrote a memoir of cancer that was also a rowdy essay on teaching, the lyric, and poetic friendship. His urgent new book A Field of Telephones imagines new modes of criticism that can bloom beyond the university and heed the harmonics of the glitch. Through its combination of fictional lectures, performance texts, archival hijinks, and the personal, this book considers how “influence” can offer more than critical ventriloquism and how a “student” is one whose disorientations can reorient the field. Its mock-scholarly and more-than-scholarly modes focus on the life and legacy of the poets Theodore Roethke and Richard Hugo and on the peril at the heart of inspiration.
Fucked and Jolly is a reflective compendium of artist-to-artist interviews commemorating a boffo decade of The Exponential Festival. Squinny at the banters between playwrights, choreographers, and clowns as they encounter one another’s work and discuss prevailing trends of performance in the new millennium, the radical experiments being conducted to bring online onstage (and vice versa), and the post-Downtown performing arts ecosystem. A missive from the still-grinding heart of the contemporary performance community, Fucked and Jolly features conversations with Nic Adams, Tristan Allen, Leonie Bell, Eliza Bent, Theresa Buchheister, Ann Marie Dorr, Salomé Egas, Lena Engelstein, Shawn Escarciga, Lisa Fagan, David Greenspan, Ben Holbrook, Marissa Joyce Stamps, Hannah Kallenbach, Kate Kremer, Sleth Larson, Joey Merlo, Nicolás Noreña, Kyoung Park, Cristina Pitter, Lee Rayment, Evan Silver, Cameron Stuart, Christina Tang, Alex Tatarsky, SB Tennent, Ellpetha Tsivicos, and Bailey Williams.
This book was inspired by the tens of thousands of Afghans who became refugees overnight in the autumn of 2021. This book is not a comprehensive language book. It is meant for those who want to learn basic English in their native Persian/Farsi/Dari language. It includes the pronunciation of the English alphabet, numbers, common words and common short phrases for daily life. It is hoped that it would serve as a stepping stone into lifelong learning in a new world.
"Collects two performance/novels centering Sharon Bridgforth's southern-Black-butch-sheroe, bull-jean. First published by RedBone Press in 1998, the Lambda Literary Award-winning The bull-jean stories chronicles the course of lovve returning in the Life-times of bull-dog-jean. Set in the rural 1920s south, The bull-jean stories are an act of griot-anthropology, remembering the ancestor we never knew but always knew we needed--the raucous, sweet-talking, heart-aching wo'mn-lovvn-wo'mn bull-dog-jean and the fierce and beautiful community that surrounds her. Twenty-two years later, bull-dog-jean returns in bull-jean/we wake. Grieving the loss of their elders, seeking healing, the Narrator calls forward bull-jean. Through a series of dreams, porch prayers, and visitations from cussing conjurers, Black Mermaids, children that fly, and shapeshifting ole folk, bull-jean and dem guide the Narrator towards a realization of the sustaining power of love, memory, community, ritual and spiritual binding"--
