Attention Span 2005
Introductory Note
As I've done for the past several summers, this July I appealed to the readers of Third Factory to send along word of recent "finds" in the fields of poetry, culture, scholarship, and politics. And as I've come to expect, the response was generous and richly informative.
The last of the lists reached me in early August and I did much of the tabulation and formatting in the final weeks of summer. But when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans at the end of August, the enormity of the natural and political disaster made reflection on other things nearly impossible. I decided to delay release of this informal charting of things (mostly) poetic until a quieter moment.
But one could easily slip from existence waiting for one of those, so I'll delay no longer, even though my mind is elsewhere as I write this headnote.
Presented below is the full set of responses organized by frequency of mention and author-title. Individually-signed lists will be brought online in batches throughout October. Thanks to all the contributors for sharing your invaluable impressions. And thanks to those of you who visit these pages. I hope you'll consider contributing to the next installment.
— Steve Evans, 10 October 2005, Orono, Maine
(By way of full disclosure: It is my pleasure to know personally a good many of the writers whose titles appear below. However two relationships bear marking out here. Benjamin Friedlander, whose Simulcast is frequently mentioned, is a colleague of mine in the English Department at the University of Maine, where we both pursue projects with the National Poetry Foundation. Jennifer Moxley, whose Often Capital is cited as well, is my partner of seventeen years.)
