Do you have any recs for more obsucre experimental poetry?

Not particularly obscure, no, but some who experiment with what writing can do and that I love: obviously Anne Carson (particularly Fragments of Stesichoros, Variations on Ibykos, Decreation), Alice Oswald (particularly Memorial and Nobody), Hanif Abdurraqib (his work on voice and pacing is phenomenal; everything is worth a look, but A Little Devil in America is a good first pick), Frank Bidart (more so his early work, like The Book of the Body), Natalie Diaz (less about format and more about thematics: the way she uses eroticism as political is just--mwah; see Post-Colonial Love Poem), Rainer Maria Rilke (the most abstract of his writings are also most extraordinary--see Sonnets to Orpheus; in English, Crucefix is lovely and unique in his takes on the text); Emily Berry and Rebecca Lindenberg have the same sort of cheeky experimenting with format and lacunae that I enjoy, though not everything is strong--see especially Letter to Husband by Emily Berry and Love, a Footnote, by Rebecca Lindenberg; Gertrude Stein (Tender Buttons obviously); OBVIOUSLY too E. E. Cummings, everything he's ever written, because he's a fucking GENIUS. Okay. And not technically advertised as poetry, but two things: John Cage's letters to Merce Cunningham (his attempts at translating music-feeling into written meditations are so thought-provoking), and fiction-camouflaged poetry--Faulkner and his experimentations with point of view. I learned a lot about what writing could do in The Sound and the Fury. Finally, experiments in translation are an amazing way to rubik's cube a text and put its intersubjectivity at the forefront: see Andal's sacred poetry doubly-translated by Ravi Shankar and Priya Sarukkai Chabria in Autobiography of a Goddess, Anne Carson's own works which I've already cited (her work in liberal translation is usually better than the solely authorial stuff, though usually translational and authorial are irretrievably linked in her writing anyway--a good example is her Bakkhai); feminist, anti-racist or anachronical works of translation, which challenge the idea of "faithfulness" and lampshade translator's subjectivity (no, not Ezra Pound: leave Ezra Pound on his shelf, we're good); if you have French, Olivier Py's translations of Shakespeare for the stage--much more exciting and baroque (and queer) than what Bonnefoy did, even if Bonnefoy's own poetry is quite striking. He's timid with Shakespeare, and that's a disservice. Oh, poetry-as-theatre and definitely experimental: Sarah Kane, too, though she's hard to go through. She explodes writing and expression though, and it's extraordinary.

That's all that comes to mind for now; I hope something in there strikes your fancy!

one of my quotes of all time is "j'affecte ma douleur" by olivier py ("i'm in love with my pain" as i understand it). so is it why i hurt everytime i love as well?

XENOBLADE 3 SPOILER!!!!

I've been thinking about it since I first played Xenoblade 3 when it came out. But do you ever think about the way it actually hinted from the beginning that they have been repeating their lives over and over again. The ennemis in this game are called "Moebius" and in their eyes can see the "Moebius circle ♾️". In literature you can encounter it.

I read a theater piece with this process in it once. It was about a theater troupe repeating for a theater piece and having an argument because 'it is always the same person that has the more text', 'the best part and characters' ect. They have a pretty big argument and dispatch away, then happen the end of the piece, the stage director comes with a new piece and call all his actors back, give them the piece and their new role, and then with only that you can figure out that the same thing that happened at the beginning of the piece going to happen again and again. You can repeat this piece over pand over. That's what we call the Moebius circle

Okay now back to Xenoblade 3. Now think about the fact they are called Moebius and that the character's life is an endless loop that repeats itself. Everything makes sense.

(The theater piece is called 'illusions comiques' by Olivier Py.)

Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire un homme parfait ? Cela veut dire un homme qui n'a plus de souci que d'exister et qui est si vide, si pur, si transparent, que toute chose - les êtres et les objets, amis aussi les rêves - vienne s'abreuver en lui.

LICEU 202272023: MANON (SIERRA-FABIANO-DUHAMEL-NAOURI;MINKOVSKI-PY)

Nadine Sierra i MIchael Fabiano a Manon. Gran Teatre del Liceu. Fotografia de David Ruano gentilesa del departament de premsa del GTL Hauré de confessar, perquè crec que té la seva importància en la valoració de la primera funció de les 11 programades aquesta temporada de la popular òpera de Jules Massenet, Manon, que el seu autor no és el que més estimo dels operistes francesos, ni aquest títol…

“Je trouve d’abord qu’il ressemble physiquement à Molière. Sur des tableaux de Nicolas Mignard c’est troublant. Le seul défaut de Laurent –et je le lui avais dit – c’est qu’il est un peu trop sexy pour le rôle ! En revanche, sur ces mêmes portraits, on décèle ce que l’on pourrait appeler une humanité chez Molière. Et Laurent a cela. Même quand le personnage est odieux. Il en fait un être humain qui aime, qui souffre, qui pense avoir échoué…”.

[monotonous-minutia]

similarities between Olivier Py’s Hoffmann to his Huguenots not 20 minutes in to the latter production:

enormous stairs pantomimes featuring shirtless people strange (though not ineffective) backlighting heavy utilization of upper levels to separate characters for unclear reasons Bacchus dancing with one of the principal characters
