Ellington Club presents 'A Saucy Little Secret'

From 31st July to 4th August at 6pm A Saucy Little Secret set to Scandalise Perth – One week only

Don’t miss this opportunity to see HMS PopUp Productions ‘A Saucy Little Secret’, a masterful modern theatre cabaret following the lives of five strong women whose music and attitudes influenced the development of modern music, queer lifestyle and racial tolerance. Famous not only for their music, but also for their progressive and alternative attitudes to sexuality, race issues and relationships, Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Gladys Bentley, Ethel Waters and Alberta Hunter, all broke into the music scene through the buffet flats and rent houses of Harlem, but rose to be successful and wealthy recording artists in their own right. Perth’s premier jazz, soul and blues musicians come together to share their untold stories. Kali Caramia, Libby Hammer, Odette Mercy, Natalie Gillespie and Harry Deluxe give five daring performances, weaving their way through stories both dangerous and decadent, often tragic and comic all at once. Spectacular Perth celebrity, Magnus Danger Magnus, holds court with the ladies as a most engaging, and slightly dangerous, Maitre D. Click here for tickets

Long Story, Short - Literary Journal COMING SOON

Short stories too short for you? As a reader? As a writer? Well, good news on the way. Read on -

Monthly (long) short stories are coming your way...

​We love short shorts. Flash is fantastic. But as the great short story is shrinking to 3000 words or less in many literary journals, we've begun to wonder Where have all the long short stories gone? The Long Story, Short literary journal will be the home of stories between 4000 and 9000 words, launching in mid-October 2012. One story will be published every month, and submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis. (For guidelines, check out the Submissions page.) Think of us as the literary equivalent of the slow food movement.  We are also seeking original artwork and photography which will accompany the stories.

Erotic Flaubert

The following text is from some notes made after a translation of 

Erotic Pages from Flaubert's 

*Voyage en Egypte*

 by Eric Mader-Lin

5) Flaubert lent his manuscript of this travel journal to Louise Colet, a married woman with whom he had recently broken off an affair of several years. Colet found the detail concerning the bedbugs repugnant. In a letter, Flaubert defended himself: "You tell me Kuchiouk Hanem's bedbugs degrade her in your eyes. As for me, it was just that that I found enchanting. Their sickening odor mingled with the perfume of her body dripping with sandalwood. I want there to be a bitterness in everything, an eternal slap in the face right in the midst of our triumphs, and even desolation itself accompanying our enthusiasm. This reminds me of Jaffa, where, in entering, I breathed in simultaneously the scent of the lemon trees and that of rotting cadavers: the torn-up cemetery allowed one to see skeletons with the flesh half rotted away, while at the same time the green bows of the trees balanced over our heads their golden fruits. Don't you sense how this poetry is complete, how it is the great synthesis?"

6) In the letter to Louise Colet quoted above, Flaubert writes: "I return to Kuchiouk. It is we who think of her, but she would hardly think of us. We are fabricating the aesthetic on her account, while at the same time that famous traveler, that interesting man who had the honors of her couch, he has completely departed from her memory, like so many others. Oh, how traveling makes one modest! One sees the tiny place one has in the world."

Lew Welch, lost poet of the Beat generation

RING OF BONE 
Lew Welch  
City Lights Publishers 
$17.95 paperback, 256 pages  

Lew Welch is the one that got away. Gary Snyder called him "the most talented, the golden boy," the poet who wrote constantly but published only one major book, the seeker who lost his way, the drinker and depressive who tried to hold it together and couldn't, the man who went in the woods and never came back. 

Welch (1926-71) went to Reed College in the late 1940s with Snyder and Philip Whalen, three friends who lived together for a time in a house on Southeast Lambert Street and inhaled poetry like it was oxygen. Snyder and Whalen became famous as part of the Beat generation; Welch did a book with Jack Kerouac, who based a character in "Big Sur" on him, but didn't get the same notoriety as his peers. 

Welch is best known, sad to say, for the last day of his life, May 23, 1971. He was staying at Snyder's place in the Sierra Nevada mountains and planned to build a cabin on Allen Ginsberg's land. In a deep depression, he took a revolver and hiked in the mountains. 

"I never could make anything work out right and now I'm betraying my friends," was the first line of a note he left behind. "I went Southwest" was the last. His body was never found. 

