A Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs

By: Ammiel Alcalay

A Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs presents the original bibliography, as completed in 1992, without changes, as a glimpse into the historical record of a unique scholarly, political, poetic, and cultural journey. The bibliography itself had roots in research begun in the late 1970s and demonstrates a very wide arc. In addition to the bibliography, we include three accompanying texts here. In "Behind the Scenes: Before After Jews and Arabs," Alcalay takes us behind the closed doors of the academic process, reprinting the original reader reports and his detailed rebuttals, and in "A Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs: A Brief Introduction," Alcalay contextualizes his own path to the work he undertook, in methodological, historical, and political terms. Also included is "A Poetics of Bibliography""--Publisher's description

A Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs

By: Ammiel Alcalay

Ammiel Alcalay's groundbreaking work, After Jews and Arabs, published in 1993, redrew the geographic, political, cultural, and emotional map of relations between Jews and Arabs in the Levantine/Mediterranean world over a thousand-year period. Based on over a decade of research and fieldwork in many disciplines-including history and historiography; anthropology, ethnography, and ethnomusicology; political economy and geography; linguistics; philosophy; and the history of science and technology-the book presented a radically different perspective than that presented by received opinion.Given the radical and iconoclastic nature of Alcalay's perspective, After Jews and Arabs met great resistance in attempts to publish it. Though completed and already circulating in 1989, it didn't appear until 1993. In addition, when the book was published, there wasn't enough space to include its original bibliography, a foundational part of the project.A Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs presents the original bibliography, as completed in 1992, without changes, as a glimpse into the historical record of a unique scholarly, political, poetic, and cultural journey. The bibliography itself had roots in research begun in the late 1970s and demonstrates a very wide arc.In addition to the bibliography, we include two accompanying texts here. In "Behind the Scenes: Before After Jews and Arabs," Alcalay takes us behind the closed doors of the academic process, reprinting the original readers reports and his detailed rebuttals, and in "On a Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs," Alcalay contextualizes his own path to the work he undertook, in methodological, historical, and political terms.Poet, novelist, translator, critic, and scholar Ammiel Alcalay teaches at Queens College and The Graduate Center, CUNY. His books include After Jews and Arabs, Keys to the Garden, Memories of Our Future, Islanders, and neither wit nor gold: from then. A 10th-anniversary edition of from the warring factions, a book-length poem dedicated to Srebrenica, and a book of essays, a little history, came out in 2013. a little history also came out in a Portuguese translation with Editor Lumme, São Paolo in 2019. During the wars in ex-Yugoslavia, he was the primary translator of texts from Bosnia, and translations include Sarajevo Blues and Nine Alexandrias by poet Semezdin Mehmedinovic, as well as works by journalist Zlatko Dizdarevic, and many others. Alcalay is the General Editor of Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative, a series of student and guest-edited archival texts emerging from New American Poetry, and he was the recipient of a 2017 Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award for this work.

