Fascicle Three
Website: http://fascicle.com/
Email Address: tonytosts@fascicle.com
Editor/Consultant: Tony Tost
Country: Asia
Type: Online journal
Description: From this issue forward, Fascicle will be published at a (loosely) annual pace, with a continued emphasis on a global and historical view of innovative poetry & poetics: a US-centric conception of poetry has become, for many of us, increasingly ridiculous. Even a conception of "American poetry" (whatever that may mean) is instantly made more complex and rich by a consideration not only of Pound's & Stein's (as the two central figures in my view of American Modernist poetry) respective exiles on their own poetics, but how their self-conceptions as "citizens of the world" transformed the very basic assumptions of what it means to be an innovative American poet. Moving forward in time, many of the most important & beautiful American achievements of the last 50 odd years -- from Spicer's channeling of Lorca to Eshleman's realization of Vallejo & Cesaire (among others) to Olson's explorations of the Mayan to Rosmarie Waldrop's rendering of Jabes to Rothenberg's absolutely essential anthology projects -- have likewise completely re-conceptualized and re-considered the most basic notions of national and innovative traditions.
