About the Vermont Poetry Newsletter Network
Dear Friends of Poetry:
Some of you are still using my old email address of sshortpt@verizon.net or sshortpt@myfairpoint.net, but I'd like all further correspondence to go to my new permanent email address of:
vtpoet@gmail.com
Don't forget to support your newest additions to Vermont literary magazines, Bloodroot and Queen City Press. The people behind these sparkling gems have tried very hard to improve the literary world we now enjoy in Vermont.
National Poetry Month (April) is right around the corner. David Weinstock of the Otter Creek Poets is now asking for suggestions for guest speakers, guest poets, and other events in celebration of the art and its special month. They writing group has four Thursdays to plan for, April 2, 16, 23 and 30. (April 9 is the first night of Passover.) If you have any interesting program ideas for us to mull over, please let me know and I will pass them on to David. If you're a poet and would consider providing a reading or program to the group, again, contact me.
I have begun my new job as the General Manager of Rutland Natural Food Market: The Co-op. In fact, I've already completed my first week of training, with one more to go before the store is handed off to me. The Vermont Poetry Newsletter is roughly a 6-8 hour exercise for me, so I will be producing it every other week from this date forward. To put it together and publish it more often than that would simply not be as enjoyable for me, and I fear is that the newsletter might outwardly show that. I want it to be a source of enjoyment and enlightenment for all of us!

THIS WEEK'S WRITING ASSIGNMENT/SUGGESTION/EXERCISE:
Those blessèd structures, plot and rhyme—
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?
I hear the noise of my own voice:
The painter's vision is not a lens,
it trembles to caress the light.
But sometimes everything I write
with the threadbare art of my eye
seems a snapshot,
lurid, rapid, garish, grouped,
heightened from life,
yet paralyzed by fact.
All's misalliance.
Yet why not say what happened?
Pray for the grace of accuracy
Vermeer gave to the sun's illumination
stealing like the tide across a map
to his girl solid with yearning.
We are poor passing facts,
warned by that to give
each figure in the photograph
his living name.
–Robert Lowell, Day by Day © 1977
ASSIGNMENT: SAY WHAT HAPPENED.
In this late poem, which probably refers to Vermeer's painting "Officer and Laughing Girl," American poet Robert Lowell tries to move beyond techniques that no longer serve him and put his faith in clear vision and straight reporting.
1. Start with a sharp, clear, external vision: a memory, a photograph, or a painting.
2. Pray for the grace of accuracy.
3. Say what happened.
(PS: Gracing this assignment was the 1655-1660 oil painting by Jan Vermeer, Officer and Laughing Girl.)
David Weinstock
LAST WEEK'S WRITING ASSIGNMENT/SUGGESTION/EXERCISE:
ASSIGNMENT: JUST-SO STORIES, or, HOW THINGS GOT THIS WAY.
The oldest stories we know are an attempt to explain how the world got the way it is. Genesis contains several stories of creation, including a flood story that may have come from earlier Babylonian sources.
Kipling wrote his whimsical Just-So stories about How the Elephant Got His Trunk, and How the Camel Got His Hump.
WRITE ONE YOURSELF: Take something, anything, about the world, or your life, and write a poem or story that tells how things got that way. Feel free to remember, feel free to invent.
HINT: Keep the poem free of apologies, winks, or other tip-offs that you don't really mean it, because you do.
Don't miss this very important event! (. . . nor the reading listed immediately after this one!)
Please note the change of time for this event (from a 7:00 start, to 7:30)
Wed, Mar 11: Hoehl Welcome Center, St. Michael's College, Colchester, 7:30 p.m – 9:00 p.m. John Engels Memorial Reading. In memory of longtime English Department member (and Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet), John Engels (1931-2007) the Department has established an annual poetry reading. Poet, novelist and essayist David Huddle will give this year's reading. The first reading, in 2008, featured former Vermont Poet Laureate Ellen Bryant Voigt. The English Department Reading Series invites poets, fiction writers, theater troupes, filmmakers, and the like to campus to give readings, talks, performances, screenings etc. In the last few years for example, they've hosted the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express, novelists including Julia Alvarez, Russell Banks, and Pulitzer-Prize winner E. Annie Proulx, and poets including Pulitzer-Prize winner Louise Gluck, Chase Twitchell, Joy Harjo, and Galway Kinnell. Students are invited to these events, free of charge, and often have the chance to meet and talk to those visitors. Sponsored by the Lecture Series.
Vermont had a few losses in 2007 and 2008, which were also losses to the entire poetry community. John Engels, a professor for 45 years at St. Michael's College, was one of those great losses. For those of you lucky enough to have clutched a copy for yourself and read through "Remembering John Engels," you will believe yourself a friend of John's, as an admirer of his words. I feel fortunate to have been been both a poet friend of his, as well as a friend of the stream, both of us maintaining a love of fly fishing and fly tying. If you want to connect or reconnect with John Engels, I would invite you to come to this event, which is sure to be one of those incredible poetry moments.
Directions: FROM EXIT 15, INTERSTATE 89:
Main Entrance – Hoehl Welcome Center

