Poetry Will Be Made By All

The UCLA graduates have manuscripts in the free-for-download international poetry publication project Poetry Will Be Made By All. They are Laura V. Rivera (Apartment Complex), AJ Urquidi (The Patterned Fragment), Jake Eisenmann (Unforgeable Poems) and Stefan Karlsson (No Nothing).

“Poetry will be made by all! is an evolving exhibition that will publish and disperse one thousand new books of expanded writing and poetry over two months by authors from over fifty countries and spanning six continents. Poets-in-residence will work with visitors and a global network of writers from within an installation by Atelier Bow Wow. As part of the ongoing research project 89plus, this exhibition investigates the significance of poetry and poetic practices for the generation born in or after 1989.”

theNewerYork!

I’ve been curious about this new press that opened shop in Santa Monica a few years ago but hadn’t had the chance to check out the journal, or meet the editors, until I bumped into them at AWP in Seattle earlier this month. I’m going to try to drag them out to the Poetic Research Bureau soon, but in the meantime, here’s the website of L.A.’s latest avant-garde pranksters, theNewerYork Press.

The L.A. Telephone Book, Vol. 2

The L.A. Telephone Book Vol. 2 2012-13 is a collection of new work by contemporary Southern California writers and text-artists available for free download.

Volume 1 (2011-12) is also available for free download.

Including new work by:

Will Alexander
Diana Arterian
Thérèse Bachand
Molly Bendall

Janice Lee
Deborah Meadows
Béatrice Mousli

The volume is free for download from Mediafire (see links below).

The collection was created based on a semi-open call to writers and artists for up to 7 pages of work, set in 6 x 9 in .pdf format, which were then assembled into the present file. All choices were made by the artists and presented as they created it. Several artists contributed notes and statements about their work.
