ModPo continues to be absolutely free and open to everyone. We begin on September 12 and will run for 10 weeks, as usual, until November 23.<br />
<br />
If you haven't been inside the ModPo site since 2012 or 2013, you will find so many new things: a whole supplemental syllabus of poems and video discussions called "ModPoPLUS," a set of videos aimed to helping teachers teach these poems and these sorts of poems, and many new video clips showing ModPo people from around the world doing their own close readings of our poems.<br />
<br />
The main syllabus has been adjusted somewhat and there are new poems (and new videos) there.<br />
<br />
Plus: the original ModPo TAs will be back once again! Come back and hang out with Anna, Max, Dave, Amaris, Ali, Emily, Molly and all of us in discussion forums, during face-to-face meet-ups in various cities, during "office hours," and during our now-famous weekly live webcast sessions.<br />
<br />
Below my signature are a few links to videos that might put you back in the interactive, poetry-loving spirit.<br />
<br />
Whether you join ModPo again or not, please feel free to visit the Writers House at 3805 Locust Walk in Philadelphia any time. And/or join the main ModPo Facebook group: <a href="https://eventing.coursera.org/redirect/XChV6JaGmjMBNh_ERTnBeW_dY403JSj_TnYIMI8BsIyJiyrRVT6yX1Nqm6AxpEPPLEmEry09XbIBmM8AqseYlA.uMrrQdOq8L493ZTfeNhxlA.9wMaRpBWTvrrSTj3qLESmmLl_YhYpG5fwXTClo1CtBQK6Vm4fAOavvRbvqLCq4H2EHON9ZVt4E70FerGZNqeg4lTpYzbqs0p5EVBQ4bwkRtqrdw7jwmnvfCTxict8GQhC_aMIFbDSm11HSl4XoRBgw-KsmFXpWxXPsVb_L3vTAKUP9Cb_TwWklWQaNFIWlYbaekaIeAf25I8R7sY8OjWbgWBHo2QuAQlKFfzoU1TqV-21EQxqMftH-o6WqGgrB8RdxUyTQcYaLX5quaH3cnBqdrc3Wm2nPbdujRkCobMHYi_Qf2ahRvsSMBr2kIw8UbfaXIvct_jIlT_ETpj-ugqj7pYRhHMtVlj9_9o2Ic06NgOITvkOgg_Dw29eBl7JMDyqs7viRYo7iDsOZn-QXkjrCJf-JYzNR5ALSS4jHqxIcEgLOz8XTqh7-gJUYUEIT90dmaffwTWTtYo9PwL2OHdA7JOzdz4DtlnEZYZXXfNpD6SLeRLJHEm1ahzkVabbmNj" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1440624853258_20394" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/modpo/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/modpo/</a> .

Since a collection of her poems, <i>Spirit Birds They Told Me</i>, was published (West End Press, 2011), her poems have appeared in numerous publications and on-line sites, as varied as <i><a href="http://malpaisreview.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Malpais Review</a>, <a href="http://www.dukecityfix.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Duke City Fix</a></i>, and <i>Indian Country Today</i>. She has three poems in the current issue of <i><a href="http://themastequilareview.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mas Tequila Review</a></i>, edited and published by Richard Vargas, who is also performing on September 10th.<br />

A reply came at once from the Jewish Museum Frankfurt. Mathilde Stein, born March 22, 1882, has her own tablet in the memory wall. (Not a monument, mind you, we're not scolding here, we're remembering.) The museum is gathering biographies for a database and asked if our family wouldn't like to contribute something about Thilde. Perhaps a photo of her, they asked, since they had no knowledge of her beyond her name and date of birth. <a class="" href="http://berfrois.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08584b6b50d1bd4b1acc7b3b2&id=797f909ffd&e=44744cb7e4" rel="nofollow" style="color: #2a79c1; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">More</a><br />

Industry welcomes cheap immigrant workers, but there's little respect for those who answer the call. Diego Rivera's glorification of the working class in his murals was the exception, not the rule. Though they worked the land and layered the bricks of its buildings, they were, in some deep sense, homeless, and so forced to create a 'country' of their own. <a class="" href="http://berfrois.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08584b6b50d1bd4b1acc7b3b2&id=2864ff8f05&e=44744cb7e4" rel="nofollow" style="color: #2a79c1; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">More</a></div>

A shining example of pirate civility took place in late September 1718, on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina.

