Publishing during the COVID-19 crisis

Jacket2

Like many of you, we are adapting to increased safety measures around COVID-19 at the University of Pennsylvania and other campuses. Our work here at Jacket2 will likely be delayed and/or interrupted; our publication schedule for both commentaries and J2 content at large will be slower than usual as we adapt to the global pandemic. Many of our editors are working remotely, and we will continue to curate Jacket2 as a space to convene and sustain a life in/through poetry during times of scarcity, stress, and shifting imagined communities. We remain committed to bringing you open access content when institutional access and travel for research become compromised and complicated.

A note from the editors and publishers of Jacket2:

Charles Bernstein and Richard Tuttle's 'Echologs'

Charles Bernstein

Charles Bernstein and Richard Tuttle, Echologs

After the poetry match in Virgil’s Eclogues, III
with an appendix comparing earlier translations.

Damoetas
To all’s high, guys! everything that echoes!,
what gives ground and by Jove’ll cure our songs.

Menalcas
But it’s me that beauty loves!; all her charms
surround, crowns of sweetest ruddy roses

Jackqueline Frost: 'The Antidote' // 2013

History is not sucker free

David Brazil

Jackie and I had already been hanging out a lot during the summer of 2011, when a series of Anticut marches protesting austerity roved through downtown Oakland as one symptom of the roiling discontent in the wake of the Arab Spring that would shortly manifest in Occupy. Police attention had grown more acute with each march, and there was a moment during the last protest where I was sure she had been cordoned off for arrest, as I’d been in 2008. The old panic rose up in me, but thankfully I was mistaken.
