The poet's novel

Recently in Jacket2

Turn of the century; end of the millennium

A look back at 'Jacket' in 1999

Jacket2

1999 was a great year for Jacket poets, even if it was a bit of a wild year outside. Some sectors speculated that the Y2K bug would spell the end of the Internet — and the end of Jacket by default — but more than that, the last year of the millennium was a time for reflection. It evoked a sense of nostalgia and a near-obligatory need to look back at the figurative footsteps in the sand. Jacket published issues 6–9 that year (January, April, July, and October), so why not take a moment to look back at the poets who were likewise looking back?

A few years ago, Richard Foreman stopped making theater so that he could devote himself full-time to making movies. PennSound is delighted to premiere his newest video, a major contribution to Foreman's works and to contemporary film/video. While we expect a theater screening in the next year, we wanted to make this available now on PennSound Cinema. Thanks to Richard Foreman.
