"A development that seemingly repeats the stages already passed, but repeats them otherwise, on a higher basis (“negation of negation”), a development, so to speak, in spirals, not in a straight line; - a development by leaps, catastrophes, revolutions; - “breaks in continuity”; the transformation of quantity into quality; - the inner impulses to development, imparted by the contradiction and conflict of the various forces and tendencies acting on a given body, or within a given phenomena, or within a given society; - the interdependence and the closest, indissoluble connection of all sides of every phenomenon (while history constantly discloses ever new sides), a connection that provides a uniform, law-governed, universal process of motion – such are some of the features of dialectics as a richer (than the ordinary) doctrine of development." - V.I. Lenin

In 2006, Rob Fitterman invited several artists and poets to start a collective project where we would each receive a task to complete on the 1st day of each month. No other purpose or guidelines were preset. 12 of us agreed and saw the project through to completion. We are: Tim Davis, Monica de la Torre, Stacy Doris, Robert Fitterman, Sabine Herrmann, Klaus Killisch, Carol Mirakove, Yedda Morrison, Kim Rosenfield, Lisa Sanditz, Rod Smith and Juliana Spahr. In 2009, we invited Dirk Rowntree to design the book carte blanche and Patrick Lovelace agreed to publish it in all its glory. Finally, we’re done.

D.A. Powell & David Trinidad

D.A. Powell and David Trinidad will read from their collaboration, By Myself: An Autobiography. Composed of individual sentences drawn from three hundred separate memoirs penned by everyone from Lana Turner to Harpo Marx, this book unfolds as the story of a singular, plural, famously anonymous character. Frequently hilarious, as familiar as it is strange, Powell and Trinidad, both widely published poets, offer a new take on hybridity, commonality and the written life.

Open Letter re: Lisa Robertson

Open Letter is seeking submissions for a special issue dedicated to the work of Lisa Robertson. One of Canada’s most innovative and challenging writers, Robertson’s work reveals a persistent interest in the relationships among epistemology, civic space, gender, language and the visual. Her poetic engagements with thinkers ranging from Virgil and Lucretius to William Wordsworth and Emily Montague, as well as her work in and against forms such as the epic, the pastoral, the essay and the manifesto reflect her ongoing interest in literary and philosophical history and the pleasures and politics of form. This issue invites writers and critics to engage with any aspect of Robertson’s work. Possible topics might include (but are certainly not limited to) Robertson’s work and: Space, architecture, and/or geographies, Feminist poetics, Kootenay School of Writing, Genre (poetry, prose, essay, manifesto), Form, Classical texts, Philosophy, The archive, Visual art, The epic, The pastoral, Language poetry.

Please send your submissions by email to Heather Milne h.milne@uwinnipeg.ca by June 1, 2010
