[Brenda Ijima set me up with this gig... I'll probably read from a new sequence called "Pasha Noise," which if you've heard it before is quite different now, and maybe discuss Pound's Mauberley, since my poem's quasi-based on that one.]

Brian Kim Stefans is the author of Fashionable Noise: On Digital Poetics (Atelos, 2003)
Portable Press at Yo-Yo Labs published his lastest collection of poems JAI-LAI FOR AUTOCRATS on the ocassion of Stefans' talk/reading at Casper Jones. Stefans writes numerous reviews, many of which can be found on his blog: Free Space Comix (www.arras.net/weblog). He lives in Brooklyn.
Sue Landers is the author of 248 mgs., a panic picnic (O Books, 2003)
This book explores the emotional and socio-political lives of a cast of characters based on autobiography, but devised by sound. Some characters are the same character under different names. The book's claustrophobic tercets combined with spiraling repetition help foreground the importance of artifice and code, the very elements the book's characters undermine, complicate, and expose. The code is a score. To sound out the story.
"This is a daring and contemporary voice that speaks of pills, guns, and of shame. The story is captivating, the echoes of recurring themes and stanzas are haunting: this book is a blast"--Anne Tardos.
She is also is co-editor of the magazine Pom2. She lives in Brooklyn.
