Lorraine Chamberlain Looking for original drawings by S. Clay Wilson

I am in a mad search for the owner(s) of three drawings by Wilson for the curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in LA. They would like to include the originals in a big exhibition next year. It's not an Underground Comics show, but a contemporary artists exhibit. I would love for Wilson to be in this impressive show. I have posted the images on http://www.sclaywilsontrust.com/ , and my Facebook page, but am at a loss to find them so far. Who knows where they are by now, as they were from 1979-1981. Wilson can't remember anything and kept no records.
If anyone knows who owns the originals of these three black white drawings, please contact me (including in the subject line "Drawings"), or the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in LA! Thanks!

Interzone report of July-August 2010

Hi all,
August 2nd was the 13th anniversary of Bill Burroughs' death and August 10th , the 13th anniversary of Interzone start. So here we are and here we go again ! About the activities of all those years, see the front page of the site Interzone Report https://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/ which contains the links to the reports since August 1997. I dedicate this report specially to James Grauerholz.
As you can state reading it, this summer has been busy on the Zone's side. i cnnot include all the info gathered during those two months in the blog Interzone news : see at http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/ for the details and extra info.
William Burroughs, Charles Plymell and James Grauerholz.
A benefit for S. Clay Wilson :
medical expenses are beyond his ability to pay and have made him and his family paupers. I’d like your help to raise money for S. Clay Wilson’s medical expenses. S. Clay Wilson is a major figure in American comics, a founder of the underground comix movement." David Chelsea

Farewell to Harvey Pekar and Herman Leonard:
Herman Leonard, icon photographer of Jazz scenes, has died at the age of 87 on August 14th in Los Angeles. He was famous for his "smoky," backlighted B and W photos of Jazz greats like Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. Over 60,000 of his negatives are stored at the Ogdon Museun. He returned to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and was featured in the 2005 BBC Sundance Documentary “Saving Jazz," and was featured in the 2006 BBC documetnary "Saving Jazz."

"Pekar-Crumb, une épopée des petites vies"
Harvey Pekar, scénarist of «American Splendor», passed away on July 12th 2010.
See in Mediapart the article "Pekar-Crumb, une épopée des petites vies" by Vincent Truffy at http://www.mediapart.fr/journal/culture-idees/270810/pekar-crumb-une-epopee-des-petites-vies

The book "Harv & Bob", scenario by Harvey Pekar, drawings by Robert Crumb, has just been published at the editions Cornelius.
 
Literature
The Time of the Naguals on line:
I have received from the Bibliothèque nationale de France the number of dépôt légal for "Le Temps ds Naguals - Autour de Burroughs et Gysin", so all the formalities of publishing are done for this book. I have put the pdf on line last month at http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNFR.pdf
The tome "Around Burroughs and Gysin" on line at www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNAroundB&G.pdf has been updated: Paul O'Donovan's illustrations have been added.
The tome of Reseach at www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN2research.pdf will be updated as well as more on the dreamachine will be added.
For the rest of the anthology, I suggest that we use another technic: rather working on one tome at a time, due to the number of the tomes to end, I suggest that I put them on line as they are at the moment, (they are already in pdf) so people who wrote in them can send the modifications to make, otherwise it will take some decades for the whole anthology to be ready, and we have been at it since 12 or 13 years now.
Any suggestion welcome.
Alain and Jean presented their new book, "Papy Beat Generation" , Editions Hors Sujet, in Rochefort sur Loire.
A beatiful day, and a very nice meeting.

"The Poetry Bomb is a former U.S. military practice bomb. The artifact will be completely converted into a beautiful object filled with poetry from around the world. When finished, it will have a primo paint job just as if it were a classic car, complete with pin-striping. It will also have a window or portal that will open and close making it possible to not only see inside of the piece, but to take poems out at performances to read out loud, and to add future submissions. Once converted, I will take The Poetry Bomb on tour across the United States, and then, who knows? Plan on beginning the tour in late April of 2010." S.A. Griffin

