Invitation

Friends of poetry!

The Fredricton Chapter of the Ibero-American Academy of Poetry invites you cordially to the launch of the bilingual collection of poetry by local Latino-Canadian author Nela Rio, exquisitely translated into French by Jill Valéry and published by Fredericton’s own Broken Jaw Press: En las noches que desvisten otras noches Durant les nuits qui déshabillent d’autres nuits. This launch will take place at the Fredericton Public Library, 12 Carleton St. in Fredericton, on Saturday, Nov. 20th, 2010 at 2 p.m. There will be a bilingual reading of a few poems from the collection. This collection contains poems dedicated to the all the women who have suffered violence and cruelty, whatever the cause. Canadian writer George Elliott Clarke has said about the collection that “Rio is a feminist successor to great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda” and Broken Pencil magazine deemed the English edition “A stark...moving work about the political torture of women.

New! antimatter, 2nd edition

Broken Jaw Press's newest release is antimatter, 2nd edition by Hugh Hazelton.

October 2010, poetry (BISAC: POE011000)
ISBN 978-1-55391-093-0 (book+CD), $20
ISBN 1-896647-97-9 (CD), $15

“[A]s I listen to his voice (recorded cleanly, with no special effects) and read his words, I’m struck once again by the extrordinary performative nature of his work ... this is a fine collection of work by a poet deserving wider exposure, and the book’s beautifully designed too!”
—Vincent Tinguely, Matrix

“Hazelton writes poems that are political and humanistic. They are perceptice, iterative and redolent ... The CD is interesting and nicely produced and all in all this is a good example of Hazelton’s contemporary work.”
—New Hope International Review Online(UK)

---

The poems in Antimatter are declamatory, politicized, experimental, occasionally concrete, recited, chanted, stuttered, and sung poetry produced by a Montreal poet-translator-visual artist who believes that poetry should bite, caress, stroke, laugh at, confront, lament, name, imagine, envision, remember, invoke, counterattack, and reflect.

The 2010 edition included a new 3-page poem, “the fascists are back”.
The CD contains a reading of all the poems in the 2003 edition of the book (67’ 10”).

A Spanish edition of this book was published in 2009 as antimateria (Ottawa: Split Quotation/La Cita Trunca).

Hugh Hazelton is a poet, translator and the publisher of White Dwarf Editions. For Broken Jaw Press, he translated Túnel de proa verde/Tunnel of the Green Prow by Nela Rio, Cuerpo amado/Beloved Body by Nela Rio, and Sunset by Pablo Urbanyi. He teaches Latin American civilization and translation at Concordia University, Montréal. He is the author of Sunwords (Red Giant Editions/ WDE) and Crossing the Chaco, a past editor of Ruptures, a guest editor of ellipse, and a contributor to the book+CD La vache enragée, No 2 (Planète Rebelle).

Hazelton has been doing readings in English, French, Spanish and Portugese in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Sudbury, Fredericton, the USA, Brazil, Argentina, and elsewhere, for many years.

Karl Wendt, R.I.P.

Karl Wendt of Halifax, Nova Scotia, author of the first full-length book, Chaste Wood published by Broken Jaw Press in 1989, died unexpectedly on 22 August 2010. Karl had been born in East Prussia in 1944, during WWII, and came to Canada with his family in 1951. Karl was an active member of the BS Poetry Socity and the Halifax arts and literary community. For many years he ran his home as an incredible bohemian rooming house filled with tomato plants, books, music, a steady supply of coffee, and conversation to keep you going for hours and hours.





















A special tribute for Karl was held on 11 September 2010 at The Old Triangle with family and friends sharing memories, his poetry, and the work of friends. I wish I could have been there but I only found out about it the evening before the gathering. I sent words, best wishes, and a poem of mine from Cover Makes a Set that Dina Desveaux asked to read.

re:myth book and exhibition

re:myth, Stories and Poems by the BlackTop MotorCycle Gang
Joe Blades & Biff Mitchell, editors

2 Sept 2010, 5.5” x 7”, 55 pp
Short fiction & poetry
ISBN 978-1-55391-094-7 (print), $15

The writings in re:myth are the BlackTop MotorCycle Gang’s poetic hogrider musings for a collaborative art making and exhibition project with Fredericton, NB’s Emerge Artist Collective. The tarmac bums volunteered to write and hand over their speculative–creative writings on mythologies of/in the 21st century to anonymously inspire an artwork by a member of Emerge.