Seeing this, you should be able to ascertain the correct location of the building for the reading. See you there!
Tony Hoagland coming to Vermont this Friday!!!
Thu, Feb 26: Arlington Memorial High School, Mack Performing Arts Center, 7:00 p.m. Poet Tony Hoagland. Tony will be reading from his book, "What Narcissism Means to Me." The event is free and open to the community. On Friday, February 27, Hoagland will meet with students in the AMHS Poetry class to share stories of his life's work. A professor at the University of Houston, Hoagland's published works include A Change in Plans, Talking to Stay Warm, History of Desire, Sweet Ruin, Donkey Gospel and What Narcissism Means to Me, which was a finalist for the National Books Critics Circle Award. Hoagland has said that "if I were going to place myself on some aesthetic graph, my dot would be equidistant between Sharon Olds and Frank O'Hara, between confessional (where I started) and the social (where I have aimed myself)." Hoagland is the recipient of the Poetry Foundation's 2005 Mark Twain Award in recognition of his contribution to humor in American poetry. The Poetry Foundations' Stephen Young says of Hoagland's writings, "There is nothing escapist or diversionary about Tony Hoagland's poetry. Here's misery, death, envy, hypocrisy, and vanity. But the still sad music of humanity is played with such a light touch on an instrument so sympathetically tuned that one can't help but laugh. Wit and morality rarely consort these days; it's good to see them happily, often hilariously reunited in this winner's poetry." Arlington Poetry and English teacher Hank Barthel invited Hoagland to speak. "Tony Hoagland's poetry speaks to young and old alike. I heard him speak at the Dodge Poetry Festival, and knew he would bring to AMHS an excitement and attitude that the community can appreciate." The recipient of two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and a fellowship to the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, Hoagland has received numerous accolades for his work including the 2008 Jackson poetry Prize, James Laughlin Award, Brittingham Prize in Poetry and O.B. Hardison, Jr. Poetry Prize, recognizing a poet's contribution to teaching as well as to his art. His Poems and critical writings have appeared in such publications as Poetry Magazine, Ploughshares, Threepenny Review, American Poetry Review and Harvard Review. For more information about Hoagland's poetry reading, contact Hank Barthel at barthelh@bvsu.org or 375-2589.
New Vermont Lit Journal
The Queen City Review
Burlington College's Queen City Review, whose inaugural issue is labeled as Fall 2008, is a true Vermont gem, as much as is our fall foliage, or a scoop of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey. The founding editor, Heidi Berkowitz, who teaches in the college's Interdisciplinary Studies program and coordinates its writing center, sent me three complementary copies, and I cherish each one. Dartmouth lecturer Kevin McCarthy, who oversees the poetry, has gone out of his way to make ensure there are no loose gems in this first collection. The familiar names, or at least they should be familiar to anyone who follows poetry closely, ring out clearly: poetry slam champ Geof Hewitt, fast-rising star Oregonian Matthew Dickman (he was just declared the winner of the 2009 Kate Tufts Discovery Award for his first book All-American Poem, which also won the APR/Honikman First Book Prize, and the inaugural awarding of the May Sarton Award from the American Academy of Arts & Sciences), and several others, including some nice surprises. Between the lovely color cover, drawn by Aaron Mitton, and its last many brief bios, is a collection that will keep you entertained to the point of energizing you to submit your best unpublished work to them, or pick up your writer's journal and get to it! This is a lit journal that I will be glad to share with my close fellow poets, but one they will grudgingly give back to me.
The Queen City Review is a yearly journal of art and literature and accepts the work of new and established writers and artists in the areas of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, memoir, photography, and fine art, as well as essays and criticism on all aspects of the aforementioned. They seek to publish high quality work that ranges broadly in topic and genre.
All submissions and queries should be emailed to:queencityreview@burlington.edu by April 20, 2009.
Their submission period is rolling and accepted writers and artists will be notified by email. All submissions must be in English, formatted in WORD or RTF, and previously unpublished. Please submit no more than three poems at a time, fiction and screenplays under 5000 words, and photography and artwork in JPEG format. Simultaneous submissions are also acceptable as long as they are notified immediately if the manuscript or artwork is accepted for publication elsewhere. Be sure to include phone, address, and e-mail contact information.
The Fall 2008 issue is on sale now. The 2009 issue is slated to come out in early autumn.

