J. H. Prynne

[luka]

that is the first page of a new prynne and i think it is extraordinarily good. like the finest sushi. tweezered
into place

Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

registering an intensity. ginger-root, say, and at what level of the tincture it becomes possible. and how
the valence quavers at the margin, turbulence. and what the taste receptors recognise and how they bring into play memories
and everything that haunts the threshold

 

[luka]

it is a poem explicitly in dialogue with prediction tablet as you will have realised.

 

[Benny Bunter]

So it's about taste-response? (Like Wound Response)

What book is it? Is the whole book in this style/ on the same theme.

 

[Benny Bunter]

"Tricuspid" there he goes with his circulatory/respiratory system words again (remember that Alveolar Shunts poem we talked about?)

latency of the conditional. i read it today in westminster abbey, poets corner. price £27. (entrance, not the book)

information flows

 

[Benny Bunter]

I like how it ends with "intensity provoked" - I guess that's what gives you a way in to what it's about. On first look it's a lot like that Wound Response book, like you say, how he's registering bodily responses from input to output.

 

[Benny Bunter]

And yeah it does remind me of your stuff now you say it

yeah but not just bodily, also markets etc, cause and effect, the siphons information moves along etc

 

[luka]

how change happens. along what vectors. with what inertia.

 

[luka]

how the event is modulated in its transmission

 

[Benny Bunter]

Right, so it's tracing information flow or sequence, and also how the flows get blocked - 'pent up in pathway' - and surge, or become crystallised, reach limits, modulate and are adapted along the way. Sort of a tracing of the journey information undertakes between input and output.

 

[luka]

exactly, but also performing it in the way we receive the poem-signal

 

[luka]

this is why prynne is so much better than the french.

 

[Benny Bunter]

I don't know of anyone doing anything like what Prynne does in any language.

That analysis of Wound Response by Douglas Oliver in the new letters book is really really good on this, he properly gets what he's doing.

 

[luka]

there isnt anything. only me and that is in response obviously. then you have late prynne which is all a diagloue with me and the paths i mapped out.

 

[luka]

thats why its mystifying that only me and you understand it given we are by no means the smartest of cookies. we're both paste people. but dissensus clearly cant read.

 

[luka]

its sad that craner cant read. its a shame limburger is too lazy to read. gus isnt human enough.