The BlackTop MotorCycle Gang is a Fredericton, NB-based collective of eclectic writers spread from coast to coast in Canada who stage spontaneous “reading raids” in various unannounced locations but whom are also frequently invited to appear at special events (usually) of a literary nature. Having successfully raided an issue of Nonymous magazine, this is the notorious BlackToppers’ first book.

The re:myth exhibition by the BlackTop MotorCycle Gang and the Emerge Artist Collective, for which these pieces were written, opened 2 September 2010 in the 1922 Gallery of Gallery ConneXion, 440 York Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick, www.galleryconnexion.ca

AMANDA CASTRO (1962-2010)

Poet, translator, and educator Ananda Cartro had worked closely with Broken Jaw Press author Nela Rio who considered her not just a colleague but a good friend. With much sadness, because Amanda died on 18 March, we post the following note by Nela Rio.

_________________

AMANDA CASTRO

(1962-2010)

Estimadas amigas y estimados amigos.

Amanda Castro ha muerto en su Tegucigalpa, Honduras, el 18 de marzo, 2010.

Gran amiga, poeta, ser de tiempo mítico, real, comprometido. Inolvidable su recorrido en el mágico Onironautas. No sé bien cómo se las arreglaba, pero la poesía de Alejandra Pizarnik siempre compartía nuestras conversaciones. Me la imagino sonriendo, dejando su tanque de oxígeno que la acompañó por muchísimos años, allí, quietecito, quizás en ese cuarto de ventanales por el que mirábamos Tegucigalpa y ahora, lenta y transparente, Amanda camina despacio hasta su barca. Amiga inolvidable, estará siempre en su poesía y en nuestra memoria. Ella les diría, simplemente, / cuando apenas y se distingan mis cenizas entre las aguas o el viento de un templo en Copán/ que no llore nadie/ que quemen incienzo alzando las copas/ que me voy contenta para Xibalbá/ que no llore nadie.


                                          13
                                          explicar con palabras de este mundo
                                          que partió de mí un barco llevándome

                                          Alejandra Pizarnik, Árbol de Diana


NO LLOREN POR MÍ
Amanda Castro

Cuando el velero blanca de mi calmada paz y la melancolía se aleje del puerto con camino infinito y sin retorno/ no lloren por mí/ que la muerte me ha dado el descanso y con sus tiernos brazos me muestra el camino de la luz hacia la aura/ que la muerte me lleva consigo a conocer los secretos fantasmas de sueños insomnes que tanto dolor provocaron en vida/ que no llore mi madre/ porque con nuestros muertos estoy de regreso desnuda y contenta de la mano del hombre que decidió ser mi padre y su amor/ que los abuelos me aguardan para contarme los cuentos de antaño que no pude escribir/ que no llore mi hermano/ porque él me vio en la montaña perderme en la lluvia buscando un camino que llevaba al mar/ que recuerde mi risa confundida/ entre los granitos de arena que cantaban los niños/ de nuestro viaje río arriba descubriendo el amor/ que no lloren mis niñas/ tres hebras de la misma madeja que hilvanan el cielo y el mar/ el viejito lleno de amor que no llore nunca/ porque voy contenta/ que no llore mi amante compañera tierna/ mi bastón/ mi mano mi pluma cuando no he podido escribir/ mi amor cuando no he podido amar/ mi vida cuando no he podido vivir/ que no lloren mis amigos/ porque ellos ya conocen de mis amores con la muerte y no les sorprende el dolor/ que recuerden mis versos y que beban lo que no pude/ cuando apenas y se distingan mis cenizas entre las aguas o el viento de un templo en Copán/ que no llore nadie/ que quemen incienzo alzando las copas/ que me voy contenta para Xibalbá/ que no llore nadie.

Ofrecemos nuestro cariño y respeto a su familia, a sus amigas y compañeras de lucha, a la comunidad poética de Honduras, a todos los que la conocimos.

Fue un privilegio tenerla con nosotros desde la inauguración del Registro Creativo de la Asociación Canadiense de Hispanistas y también lo es su permanencia en la Página.

New Editorial Board Member

Brokwn Jaw Press Inc. is very pleased to announce its newest Editorial Board member:

Carson Butts

Carson Butts lives and works in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He has an MA in Creative Writing from UNB; the long poem of which remains in hiding. He has served the lit. scene as a Managing Editor of Qwerty Magazine and as a member of the Editorial Board of The Fiddlehead. He is a current member of The Vagabond Trust writers group and, with the group, talks shop while enjoying the fine local brews of Picaroons. The Grad House is his favourite spot; barren landscapes, his favourite escape fantasies. The ceiling in Carson’s apartment leaks; he and his landlord brother are completely befuddled.
