One One 000 Stan Persky : Writing and Politics
Persky provides autobiographical sketch-gay consciousness- upon first reading Ginsberg and Kerouac-meeting San Francisco poets Robert Duncan, Robin Blaser, George Stanley, Jack Spicer, Ron Loewinsohn-beginning of politicization through Ginsberg’s anti-war protests- increasing politicization within Canadian context i.e. student politics, gay liberation politics and socialist politics
250 Persky reads Nanaimo I
Discussion re relevance of Nanaimo I to present conditions – re Alcan workers strike in Kitimat B.C. – re political awareness and revolution
430 Persky reads Topic Sentence from a period referred to as Journal Writings
Discussion re the teaching of composition in the public school system : “The form and the behaviour that we were to display and be obedient to in a paragraph that we were being taught to write was exactly correspondent in not a conscious conspiratorial way but in a structural sense to the sort of obedient behaviour that we should display with respect to our appropriate stations in bourgeois society. That is, we were to be well-behaved… “-topic sentence is a hoax, an invention… composing is the act of following out one perception after another- dialectical movement of thought (interviewer) – using Olson’s projective verse as his methodology- Nanaimo I as projective verse
864 Persky reads Phuoc Binh Statement – this poem was written after the realization concerning the lack of political awareness on the part of poets in the Canadian context – it is a statement of the relation between poetry and politics. Discussion of the poem and ‘relevance’
1020 Persky’s question – Why are people so apolitical in this society or know so little about history as it relates to what human beings are trying to do?