What one reviewer said about A Gathering of Poets:

Vermont's striking landscape permeates many of the poems and creates a frame for insightful questions about the paradoxical nature of our lives, here and else- where. With a great range of subject and technique, they do what poetry does best: they help me see the exquisiteness of everyday things."

"Picture That Poem," multi-media show examining the relationship between visual imagery and poetry.
Main Floor Gallery, Studio Place Arts, Barre. Through February 28.
By Marc Awodey
The nexus of poetry and visual art encompasses more than vivid verbal imagery. "Picture That Poem," at Studio Place Arts in Barre, demonstrates how diverse and thought provoking the two arts' links can be.
SPA is known for strongly curated theme shows, and a great idea makes for a fascinating group exhibition. "Picture That Poem" is built on a fresh notion that gave artists plenty of room for creativity in addressing the call for entries, which requested visual art "utterances" and the poems that inspired them.

Most poets I know have some poems dedicated to the topic of the night sky. Being an amateur astronomer myself, I can't help but write about all the wonders I see through my telescopes. I happened across a very interesting poetry contest in Maine that some of you might want to explore further.
The Southworth Planetarium at the University of Southern Maine presents:
AMOR ET ASTRA: A Poetry Contest on the theme "Love and the Night Sky." Deadline April 1, 2009.
Love comes in many forms, and there are no restrictions – the love in the poem might be for a parent or a place, a friend or even for the sky itself. (Adult poets are asked to keep their poems PG-rated.) Prizes will be given in the following age categories: Grade 4 and younger; Grades 5 through 8; Grades 8 through 12; Adult. Winning poets will receive: An invitation to read publicly Friday, May 1, at "Beltane Fires," one of three annual poetry events held at the planetarium; a commemorative booklet of poetry from the contest. (By entering the contest, you agree to permit Southworth Planetarium to publish your work in this booklet.) How to enter: Each poet enter up to three poems. The entry fee, which benefits educational programs at the planetarium, is $2 per poem or three for $5. Poems will not be submitted for judging until the fee is received. All entry fees must be submitted by check or money order to the address below. Please indicate clearly name of the poet. Poets may submit work electronically to: starpoetry@branchbrookmedia.com in Word, Rich Text Format (RTF), plain text or in the body of an e-mail. Poets may also submit work on paper to: Poetry Contest, c/o Southworth Planetarium, P.O. Box 9300, Portland, ME 04104-9300. Questions, contact Planetarium Manager Edward Gleason, egleason@usm.maine.edu, Jane Raeburn, jane@janeraeburn.com.
New worker magazine article on John updike
POSTSCRIPT JOHN UPDIKE
by Adam Gopnik FEBRUARY 9, 2009
John Updike (1932-2009) once said that his first publication and nearly sixty-year-long relationship with this magazine was the great professional event of his life—no, he called it the ecstatic event of his professional life—and he never tired (for younger writers, it was inspiring to see how he never tired) of seeing his prose in Caslon type, his name for all those decades appended to, or, later, preambling, a story or a review in these pages. It was part of the great good luck of this magazine that he needed, or indulged, us, and that his appetites and ambitions matched the dreams of the editors…
The Great(ness) Game
By DAVID ORR
In October, John Ashbery became the first poet to have an edition of his works released by the Library of America in his own lifetime. That honor says a number of things about the state of contemporary poetry — some good, some not so good — but perhaps the most important and disturbing question it raises is this: What will we do when Ashbery and his generation are gone? Because for the first time since the early 19th century, American poetry may be about to run out of greatness…
THIS WEEK'S REVIEW
Poetry That Seizes the Heart and the Funny Bone in a Single Gasp: Adrian Blevins
David Orr's article in today's New York Times bemoans the lack of (identifiable) "Great Poets" in today's writing pantheon. It's worth reading; my husband Dave and I heard Donald Hall and Liam Rector say much the same thing a couple of years ago at Plymouth State University (NH). I don't buy the premise — I think that in 25 years, there will be a handful of today's poets that are consistently held up as the finest, deepest, most rewarding to read. But our vision of that time may be fuzzy…

