We talk about his ambivalence toward his role as a "professional" poet, and discuss what he's learned from his students over the years. The show begins with a reading from his long poem "Georgia," which explores his sense of cultural alienation after moving to Athens in 2005. http://media.sas.upenn.edu/jacket2/mp3/Into-the-Field/Into-the-Field_002_Andrew-Zawacki.mp3 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 20:00:00 -0400 Literature no 00:33:27 Andrew Zawacki, Jacket2, poetry http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoTheField/~3/0NI4eWaXJHo/Into-the-Field_002_Andrew-Zawacki.mp3http://media.sas.upenn.edu/jacket2/mp3/Into-the-Field/Into-the-Field_002_Andrew-Zawacki.mp3http://media.sas.upenn.edu/jacket2/mp3/Into-the-Field/Into-the-Field_002_Andrew-Zawacki.mp3 Into the Field, hosted by Steve McLaughlin In this inaugural edition of Into the Field, I talk with Benjamin Friedlander at his home in Bangor, Maine. Friedlander is a poet, critic, teacher, and member of the Flarflist Collective. He currently teaches at the University of Maine. Friedlander reads a selection of poems originally posted on the Flarflist, as well as several from his book A Knot Is Not a Tangle (Krupskaya, 2000). In our interview, he discusses his years spent living in two of the major meccas of experimental writing in recent decades: San Francisco in the 1980s, and Buffalo in the '90s. We also talk about his use of the tools of Flarf to do the work of elegy, and his interest in widely forgotten poets of the nineteenth century. http://media.sas.upenn.edu/jacket2/mp3/Into-the-Field/Into-the-Field_001_Benjamin-Friedlander.mp3 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:00:00 -0400 Literature no 00:34:03 Benjamin Friedlander, Jacket2, poetry http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoTheField/~3/Cl-i9Szss3E/Into-the-Field_001_Benjamin-Friedlander.mp3http://media.sas.upenn.edu/jacket2/mp3/Into-the-Field/Into-the-Field_001_Benjamin-Friedlander.mp3http://media.sas.upenn.edu/jacket2/mp3/Into-the-Field/Into-the-Field_001_Benjamin-Friedlander.mp3 Stephen McLaughlinnonadultA series of readings and interviews with poets, hosted by Stephen McLaughlin and brought to you by Jacket2.org.
