LEMON HOUND (06.09.2010 10:08h): Show Us The Money
Grey Square Logo via Stop BC Arts Cuts This post is a bit long, and might be boring if you're not in/from BC, but it's important. Seems appropriate on Labour Day to post about the recent developments to arts funding here in good old British Columbia, also variously known as the Left Coast, Lotusland, LaLaLand, and the province that, even before the recent, well-publicized cuts, dedicated the [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (05.09.2010 13:44h): Random London
From my 4.5 mile Looking for Art in London Walk. Lots to report if I ever find time again... [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (02.09.2010 03:59h): Atwood & Parton
No idea where they found this, but thanks to the people here for posting it...couldn't resist. Are they sharing performance tips? Talking about the connection between 9 to 5 and Handmaid's Tale? Treatment of small furry animals? How to tease out a fro? Make up tips? There is an essay from 1976 posted on line now. Thanks Emily for Tweeting. [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (31.08.2010 02:09h): Just for fun
And because I'm almost as big a fan of Glee as Cabaret. Though seriously, Fox? Fox? Okay, actually no, can't put Glee and Cabaret in the same sentence. But it is fun. [Link] [Cache]
How to Write (26.08.2010 20:00h): Reading by derek beaulieu
On August 21st derek beaulieu gave a reading from his new work of conceptual fiction How to Write at Monastiraki in Montreal. I apologize in advance for the wobbly video... I have a lot of things going for me, but a steady hand is apparently not one of them. If you can get past the trembling screen, though, you'll get to enjoy beaulieu's reading of the first piece from How to Write entitled [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (25.08.2010 17:04h): Wow, good news!
On Tuesday, the Pacific Salmon Commission announced it expects as many as 25 million fish will return to the Fraser this season. That's the largest return since 1913 and more than double what was forecast just a few weeks ago. On Tuesday night, fisherman were down on the docks preparing for what may prove to be an epic fishing trip. Stewart McDonald said he does not plan to sleep for the entire [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (25.08.2010 14:27h): Holy Obviousness Batman
No offense to the writers on either list, but this entire thing? It's depressing. It's obvious. It's old. And it's certainly not productive. It's kind of shameful actually. To wrap this in a guise of neutrality when it's an old turf war. >> I'll paste the comment I left on Steven Beattie's site and hope for a productive dialog out of this.

LEMON HOUND (24.08.2010 21:38h): Top Ten Things Wrong With NP's Critique-let of Erin Moure
Because Reimer never met a fray she didn't belatedly jump on. "Cryptic without being particularly interesting, stricken with various political and linguistic theories, and barren of the sort of grace one typically looks to poetry to provide, it’s all too easy to take a pass on."1. Use of the adjective barren in a micro-review of a woman. But at least they didn’t call her hysterical! 2. Multiple [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (24.08.2010 20:32h): Against Micro Moments
We steal text. We manipulate it. We copy and assemble. We Tweet before we've fully formed our thoughts. We make lists of Best/Worst Over/Under Rated. We. Operate. In. Bites. We can't seem to give ourselves space to, what? to what? think. This is your brain on computers: ...technology makes the tiniest windows of time entertaining, and potentially productive. But scientists point to an [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (18.08.2010 16:09h): Poetry Magazine gets up in your face
Please read the following pieces posted recently on Poetry Foundation, one by Abe Louise Young, the other by Raymond McDaniel. These are timely pieces that prod at questions of appropriation. Here is a link to the source of McDaniel's appropriation, and here's a link to one of the poems which I have added above after finding a video of the same poem . Of course there is a sense assumption [Link] [Cache]
Jesus Loves Everyone (16.08.2010 22:42h): Do We Need Gay Bookstores?