Thinking is reputed to impede action, to make hay of instincts and of standards, to fritter reality into doubt; and the career of Hamlet is frequently pointed out as a proof of its unhappy effects. But one has not very often an opportunity of verifying these drawbacks of thinking.

Rather than creating an alternative internet (one that is free, self-managed and non-commercial), contemporary tech activists seem far more concerned with harnessing the potential of the capitalistic internet, making use of the capabilities of gigantic corporate social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

I am a love theorist. I sometimes feel dissociated from all my loves. I sometimes ask them to hold more of an image of me than I can hold.

I find myself in a strange sorta place today, lol…an exciting and nerve-wracking one to be sure, lol. This year I was nominated for TWO <span class="" style="font-weight: bold;">National Poetry Awards</span> (sort of the Grammy's for poets) ~ for <span class="" style="font-weight: bold;">Slam Artist of the Year</span> and <span class="" style="font-weight: bold;">Slam Organizer of the Year</span> ~ needless to say, I am beyond honored to be recognized with the nominations. I like to think this is a testament not only to hard work and a passion for poetry, but also a testament to the influence and creativity of New Mexico's poets and organizers who have challenged and inspired me daily.</div>
<div class="">
</div>
<div class="">
Now, I would like to humbly ask for your support ~ as silly as I feel asking, this is the process, so will you please vote for me?</div>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Dineh (Navajo) from the Navajo Reservation in White Cone, Arizona, received an AFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts. He is the author of Shapeshift (2003) and Flood Song (2009). His poems come from "the intersection" of Native American and contemporary American culture. His poems are "imagistic, surreal, and rich with details of the landscape of the Southwest." Flood Song is a lyric sequence that explores the traditions of Native American writing in new ways. Bitsui has received a Whiting Writers' Award, a grant from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry, and a Truman Capote Creative Writing Fellowship. </div>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
from the Embudo Valley of New Mexico and earned a BA and an MA in architecture at the University of New Mexico.

<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">More about the venue, it is the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Special Collections branch, located on the northwest corner of Central & Edith, directly across Central from the Artichoke Cafe, which is both good food and a good landmark! The library itself is a 1925 Pueblo/Spanish Revival style home and is a historic building, really fun to visit. Parking is tricky, watch out for signs about not parking where it is permit only. Metered parking is available on the west side of Edith though. Come early, carpool, ride your bike or walk if you are nearby, enjoy this gorgeous spring weather. </span></span></span></div>

He is married to Lenore Goodell, photographer & phenologist, and has lived in Placitas since 1963, extending poetry into its ceremonial roots – performance, masks, costume, lighting, song, scene, with cloth or painted backings to poems when appropriate. Although tagged as a performance poet since the early 60's he loves the printed page and founded <span style="font-style: italic;">duende press</span> in '64.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">His writing comes from the myth of local inspiration, and often generates from organic gardening and love for New Mexico. He is a risk-taker in language who avoids revision considering the hand written original as precedent. His work is often satirical and seriously funny. Books: <span style="font-style: italic;">Cycles</span>, 1966 (duende press), <span style="font-style: italic;">Firecracker Soup</span>, 1990 (Cinco Puntos Press), <span style="font-style: italic;">Out of Secrecy</span>, 1992 (Yoo-Hoo Press), <span style="font-style: italic;">Here on Earth</span>, 1996 (La Alameda Press).

Her poetry appears in several anthologies, including our <i>Fixed and Free Poetry Anthology 2011</i>, in university publications and in her two chapbooks <i>Poems at 65</i> and <i>Striations</i>. She is active in SouthWest Writers and Fixed and Free poets and promotes poetry readings at local libraries. Her first novel, <i>Secrets of the Plumed Saint: A Tale of Intrigue from Northern New Mexico</i>, was published in 2012. Her writing is informed by many years of teaching English to speakers of other languages in Brazil, Japan, on the Dine reservation and in adult ESL programs in New York and California.

This might be termed a paradigm of conspiracy. It involves in every case a quest inspired by some arcane lore, whether good or evil, possessed by a secret group. We peruse these works not simply for the adrenalin kick of the adventures they contain, but also with the hope that we will gain insight into the secret of the conspiracy.

