{"title":"the deciBels series 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the completion of the iconic Rare Objects series in 2014, the dB series was established to open the Vagabond list up and out to new voices and new forms in the years to come. Over the next few years, we will collaborate with guest editors to bring together sets of ten works. Form and genre are open and up to the editor, as is the design and format. We're interested in prose, essays, interviews, short films, soundscapes, collaborations, installations, translations, memoir, poetics, philosophical tracts, theatre scripts, photographic works, painting, sculpture, lithographs and on and on. Transnational, working across genres and forms, the deciBels is an experiment in publishing, aimed at taking us and our readers off on new vectors.

A small show of drawings, prints and paintings by Jasper Johns at the Museum of Modern Art titled Regrets made me curious to try that word as a title this past spring, and the term Pregrets – the fantasy or fact of getting ready to feel sorrow or distress, the attendant humors such a frame might provoke, the probability of not landing in the predetermined spot, the derangement of proposed memories – popped into place after awhile and eventually took over as the primary term to work under. As the process of writing these poems is on-going, I don’t have a further assessment to make of their makes, and don’t want to force one out just yet, out of fear of stopping the vehicle before it ends on its own terms. I can say that I’m relying heavily on what I consider internalized collagist wiring to make relatively quick decisions about what gets into the poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnselm Berrigan, \u003cem\u003ePregrets\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e44pp. 2014.

Originally, the prose poems were extracted from a manuscript that didn't work. Then, once the operating premise (writing poems incorporating memory that fit an index card or time card) was discovered, I wrote new ones. The first set was \u003cem\u003eMemory Cards\u003c\/em\u003e \u0026amp; \u003cem\u003eAdoption Papers \u003c\/em\u003efrom Potes \u0026amp; Poets Press, 2001. I have always been obsessed with memory—my own, others', and public history—so these cards provide a kinetic container for memory work of various kinds. They complement my other work, which concerns forgetting (Alzheimer's\/dementia).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSusan M.
