core-specific combinatorial modeling #0001 excerpt

August
I really like this one. It has the same sense of
economy and rhythm that your 'nominal quiescent
current' pieces had and where I find some of your work
simply overwhelming, this draws me into its world.
What fascinates me about this type of work is not only
its forbears in terms of the automatic writing of the
surrealists and the Gysin/Burroughs cut up technique
( and I know that you might want to place less
emphasis on this than I would) but some of the
linguistic resonances -English is already an isolating
language but this piece makes it more so -the micro
grammar of the piece is perhaps more akin to Chinese
than anything else and there are also echoes of
various kinds of pidgin English there.
I know that what you do is very carefully thought out.
Do these kinds of considerations about the structure
of language itself come consciously into play for you?
Another unrelated point: would you recognise the work
of someone like Stein as in anyway akin to yours? I'm
currently embarking on "The Making of Americans" (
with a certain amount of trepidation to be sure).
The other contemporary figure who springs to mind for
me is Ben Marcus, whose work I love - do you know it?
Questions, questions!

ah, the making of americans…you *should* be afraid!

i love the book myself, cherish it…one can see stein becoming the poet she was later to become in it–i had a similar moment in my own eveolution—in my mid twenties i was writing a very absurdist/surrealist novel, but found my sentences getting longer and longer, found myself getting more interested in the language than the representation—and at that point i gave up on fiction—

yes, i too love augie's work here—nice….

ben marcus is also apparently based in akron ohio…quite near my own hometown…

what the hell is it about ohio that breeds weirdos like us?

t.whid is also from the town right next to my hometown—

something in the rusty sky there….