THE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY 2010
http://www.nationaltabboulehday.com/
Since 2001, a yearly national day, celebrated the first Saturday of the month of July (this year the 3rd of July, 2010), is dedicated to TABBOULEH.
During this day, Lebanese and their friends everywhere in the world meet in private or in public around this king of the mezzé. This artistic, cultural, gastronomic and touristy feast presents them an opportunity to show and to reinforce their attachment to their country. In 2007, the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism granted its approval and its patronage officially for the NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY.
Many events will take place all over the world! wherever there are Lebanese and friends. In downtown Beirut, for example, a big public gathering is organized at Souk el Tayeb in Saifi Village, where savoring and competitions of the best TABBOULEH will take place (www.soukeltayeb.com).
Let's celebrate all together the next NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY that will take place on Saturday July 3, 2010. How? Here are some suggested ways:
In July 3, 2010
- Think about Tabbouleh
- Or do Tabbouleh alone or with friends
- Or do a public Tabbouleh event on your way
While doing so, know that you’re sharing these moments with all the others.
I all cases please take photos and share them on facebook for example. You can also send them to contact@nationaltabboulehday.com so we can publish them on the Website www.nationaltabboulehday.com and/or facebook…
Happy Tabbouleh Day!!!!!

Richard Krech: "Playing the Game" from S.A. Griffin’s “POETRY BOMB” 2010

The Great Game

they called it
in the last years of the 19th Century.


The “Fin de Siecle” time
when the sun never set
on the British Empire,
the fierce Waziristan of Rudyard Kipling
at the center of the “Game”
the center
of the struggle between
Russia and Great Britain.

Lord Durand drew a line
along a map delineating
British India from Afghanistan.

Drew a line thru tribal areas
controlled by the tribes and jirgas
since Alexander.

Drew a line oblivious to the blood
and flag and language ties
on either side
of his scribbles on a map
in London
half a world away.

Mortimer Durand’s arbitrary line
created the no-man’s land
between the tectonic plates
of Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent
where al Qaeda - the base - still thrives.

Irredentist warriors
from the 10th Century
nurtured by the arrogance
of game players
sipping tea in the parlor
in honor of the Queen

The Poetry Bomb - Project by S.A. Griffin

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1768073198/the-poetry-bomb

The Poetry Bomb is a former U.S. military practice bomb. The artifact will be completely converted into a beautiful object filled with poetry from around the world. When finished, it will have a primo paint job just as if it were a classic car, complete with pin-striping. It will also have a window or portal that will open and close making it possible to not only see inside of the piece, but to take poems out at performances to read out loud, and to add future submissions. Once converted, I will take The Poetry Bomb on tour across the United States, and then, who knows? Plan on beginning the tour in late April of 2010.


I am soliciting funds not only to create The Poetry Bomb, but also, to then take The Poetry Bomb on tour.

Everyone who contributes anything at all will be listed as a participant in the project as a part of The Bomb Squad on Facebook and in any subsequent documentation.

You can follow the progress of the project, help spread the word and get more specifics about submissions (everyone is welcome, everyone!) at the Facebook fan page, "The Poetry Bomb". Please, SUBMIT TO THE BOMB!

(*The short presentation film, "THE POETRY BOMB" is by Christopher Lockett, that's his music in the background too. Thanks Chris!)

Project location: Los Angeles, CA

SIGN OF THE TIMES by AD Winans

SIGN OF THE TIMES

By AD Winans

Market Street once
The queen of the city
Now a gaudy whore
Worn with time

I pass the Hamburger Palace
The home of the ninety-nine cent burger
Its doors closed down
Its windows streaked with grime

Inside streaks of mustard and ketchup
On the counter
A crushed soft drink cup
Lies in dirt
A paper napkin floating ghost like
In the wind

THEY TOO MAY EMBRACE THE RATTLESNAKE by Charles Plymell

THEY TOO MAY EMBRACE THE RATTLESNAKE
By Charles  Plymell

"The Time of Nobody and Nothing has come."
----Elliott Coleman


I know the shipwreck is out there & spacesuit above the sunflower
But I have no god to pray to before the deep dark sleep takes over
There might be a hologram at the edge of space indeed to hold
Old captains afraid to sail beyond the seas tangled in the ropes

I have only chance to pray to and long for the bodies in my bed
Displayed in desperation on the screen flickering cooperations
That have claimed like figurines my possibilities & weary dream
Nothingness has ever been more profound to the boy on a bike

Peddling into unknown possibilities all over and again each day
Oblivious to the eternal connection of love beyond the playmate
Carrying in him the basic traits of human politics and a history
Of cheating, lying, stealing all tattooed once more in the years

To come clinging like lichen to the seawreck'd hope of shore
If only displayed in artificial form as parasite, vamp, old whore
I've climbed that rigging and never fell but to the hype & prize

I've held on to the wheel alongside the road of progress like
The grass, the weeds always half beaten down & sorrowful
Dandelion pride under the feet of those who walk unawares.
