Works done in the past are based on the assumption that sky, ocean and earth were eternal presences, and therefore our own impermanence was based on this foundation that something would continue\n\t\t309\tRimbaud never saw the ocean when he wrote “The Drunken Boat”.  Eshleman discusses Rimbaud’s poetry pre-Verlaine at 17 years old\n\t\t320\tPoem is in quatrains in French and they rhyme.  Eshleman has rhymed about a third of them.  Discusses translations of “The Drunken Boat”\n\t\t330\tThe most embarrassing translation was done by Robert Lowell who dropped out ten of the twenty-five stanzas\n\t\t354\tEshleman responds to inaudible question about the loss of eternity being equated with the loss of God.  The ontological significance of pollution.  He suggests that in psyche, the polluted world means – that all our lives, theories, etc. are based upon is now transient \n\t\t399\tEshleman asks, what happens to the elegy?  The elegy in poetry almost always has to do with accommodating a death in a larger frame\n\t\t413\tAudience member questions Eshleman’s idea of the loss of a larger framework.  We grew up with the loss of God, the loss of nature being more recent.  Neither of these, however, mean the loss of a larger framework.  Discussions ensue\n\t\t418\tSuggestion that the loss is a gradual loss of hierarchical power structures which is wonderful\n\t\t428\tLoss of transcendence throws responsibility back on living communities\n\t\t433\tEshleman argues that nature is all of this and, unlike a corrupt political system, if this goes, it’s not something you can have a revolution over\n\t\t452\tEshleman reads from Trilce, a cycle of 77 roman-numeralled poems without tiles\n\t\t481\tEnd of Trilce LIII\n\t\t483\tReading begins, Trilce XLIX\n\t\t500\tEnd of XLIX\n\t\t502\tReading from Trilce LVII\n\t\t518\tEnd of LVII\n\t\t523\tReading from Trilce LXXV\n\t\t552\tEnd of LXXV\n\t\t554\tEpilogue to this poem.  Villejo had left northern Peru and moved to Lima in late teens (1900). Made several trips back to where he was born, but increasingly found life in Trujillo boring.  LXXV a response to this life\n\t\t577\tNo manuscript to Trilce.  Discussion of this\n\t\t585\tEshleman recommends a Spanish text of Vallejo’s work, published by UNESCO, Collecion Archivo, complete works of Vallejo\n\t\t590\tSide One Ends\nTwo\t\t004\tSide Two begins mid-sentence with Eshleman discussing juxtaposition of Vallejo’s style\n\t\t019\tBegins reading III, Trilce\n\t\t063\tIII ends\n\t\t064\tIV begins (Trilce)\n\t\t103\tIV ends\n\t\t111\tXXV begins (Trilce)\n\t\t142\tXXV ends.  Eshleman notes that there seems to be a very coherent argument set forth, but he doesn’t know what poem is about 111)\n\t\t158\t“The Power Room” (about Les Eyzies, a village in southern France which used to dub itself the Prehistoric Capital of the World, epicentre of all ice age caves and shelters.  A museum houses what Eshleman calls “The Power Room” due to the slabs which have the first image-making on them, dated at 35-30,000 BC representing the point at which something we can begin to work with as image comes into active consciousness)\n\t\t179\tReading of “The Power Room” begins\n\t\t234\t“The Power Room” ends\n\t\t238\t“The Chaos of the Wise”\n\t\t323\tEnd of poem\n\t\t326\tEshleman is interested in 1945-48 period when Artaud, who had been in asylums for nearly 9 years begins to speak, correspond, be human again in the asylum of Rodez.  For the next three years he writes and draws at white heat, comparable, says Eshleman to Dickinson’s 1862 or Van Gogh\n\t\t345\tArtaud is in electric shock & his last experience is a turning point.  He began to write, chant his favourite writings, dictate to a secretary\n\t\t357\tPiece written in 1946, “Artaud the Yo-yo,” translated by Eshleman, title is explained.  Section I of the poem to be read is “The return of Artaud the yo-yo”\n\t\t369\tArtaud began to invent words in his asylum cell.  Rage and irrationality find escape valves in his poetry through such word sounds, as Artaud travels between worlds of madness and rationality, finding an expression for his madness\n\t\t478\tEnd of poem\n\t\t482\tArtaud from Conductors of the Pit, published by Paragon House in New York City, 1988\n\t\t496\tEshleman describes content of his translations in Conductors of the Pit\n\t\t516\tEshleman responds to a question (inaudible) about sound variations in the translations of Vallejo’s neologisms\n\t\t524\tQuestion about the shape of the movement in Trilce\n\t\t527\tEshleman discusses Vallejo’s poems about his mother in terms of their spacing and rhythm in Trilce.  He rejects the darkness of Trilce\n\t\t553\tInaudible question to which Eshleman responds on James Wright’s poetry, Peter Redgrove and Spicer\n\t\t593\tTape ends in the middle of barely audible discussion about Eshleman’s dream of the ghost of Spicer and James Wright’s corpse"],"score":5.1119223},{"id":"5356","cataloger_name":["Mozhgan,Nourafkan"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.

Appears to be a narrative alignment between the human and the animals\n\t\t254\tEshleman calls for a critical reading of the paintings which for many years have been literally translated in terms of animals and the hunt, with no psychic or psychological reading of the material.  This is the time of the beginning of image-making, the construction of the underworld of the Cro-Magnon people, upon whose shoulders we stand\n\t\t265\tDiscussion of the Venus symbol anatomy\n\t\t315\t“Hand negatives” – many hands are anatomical and raise the mystery of their origins\n\t\t345\tGouged slabs (30-35000 BC) represent earliest form of image-making\n\t\t383\tQuestion period begins\n\t\t385\tQuestion – if the Shaman figure is only 2 feet tall, yet is 20 feet up the cave wall, is that the original interval between audience and image?\n\t\t389\tEshleman responds with “conjectural information” – formation of the cave may have been different at 13000 BC than it is now; scaffolding could have been used; there seems to be a fascination with placing images in virtually inaccessible spots\n\t\t398\tGives such an example of cave painting in Le Portel in the Ariege\n\t\t403\tQuestioner draws correlation to medieval cathedrals in France and England decorated with “roof art” of hundreds of intricate medallion designs not visible to the human eye, yet revealing many formal experiments\n\t\t425\tQuestion of cave audience for the wall paintings is purely conjectural.  Generally people lived outside of the caves, occasionally sleeping inside.  Caves seem to be used for initiation purposes.  Eshleman describes first free-standing sculpture 16000 BC likely used in such rites.  Refers to poem written about his experience of it, “Notes on a visit to Le Tuc D’Audoubert”\n\t\t444\tIn response to question of how Eshleman regards the human/animal hybrid figure, he sees it as a tension, with no clear-cut statement about human or animal.  As we move from pre-history into history, there is a progressive de-garbing of animality, of a freeing of human anatomy\n\t\t464\tDiscussion of python worship and endurance of animal symbology being cast off from the human form\n\t\t515\tEshleman responds to a question about his personal experience of the cave.  He refers to hallucinogens in use of cave paintings.  His unwillingness to impose a 20th century perspective on the abstract work.
