the avant garde looks amazing in argentina and chile. although it may not be the avant garde there.
what little i've read of south africa also. david buuck knows this scene. check out that Tripwire issue that I assigned for fin de siecle poetries that came into bookstore late.
england looks like here to me. but i'm sure that would piss of the english. actually the avant garde there looks a lot to me like language poetry but i think they think otherwise. (i'm convinced scott b. is an english poet at heart.) interesting stuff also in black british poetry.
these are all great ideas. more please.
it is a big poetry weekend. make yr plans now!
NOT TO BE MISSED . . .

As a poet, novelist, critic, playwright, editor, and man about town, Killian is a wonder and a force, devoted to scene and text. His many books include Argento Series and Little Men and he is an editor of both Mirage #4/Periodical and Krupskaya Books. Michael Magee is the editor of Combo and the author of a new book, ms, as well as the online project "My Angie Dickinson." His previous books include Morning Constitutional. He joins us from Rhode Island.
SUNDAY
Laynie Brown & Susanne Dyckman invite you to a
Fall Poetry Reading Series - 632 Evelyn Ave.
09/26: Norma Cole, Susan Gevirtz, Christine Moore
10/03: Valerie Coulton, Jaime Robles, Ed Smallfield
10/10: James Brook, Maxine Chernoff, Paul Hoover
10/17: Jeanne Hueving, Leslie Scalapino, Laura Walker
All readings are on Sundays, beginning at 3pm. Walk down the driveway on the left side of the house (passing a Toyota van) to the backyard gate (which will be on your right). We'll provide drinks and snacks, though contributions are welcome. Bring a jacket or sweater, as two large redwood trees in the yard can block the afternoon sun.
The address is 632 Evelyn Ave., Albany 94706. The house is light gray with a very large birch tree in the front yard and wisteria covering the front porch. The phone number is 510 527 4635.
Driving directions: >From Oakland/San Francisco, take 80 going north to Berkeley/Sacramento. You can take either of two freeway exits, the Gilman St. (Berkeley) exit or the Buchanan/Albany exit. Taking either exit, turn right at the end of the freeway off-ramp and drive up to San Pablo Ave (less than a mile from the freeway). Turn left on San Pablo Ave. Follow San Pablo Ave. past Solano Ave. (a major intersection). The third block beyond Solano Ave. is Portland Ave. (There's a Sizzler restaurant on the corner of Portland and San Pablo.) Turn right on Portland and continue up Portland 5 blocks until you get to Evelyn. Turn left onto Evelyn. If you pass Portland, you can also turn right on the next street, which is Garfield, identified by the Hotsy Totsy Club bar on the corner. Continue up Garfield to Evelyn (again, 5 blocks) and turn right onto Evelyn.>From Sacramento and points north, it's easiest to take the Gilman St. (Berkeley) exit off 80. Turn left at the end of the freeway ramp and follow the directions above.
BART directions:Take the Richmond-Fremont line to the El Cerrito Plaza station (the first station after North Berkeley). Exit and walk south, back towards Berkeley. You can walk back through the El Cerrito Plaza, or you can follow the BART tracks (there's a path under the tracks). Evelyn Ave is parallel to and one block below the train tracks. From the far south end of the shopping center walk two and a half blocks to the 600 block of Evelyn, between Garfield and Portland.
