One 000 Discussion concerning the physical contexts of writing – the first section of this discussion (up to 285) has been transcribed and published in Robert Creeley’s book Contexts of Poetry : Interviews 1961-1971.
Creeley speaking on differing states of consciousness-on writing The Island – on the limitations of a particular physical context and the resulting qualifications in the writing
285 Ginsberg re ‘accidents’ in writing which preclude a preconceived form- a writing which allows for the entry of anything
350 Creeley on learned habits of organization in writing
490 Response from audience- concern over Creeley and Ginsberg being too apologetic about writing poetry
718 Writing is not doing things to satisfy something you know but rather to allow oneself entry into what is not known
785 Creeley- stylistic habits become the imposition of form on the writing, no longer allowing things to happen
870 Creeley- confidence in writing- possibility of the canon of one’s work becoming a burden ie having produced, can one continue to produce?
959 This section which begins with Ginsberg speaking has also been transcribed in the abovementioned text
Discussion on the limitations of prescribed contexts- dangers of habits of articulation
