JEFFERY BEAM
from an invocation




From cedar's green feathers---------------cedar's red odor

From moss' cool fever----------------------earthworm's glowing

From pitch-pine's field-taking--------- ---pitch-pine's black tarring

From the heel-worn path------------------eye-light roaming

~

From cornfield's stalking-------------------bobwhite ascending

From the cardinal's scarlet-----------------a royalty before us

From persimmon & apple------------------urgent oriole feeding

From blue-eyed grass in shadow-----------late summer's Eden




~




From footstep to cow path----------------mud pool & duck quack

From goldenrod's augur-------------------winter gathers

From ice cracking oak limb----------------frisson & weeping

From beech leaf in winter------------------gold filigree forming

From the extremely exquisite and limited edition —

Country Valley Press

These small Japanese bound booklets are taking off nicely in design and in almost homage to the earlier editions issued from Cid Corman's Origin and James L. Weil's Elizabeth Press.
Very good company to keep.

GERRY LOOSE

from the deer path to my door



here doing what I do best

weeding reading drinking




~




tax bills deadlines work undone

I plan a seat round the sycamore



~



time spent with black parrot queen of the night tulip

bulbs why not working sitting



~



early bus to town for teachings better
follow the drumming woodpecker into the woods

Senses delight —

LORINE NIEDECKER
CATHY COOK, filmmaker





I first watched snippets or the fledgling sweet edges of this film at the Lorine Niedecker Festival held in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 2003. Many of us were gladly squeezed into a darkened room in a Fort Atkinson library to catch this, and Cid Corman was with us — one who knew LN one of the best. I knew in the first seconds we were with a filmmaker who had the touch for Niedecker's poetry, person and habitat. Now with the whole film completed and available on DVD, the mystique of Cathy Cook's Niedecker is all of ours.

This one may be purchased from Longhouse.
