Conversations with Bengali poets

In 2002, the late American Kyoto-based expatriate poet, Cid Corman (1924–2004), gifted Fred Jeremy Seligson, an American poet living in Korea, a collection of his notebooks as a token of his appreciation for the financial support that Seligson had provided to him during some particularly difficult years. These “Uncollected Kyoto Notebooks” span the crucial period from 1960 to 1975, a time in which Corman was establishing himself both as a poet and as a skilled editor; his poetry journal Origin garnered much attention for the poets it published, including Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Lorine Niedecker, and Gary Snyder.

These excerpts are from The Uncollected Kyoto Notebooks of Cid Corman, Selections: 1960 to 1975. Selections
were made by Fred Jeremy Seligson and Gregory Dunne and submitted with the permission of Bob Arnold,
Literary Executor for the Estate of Cid Corman. Inquiries concerning Cid Corman can be addressed to longhousepoetry@gmail.com and copies of Corman's books are available for purchase at longhousepoetry.com.

Watches don't shoot (PoemTalk #190)

Aldon Nielsen, "Tray"

PoemTalk

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

Aldon Nielsen, William J. Harris, Tyrone Williams, hosted by Al Filreis, convened in the Arts Café of the Kelly Writers House, before a live audience, to discuss Aldon’s poem “Tray.” There are 29 sections in the poem; the group discussed the first 6. In the book titled Tray, published by Make Now Press in 2017, the title poem takes up the first 37 pages; the sections we discussed run to page 14. Usually, of course, we play an audio recording of the poem from we’re about to discuss as archived in PennSound, but on this day, because we had the honor of Aldon’s presence we asked him to perform those sections.
