<p>Poetry. Magazine. In the mid 1970s Alan Davies edited forty issues of the influential magazine A HUNDRED POSTERS. Approximately one hundred poets were published, many more than once, with some represented by single-author issues. The magazine was for a time representative of the Boston poetry scene; it later went on to publish poets from many backgrounds, including substantial amounts of work by some of the best known Language poets. Among those whose work appeared are Allen Ginsberg, John Wieners, Anne Waldman, Andrei Codrescu, Larry Eigner, Hannah Weiner, Ron Silliman, and Susan Howe. The importance of the authors published makes this reissue more than a document of the past; it provides a solid indication of poetic directions available in the present, and for the future.</p>

<p>Poetry. The plan for POST~TWYLA, first published abroad in 2006, was to spoof John Ashbery's book-length poem Flow Chart by way of three-line ersatz haiku, a contradictory format to the prolixity of the original. Jack Kimball explains, "Problem was it didn't work. I stopped after the fifth page, because I wasn't 'reacting' so much as 'countering' with extraneous materials. I wound up sourcing dozens of texts, including Flow Chart, but not page-by-page as intended. I adopted a nonsystematic, countering method, arguing with metaphors, vocabulary, and as the assembly process spread like narcolepsy it didn't stop until I hit 250 poems, a cut-off imposed before it got tedious. I introduced 'commentary' after many verses to extend or preview ideas and to upset the 'flow.' POST~TWYLA is a heap of disparities from, of, and in poetry remade into YouTubeable excerpts and Twitter fodder."</p>