The consequence of Simmel's wide ranging interests and his pursuit of often small-scale phenomena is the sense that his work is quite disjointed. He is often not seen to have been pursuing a grand and overarching intellectual project. Henry Schermer and David Jary argue the opposite, however. Their new book suggests that a consistent 'general method' lay behind Simmel's output. <a rel="nofollow" style="color:#2A79C1;text-decoration:underline;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5643&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/david-beer-collecting-simmels-thoughts/">More</a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table class="yiv7822126790mceItemTable" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:15px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="160" width="485"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width:167px;text-align:center;"> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5644&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/ways-of-seeing-redux-patricia-emison/"><img src="http://www.berfrois.com/newsletters/images/10-12-13-level2-5.jpg" border="0" height="114" width="146"></a> </td> <td style="padding-right:13px;width:296px;"> <div style="font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;color:#C54842;"><br></div><div style="font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;color:#C54842;"> <a rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration:none;color:#f83c3d;" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5644&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/ways-of-seeing-redux-patricia-emison/">Patricia Emison: Presenting Art</a> </div> <div style="font-size:14px;padding-bottom:7px;margin-top:0px;"> Ways of Seeing, <i>redux</i> </div> <div style="font-size:12px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;"> I put the fame of <i>Ways of Seeing</i> down as one of life's minor mysteries; surely, it must have been felicitously timed. Now, however, the original is available on YouTube, and finally I understand. For once, the book is a lesser manifestation than the film. John Berger's clothing and hair may be sorely out of fashion, but his voice and the expressivity of his face would suit any decade. Eminently thoughtful without being the least pretentious or sententious, deeply subversive without being even a touch hysterical or desperate, he offers choice company. Life, which he likes to remind us provides the ultimate source of value, rarely offers a companion of such astuteness and intellectual honesty. <a rel="nofollow" style="color:#2A79C1;text-decoration:underline;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5644&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/ways-of-seeing-redux-patricia-emison/">More</a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table class="yiv7822126790mceItemTable" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:15px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="160" width="485"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width:167px;text-align:center;"> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5645&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/beyond-the-good-berfrois-interviews-todd-mcgowan/"><img src="http://www.berfrois.com/newsletters/images/10-12-13-level2-6.jpg" border="0" height="114" width="146"></a> </td> <td style="padding-right:13px;width:296px;"> <div style="font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;color:#C54842;"><br></div><div style="font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;color:#C54842;"> <a rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration:none;color:#f83c3d;" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5645&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/beyond-the-good-berfrois-interviews-todd-mcgowan/">Todd McGowan: Beyond the Good</a> </div> <div style="font-size:14px;padding-bottom:7px;margin-top:0px;"> <i>An interview by Daniel Tutt</i> </div> <div style="font-size:12px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;"> We are constantly bombarded with commands that we enjoy ourselves, and we feel guilty not for our sins but for our failures to enjoy as much as others seemingly do. Psychoanalysis shows us that this command to enjoy is integral to how authority operates and that obedience can feel transgressive. This is the key to the power of contemporary authority. We obey but never experience ourselves as obedient.

The JCP now advocates change from within the capitalist system and rejects social revolution, the very essence of Marxism.

But do poets always know the truth of what they've wrought? <a rel="nofollow" style="color:#2A79C1;text-decoration:underline;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5649&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/ron-rosenbaum-on-auden-larkin-and-love/">More</a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td> <table class="yiv7822126790mceItemTable" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="135"> <tbody><tr> <td style="padding-left:10px;" valign="top"> <div style="font-size:12px;margin-bottom:5px;color:#C54842;font-weight:bold;"> <a rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration:none;color:#f83c3d;" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5650&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/jenny-diski-and-the-vast-leaning-book-towers/">Jenny Diski: His Books</a> </div> <br> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bond-mail.co.uk/mailer/lt.php?c=374&m=262&nl=41&s=5e9a210140c315b9fb97e3ab786c03b2&lid=5650&l=-http--www.berfrois.com/2013/11/jenny-diski-and-the-vast-leaning-book-towers/"><img src="http://www.berfrois.com/newsletters/images/10-12-13-level3-2.jpg" alt="" style="margin-top:0px;" border="0" height="101" width="128"></a> <div style="font-size:11px;"> The Poet uses books to think with.
