In this note I will give details about the next session and then pass o information about two events.</div><div><br></div><div>On April 24th, we will be joined by Professor Steve Evans of UMaine, Orono. Evans will be talking about "The Poetics of Phonotextuality"--or the sound(s) of sounding poetry. Evans will offer "a systematic introduction to an exciting new development in the field of poetics (and literary studies more generally), the emergence of 'phonotextual' studies concerned with the analysis and interpretation of poems not just as printed texts but as voiced structures whose meaning can be 'sounded' as well as seen."</div><div><br></div><div>Evans is at the forefront of this field as the links below will attest. This a session not to be missed</div><div><br></div><div>Evans has sent a list of audio links that will set up this conversation. It is very important that people listen to the first one as that will take the place of any formal talk or paper. It only takes about 50 minutes to listen to. That way, when he joins us, everyone will have a sense of the topic.</div><div><br></div><div>A bio of Evans is here: <a href="http://www.thirdfactory.net/evans.html">http://www.thirdfactory.net/evans.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Discussion with Al Filreis (approx. 50 minutes)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://www.writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Evans.php">http://www.writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Evans.php</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Lipstick of Noise - linking & listening to poetry audio files</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://www.thirdfactory.net/lipstick.html">http://www.thirdfactory.net/lipstick.html</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Writers House Podcast (approx. 18 minutes)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/podcasts/PennSound-Podcast_05_Evans.mp3">http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/podcasts/PennSound-Podcast_05_Evans.mp3</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Robert Kelly on Paul Blackburn's tape recording</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/authors/Kelly/Kelly-Robert_Remembering-Blackburn_The-Lipstick-of-Noise_4-07.mp3">http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/authors/Kelly/Kelly-Robert_Remembering-Blackburn_The-Lipstick-of-Noise_4-07.mp3</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">The Poetics of Phonotextuality (graduate level seminar, spring 2009)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://phonotextuality.wordpress.com">http://phonotextuality.wordpress.com</a>/</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Poetry in the Age of the MP3 (graduate level seminar, August 2007)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://eng529listen.wordpress.com">http://eng529listen.wordpress.com</a>/</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Poetry in the Age of the MP3 (undergraduate seminar, fall 2008)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://eng429listen.wordpress.com">http://eng429listen.wordpress.com</a>/</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This meeting will be 3-5 on Friday the 24th.
