CONTENT

Contents:
Side Track No. Comments One 000 Creeley presenting Zukofsky bibliography 140 Audience question – gestalt therapy in relation to poetics – discussion on contexts of being 170 Creeley – reality as extensive verbal construct – need to return to our bodies – often by the agencies of this order of help ie psychologists 200 Ginsberg on keywords used by members of this discussion which reveal a definite experience of being here in the universe, in a place: field, energy, eternity, form-place, natural harmony, go for broke… samenesses and differences 290 Dangers of static terminologies 340 Creeley recounts story of a reading in the mid-west. After the reading, a young man who was deeply moved by the second to last poem, comes up to the reader and asks this question “Was that a real poem or did you just make it up yourself?” Creeley’s question is “How shall we measure what we do?” 360 Discussion on form and content – Creeley stating a context in which the issue of some occasion is the means by which a poem occurs as opposed to a putting on of form like a coat. Levertov – form is never more than the revelation of content as opposed to Creeley’s “Form is never more than the extension of content”. 395 Levertov – the Elizabethan sonnet 470 Avison – the ‘machine’ and ‘form’ 510 Levertov – “You don’t know what you think till you see what you do.” Creeley – “There’s no occasion other than what is, as is literally now.” 580 Creeley’s letter to Olson re ‘form-content’ 670 Thought preceding poem? – Form preceding occasion? – Wyatt’s “They Flee From Me” 725 Roy Kiyooka – form in painting – Rubens 765 Creeley – What do we mean by form in a poem? – How do we know when it’s a poem? – What is a poem? 820 Creeley – “What measure exists to know what a poem is? “ this is not a concern while you’re writing – story about Robert Graves being halfway through a poem for The New Yorker 890 John Keyes relates story about Franz Kline, destroying form, destroying himself- argument ensues involving Keyes, Creeley, Ginsberg, Kiyooka
