The Text of Shelley’s Death ‘merely underlines one’s worst fears that the postmodern world view adds nothing to any subject and tends to confuse what we already know.’ Christopher Goulding, Keats-Shelley Review

Paradigm of the Tinctures
The new ebook from Argotist Ebooks is “Paradigm of the Tinctures” by Steve McCaffery and Alan Halsey. This revised and expanded edition of “Paradigm of the Tinctures” by Steve McCaffery and Alan Halsey revisits the classic humanist idea of the Sister Arts where poetry is understood to be a speaking picture and a picture a silent poem. The revisitation, however, is bluntly revisionary and the result is a fresh text-graphic dialogue. Available as a free ebook here.
Richard Barrett’s Sidings reviewed
“This is a coal-fired collection with its roots in romanticism. Barrett is as fascinated by place and landscape as Wordsworth or Coleridge, but his is an urban, post-industrial pastoral. For Lake Windermere, read the Manchester Ship Canal; for the opium den, read the fast food outlet; for the storm scoured heath, read the corporate courtyard.”

Reillumination

Launch of new ReSite – Manual of Scores, Manifestos and Radical Actions
ReSite magazine, published by Field Study, will be re-launched with a new format and philosophy of intent. ReSite will no longer be a loose-leaf publication, but instead will take the form of a wire bound manual. ReSite will remain an assembling publication where all pages are to be conceived as having an element of audience participation or interaction. Works can take the form of scores, instructions or interventions, to be realised by the reader.
ReSite is part of the tradition of Fluxus editions where anyone can perform a Fluxus action or score. In addition to the concept brief, future participants should think about their works in a more critical way and tap into the rich tradition of the avant-grade. ReSite will become a manual reflecting the diversity of current alternative practice. Hopefully this will encourage writers and musicians to produce visual scores as well as continuing contributions by conceptual artists.
Here is a random list of influences that might inspire you.
Cornelius Cardew’s Scratch Music, Surrealist Manifesto by Andre Breton, Art-Language, An Anthology edited by La Monte Young and Jackson Mac Low, Fluxus Kits, Notations by John Cage, Grapefruit by Yoko Ono, Neoist Manifestos, Whole Earth Catalogue, Little Red School Book, Potlatch, Situationist Times, Pataphysics, Oulipo, Auto- Destructive Art Manifesto by Gustav Metzger, S.C.U.M. Manifesto by Valerie Solanas, Class War, The Book Of The Law by Aleister Crowley, Anathema of Zos by Austin Osman Spare, writings of Antonin Artaud

Philip Davenport reviews * by Tom Jenks
“There’s no sense of an overarching schema, no symphony, no grand homophonic ending. This is channel-hopping faster than eye or ear, driven by panic and punctuated with nervous jokes. In the tone of it, I’m reminded of nobody so much as neurotic old Brit comedians, Kenneth Williams or Hancock, the weirdness of their emotional hygiene, the horror at the approach of their ogres. Held in the throat of the poem is Ken Williams’s skreeking laugh, Hancock’s tussle with the melancholy of each bloodied day.”
