1) There will be an event tomorrow night at 7P at Cafe Vega to discuss the August Poetry Postcard project and share some of the best work. Postcarders and non-participants are welcome to attend. The cafe is at 1918 E. Yesler Way and is donating the space and will document the evening. This cafe is a small, locally-owned neighborhood business and you are encouraged to support it by attending our event, or just stopping there for coffee or soup.
2) Sam Hamill's new Book of Poems, Measured By Stone:
"Written from the point of view of a cranky, wandering poet of the old kind - part sage, part soul of the Buddha, and part rascal...Sam Hamill is one of the essential poetics and political voices of our time..." - Bruce Weigl
Curbstone Press has released Measured By Stone, Sam's latest work. A Pacific Northwest icon, now free to write, is back with poems inspired by some of his literary heroes like Tu Fu, Li Po, Denise Levertov and others, visits to Buenos Aires, at least one love poem and some Lessons From Thieves. A beautiful book
What is friendship in poetry, after all,
but it sweetens the soul and
thickens one's skin? I don't know the answer
to the questions that go unasked.
But I've seen the face behind the mask.

4) New Lawrence Ferlinghetti book Poetry as Insurgent Art
The former poet laureate of San Francisco and founder of City Lights Bookstore, Ferlinghetti starts the new edition of this ongoing project with three quotes, one of which is from Subcomandante Marcos: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but this is a revolution." His first line is I am signaling you through the flames. A collection mostly made of epigraphs, some pithy, some funny, some corny, some you'll disagree with, this small book also contains two 1978 essays, one of which "Modern Poetry is Prose" points out that modern poetry is prose because it "doesn't have much duende." Indeed. This book is his ars poetica and well worth your time. http://www.ndpublishing.com/books/ferlinghettipoetryasinsurgentart.html
5) Voices in Wartime, Wednesday, September 26, 2007, 7pm, South Puget Sound Community College at 2011 Mottman Rd SW Minnaert Center for the Performing Arts Olympia.

6) ANNOUNCING NICO VASSILAKIS’ TEXT LOSES TIME
ManyPenny Press is pleased to announce the release of TEXT LOSES TIME by Nico Vassilakis. This necessary work spans roughly 15 years of the author’s efforts in both textual and visual writing. It is Vassilakis’ first full-length book.
TEXT LOSES TIME
Afterword by Nick Piombino
188 pp.
AUTHOR’S STATEMENT:
This book intends to present both verbal and visual poetries as equal. Though notions of poetics have shifted and swerved, what has stayed solid throughout is that the alphabet, the word – however arranged – contains, within it, dual significance. First, the proto-historic role of the visual conveyance of represented fact. Second, the overriding desire of human utterance to substantiate existence. In conjoining these two models this book hopes to form a third, blurred value. Thought and experience are factors that accrue, while staring and writing help resolve and conclude. Text itself is an amalgam of units of meaning. As you stare at text you notice the visual aspects of letters. As one stares further, meaning loses its hierarchy and words discorporate and the alphabet itself begins to surface. Shapes, spatial relations and visual associations emerge as one delves further. Alphabetic bits or parts or snippets of letters can create an added visual vocabulary amidst the very text one is reading. One aim, to this end, is to merge and hinge visual and textual writing into workable forms. This book collects some of these experiments.
Nico Vassilakis was born in New York City in 1963. He has co-written and performed a one-man play about experimental composer Morton Feldman. Vassilakis is co-founder and curator for the Subtext Reading Series and editor of Clear-Cut: Anthology (A Collection of Seattle Writers).

Dear Raven contributors, subscribers, supporters:
Please join us on Tuesday, September 25th, for a special reading/gathering.
Raven Chronicles, along with Floating Bridge Press, will lose its office space
at Hugo House in the next few months. We've been here 10 years, since the
birth of HH, and it has been an adventure; every year different. Since this will
probably be the last reading we do at HH this year, we're inviting all past
contributors to join us, read a poem published in Raven, or read a short excerpt
from a prose piece published. We'll have a huge selection of books to sell ($1 each!):
books, local and national writers, we've received over the year. Bring a bag!
When: September 25, Tuesday, 7:00 p.m.
Where: Richard Hugo House, 1634-llth Avenue, Seattle
Contact: Phoebe Bosche 206-323-4316; cell: 941-2955 editors@ravenchronicles.org

