Poetics Talks

instead of say, the Beats, and, here in Australia, John Tranter’s fabricated ‘generation of 68', or New York school or Language poetry, post graduate and undergraduate poetry writing students and beginners are reading Romantic and Victorian poetry again? Certainly a lot of pre-1950s poetry seems to be emulated by the younger generation here. Abounding as it is, not all of it lifts off. Kris Hemensley called these poets "exponents of a fastidiously constructed and polished lyricism current now in new Australian poetry."

Kenneth Slessor prize for poetry in the 2009 New South Wales premier's literary awards:
XYZ’s book…. “is a wonderful example of the power of the lyric to
slow time down to intense, expanded moments of seeing and feeling.In measured poems of decorum and grace, XYZ weighs beauty against terror, art against the unspeakable, love against death. The exquisite music of these poems comes from a perfect mastery of form that is never content merely to deploy traditional templates like the sonnet or the sestina, but converts them into something that is contemporary, arresting and XYZ’s own.” - 20 more annotations...

Obres e trobes en lahors de la Verge Maria - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
-
Obres e trobes en lahors de la Verge María es un libro de singular importancia por ser la primera obra literaria impresa en España. Salió de las prensas de Lambert Palmart el 25 de marzo de 1474 en la ciudad de Valencia, se conserva en la biblioteca de la Universidad de Valencia
Esta obra fue impresa a raíz de que el virrey Lluís Despuig, para honrar a la Virgen, convocara el 11 de febrero de 1474 un certamen poético cuyo tema obligado era alabar a la Virgen María.
El encargado de organizar el certamen fue el poeta mossén Bernat Fenollar, persona relacionada con todos los círculos literarios que había en la ciudad.
Los poemas habían de constar de cinco estrofas, con dedicatoria y estribillo. Pero los trovadores (aún no se llamaba poetas a los que no escribían en latín) tenían libertad en cuanto al estilo y la lengua.

De la erótica de los libros antiguos

La iglesia, de hecho, nunca rechazó el invento -y eso se comprueba claramente en la implantación de las primeras imprentas y editoriales en las Universidades dominadas por la jerarquía eclesiástica-,
-
Las culturas del libro son aquellas, como la cristiana, la judía o la musulmana, que creen que de la lectura de un solo texto pueden desprenderse todas las enseñanzas necesarias para conducirse en la vida, y si el texto en sí mismo no resulta suficiente, se inventan profusas combinaciones cabalísticas o aritméticas esotéricas para encontrar un mensaje transcendente pretendidamente oculto.

Are these the final days for writer procrastination? | Books | guardian.co.uk
-
For those unfamiliar with standard procedure for publishing contracts, a book advance is usually split up into three parts, the first of which is handed over to the author upon the signature of the contract. According to tradition, the author takes the money, spends it recklessly on gin and loose women, and wakes up a couple of weeks later with a rotten hangover and the chilling realisation that he is not only now required to write a book, but to deliver it by a particular date. For many writers, who have devoted so many years to dreaming in little garrets/garden sheds/service industry jobs of being published, the reality of actually having to deliver a manuscript can be a terrifying prospect that promptly induces crippling writer's block.
The fact is - as everyone who works in publishing houses or literary agencies knows well, but doesn't advertise, perhaps because it's not the most efficient business practice - there are a surprisingly large number of contracts for unwritten books knocking about in dusty filing cabinets. Editors and authors agree on a book, and then ... well, maybe the author loses enthusiasm, or is distracted by another project or (as was the case of Misses Kim and Brown) goes to prison for a bit.

10) Why not use some of the ludicrous money paid in advances to celebrity (sure-fire sellers) to promote new writers.
11) Why not pool some of the Big Publishers' promotion budgets to promote reading, (market size) as opposed to individual books (market share).

Will free books get you hooked? | Jacket Copy | Los Angeles Times

There's also another option to free that authors and publishers should consider, and that's expanded sampling. At Smashwords, we publish about 100 (and growing) ebooks from independent authors, many of whom make free samples of 50% or more available to prospective readers. Smart authors and publishers realize that we're competing more for the reader's time and attention that we are for their wallet. If you can entice the reader to invest the time necessary to read half your book, odds are they'll open their wallet for the rest.
