You know there is a new word going around that future poetry is going to be urban, satiric and gang produced. And that its going to be devoid of resonance. They’re going to get the resonance out of it, see … all that. I want you to know in advance about what’s coming... and profit (prophet?).

High and well deserved praise from Ron Silliman's blog for Aaron Levy and Slought dot net.
One of my favorite Slought dot net features is the archive of the Vancouver 1963 Poetry Conference readings and lectures along side miscellaneous readings and lectures from 1961-67.
I've been told that a few people enjoyed my referring to the Ed Dorn readings over at FactorySchool dot org. Slough dot net has two Ed Dorn readings which are not included in my Poetry Audio Links index.
While these readings are on the weblog, there are not in the index because I am currently transferring the index onto a database, as it has gotten too large and cumbersome to keep in HTML. So if you don't find something you are looking for in the index, use the search feature on the right and you might find it buried in the weblog. If anyone is available to help input the links into a database or has knowledge of SQL, the assistance would be greatly appriciated.
