CONTENT

Contents:
Two 000 Roy Miki asks bp how The Martyrology got going and what direction he had intended it to go 051 Bp talks – the origin of his Saints in “St” words Began to address these Saints in Scraptures Started Martyrology in fall 1968 123 Book one has a stronger narrative form. Bp says because it is less personal 130 Roy asks about utaniki – Basho’s Form Eg. – “Basho’s Narrow Road to the Deep North” An on-going linkage of prose and poetry in the Martyrology “a constant formal interruption” 152 George says E.A. Poe says all long poems are prose interrupted by poetry 159 Syntax and body structure Bp sees connection in breath, sequence, poem and body 185 George says of imagists that they replaced regular syntax with syntax of the image, and bp has replaced syntax of the image with syntax of the body 194 Synapse – George asks if it is a thing or an action Bp says it happens between Ganglia 215 Bp says when he initially wrote he was trying to notate his voice as it happened, get the syntax down to the body and breathing. Later he gets down to challenge the notation, to create a particular sound effect. So he can use syntax and notation to extend the range of sound 238 George talks about difference between typewriting and handwriting, the presence of the body in written script. In the typewriter you can by pass the body 260 Daphne Marlatt disagrees – says the rush of the body is present in fast typing
