Some notes from Alice Notley (Naropa 2008)
Inventing the Story Workshop
Long poem has to keep reproducing itself
Access the obscure sound inside you, creating a set up to continue
if you have a grid, you create a form and the words come out of you
where language comes up to meet the form
sound as magical incantation
internalized the translation rather than the form
what you try to do when you write a long poem is win
what set of cultural materials do you relate to
tell all my stories but tell them again
where you write out of--be straight, not literary
you can never make a form that isn't you
keep telling the story if you have the line
analyze the frame around sound
how people are used and how they have to die
what stories are under cover
what can you tell in great detail about your city
