Jesse Glass' Poetry and Prose

Jesse Glass' poetry plays up to our fascination with the investigatory impulse, where the reader and the writer (as detective) begins to discover new signifiers lurking beneath the text. In this sense, then, Glass is as much detective as he is a poet. He writes a poetry of extrication that invites re-reading. He is like the night attendant of his poem 'A/a', witness to the exhumation of William Blake: William Blake (November 28, 1757 – August 12, 1827) was an English poet, visionary, painter, and printmaker. ...

& when the bag was opened an old man wide

of forehead & naked as a babe tumbled upon

the dirty floor. because of the emaciated

condition of the body, and its age, the workers

were given 2 guineas for their efforts by

the night attendant. so one 'Wm. Blake'

came to the dissectionist's table. (Glass, A/a)

Central to the concepts of Glass' poetry is the notion that the modern printed text is representative, in a sense, of finality. The process of print offers a sense of closure and completeness; once a plate is prepared for production, it may no longer accommodate any changes. By contrast, Glass's poems are in dialogue with the world outside their typographic borders. Thus, in 'A/a', William Blake can be read as a specific temporality closed off from the 'outside world', finding its correlative in the closed nature of the printed text, the mass-produced book, etc. It follows then that the author plays the role of dissectionist, wonderfully relegated to the task of extricating meaning from both body and text.

In 'The Life & Death of Peter Stubbe' (Birch Brook Press, 1995), an historical-poetic document occasionally reliant on George Bore's contemporary translation of a 1590 trial transcript concerning Peter Stubbe, Glass illustrates the manner by which poetry determines its position in relation to other discourses. He appropriates the matter of the trial transcript ' text in the public domain ' and reorders it to fit his own inner vision ' a uniquely personal poetic. Glass approaches language like an artist approaches a canvas. Language then, like the tools of the artist, is common property ' only the raw material of art. Or, to use Glass's own metaphor ' a body to be plundered.

Thus, as a dissectionist, Glass seeks to mine a text, to use the painter Tom Phillips' words, to 'make it yield the ghosts of other possible stories, scenes, poems, erotic incidents and surrealist catastrophes which [seem] to lurk within the wall of words'. This dislocation of text yields new meaning. Whereas texts such as trial transcripts withhold facts from touch, Glass's poetry breaks down the distinction between subject and object. By liberating text from its confines Glass turns the reader from viewer into voyeur. And by placing the reader in the very moment, Glass transmits with overwhelming force a sense of simultaneity. Such an understanding of the moment replaced the semiotics of printed with a semiotics of 'being'. The transmutation of trial transcript into poem provides the words with an 'aesthetic tangibility' meant to outlast the 'ephemerality' of the printed page. Tom Phillips is the name of several people: Tom Phillips, artist Rear-Admiral Sir Tom Phillips of the Royal Navy Thomas L. Phillips, CEO of Raytheon, arms manufacturers This is a disambiguation page: a list of articles associated with the same title. ...

Take, for instance, Glass's aforementioned poem 'A/a'. In a key device of the poem, the noun '[cage]' is wrested from its position within the text, and placed in penultimate relationship to the very powerful concluding image: 'river the color of raw hands beneath the rain'. In this manner, the closed site of the text with its physical typography, ordered into lines, is imbued with colour. The author engages in a dialogue with the outside world, liberated by the dislocation of a key image. As in Delaunay's theory of simultaneity, the juxtaposition of colour (or in Glass's case, language) provides depth, and alters one's perception. Writes Skip Fox in his review of 'The Life & Death of Peter Stubbe' Glass "seeks to create a new poetic grammar befitting his intellect and vision . . . spelling out the protean relationships between poet, narrator, [and] reader". Delaunay may refer to: Delaunay-Belleville, a French luxury automobile Delaunay (crater), a lunar crater Delaunay triangulation Alcuin nó Delaunay, a fictional character Anafiel Delaunay, a fictional spymaster and poet Boris Delaunay (1890-1980), a Soviet/Russian mathematician Charles Delaunay (1911-1988), a French author and jazz expert Charles-Eug... Simultaneity is the property of two events happening at the same time in at least ONE Reference frame. ... Peter Stumpp (died 1589) or Peter Stubbe, was a German farmer and allegedly a serial killer and cannibal, also known as the Werewolf of Bedburg. ...

If, as the late William Bronk asserts 'Art isn't made, it's in the world almost / unseen but found existent there', Jesse Glass is as much a detective as a poet. As much a dissectionist as an artist. American poet, born 17 February 1918, died 22 February 1999. ...