In North American cities the rents are rising quickly and bookstores have a hard time keeping up, even those that are mainstream. London seems to be sufficiently spread out so that this isn't happening...or not at the same rate. This is purely conjecture on my part, based on mere weeks and limited walking, but I have to say the texture, the percentage of retail/residential, pleased me. And [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (15.08.2010 12:53h): Skoob bookS
It took me a shamefully long time to get the pun in the name of this bookstore even though they make it obvious in the sign. An excellent collection of books here in a space that reminds me somewhat of the basement of The Strand before it got its fancy renovation. They sell the Penguin mugs, though not all of them. Jane Austen's Persuasion seems a bit more difficult to find for example. Pride & [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (14.08.2010 13:45h): Say no to Enbridge
Oil pipelines along rivers just isn't a good idea. End of story. Enbridge has closed off Line 6B, a pipe with 190,000 barrels of capacity, since a late July rupture sent 19,500 barrels of crude leaking into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River. In so doing, it has shut off an important sales valve for Western Canadian crude and triggered an escalating set of problems. Not only has the Alberta oil patch [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (13.08.2010 14:57h): On the matter of first editions
There are bookstores that specialize in specific kinds of books: first editions, 18th Century, poetry, drama, and so on. Collinge and Clarke, this eclectic little shop on Leigh Street in Bloomsbury had some good ones. They apparently specialize in "private presses" and possessed one book I particularly love, as you can see in the second photograph... a first edition of Virginia Woolf's The Waves [Link] [Cache]
This Is Why I Hurt You (12.08.2010 22:37h): A Brief Post on Kate Greenstreet
Kate Greenstreet This Is Why I Hurt You, Lamehouse 2008 Greenstreet's little chapbook fell out from a pile of books on my desk marked "for review." It's a big pile and hers is a little book, even as chapbooks go. It's hand stitched, not overly so, and the paper is functional. A bold clear font announces the title. The book starts with a quote from Walker Evans, which makes sense since [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (09.08.2010 12:00h): A Few Things I Learned About Life as a Poet from Watching Bright Star
I approached this movie ready to be snarky and suspicious. No romantic frippery for this lady, in either senses of the word. However, with a deft cinematic hand, Jane Campion "trace[s] the comminglings and collisions of poetic creation and amatory passion" in this tale of young John Keats Ben Wishaw in love. 1. Her cinematography in Bright Star is at once gorgeous and lived in, brilliant fields [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (07.08.2010 11:45h): You can tell a bookstore by its window
London Bookstores (05.08.2010 19:20h): Persephone
London has bookstores. Loads of them. I was taken by a few in particular, and I'll post about these over the next few weeks when I have the time. The first I admit I was attracted to simply because of its cover, or front. Excellent name, font, sign, window and location: 59 Lamb's Conduit Street. I first read of the street in Woolf's Diary. She makes mention of Lytton having bought paper from [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (04.08.2010 18:14h): The Proof is in the Proof
Ok, admit it. You feel a sense of smug self-satisfaction every time you find a spelling error in a published novel, you laugh until you cry mocking newspaper headlines that say things like, “Thai Ministers Flea in Wake of Violence,” and you question the intelligence of any poet whose book has a really ridiculous spelling error in it. Now, I like ridiculing the ‘fleaing’ ministers as much as the [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (04.08.2010 17:41h): Comments are so last decade....
Silliman has turned his comment stream off and I'm with a lot of people who think it's a good idea. There are quite a few last comments that illustrate my feelings exactly. I, for one, applaud this move of YOURS. 'Twill be more like the "old days" a "dialogue" between the writer and the reader ... a revival of letter/e-mail, one-to-one writing/thinking and maybe will lead to some [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (30.07.2010 17:29h): A Gulf Notebook, Part 1
From Naples pier: what spill? The beachfront's neo-conquistador lushness is soundtracked with soft jazz. Intermittent chat swells between backfloaters. Brown pelicans hover and dive. A fisherman pulls a four-foot-long bonnet shark out of the water, cuts and cleans it right there, tucking its meat in tiny sandwich bags. Dolphins surface to the delight of post-dinner strollers. Someone on a [Link] [Cache]
How to do silence (29.07.2010 12:12h): a conversation with Vanessa Place
What is she reading? More than two minutes of silence, well, near silence, as Vanessa Place scans the page in front of her, one hand moving from page to body and back, occasionally looking up, making eye contact. I started our brief conversation about the performance she gave at the University of Greenwich earlier this month by asking what the title was--she didn't say prior. VP:"Gone with the [Link] [Cache]
LEMON HOUND (27.07.2010 12:00h): Elizabeth Hall & Christine Wertheim
Early this spring Elizabeth Hall asked California writer and editor Christine Wertheim to answer a few questions via email about herself as a poet, feminist, and editor. EH: Since this interview is really about hearing your story, can you tell us a little bit about where you grew up?

Headache vs. Animation (26.07.2010 12:00h): Some Short Shorts
Since I've had a migraine all day today, I began searching the internets for some video to offer up curatorially instead of creating my own "content." I came upon this lovely animation by Bruce Bickford, who apparently collaborated with Frank Zappa in the early '70s. As I was partially raised on Zappa, by which I mean brought to frustrated adolescence and then left there, this struck me as an [Link] [Cache]
