working...

on a lecture given by Jenny Penberthy at Naropa July 4, 1995 on Niedecker and Surrealism...

i remember Penberthy giving a similar lecture for The Poetry Center @ SFSU a few years back...the Oppen Lecture perhaps? (where Penberthy played the only known recording of Niedecker reading her poems...amazing!)

lot's about N.'s "Vertical Simultaneity," her experiment of putting three poems on the page together to "catch the intersections of consciousness and unconsciousness," with regards to her primary "basic color, sound, and rhythm" poetics...

and then lot's about N.'s "the subconscious and folk" poetics as applied to her New Goose poems...as Penberthy explains, "the deeply embeded rhythms of our childhood as explored in the poems.."

Steve Dickison recently (couple years ago) published the New Goose poems in a beautiful little edition from his Listening Chamber press...pretty sure they're still available from SPD...
