Marcella Durand - Bernadette Mayer & Clark Coolidge (1181 words)
Coolidge and Mayer evidently shared a common "mission" in their writings to encompass consciousness, language and the intricacy of physical/scientific/geologic structures, and to cross whatever fake borders had been set up between genres, materials, or even words themselves.
At this point, the project stands as follows: I have found out that Mayer's letters from Coolidge are archived with the rest of her correspondence and papers at University of San Diego, while Coolidge's letters from Mayer are at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
It begins "Panama Rocks originated as sand and gravel beaches and bars, along the shore of an ancient inland ocean…" and it utilizes such tantalizing vocabulary and phrases as "pressure compaction" and "ocean quartz conglomerate," as well as mini-list poems of bird and tree species to be found in the area.
At Egypt - Clark Coolidge (237 words)
Coolidge's At Egypt is the first account from inside the factory during the process of being dis-assembled and put together into a recognizable but toally different shape.
It is hard to imagine a more generative writer than Clark Coolidge, nor one whose range and influence is more total.
At Egypt, a major poem in eleven sections, is a series of "gestures in rock," and like the leaving of stones on a desert--see Tanguy--marks time and place, a monument and an alphabet, monadic and nomadic.