Vermont Poem
It's winter in Vermont
and the gentle breezes blow
seventy miles an hour
at thirty-five blow;
Oh how I love Vermont
when the snow's up to your butt!
You take a breath of winter air
and your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
so I guess I'll hang around.
I could never leave Vermont

American Life in Poetry: Column 204
BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE, 2004-2006
Memories form around details the way a pearl forms around a grain of sand, and in this commemoration of an anniversary, Cecilia Woloch reaches back to grasp a few details that promise to bring a cherished memory forward, and succeeds in doing so. The poet lives and teaches in southern California.
Didn't I stand there once,
white-knuckled, gripping the just-lit taper,
swearing I'd never go back?
And hadn't you kissed the rain from my mouth?

KEEP PAST VERMONT POETS ALIVE! I'M SOLICITING YOUR HELP:
POETS OF VERMONT PAST AND PRESENT PROJECT
I'm looking for a copy of:

2) Poets and Poetry of Vermont, by Abby Maria Hemenway, 1858

If you think you can help, you probably can! Please contact me by replying to this newsletter.

US coalition killed 1,600 civilians in Raqqa offensive – Amnesty International
The US-led assault on the Syrian city of Raqqa in 2017 killed over 1,600 non-combatants, more than 10 times the coalition's own estimate, according to an investigation by Amnesty International and Airwars, a conflict monitor.
"Our conclusive finding after all this is that the US-led coalition's military offensive (US, UK and French forces) directly caused more than 1,600 civilian deaths in Raqqa," the groups said in a joint statement about their 18-month investigation.
Their results were published on a website entitled 'Rhetoric versus reality in the war on Raqqa'.
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) controlled Raqqa from 2014 to 2017, and "had turned the city into a death trap," with snipers and mines, said Amnesty's senior crisis response adviser, Donatella Rovera.
"Many of the [coalition's] air bombardments were inaccurate and tens of thousands of artillery strikes were indiscriminate, so it is no surprise they killed and injured many hundreds of civilians," she said.
The US-led coalition previously described its siege on Raqqa, which lasted five months, as the "most precise air campaign in history," and in a recent statement acknowledged that it killed 1,291 civilians for all operations in Syria and Iraq, between 2014 and 2019.
The official figure is well below what Amnesty and Airwars estimate for the single operation in Raqqa, while Airwars, in a separate study, estimated the true overall total could be as high as 28,000 civilian fatalities.
The groups documented probable violations of international humanitarian law in some cases, and called for the creation of a fund to compensate the families of the victims, as well as better accounting of civilian casualties.
"The Coalition needs to fully investigate what went wrong at Raqqa and learn from those lessons, to prevent inflicting such tremendous suffering on civilians caught in future military operations," said Airwars director Chris Woods.
Raqqa for three years served as Islamic State's de facto capital city. In both Raqqa and Mosul – the group's hub in Iraq – protracted, bloody siege campaigns were required to dislodge the militants from their strongholds. Both cities were nearly flattened in the operations.
For more than a year after the coalition's operation concluded, residents of Raqqa were left to pick up the pieces, repairing the city's bombed out structures and extracting the remains of the dead from the rubble.
"In [these graves] there are people of all confessions," pathologist and first response worker Asaad al-Mashudj, told RT Arabic last year, describing the aftermath of the operation. "Militants, civilians, children, the elderly… They were from all parts of society. Some of them were killed in the fighting, some – from the airstrikes. Others were killed by snipers. All causes of death can be found here."

