Sue à Berlin

International audienceUne succession de et une interaction entre plusieurs rôles, dont on pourrait aussi dire qu’ils ont été créés pour la scène. Ce que Sue à Berlin met en avant : l’importance capitale du théâtre ou de certains aspects du théâtre dans la poésie – dans n’importe quel poème. La poésie de Carla Harryman est théâtre, simultanément. Un échange entre des voix provenant de différents rôles. Un rassemblement de voix. Comme des fleurs dans un bouquet. Un échange entre des voix provenant de personnes différentes

Sue in Berlin

International audienceA succession of and an interaction in between several pieces, that could also be said as designed for the stage. What Sue in Berlin puts to the fore: The paramount importance of theater or some aspects of theater within poetry—Within any poem. Harryman’s poetry is theater, at once. An exchange between voices coming from different parts. A gathering of voices. As of flowers in a bunch of flowers. An exchange between voices coming from different people

Artifact of hope: From letters not about hope

Artifact of Hope is an epistolary essay combined with the documentary remains of a post-Occupy project, one beginning in a wish to situate a collective dialogue in creative readings of Ernst Bloch’s The Principle of Hope. The artifacts that comprise the majority of the essay take the form of daydreams, letters to students, a conference paper, citations, and various writings by those who attended Harryman’s workshops and seminars at the Oakland Public School in 2013 and, two-years later, at the Pratt Institute. Harryman views these venues as aspects of concrete utopias, however fragile and impermanent. Her essay resonates with but does not necessarily adhere to Bloch’s process-oriented Marxism. Key to Harryman’s ambivalent hope-thinking is Jackson Mac Low’s “Some Ways Philosophy Helped Shape My Work,” as his insights into the poet’s potential, or productive misreadings of philosophy, align with the author’s feminist poetics and skepticisms
