Document Series #11 Nour Mobarak's Dafne Phono is an adaptation of the first opera, Dafne, composed and written by Jacopo Peri and Ottavio Rinuccini in 1598. Drawing on the myth of Daphne and Apollo from Ovid's Metamorphoses-a story of unrequited love, patriarchal possession, conquest, and transformation-Mobarak's multimedia and multispecies reimagining splinters the opera's Italian libretto. Alongside English and Greek versions, it is translated into some of the world's most phonetically complex languages-Abkhaz, San Juan Quiahije Eastern Chatino, Silbo Gomero, and !Xoon-and Ovid's original Latin. In this process, the narrative-and an artifact of Western culture-is dismantled, metabolized, and rendered into unruly utterances that shape the sensorium as much as they do the capacity for sense-making. These voices are given material form by a cast of mycelium sonic sculptures whose rhizomatic compositions and broadcasted recordings resemble the formation and mutation of language over time, reconstituting speech into a new, polyphonic body politic, composed of voices whose striking, poetic utterances transfix and transcend meaning. With a preface by the artist, libretti, and an essay by Anahid Nersessian. The book is released in tandem with an album, produced by Recital.

Passage Series #6In her debut book, Amelia Zhou poses the question, "How do I perform or not perform?" Weaving together poems, fiction, and lyric essay, Repose follows an unnamed woman grappling with the limits of the self on the everyday stage of labor and routine, charting her emergent modes of resistance. She is already steps ahead, deftly shifting between worker and dancer, roving through the haunted space in which a performance has just ended, the ruins of a house, or a skyscraper aflame. Seeking the edges of form-where it exceeds itself, where it breaks down-Repose offers a narrative of girlhood invigorated by the mutual possibilities of dreaming and defiance. Amelia Zhou's Repose is the 2022 Open Reading Period Book Prize winner, and was selected by guest judge Asiya Wadud.Amelia Zhou works with writing and movement, with an interest in exploring their various intersections as they arise in forms such as poetry, prose, or performance.

Nico Vela Page's Americón is a collection of poems in Spanglish that weaves a space for the queer, trans body to know the land, and itself, as extensions of each other. The land is the desert of Northern New Mexico, the forgotten Pan-American Highway, the space between our thighs, the quaking cordillera of Chile, the moans of elk, and the ripe fruit waiting to be picked. Through archive, attention, and erotic ecopoetics, Page's debut collection of poems extends far across the page, the gender binary, language, and the Americas to find out who we are by asking where we are. Nico Vela Page's Americón is the 2020 Open Reading Period Book Prize winner, and was selected by guest judge Renee Gladman.

A concept just short of a program, accountability has been taken up as a core principle within leftist organizing and activity over the past quarter century. While it invokes a particular vocabulary and set of procedures, it has also come to describe a more expansive, if often vague, approach to addressing harm within movement work. The term's sudden, widespread adoption as abolitionist concepts began to circulate broadly in recent years cast light on certain shifts in its meaning, renewing the urgency of understanding its relation to militant history and practice. After Accountability is an oral history and critical genealogy of this decisive movement concept that gathers interviews with eight transformative justice practitioners, socialist labor organizers, incarcerated abolitionists, and activists on the left conducted by members of the Pinko collective. An investigation into the theoretical foundations and current practice of accountability, this volume explores the term's potential and limits, discovering in it traces of the past half-century's struggles over the absence of community and the form revolutionary activity should take. ContributorsKim Diehl, Michelle Foy, Peter Hardie, Emi Kane and Hyejin Shim, Pilar Maschi, and Stevie Wilson, and Pinko collective members Lou Cornum, Max Fox, M. E. O'Brien, and Addison Vawters.

Toby Altman's Discipline Park documents the demolition of Prentice Women's Hospital in Chicago, a landmark of architectural brutalism designed by Bertrand Goldberg in the 1970s. Altman was born in the building, and years later, was employed by Northwestern University when they tore it down. His personal proximity to the site leads to a wider critical evaluation of the cruelty of a neoliberalism that asks us to draw sustenance from the very institutions that poison and erase our bodies, habitats, and histories. But, as it indicts the present and its claustrophobic, ruinous politics, Discipline Park also recovers or reinvents utopian vistas through an extended engagement with Goldberg's architectural practices. Toby Altman's Discipline Park is the 2020 Open Reading Period Editors' Pick. About the authorToby Altman is the author of Discipline Park (Wendy's Subway, 2023), and Arcadia, Indiana (Plays Inverse, 2017). He has received fellowships from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Study in the Fine Arts, MacDowell, and the National Endowment for the Arts. He holds a PhD in English Literature from Northwestern University and an MFA in Poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. His scholarly and creative work can be found in Contemporary Literature, English Literary History, Gulf Coast, jacket2, jubilat, and Lana Turner, among other journals and anthologies. He is currently Visiting Assistant Professor of English and Creative Writing at Beloit College. PraiseBrutalism is often remembered as a top-down type of building that no one ever wanted in the first place, but it was always more complicated than that. Toby Altman's Discipline Park untangles and re-tangles Brutalism's complications by digging into all that has been pushed into and projected on the surface of one particular building in Chicago. The imbrications between institutions and individuals...Sometimes it's easiest to see things when they're coming apart. -Alex KitnickToby Altman's Discipline Park brings autobiography, architectural theory, civic history, and an unsettled critique of whiteness to task as it tests the notion that human life is "a traveling wound, which inflicts itself on the landscape. " Do we take the shape of our environment, or do we shape it? When and how can this chain of relation end? I am struck by the piercingly distilled lines that pepper these pages like throwaway remarks, where another poet might have been satisfied to relish them. Instead, we are led to a halting closing essay that places its extended and difficult composition in plain sight. Discipline Park traces not so much a short, sharp cut but a distributed wound-a long, rough scrape that hurts in the foreground, sensitizes the border between self and world, and tests the integrity of surface itself. -Anna MoschovakisA poetry packed into tight rectangles and corridors that intersect and enjamb across pages, Discipline Park embraces the pillars and steel of the institutional structures meant not only to house us at our most vulnerable moments but also to serve as facilities to research and study us. It is a fascinating subject when handled so skillfully and with such profound understanding of how we are shaped by the places built to administer care when we are most vulnerable. -DA Powell
