in order to enjoy Fact-Simile’s fantastic line of poetry trading cards. They’re assembling a kind of all-star team of innovative poets and they’ve just released #9: Ron Silliman!
Only a paltry 99 cents (plus shipping)…or take advantage of the 2010 subscription for 10 dollars plus s/h. Other writers from the series include Flarfist K. Silem Mohammad, the hard-hitting Linh Dinh, and the legendary “fast speaking woman” Anne Waldman.
Very cute. But what I really want are poetry Magic cards.
I don’t know much about Magic cards but T.S. Eliot should be wielding the Rod of Ruin.
Adding: Seems like the perfect opportunity to put this here…

Is there a collected videos of Anne Waldman?
Shouldn’t there be?
Wow — this is awesome, Adam. There definitely should be a collected videos!
I first came across it in Lyn Blumenthal’s “What Does She Want” video series.

A lot of libraries have copies. The Video Databank in Chicago also, of course, has a set. (It was co-founded by Blumenthal.) The VDB is located in the Michigan building of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is free and open to the public.
