One 000 Begins with discussion of “polis”
070 What does “polis” mean?
100 Duncan – the ‘eye’ and ‘polis’ – ‘seen’ and ‘scene’
133 Discussion re Zukofsky on the I and the Eye
155 ‘istorin-finding out for oneself – you have to see it and engage in it, not merely interpret or analyse it
165 Olson on Herodotus, Pausanius and Thucydides – Herodotus is relevant because he recorded all that he saw and heard. – Thucydides is not relevant because he placed an evaluation upon events thereby characterizing events before they occur.
180 Ginsberg- reporters in Vietnam discover the unreliability of secondary sources
210 Creeley – at some time you must trust yourself to an agency you don’t understand
230 Ginsberg – importance of direct contact is located in feelings – one has to deal with feelings – responding to question about his interview with Esquire magazine – “Pull my daisy/Tip my cup/All my doors are open.”
300 Duncan – There are no hierarchies in “polis” though there may be personal forces – “polis” disappears with the advent of societies which consist of hierarchies and patterns; it’s the disappearance of people with eyes
447 Ginsberg – the frustration of form anticipating occasion. This is Creeley.
500 Creeley feeling “bankrupt”
560 Preconception of form-sonnets
620 Creeley – you can respond to any form if you’re engaged in it – must have an occasion of feeling
640 Ginsberg – “Bankrupt” – wishing to be free of all expectations
710 Creeley – “Bankruptcy” – state of being or feeling where you see no possibility of where to go – must open doors to restore seeing if will is arbiter of possibility then that possibility is destroyed
925 Creeley – the more one learns about the craft of writing, the more one wants to take over. I hate that; I don’t want the aggression of writing the world in that way, the vanity of it
990 Duncan answering audience question re his use of contrivances to get over a stoppage – “Why is it that we close ourselves off to resources? Calling upon powers, stars, muses?”
