No.1 (2011)
Editorial
Dr Laura López Fernández
"Experimental" poetry is often regarded as being as much a marker of temporal as it is of stylistic distinction, a synonym almost for Postmodernity - conjuring up as it does connotations of the post-avant-guard movements that have arisen since the Second World War (in particular such movements as neo-Concretism and Lettrism) with their customary predilection for abstraction and intermodality. |

Private Bestiary: selected unpublished poems, 1944-1993
By Kendrick Smithyman, edited by Scott Hamilton (Titus Books, 2010)
reviewed by Tim Bowron (Spanish Program, University of Canterbury, New Zealand)
The poet Kendrick Smithyman (1922-1995) remains - as Scott Hamilton points out in his introduction to this volume - a largely unknown figure in the history of New Zealand literature. Despite enjoying a certain following among those who inhabit university English departments he has never acquired the level of recognition enjoyed by the likes of Allan Curnow and R.A.K. Mason (among the earlier generation of NZ poets) or James K. Baxter and Hone Tuwhare (in the younger cohort).

Nuevos libros, nuevas horas
Felipe Cussen (Instituto de Estudios Avanzados - Universidad de Santiago de Chile)
Un libro es un objeto cuyo ritmo de lectura no es automático: depende de la ansiedad, de la paciencia, de la concentración de quien pasa sus páginas. Hay un tipo de libro, sin embargo, que tiene el poder para conseguir lo contrario: su contenido regula las actividades de los hombres. Al menos eso es lo que pretendían, hace algunos siglos, los libros de horas. |

Khlebnikov vs. Mayakovsky
Anastasia Kostetskaya (Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University)
Khlebnikov vs. Mayakovsky: a Budetlianin and a Futurist in the Mirror of Their Verbal Painting
The visual aspect of writing is important for the reader's understanding of the author's message. Poetic works created by fellow-futurists Velimir (Vladimir) Khlebnikov and Vladimir Mayakovsky produce very different visual images, which require an imaginative employment of different artistic materials. In the case of Khlebnikov, it is watercolor, while Mayakovsky's verbal images are visualized as cardboard collages. Understanding the writers' philosophies about the nature of creativity contributes to the readers' perception of their visual imagery. |

Poetry in the Virtual Environment
O.J. Cade (Centre for Science Communication, University of Otago, New Zealand)
Poetry is accessed and experienced according to medium, and the primary characteristics of that access change as the medium changes. If oral poetry is characterised by shared, communal access, and print poetry by private, individual access, then cyber-poetry is both a communal and private experience - one that is reinforced by the democratising, collaborative and immediate virtual environment. |

El sentido del experimentalismo en la poesÍa de Juan Eduardo Cirlot
Félix Morales Prado Blog
Aunque es de sobra sabido, nunca está de más recordar el enfrentamiento que siempre hubo en la república de las letras entre los partidarios de la “poesía tradicional” (llamémosle así) y los innovadores o vanguardistas. Esta beligerancia se hace especialmente cruda con la aparición de la poesía experimental. Los poetas convencionales niegan contundentemente que tales manifestaciones sean poesía ni nada que se le parezca. |

Cirlot y el perfil agudo del ave surrealista
Juan Ramón Vélez García (Universidad de Salamanca)
La labor de Juan Eduardo Cirlot en el campo de la cultura abarcó diversas facetas (crítica literaria y de arte, música...), pero su cultivo de la poesía ha permanecido en un plano secundario hasta fechas relativamente tardías, cuando ha comenzado a valorarse esa parcela de su amplio trabajo, tal vez la más importante. |

The troubles with "Speech"
Lawrence Upton
“Speech” is a generic title which I apply to a wide range of writings, nearly all of them multi-voice, including Water lines (Chalk Editions, 2009). There are some examples at the end of this essay. For my purposes here the heading refers to the writings that Tina Bass and I have sought to perform over the last three years or so. More recently, others have joined in so that we can handle three voice work as well as two voice. |