Hip Hop can draw its genesis back to the early 1970s and New York Street emcees- a genre exemplified by funk and soul rhythms superimposed with intense drumbeats. Ever since its origin, Hip Hop has become a platform of turn of phrase for the young all across the globe, amalgamating culture and modernity in a blend of movements. Having become a universal cultural phenomenon, it spreads good vibes and it has become a platform for artists to express their politics, their dance and their lives.
Hip hop conventionally refers to four main art forms: MC-ing, or rapping, DJ-ing, dancing and graffiti. Street Dance or hip hop dance, as it survives today, stems from the original and varied movement styles which began to develop independently, but at the same time, on the east and west coasts of America. In New York, 'breaking' and 'up rocking' emerged. Meantime,'popping' and 'locking' came into being in Los Angeles.
Hip Hop has two kinds namely East coast Hip Hop and West coast Hip Hop and mixing it up i.e. as time passed all four dance styles of hip hop got spread and mixed.
The dance style primarily associated with hip hop is breaking, which appeared in New York City during the early 1970s and truly became a cornerstone of hip hop as a culture. Funk dance styles, such as popping and locking, evolved separately in California in the 1960-70s,but were also integrated into hip hop when the culture reached the West Coast of the United States.
Hip-Hop Dancing in the Present!
In today's mores, Hip Hop dance has become the norm and can be heard ubiquitously from the outskirts to the urban ghetto. Emphasizing on groove, strength and precision the dance has waving like the electric wave to waggle the body.

#RantOn
Michael Chirco / Where's The Party Downey?
"The drive to our destination seemed like forever on a Saturday night," said violist Blanca Ornelas," my family and I finally arrived at our destination. There was another car that arrived behind us. It was a car full of men I did not know. The men exited their car. We stood there looking at each other." Thus began my interview with Ornelas as she recalled her earliest memory of her fathers' Mariachi band. "I noticed they were dressed like my dad. In weird shiny perfectly ironed fitted pants, fluffy shirts, and huge hats. They all reached into the trunk of their car and pulled out long suitcase-looking boxes."
"I remember there were people everywhere, and yet it was so quiet. Children just stared at us instead of playing," Ornelas recalled. "We walked toward the crowd and they began to clap. Everyone followed us behind the house into an area with a large cement floor and my dad and the men opened their boxes. They each removed a musical instrument, stood tall next to each other, and started to play. I was mesmerized!"
She thought about that night for the rest of the summer. Ornelas would pretend to be a musician herself, mimicking the many different instruments, singing in Spanish, and dancing around the kitchen table.
When school started up again in the fall of 1994 at Elizabeth Hudson Elementary in Long Beach, Ornelas remembers getting on the bus that picked her up to whisk her away to start third grade. "I noticed one of my friends was carrying a long suitcase kind of box. I was intrigued," said Ornelas, "I asked her what was in the box, and she said a Violin. Her parents had bought it for her so that she could learn to play. I asked if she could open it and show me. She opened the case, took out the violin, took out her bow, and she played a little scale she was working on." This was when Ornelas fell in love with the violin.
It grabbed her attention, "I was amazed by it. My dad picked me up after school that day and I remember telling him that I wanted to play the violin. He was so happy and excited to know that his daughter would follow in his musical footsteps. It must have been such a great feeling for him." Ornelas recalled that she and her father did not go straight home; instead, they went to look for a Violin. Her very first violin came from a pawn shop, "I was happy, it was perfect, and I couldn't wait to learn how to play!"
COATL will be in performance at The Epic Lounge on October 22, 2019
The first violin lesson did not go as she had thought calling it 'very difficult.' Positioning, learning how to hold the violin and bow correctly, "Can we play already?" she kept asking the instructor. "You need to hold the violin and bow properly first" was his response.
Upon her return home, her father had asked what she learned, "I was getting discouraged because we weren't playing anything yet."
After learning how to properly hold the violin and bow, 'finally, we were playing!' she thought, but nope, her teacher began instruction on music theory. That to her was like a different language and she found it intimidating, "Eventually I understood everything and to this day, music theory never fails to amaze me." Finally, after her third lesson, she was able to play, they learned major scales, and her first piece was 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'.
She was addicted! Ornelas learned to play more pieces. After elementary school, she continued to play the violin in orchestras, participating in middle school, high school, and college.
Now after 25 years, she is just as in love with the violin as she was so long ago, "I still love the violin, it is part of my life ~ it is part of me. I am now the Violinist of my own Mariachi band … a Mariachi heavy metal band!"

