Why? Ultimately, I think, because positivity is more persuasive (smacking less of prejudices) and thus more of a force of change. When you deconstruct the awfulness of something, you might entertain and enliven those who already agree with you but you've got to be a damned good shot to change anyone's mind.<br /><br />That said, I *would* like to see more critical reviewing, and I'd start by saying that the obvious flaw in Wright's poetry (disclaimer: I haven't read the pamphlet, only what's freely available on various websites) is that the rhymes are predictable (when the first line ends in 'can', you already know you're going to see 'man', 'plan' and 'gran' before the stanza is finished) and that the humour is rarely more cutting or subversive than taking the piss out of a stereotype.Jon Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925533133958148972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844720314719712531.post-11896145806906419632010-10-03T10:38:30.862-07:002010-10-03T10:38:30.862-07:00I'd rather people spent less time fussing over...I'd rather people spent less time fussing over why the media doesn't care and more time telling me why they think Wright's poetry is shit. It's silly to insist that the media should be paying more attention - that's not its purpose. However, if we think that a poem is not worthy of the name we should be justifying ourselves, expressing our reactions critically. Jon's now talking about the absence of critical reviewing - but he's as guilty as the next man. ;)<br /><br /><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844720314719712531.post-46309135693926790282010-09-25T11:30:36.276-07:002010-09-25T11:30:36.276-07:00I am interested in ideas having to do with dissona...I am interested in ideas having to do with dissonance and cacophony, harmony and melody.<br /><br />Not boasting but I've also seen Sun Ra more times than I can remember and Bill is definitely no Sun Ra! even if he wore a Silver cape and sequined beanie.

I've approached his work from the perspective of how it could be applied to poetics - something which I have a particular vested interest in, being a writer myself. <br /><br />I feel there is a strong case to be made regarding the oppressive nature of established language (musical or otherwise), coming as it often does from an 'official' position within our culture. The artist exploring expression outside the recognised mode is required to take an ambiguous approach; one that, as you stated, “no one can correct”. Certainly this creates a conspiracy, or language of the twins, between the performer and his work , but that seems to to be a precondition of the process. In comparison to some-one like Sun Ra, Orcutt is relatively conservative – he's not wrapped in tin-foil for starters. <br /><br />To link this back to poetics - there is always a degree of anxiety for the audience/reader, a questioning of how the work can be validated, coming as it does from something outside of immediately recognisable tropes or systems of interpretation. However, I think this is part of what makes Orcutt appealing. It challenges an audience to adopt a new set of tools for critical response, and suggests something outside of the accepted paths. It puts me in mind of a Time review of John Ashbery's poems: “[They] do not evade the real: they deny it the power to prevent other realities from being conceived.”<br /><br />Anyway, that is a lot of rambling from me. Thank you for the invigorating response, it's good because it encourages me to clarify and refine a number of sporadic thoughts into something more solid...<br /><br />Best,<br />AndyAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799062277195785739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844720314719712531.post-89573520070047132782010-09-24T17:24:21.130-07:002010-09-24T17:24:21.130-07:00Hi Andy:

It's like the secret language of twins. Bill and his guitar are like twins channeling some intense fucked up dialogue...at it's best moments it sounds like his guitar is a vacuum cleaner caught in a bee hive. It builds up like a house of cards and then collapses.<br />Living in Miami, I've seen Harry Pussy more times than I can remember. I like your remark about the music occupying a position of complete freedom.

Interesting point - I'm not sure how...Hi Kevin<br /><br />Interesting point - I'm not sure how well you know Orcutt's earlier work, so forgive me if I assume that you aren't that familiar with it. His playing with Harry Pussy was less about speed and agility, more about delivering short expressive movements - it forms a lot of the blueprint for what he is doing here. It's meant to be largely instinctive, and consequently I don't feel it's possible to apply a notion of "fucking up" so to speak. <br /><br />Perhaps the intention is for the piece to occupy a position of complete freedom, away from the restrictive concerns of playing "the right notes". In one respect this is very much about playing for one's self; however, in doing so it can also become a point of interest for the rest of us. <br /><br />To address the question of how many times can he demonstrate such a feat - well, it's enough for me that he did it once. Still, I think your questions are very valid ones, and I'd be keen to hear any further thoughts you may have.<br /><br />Best,<br />AndyAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799062277195785739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844720314719712531.post-23238375339187035092010-09-23T20:37:05.242-07:002010-09-23T20:37:05.242-07:00My primary thought is how many times can Bill demo...My primary thought is how many times can Bill demonstrate this feat of speed and agility? <br />My sense is that he is playing only for himself, which is fine.<br />Yet after a while it begins to remind me of a sword swallowing trick or someone juggling flaming guitars.