Kevin Miller reads November 2nd, at 7:00 pm at King’s Books, 218 St. Helens Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402. Miller will read from his manuscript The Old Town Poems in fulfillment of a grant from the Tacoma Arts Commission. Free Admission.
10) Jerome Rothenberg's new Book.
The following is new and not in general circulation, but it can be had through Small Press Distribution, as follows:
THREE POEMS AFTER IMAGES BY NANCY TOBIN
Publisher: Hawk's Well Press
Price: $15.00
The latest of Jerome Rothenberg's many collaborations with artists, Three Poems takes off from Nancy Tobin's brilliantly colored and constructed paintings, to create a mutual celebration of the familiar and familial. The initiatory act here follows from Tobin's quasi-abstract images and her assessment of the mysteries and revelations that her art provides her.
11) WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS POETRY SYMPOSIUM
The William Carlos Williams Poetry Symposium (WCWPS) proudly announces
a special poetry reading to commemorate its annual celebration of WCW's
birthday in September and to acknowledge the 25th anniversary of the
renaming of the Williams Center.
The WCWPS reading will take place Sunday September 16, 2007 on the
Terrace of Rutherford's Williams Center from 1 PM to 4:30 PM. A
champagne reception will follow and the poets will be available to
sign books.
Four of WCW's family members will be attending and sharing
reminiscences.
OK, the postcard party tomorrow night at Cafe Vega and my 46th. Damn! My daughter Rebecca will be joining us and we'll be signing up a few more people for the Perennial Postcard List which starts next week.
I was elected President of the Washington Poets Association Sunday and we need some good Board Members to help continue the evolution of WPA and increase membership. Please call or email if you'd like to get involved. It is a working Board, so come only if you have time to oversee, or assist, one of the WPA's many fine projects, such as Burning Word or the Cascade Journal. Soon we'll announce the headliners for next year's Burning Word.
xoxo President Postcard.

4) An Important New Book from Jim Bodeen's Blue Begonia Press. From Jim:
Jody Aliesan’s True North/Nord Vrai has just been released from Blue Begonia Press. Jody’s story, and the story of the book are compelling in many of the ways that the book is compelling. Blue Begonia Press stretches out believing in the larger story Jody carries. Here’s part of the story.
"Jody Aliesan left the US three years ago. We expect that her longtime readers in the Pacific Northwest and farther afield will be interested in knowing what she's doing now, both personally and in her writing. A library service in New York ordered copies of True North/Nord Vrai immediately after we registered it with the Library of Congress. University Book Store in Seattle posted the book online two months ago and is collecting orders. Last week we received a request from a professor of political science in Tennessee who heard of the book word of mouth. Canadians have become aware of Aliesan's presence in their midst; without our approaching them, the Vancouver public library and the city's independent and chain bookstores already offer her most recent books. Aliesan has said she will not be crossing the border south again and that True North/Nord Vrai is such an exposure that personal appearances would be excessive. We will market her reticence and principle to pique curiosity and to focus readers on the book itself.”
It can be ordered directly from the press, at http://Bluebegoniapress.com

6) From Charles Potts:
At last Valga Krusa, a book David Bromige in his introduction to the first volume, The Yellow Christ calls "a neglected classic," is back in print in two volumes from Green Panda Press in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. You can obtain both YC and volume two, Laffing Water, for the ridiculously low price of $10 each with one $4 shipping and handling fee through paypal. Or if you want to buy them one at a time, they're still only $10 + 4 for shipping. Absent paypal send checks and MOs directly to the PO Box below. The books have the same size and feel, 4.5 by 7 paperback, as Kiot, and The Portable Potts, two other "classics" you can't have too many of. We no longer maintain or use a snail mail mailing list, so this may be the only notice you receive. After 30 years, (VK was first published in 1977), don't neglect it any longer. Your commands are our wish.
6) "The Power of Nightmares" will be shown at the Washington State History Museum on Tuesday, September 11, beginning at 6:30 p.m. It is a provocative BBC documentary that has been shown on television in Canada, most European, Asian and Middle Eastern countries, but not in the U.S.
In 2005 Adam Curtis, the British politics teacher who left Oxford University to go into documentary filmmaking, released this documentary, called "arguably the most important film about the 'war on terrorism' since the events of September 11" (Nation, June 20, 2005). It traces the history of two radical movements that have changed our world: American neo-conservatives and Islamic fundamentalists. Without a knowledge of how these movements developed, became allies, and then turned on each other, it would be difficult to understand the world today.
The evening is free and open to the public. The Washington State Museum is located at 1911 Pacific Ave. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and seating is limited. Sponsored by People for Peace Justice & Healing. For more information, call 253-535-7219.
