Discourse And Method: Narrative Strategy In George Bowering's West Window
Discourse and Method Narrative Strategy in george bowering's West Window1. by Terry Whalen. back; george bowering, Allophanes, 1976; rpt.
http://www.arts.uwo.ca/canpoetry/cpjrn/vol22/whalen.htm

Extractions: Discourse and Method: Narrative Strategy in George Bowering's West Window by Terry Whalen If, as readers, we agree with Irving Layton that poetry is above all about freedom — or agree with Anton Chekhov that writing has got something to do with squeezing the serf out of our veins — we will want to remain alert to what Terry Eagleton calls the inevitable "link or nexus between discourses and power" . There is a primary way in which the structures of art carry with them a political bias that can work on our minds at an unconscious level, and many Postmodernist writers, for instance, stay alert to this fact. A great deal of Postmodernist writing even takes as its central aim the unwriting of Modernist literature since it sees such literature as bookish, elitist, conservative, and serving or advocating what Michel Foucault would call régime It is in part because George Bowering shares in this alert Postmodern ist awareness that he has become one of the more vocal Canadian advocates of writing as freedom, play, spontaneous occurrence, happening, process. He is an advocate of poetry as freedom from the "mind-forged garrison" , and as exemption from structured discourse, discourse that has intimate affinities with systems and régime.

Extractions: The Name of the Rose George Bowering's Allophanes is a poem in which "books speak of books." They speak "among themselves" as Bowering piles allusions upon puns upon parody upon numerous other tricks with words. The poem has no "theme" or narrative line. Like an illustration, its composition is its message. It does not contain a message: it is one. In the opening section of Allophanes Bowering describes "Dr. Babel" as he contends the universe. (p. 205) The poem seeks to recreate this "pleasure" and to show these "moving rings" and by so doing illustrate important beliefs which Bowering holds about language and literature. In The Long Poem Anthology Bowering sets out to explain Allophanes through the meaning of the title, but of course the explanation, like the poem itself, is a bit of a teaser. He tells us little, but instead challenges us to dig into the poem. He speaks of "voices" coming into his study to tell him things and says that "astute readers will recognize some of them."

Extractions: His own fascination with the subject began decades ago with streets and locations, many with exotic, unknown or forgotten origins, such as Gabriola and Galiano. During a lifetime of satisfying his own curiosity, he's found many gaps in the standard histories. Much of the best has been left out, including many great stories that have become his personal favorites.

Extractions: Raymond Gee, The Peak While driving up the mountain to SFU recently, I noticed that my former professor, George Bowering, was giving a reading the next day. How timely, I thought. Upon leaving the hill after hearing the great words of Sharon Thesen and George Bowering, I felt a little sad. I was recalling the years when I had the fortune to land in George's Canadian Literature course, an under-confident student fumbling my way through a class presentation of Warren Tallman's Wolf in the Snow. I want to speak briefly about some snapshots taken inside George's classroom. One time, when he was asked about Dadaism, he got up and walked out of the class. George also had a serious side which would become evident in his discussions of the many Canadian and American writers he presented in class. Oftentimes, during his "lectures" about the work of writers such as T.S. Eliot, H.D., Sheila Watson and Margaret Atwood-just to name a handful-you would see George remove his glasses and go into a line-by-line explanation of whatever was at hand. It was at those moments that I felt as if George was trying to remove the self-consciousness of being on stage as a performer, go into his thoughts, and not let his awareness of his audience interfere with the process. It was at those times that I felt most privileged to be on the inside, leaning on every syllable and intonation of his voice.

Letter - On George Bowering On Spoken Word
TDR Letter. Subject george bowering on spoken word. January 2003. DearMichael Bryson Reading your brief aside about the poet laureate
http://www.danforthreview.com/features/letters/bowering.htm

Extractions: In your comments of two weeks ago, it seemed to me that you were throwing down a gauntlet to the community of so-called spoken word artistsif an idiom like throwing down a gauntlet with all its noble history can be rightly applied to such crass and ignoble sentiments as those which you expressed. I am not a practitioner of spoken word (except insofar as I write verse and then read it to audiences), but the offensiveness of your slurs is by no means limited to those against whom they were directed. And so I pick up your dirty glove. Your comments, sir, were pedantic, pretentious, and hypocritical. One would think that someone like yourself, so well-known for his role in a supposedly grass-roots/speech-oriented movement (though I personally find such claims dubious), would be tolerant, if not encouraging of, a contemporary movement with similar goals. How far removed, after all, are the spoken word folks aims (to de-mystify and shake poetry from its academic stupor) from those of your own mentors (Olson and Creeley) in the 1950s? Your griping dismissal of their work as a whole (in sweepingly vague terms that testify to prejudice rather than actual first-hand experience) reveals that, like most would-be revolutionaries, now that your battles are won, you are only interested in maintaining your position as king of the dungheap, and will kick shit on any other kids who try to climb up.

Extractions: ECW Reviewed by T. Anders Carson This book is an autobiographical account of the musings and wanderings of Mr. Bowering. From the beginning you delve into the inner-workings of the Canadian poetry scene of late 50s and early 60s. I dont think they themselves realized that it was a scene. It was more a gathering, a meeting, and a sharing of new work. His life flows with the seasons. Every title has a season, year and place where it was written. An accounting of where he was and what he was writing. There are some that are striking images. One is Winter 1958 that ends: "And yesterday went with the ice." All of us know that feeling in Canada. He has captured the essence of the solitary. There are some stark images of home life later on. Where the silence grows in the kitchen. In the Fall of 1976 in Vancouver these words were written;