Lost and Found

Series 8

By: Julio Cortázar,Muriel Rukeyser,Diane Di Prima,Ammiel Alcalay,Pedro Pietri

Poetry. Translation. Poetry History & Criticism. Poetics. Featuring Julio Cortázar, Olivia Loksing Moy, Marco Ramírez Rojas, Diane di Prima, Iris Cushing, Muriel Rukeyser, Chris Clarke, Mary Norbert Korte, Mary Catherine Kinniburgh, Pedro Pietri, Cristina Pérez Díaz. Grounded in an exploration of relationships between writers and their guides past or present, as well as particular times and places, LOST & FOUND SERIES VIII unfolds an astounding array of unknown materials that reconfigure our present cultural and social map. From Argentinian exile Julio Cort-zar's erudite and intimate companionship with John Keats, as portrayed in never before translated excerpts from his little known first book, to Diane di Prima's methodical thinking through the ritual of a poetics based on Shelley's Prometheus Unbound--in the form of her raw notes to a series of lectures--we glimpse the depth and stakes of transmission across time. In Mary Norbert Korte's 1967 Response to Michael McClure's Ghost Tantras, we see the human gesture of one poet reaching out to another at a time of radical political and personal transition, as Korte is considering leaving the Dominican Sisterhood she had been a member of in order to lead a different life. The discovery of Muriel Rukeyser's student translation of Arthur Rimbaud's A Season in Hell, undertaken in the early 1930s while Rukeyser was active over the Scottsboro Trial, amply displays the roots of her poetics and the basis of her lifelong commitment to translation. Not tied to an individual relationship but to a whole community, selections from Pedro Pietri's poetry and activist art during the AIDS crisis, Condom Poems 4 Sale One Size Fits All--with an envelope of reproduced visual artifacts--demonstrates Pietri's commitment to working outside mainstream forms to incite the people's imagination. SERIES VIII includes: Julio Cortázar: Julio y John, caminando y conversando: Selections from Imagen de John Keats (edited and translated by Olivia Loksing Moy & Marco Ramírez Rojas) Diane di Prima: Prometheus Unbound as a Magickal Working (ed. Iris Cushing) the difficulties involved: Muriel Rukeyser's Selections from A Season in Hell by Arthur Rimbaud (ed. Chris Clarke) a strange gift: Mary Norbert Korte's Response to Michael McClure's Ghost Tantras (ed. Mary Catherine Kinniburgh) Pedro Pietri: Condom Poems 4 Sale One Size Fits All (ed. Rojo Robles; Afterword by Cristina Pérez Díaz)

Spring and Autumn Annals

A Celebration of the Seasons for Freddie

By: Diane di Prima

The book is a treasure. … Diane di Prima is one of the greatest writers of her generation, and this book offers a window into its lives."—Chris Kraus "Diane Di Prima's Spring and Autumn Annals arrives as a long-lost charm of illuminated meditations to love, life, death, eros and selflessness. An essential 1960s text of visionary rapaciousness.”—Thurston Moore "[Freddie Herko] wished for a third love before he died; and what a love is in this book's beholding, saying, and release. Di Prima's dancing narrative, propelled and circling at the speed of thought, picking up every name and detailed perception as a rolling tide, fills me with gratitude for the truth of her eye. Nothing gets past it, not even the 'ballet slippers letting in the snow.'"—Ana Božičević "A masterpiece of literary reflection, as quest to archive her dancer friend's life, to make art at all costs and the price dearly paid. … di Prima’s poetic memoir of the artist journey is a triumph. A must read and reread for years to come."—Karen Finley "A Beat poet's journal following the suicide of her closest friend encompasses many seasons and cycles of life and death. … With evocative detail and introspective insight, she writes of that loss and the feeling of being turned loose, occasionally unmoored, struggling to create art through years of living in barely habitable apartments. … A useful document for scholars of the Beat generation."—Kirkus Reviews In the autumn of 1964, Diane di Prima was a young poet living in New York when her dearest friend, dancer, choreographer, and Warhol Factory member, Freddie Herko, leapt from the window of a Greenwich Village apartment to a sudden, dramatic, and tragic death at the age of 29. In her shock and grief, di Prima began a daily practice of writing to Freddie. For a year, she would go to her study each day, light a stick of incense, and type furiously until it burned itself out. Later, di Prima would take up this stream-of-consciousness manuscript and make it into something for others to read. The result is an eloquent ode to her friend; to the constellation of writers, artists, and revolutionaries who made up their community; and to the chaos and struggle of lives lived fully in the pursuit of personal and artistic goals while the world around them hurtles toward changes that will soon upend everything. The narrative ranges over the decade from 1954—the year di Prima and Herko first met—to 1965, with occasional forays into di Prima's memories of growing up in Brooklyn. Lyrical, elegant, and nakedly honest, Spring and Autumn Annals is a moving tribute to a friendship, and to the extraordinary innovation and accomplishments of the period. Masterfully observed and passionately recorded, it offers a uniquely American portrait of the artist as a young woman in the heyday of bohemian New York City.
