Sara Hailstone

photo

Sara Hailstone's writing is born from navigating the hardships and intimate connections that living in a small town projects. She is a historian and writer from Madoc, Ontario who orients towards the ferocity of nature and what we can learn as humans from the hard face of forest in our own lives. A graduate of Guelph University and Queen's University, she is a certified English and History schoolteacher who writes in between teachings and strewn-out laments. She also teaches children with Autism in the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis by facilitating intense behavioural interventions. As an advocate of self-growth, her writing is very intimate, with her prose and poetry scouring collapsed domestic landscapes: She writes past human trauma by offering glimpses of perceived normalcy in our everyday lives and how quizzical our lives ultimately are. Amongst that chaos, leafed with human pain and suffering is a resilient tone of hope and strength that can only convince us that there is beauty there, if we choose to see it. Email: Sara Hailstone

WRITER’S STATEMENT

I want to describe my writing as intense, philosophical, and hopeful. For me, poetry is a created texture, best experienced in the agrammatical mind. In my view, the impact of poetry has a lot to do with archetypes, and allowing mind-scapes to form beautifully, by force of words. Native American tradition and world-view has certainly affected my life and writing in a huge way, which often alludes to animal spirits colliding with 'humanimal' realities. I am intrigued by an aesthetic paradigm that I can only call 'field guide aesthetics' which attempts to reconcile new world nomenclature, with complex spirit worlds that span greater epochs.

Jnana Hodson

Jnana Hodson was born in Dayton, Ohio, and is a graduate of Indiana University, he continues in the tradition of spiritual renaming, which may be seen in both Biblical and Native-American examples. In his case, the name Jnana (commonly pronounced Ja-NAN-a, Sanskrit for the path of intellect or discernment) was bestowed when he dwelled in a Yoga ashram in eastern Pennsylvania. As a professional journalist, he has also resided in Upstate New York, in two additional quarters of Ohio, in desert-expanse orchards of Washington State, in the Mississippi River ribbon of eastern Iowa, in the harbor city of Baltimore, and finally in former textile-mill towns of New Hampshire. All along, his writing has grown out of spiritual exploration, often, seeking the unique cadence of each place that he has dwelled, and at other times, delving headlong into confrontations and paradoxes that entangle present-day romance, sexual attraction, and intimacy, not infrequently, as mythology has long demonstrated, landscapes and loving overlap. Experimentation - a desire to discover, by trial and error, structures and language to synthesize the details he employs - is a central concern in much of his poetry.

Bob Holman

Bob Holman, founder/proprietor of the Bowery Poetry Club and Artistic Director of Bowery Arts + Science, the nonprofit that programs the Club, is a poet most often connected with the oral tradition, live voicings of poetry, and poetry in digital media: spoken word, performance, hiphop, slam, poetry films, endangered languages. Dubbed “Ringmaster of the Spoken Word” (NY Daily News), “Poetry Czar” (Village Voice), and “Dean of the Scene” (Seventeen Magazine), he studied poetry at Columbia where he now teaches: he finds it fulfilling, becoming the guy he used to laugh at (he also teaches at NYU). But his major poetry schooling was the Lower East Side, with Allen Ginsberg, John Giorno, Anne Waldman, Miky Pinero, Hettie Jones, Ed Sanders, Amiri Baraka, Ted Berrigan, Alice Notley, Pedro Pietri, David Henderson, Steve Cannon et al. He ran readings at and was Coordinator of the St Marks Poetry Project 1977-84, was the original Slammaster at the Nuyorican Poets Café 1988-96, and has been at the BPC since 2002.

He has published sixteen books of poetry if you include CDs and DVDs, which he does, most recently A Couple of Ways of Doing Something, a collaboration with Chuck Close from Aperture, “The Awesome Whatever,” a CD about which Lou Reed said, “Nice job, Bob,” the 3-part TV series exploring Endangered language and culture in West Africa and Israel, “On the Road with Bob Holman,” and Crossing State Lines; An American Renga — a collaboration of 54 US poets, edited with Carol Muske-Dukes (Farrar Strauss). Coffee House Press will bring out a full collection of work in 2012, tentatively titled I Wrote Money But I Meant Crocodile.

Holman founded and ran the first major spoken word label, Mouth Almighty/Mercury; produced the award-winning Public Broadcasting System series, The United States of Poetry; and is currently working on two Endangered Language Projects: Lost Wor(l)ds: A Poem of Many Tongues, with each line from a different minority/endangered tongue; and “Word Up! Language Matters with Bob Holman,” a 90-minute special on Endangered Languages for PBS produced by David Grubin Productions with Holman as host. In 2010, with linguists Daniel Kaufman and Juliette Blevins, he founded the Endangered Language Alliance in New York. He has two daughters and a son and lives on the Bowery where he is a beekeeper, with three hives on the roof of the Bowery Poetry Club. Web Site

On writing: Poetry is about characteristic change that allows reader and writer a so satisfying and harmless voyeurism. Poems at least mine are not populated by actual people, so we watch a development of degeneration of a ‘person’ and must guess at the author’s and reader’s distance and attitude. Is there a sign of disapproval, definite approval, secret judgments by poet and reader showing through. A good reading of a poem reduces distance between poet and reader; bad reading tasks the reader to judge by norms we haven’t accepted before. A poem is then, the skin stretched over a body of communication; it is a living thing.

On writing: I focus on the biographical, not autobiographical, to make social narratives. I write from _inside the sinner_ to exercise empathy and sympathy, render the observed more open to discussion, more human, and perhaps more dignified - and, I write to create purpose and drama in mundane and meaningless acts. My technique is akin to sprung rhythm: I pen my ideas; revise them into traditional metric/rhyme schemes (not necessarily English); then, I revise a poem into a narrative, free verse/lyrical form. I do this to explore my subject and to distance myself from the poem because, as Plato noted, "Poetry endangers the established order of the soul"; it is what poetry must do, so poets must use care.