The fault doesn't lie at their door, but with platforms such as the Guardian, standing as they do to assert notions inexorably linked to the status quo and keeping a whole muddle of ideas about culutral consumerism running. <br /><br />Yes, as consequence a few fidgety readers will abbreviate these young men as being the entire of 'the young british poetry scene' but then it's ultimately their loss. The kind of person who tries to define their cultural experience by what they read in a mainstream press without doing any digging of their own deserves to miss out.<br /><br />In addition, I'm sure poets such as Tim and Luke have been at the receiving end of some pretty hardline bias themselves. Certainly it seems, by the tenacity of their responses, that the issue has been one they are keenly aware of. <br /> <br />I got more I could prattle on about, but I think I need to leave it here for the time being...<br /><br />AndyAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799062277195785739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844720314719712531.post-44685731257859791512010-09-14T09:51:02.276-07:002010-09-14T09:51:02.276-07:00I pretty much agree with Jon, so will try and keep...I pretty much agree with Jon, so will try and keep my comments brief and as unsuperfluous as possible.<br /><br />I think Jon's initial point, as I understand it – that people like Clare and Wright being labelled 'poets' or 'bona fide' in the mass media when they're more 'performers' than 'poets' in the conventional sense...

Like Jon said (I think) in one of his posts, if we were to read their poetry off the page, solely off the page, it would either be dismissed as not being poetry or as being very bad poetry. I haven't read Wright's latest pamphlet, the last thing I read of his was his poem on Hand+Star, and I assumed the only reason he was on there was publicity related. It wasn’t good, and I can’t see a reader who knows their poetry considering it anything other than bad.<br /><br />But anyway, brevity: that the average reader not involved in the world of poetry is likely, having read one of the many endorsements of 'poets' like Clare and Wright, to associate 'young British poetry' with what they're doing, which is in no way representative of all the innovative and exciting work that is being produced. I agree with you, Andy, in that poetry is exciting due to its exclusiveness, or its obscurity compared to other art forms, and that's fine; equally, I think it's legitimate to want to "rattle the bars", and to be frustrated about the fact that when the mass media does stoop down into the cracks to explore contemporary British poetry, it's the stuff that is predominantly stand-up, 'entertainment'-based and not the 'serious' poetry. (Forgive these silly inverted-comma words, it's just easier to begrudgingly use them.) <br /><br />I guess it just feels like a slap in the face that journalists (predictably) won’t bother investigating what I think it’s fair enough to say is better poetry, but will portray stuff that isn’t even all that rooted in poetry as being the best the young poetry scene has to offer. And so on and so forth.<br /><br />JoshJoshua Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465590492959460818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844720314719712531.post-88146654606050238332010-09-13T14:17:19.840-07:002010-09-13T14:17:19.840-07:00Hi Jon,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I&...Hi Jon,<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm not against you raising the points you made, it's clear they are ones you are passionate about, and as I stated I've felt similar on occasion myself. <br /><br />My concern is rather that these discussions tend to become massively reductive, and indeed seem to become more about people's personal fears and anxieties about how they are/want to be perceived. I feel this can especially be seen in the past few comments made on your blog. It's no longer an argument dealing with general issues but rather seems to be taken on a personal level. This isn't a criticism of you, or those who have chosen to take issue with what you are saying - it's more that the whole thing seems to have devolved into a series of increasingly spurious justifications.<br /><br />I would like to add that I have seen Tim Clare speak very eloquently with regards to the role of performance poetry as entertainment. It is a shame that there is not a better platform for some of these debates (no slur intended on your blog), or that people are less willing to engage in it outside the relative comfort of the internet. <br />Mind you, there were recent stories circulating of an unamed poet punching someone in the back of the head over a grammar correction, so maybe there's a reason. Look at me. A relative rumour mill.<br /><br />To clarify, the question of "authenticity" isn't one of insincerity or integrity - I meant it's more that the notion of the "authentic" poetic experience is one mired in numerous academic and popular definitions, all of which point to a largely repressive and regressive line of thinking. That's a debate for another time and another day though. <br /><br />AndyAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799062277195785739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844720314719712531.post-88010964158625595462010-09-13T13:30:21.274-07:002010-09-13T13:30:21.274-07:00Hi Andy,

Couple of points though:<br /><br />"The quicker we all come to terms with that the more pleasantly surprising the future will be."<br /><br />While, on a personal level, I completely agree with this (I must save what remains of my sanity, after all), I think you've just got to rattle the bars of the cage sometimes. You never know when it might set something off or change someone's mind. There's a balance to be achieved - I agree that if I did this sort of thing all the time I would be wasting my life!<br /><br />"“Authenticity” is bunk anyway."<br /><br />I don't actually agree with this. Well, I guess it depends what you mean. I don't expect poets to never play the crowd or to stick with being honest about their feelings, but I do think integrity in all art matters.Jon Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925533133958148972noreply@blogger.com