It is well established that electrical methods, such as the application of a high-density (10(10)-10(11) A m(-2)) current, can be employed for the switching of magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films and hetero-structures after their patterning at the nanoscale. We find that magnetization is robustly switchable, i.e., at macroscopic scales (up to a few millimeters in lateral directions), in a single similar to 30 nm-thick layer of alpha-Fe upon discharging a capacitor through the sample. Interestingly, samples sputtered at enhanced base pressures (similar to 10(-6) mbar) exhibited much lower switching thresholds with no bias field, while their electrical conductivity is anomalously high ( higher than that in bulk of alpha-Fe). We argue that the observed enhancement of conduction relates to the mixed oxide/oxyhydroxide (FeO/FeOOH) layer formed naturally on the top of our alpha-Fe films. This provides an explanation for the magnetization switching upon discharging a capacitor in terms ...of the Oersted field generated by the discharge current. We analyze the ratio needed between the conductions of the FeO/FeOOH layer and the underlying alpha-Fe for the effective action of the Oersted field.

Q: How do I get git log --follow to respect --skip? When using git log --skip=1, when I use --follow, it seems to inhibit --skip=1.

*

*Why is this happening? Is this by design or a bug?

*Is there a way to prevent it from doing that?

A: It's not clear whether this is "bug" or "feature".
It's not true that --follow inhibits --skip.  The issue is more fundamental and has to do with the way git log works.
Like any Git command that traverses the commit graph, git log must walk the graph, one commit at a time.  It does so using a priority queue that can contain any number (including zero) of commits.
The priority queue simply holds the commit hash IDs.  When you run:
git log <arguments> <commit-specifier-A> <commit-specifier-B>

(e.g., git log master develop), Git translates the given commit-specifiers to hash IDs and enters all those hash IDs into the priority queue.  If you give no commit specifiers, Git looks up the hash ID of HEAD and puts that (single) commit hash into the priority queue.
The git log code now enters its main loop, which is:

*

*Remove the highest priority commit from the queue.

*Decide whether this commit is "interesting".  If so, show it (this part is fairly complicated).

*Using this commit, find its parent commit(s).  Using any modifiers specified on the command line (such as --no-walk or --first-parent), put the appropriate set of such parent hashes into the priority queue (provided they have not already been visited and/or are not already there).

*Repeat until the priority queue is empty.

The --skip operation affects step 2: if the skip count is nonzero, git log decrements the skip count and moves on to step 3, so that the commit does not get shown.  In effect, the commit is "uninteresting" (but the skip count decrements).  Once the skip count reaches zero, no commits are skipped: all go into the "is this commit interesting" test.
Additional log options, such as those for History Simplification or—the one you're concerned with here—the --follow option, also affect step 2, but only after the skip > 0 test: the commit is only interesting if it meets some criteria.
For --follow, the criterion (singular) is whether the (single) file path name that Git is checking is to be produced by a diff between the commit's parent and the commit.  This question is much easier to answer for ordinary (non-merge) commits, which have only one parent, than it is for merge commits.  However, the main point here is that the "show or skip this commit based on --follow" test occurs after the test-and-decrement of the skip count, rather than before it.
If "test and decrement skip count" test applied after the "is this commit interesting" test, it would behave the way I think you want.  But it doesn't, so it doesn't.  For those who want --skip to count commits rather than interesting commits, this is a feature.  For those who want --skip to count interesting commits rather than commits, this is a bug.
