Argumentaire :

To edit a poetic volume and entitle it "The Stars In Mindless Space" so lends itself to being translated into an offering of guide-lines and lessons from the past, to be handed on the generations to come, too.
As we move further into the new century and millennium, our work as poets has been compounded by the circumstances of the time in which we've all been working: events that have both reinforced that work—as poetry and prophecy—and an upsurge of forces that have come to stand against it.It is in this sense that we are proposing here an omnipoetics of the American hemisphere, as an experimental instance of what might be attempted further on a worldwide scale, toward what one of us once described as "an anthology of everything."

Biographie ou Bibliographie de l'auteur :

Jerome Rothenberg (1931-2024) is an internationally known poet with over ninety books of poetry (Poland/1931, That Dada Strain, The Lorca Variaitons, Khurbn, and others) and nine assemblages of traditional and avant-garde poetry such as Technicians of the Sacred, Shaking the Pumpkin, Revolution of the Word, and Poems for the Millennium, (volumes 1 and 2, with Pierre Joris, volume 3 with Jeffrey Robinson, volume 5 with John Bloomberg-Rissman). Starting in the late 1950s, he was involved with various aspects of poetry performance, including a theatrical version of his book, Poland/1931, by Hanon Reznikov
and the Living Theater, and a musical version of Khurbn (with composer Charlie Morrow and Japanese novelist Makoto Oda)
produced for the Bread & Puppet Theater in 1995.
He was professor emeritus of visual arts and literature at the University of California, San Diego.
