[1] Sal Salisin runs Real Poetik, one of the most active Poetry magazine / mailing lists. For more info: owner-realpoetik@scn.org or http://www.scn.org/arts/realpoetik/ Recently published a collection of poems called "Optima Suavidad."
[2] "Tick" on Noise Museum is the excellent kinetic spoken word CD from Black Sifichi and Negative Stencil. It features a great perverse letter to Jesse Helms, an updated version of "The Revolution Will (Not) Be Televised", A great analysis of the Beats, a very scurrilous take on the Marlboro Man, a deconstruction of macho called "Tuff" and some great noisy< accompanying sounds. This is highly recommended. www.zone51.com/noisemuseum
[3] "Hashisheen: The End of Law" is an informative cd produced by Bill Laswell / PL Wilson / Janet Rienstra on Sub Rosa. It tells the story of the mysterious Persian sect of assassins founded in 1090 AD. This cut tells us a little of who he may have been as described by Burroughs and read by Iggy Pop. "For the Western middle classes danger is a rarity and erupts only with a sudden random shock." Hasan-i Sabbah, the sect's founder, built an elaborate network of terror and held court in an ambience of terror and designed exquisite garden of delights as a reward for his hitmen's loyalty to the cause. The myth of the sect is told mostly through fragments of texts written by the sect's members. Ambitious with mixed results, and yet, definitely worth some attention. www.subrosa.net
[4] "In With The Out Crowd" on Mouth Almighty / Mercury is Bob Holman'sfirst full-0length CD and is more soulful, rich, humorous and intellegently evocative than one would assume from a performance poet and purveyor of Poetry Slams. I guess I was expecting a lot of schtik and me-ism hamming. His voice is as smooth as Ken Nordine's and I feel he may be indebted to Kenneth Patchen. Produced by Hal Willner for a deep, rich sound that allows the words to come around you for the strangle hold. With musicians legendary Wayne Kramer, Chris Spedding, Bob Neuwirth adding integral sounds that don't sound added on. Very nice. More info www.mouthalmighty.com
[5] "Vex" by Christof Mignone on on Avatar/OHM is a dense and mysterious tracking and tracing of the ephemeral cultural DNA left behind by Deleuze, Satie, and Artaud in collaboration with Gregory Whitehead, MichelF. Cote, and Louis Ouellet. Impressions lead in and out and away from meaning. Defiantly impressionistic and dense.
[6] "Holy Kid" by Edwin Torres on Kill Rock Stars www.killrockstars.com is the blood transfusion of e.e. cummings and Dr. Seuss into the lanky pippish Torres. The scat and seeming nonsense walk a slack wire and soon begin to accumulate force and meaning. Sound poetry with appropriate accompaniment of homemade sounds. Bernard Heideseck for the end of the century.
[7] "Luna Park 010" is an incredible collection of word mangling heavyweights. Highly recommended. With Apollinaire, Mayakovski, Joyce, Artaud, Tzara, Duchamp, e.e. cummings, gysin and others. words have never seemed so alien and other and have never served so little purpose while seeming to mean so much without knowing quite why. www.subrosa.net
[8] Back when Estep was still good and unsigned to a label and doing her stuff with a much cooler hiphop sound.
[9] "Of Course" by Harold Norse on Ins & Outs Press 1985 Amsterdam. Very good stuff. This particular poem relates in some of the own word of the fascists bragging about how they killed Gabriel Garcia-Lorca. Part of the empire that was Eddie Woods. The late Jack Micheline's tape "Sinterklaas Eve in Amsterdam" is an excellent sample of this under-appreciated peripheral poet to the beats.
[10] Excerpt from short story of same name taken from "Wiggling Wishbone: Stories of Pata-Sexual Speculation" and produced for the video The TAZ Project by Critical Arts Ensemble
