Hi Alan,

You wrote:
 thanks, i was thinking of asking if you'd want the portrait of secret
fluxus
 stuff for fluxlist.com - seems more appropriate there.

I will sort this out and other fluxlist.com stuff in a couple of weeks as
I'm off to Japan tomorrow for a short break.

In the meantime it would be a good idea to try and list all the projects
done over the years. I'm also happy to host Crispin's fluxlist stuff since
his server seems temperamental also.

cheers,

Sol.

Dear Redd:
which edition?
i just boyugth two weeks ago the french edition for three dollars--Tzara certainly had many interrelationshsips with Buddhism--
(later the Surealists even had open letter to Dalai Lama--)
Hugo Bal and Emmy Hennnigs--left dada for the Catholic Churck then monsastic life
and Arp had his own forms of mysticism--Arp is also a very good Dada poet--he and Scwhitters both did astonsihing things with words using them like colros of paint and wooden orother objects palced into assemblages or arrangements--those wonderful chance ones that Arp did--
oe al the Dadas, Tzara was the one most limited to writing, i mean he focused on that and also publicity--went to Paris which best place for that (as Marinetti had done ealrier for Italain Futurism)--
Tzara participated in the death of Dada--when it became the journal LITERATURE--
Johannes Baader and others in Berlin --staged the resurrection of Christ as a balloon event--!
i am happy and excited for you you found the book Reed! i wil get down to read theone i have is a slim volume--i found it with a little volume of Artaud's early poems--and one by Max Jacob, cubist poetry!
thank you Reed!

FLUXLIST: Zen and Dada in Japan: Shinkichi Takahashi/Dada-Beat

2005-02-09 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot
The great Zen teacher and poet Shinkichi Takashashi when he first began writing poetry in the 1920's wrote dada poetry.
Recently a new edition of his works appeared in English, but not with the Dada works.
Another poet, whose name i wil write tomorrow --also a dada poet at trhe start of his career--but not a Zen person or poet--
Takahashi is one of the most truly original poets --he is also included in a fairly large selection in the penguin Modern Japanese Poetry
highly recommended!
i wil send info re theother poet, i at moment forget his name, is in the green integer series
howling at the Moon and other poems--
sonmeof the Beat orgians are also connected with dada in the figure of carl Solomon--to whom HOWL is dedicated--
he even said at one point that Ginsberg had deserted the true Spirit of dada and that his name would henceforth be Vasco Fiasco!
Solomn was veyr influenced by dada and had seen/heard Artaud give famous reading in Paris
i would also recommend his books--

Unless your making webpages with xhtml  css in which case Netscape is 
really unpredictable tho other mozilla browsers like Firefox do fine.
