Review of "COUP DE DÉS (COLLECTION)"

[jhavelikes]

In Prehistoric Digital Poetry: An Archaeology of Forms, 1959-1995, C.T. Funkhouser remarks that the growing numbers of digital poets—and poetry readers—reflects a burgeoning interest in the expressive capabilities of computers, and the dynamic programs these computers utilize. For many poets, the expressive capabilities of computers and computer programs now play an integral role in the composition of poetry. Within contemporary visual poetics, these digital mediums now help artists create a thoroughfare for new nonlinear levels of textual exploration and fabrication and that could not otherwise exist without these mechanized vessels—vessels whose functionalities lie solely within the language of mathematics.

The 125th anniversary of the publication of Stéphane Mallarmé’s Un Coup de Dés Jamais N’Abolira le Hasard (1897) approaches, and Trevor Stark’s book is a welcome harbinger. Its title comes from Mallarmé’s essay/poem “The Book, Intellectual Instrument”:

The book, total expansion of the letter, should derive from it directly a spacious mobility, and by correspondences institute a play of…

Poème : “Au Tatoueur” (2011)

As with many of the homage to Un Coup de Dés, the subtitle here matters. For Bennequin, it was “Homage” with it missing “m” from the French; for Broodthaers, “Image”; for Engramer, “Wave”; for Pichler, “Sculpture” and “Musique”; for Zboya, “Translations”. Graham’s subtitle, being in quotation marks, indicates that what follows is a missive, not a form. The missive…