"Ring of Bone: Collected Poems" is Welch's major work. Exuberant, funny, dark, hypnotic, Welch's poems are as infused with nature as Snyder's and as spiritually alive as Whalen's. They're technically brilliant, grounded in form and wildly experimental. They progress from the early poems (Welch was first published in Janus, the Reed literary magazine) through the "Hermit Poems" from his time in a cabin in the Trinity Alps to his final brief prose poems. 

The book was out of print until City Lights Books came through with a new edition that has a foreword by Snyder and some new material. A few more angles on Welch: 

Welch, Whalen and Richard Brautigan lived together in San Francisco in 1964. Don Carpenter, another writer with Oregon ties who committed suicide, described Welch at the time to William Hjortsberg in "Jubilee Hitchhiker" as "tall, thin, handsome, always wearing a crooked smile. Welch liked to think of himself as a hip con man. He liked to drink and sit in the Jazz Workshop and listen to good music. He loved Sausalito and the No Name Bar, and he loved to play pool and skulk about the Tenderloin." 

In June of that year, Welch met a woman named Magdalena Cragg at the No Name Bar. She had two sons from a previous marriage. One of them, Hugh, loved Welch and later took his name in his honor when he became a musician, Huey Lewis. 

Welch was an advertising writer for a while and is credited with coming up with the slogan "Raid kills bugs dead." It's a good story, and it might be true. 

Snyder never doubted that Welch killed himself. "There's always been a curiosity about him. Part of it is that his body was never found." 

It's the mystery of it. 

"Partly the mystery of it. I'm convinced that he did commit suicide. Lew was a social guy. He couldn't disappear and not tell us." 

Whalen described Welch's writing process to Hjortsberg: "Lewie, of course, was always putting himself down all of the time. He would show you some piece of writing and say, 'Here's that thing that I started.' And you'd say, 'Well, terrific, Lewie.' Mumble, groan, mumble. 'No good, no ... good.' It's just that he was always very persnickety. He wanted everything to be absolutely perfect. He had this facility for working in his head which was really remarkable. It would take months before he would commit anything to paper, and then he wouldn't like that." 

Welch to Snyder in an April 27, 1960 letter: "My long depression a dark night of the liver, not the soul." 

"Sober, the world looks just the same. I have been (sneakily, not even my closest friends really dug -- though Joanne (Kyger) seems to have suspected) half-loaded since 1952. However, sober it is easier to realize that the atrocities are not arranged for my personal despair." 

William Carlos Williams came to Reed in 1950 for a reading and became something of a mentor to Welch, who sent him a copy of one of his books with a note in 1960: "It's been so long since we wrote, I feel I ought to reintroduce myself: I was that kid at Reed in 1950 who wrote what you called 'the Stein script.' Then I spent a fine afternoon with you and Flossie (Williams) -- we talked about everything and Flossie cooked a fine pot roast. 

"We stopped writing in 1951 or 2 when I cracked up in Chicago. From then on it's the same story: learning, in America, how to crack out not up -- many failures, a few gains, good friends though, and the continuing deep certainty about the first things: what always brings up, with a little help, through." 

Welch to his mother, Nov. 4, 1950: "We do not speak the language of England and our poetry should not have the English form. We talk American, and the poet's job is to intensify this dialect, sharpen it into poetry, keep the words clean and sharp, and MAKE things out of them." 

Two lines from one of Snyder's favorite Welch poems: 

Guard the Mysteries! 

Constantly reveal them! 

-- Jeff Baker

A Day In The Life - for Zimmy

My chest clenches
and I fumble in my pocket
for the Nitrolingual spray.

I’m walking
my damaged heart and dog
through tall gums.

You can watch so much
television, you can nap
just so many hours

then you itch
to do things, simple things
like stretch your legs

and walk.
I stand under a tree
to catch its breath.

A Nitrolingual mist
is working its way
through dank slums

to open the way ahead.
Zimmy sits at my feet, tongue
hanging like

a flag at half mast.
‘Come on,’ I say,
‘let’s go.’


***

in Undercover of Lightness: New and Selected Poems, pub. 2012 Walleah Press http://walleahpress.com.au/purchases.html

Zimmy (2008-2012) RIP

Our much-loved rascal died today. She chased one too many

4X4s and died instantly after being hit in the head. 

Rest in peace, our little pal. We won't ever forget you.

if youre looking for some interesting reading, which will challenge your conceptions of what language is and can do, i suggest you check out these books.


language is more than dictionaries, canons, and/or metrics----it is sound, visuality, and mainly experience---the interest to experiment with experience is what makes for a challege to the readerly mind.

but if the reader has an open mind-----you may find something of interest here-----free to read, free to download, free to print out, and free to share with friends.
