good news ... glad to learn this/ and about your numerous poetry readings... the work you have / sent back then on brim is still there and as likable as when I first read it ~ .
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had almost forgotten about 'taking the brim took the broom'! I'm not sure why, because I love that name, but I guess it must be related to my memory issues - because I'm still not recollecting all the details of it. But I just looked at the archives and saw my 'Nori, Shiny Side Down' and 'The Word (Contains the Heart)'.

_____________ i just did this 2x and the computer went rinkydrinky! anyways theres all the ones i find....
Haha! About the rinkydrinky business!
ReplyDeleteActually, i'm not sure if i should be laughing; blogspot formatting can be sort of irksome.
Goodness gracious about all those links! I'll look at more of them tomorrow.
Me & my memory issues are so disenchanting!
I mean I recognize all those poem names (and most of them have been published now - and some of them have been revised - and many of them appear within my first full-length book - and etc...)
And I remember the name 'taking the brim took the broom' but I don't remember exactly what it WAS. I imagine it was a blog style poetry source, because I saw my CandyDishDoom name under the poems - from back in my xanga frenetic bloggy style days. :)
I'm terrible with dates these days, but let me take a gander at some of my paperwork (for the sake of remembering dates) and then perhaps I can semi-explain my memory issues a bit.
In late 2008 I sort of suddenly/unexpectedly lost my long time/full time bill paying job - so I think it was shortly after that I shut down my CandyDishDoom blog, largely because I was applying for new jobs, and I knew darn well (since i had been a hiring/training supervisor in my old job) that possible employers research you online, so... I really toned down my blogging/online sharing during that time.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, about a year after losing my job (I still hadn't gotten a new one yet, despite applying for literally over 100 within a year), I had this unexpected health issue happen early in 2009, which literally caused me to lose some brain power. I had a carotid artery dissection, which caused a couple aneurisms, which caused me to have a stroke. So when I say things about my memory issues, that would be the primary reason why.
They've gotten better though. I have such passion for art, poetry, reading, and writing that I certainly wasn't about to give up on that stuff. So even though i have some odd little word issues and my reading is slower than it used to be, I think it was my genuine passion for that sort of stuff (reading/writing/creativity) that helped my recovery a lot.
Before that health issue happened, sometime near the end of 2008, i had my first full-length poetry book published by BlazeVOX - and then less than a year after the health issue, in late 2010, i started working on assembling my second full-length poetry book, which I'm currently submitting. :)
As for all my poems you linked to above(thank you!), I recognized all of the names, except for the 'new hausfraus'. That title did not sound familiar, so I guess I must have eliminated that piece from my repertoire a while back (but of course I am now going to read it and see why).
ReplyDeleteMost of the others have either been substantially revised (and sometimes re-named) and published OR published pretty much the way they were. :)
P.S. Actually the health issue occurred early in 2010. Me and numbers.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a story, you've survived a lot ! Poets are strong when it comes to their art! good for you that you beat it thus far. And I saw your ebook publication and plan to read it. As for Brim it was a group that I started way back in 2005 witha handful of people, literally 5 or maybe 6 and it grew and grew until over time until 2008 when I pretty much closed it down there were over 10,000 postings and near to 200 I think people who had contributed. Some american some canadian (which I am) and people from all around this fair world of ours and its zany days and stuff. Then I had other things to do and write and so on and I put it on hold for ages until recently when i started combing through the archive and that's where many of your poems were too as you know now under the pseudonym of Candy Dish Doom, which name is poetic and fun and zany. That's my word of the day zany and other boppy do words. Anyhow, to make a long story a bit more tapestry like I was editing it and adding , I mean editing Brim and finding the various authors, I dug, and I added their links to the blog roll and went looking to see who was around and saw you were writing under your own name of Juliet Cook. Which is also a poetic name don't you think? By the way, I read the interview which I found yesterday wherein you were speaking about chapbooks and I think it 's true. I like what you say and about ebooks too, it is not the same, and further to more, why ought to be? Why can't books be books and ebooks be ebooks? You cant hold and ebook in your hands. And anyhow, you said all of that ever so well in that interview. I have scoops of books, of all sorts, and indeed , I had some printed and published. And some not. And did readings with music and some not. And oh and before i forget the links to your poems were not hard to get because you had blogged them in takingthebrim! so I just copied all those links. It's interesting you went to revise and revisit some of them and that's another rich process right?
ReplyDeleteI think it's terrific you got another book in the works, and I m gonna take a look at the colloboration poem . I'd like to buy one of your printed books when I have some extra cash to spare. I can look for copies of my own and can send those to you if youare interested. I am working on a long series of poems , about 100 that I am hoping to get into print either in the fall, or the early spring. I am sort of thinking of putting some ona cd to go with it of me reading, I also heard a podcast on another site of you reading! it was cool to hear and interested me to hear how you read your poems.I have not had to the kind of health issue you confronted, a stroke that caused aphasia, but at one point along the way I had a big thing however it's been quite resolved for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI can be reached at takingthebrim@gmail. com if you want to correspond there too.
I am just double tickled pink to know things you sent to the blog made it off into other formats and print too! Its a sign of reality that poems continue to take a life of their own in different shapes and forms don'y you think
?
One last thing, I am probably goin to start another group blog again! and you'd be welcome aboard if you were interested, or innaressed as an Americ an friend of mine likes to say

P.P.S. pp puddle S ~ okiedokie; i saw you had a new one there too in the newerest entry . I like that idea of print an digital. Its faskinating! there's a kind of double edged sword to that isn't there? anyhow, i really think though, not to appear too repetitious on it, that the feel of a physical book, and even its smell, you know? and its feeling along one's skin is more suited to my idea of books. i do lots of collages and did and have done quite a few in the blogs, but really compared to actual paper and its real textures well, there'a dif. I am not say one is better, but I do prefer the actual paper and print.
ReplyDeleteO my this a river of comments and conversation. Cheers, as they say.
pPPp s. i guess , this is the puddle of ppppsss. this is to continue the part about print and digital; i feel like i am contradicting myself because i have about 20 blogs on the go! but like whitman wrote in leaves of grass 'Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.' and I am big on that, because there's a whole world and more of the blog world of poetry right, and that is digital. Who knows, maybe in a hundred we will be able to touch and smell and feel blogs, and the digital and so the virtual as its sometimes called will become as real as everyday! it'd be like the world of spirit or astral bodies becoming carnal and incarnate ... into flesh and blood. and bones. Because although poetry life in the sense that it breathes and so forth , it is also spirit. And digital in a sense might be , or is a form of, spirit, and its foreboding. I do get loquacious once i start going on these things....hahah ok .. signing off for now.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Well I'm smiling as I read all your psssing, so I guess I like it and agree/can relate on quite a few levels. I'll send you an email on some of those levels. You'll be getting it from Julietcoo@gmail.com, which is my main email address these days.
