“Let’s go out together,” La Maga said. “Look, Rocamadour is asleep, he’ll be quiet until it’s time for his bottle. We’ve got two hours, let’s go to that cafe in the Arab quarter, that sad little cafe where we feel so good.” But Oliveira wanted to go out alone. Slowly he began to extract his legs from La Maga’s embrace. He stroked her head, he ran his fingers around her neck, he kissed the back of it, he kissed her behind an ear, listening to her cry as her hair hung down over her face. “No blackmail,” he thought. “Let’s cry face to face, but not with that cheap sob you pick up from the movies.” He raised her face up, he made her look at him.”

UPCOMING EVENT: THE ENCLAVE XV: THE FESTIVAL OF THE MESS


FEATURING MOLLY ROSEN & DORTHEA LASKY

Saturday, September 27th @ 4 PM
Kenny's Castaways, 157 Bleecker Street, 212-979-9762

MOLLY ROSEN's novel "She's Dead I'm Not I'm Yours" will be published by Grove/Black Cat in the Fall of '09.

DOROTHEA LASKY is the author of AWE (Wave Books, 2007). Currently, she studies creativity at the University of Pennsylvania.

"What I am saying does not mean that there will henceforth be no form in art. It only means that there will be a new form, and that this form will be of such a type that it admits the chaos and does not try to say that the chaos is really something else. The forms and the chaos remain separate. The later is not reduced to the former. That is why the form itself becomes a preoccupation, because it exists as a problem separate form the material it accommodates. To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now."

We're Back

Have you missed us? Well we've missed you. The good news is we just got off the road yesterday and are planning out a fall roster that should be one of our most impressive ones ever. We will announce our writers shortly, but right now our tentative dates are 9/27, 10/25, 11/22, & 12/13. Check back here for a finalized shortly. Also if anyone out there in cyberspace has a writer in mind who you're dying to see, drop us a line @ enclavianmatter@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't make that happen. Hope everyone had a groovy summer. We'll be back in touch soon.

UPCOMING READING: THE ENCLAVE XIV: THE FESTIVAL OF FAMED FABLES

FEATURING: FRANK SHERLOCK, YEW LEONG LEE & BRANDON HOLMQUEST

Saturday, May 31st 3:30 PM
Kenny's Castaways, 157 Bleecker Street, 212-979-9762
For updates and more info go to: www.myspace.com/enclavianmatter
Free and open to the public

FRANK SHERLOCK is the co-author of the newly released Ready-to-Eat Individual with Brett Evans. Publisher Bill Lavender says, "In New Orleans, USA, during the Year 1 A.K. (After Katrina), Frank Sherlock & Brett Evans sifted through the ration fossils to put words where the food used to be. The latest development resulted in a poem that is a State-of-the-City and post-apocalyptic journal, sealed by a retort pouch and blocked from future contamination. The resulting taste and texture are much more realistic and natural than those normal dehydrated and freeze dried histories."

YEW LEONG LEE is a Singaporean writer currently living in the States. He has an MFA in Creative Writing from the New School. His novella, "Gross Domestic Happiness," won the 2003 James Assatly Memorial Prize for Fiction at Brown University. His nonfiction has appeared in the Lives column of The New York Times Magazine, his fiction in the Spring 2008 issue of H.O.W. Journal and Chaise Magazine, and his poetry in Journeys: Words, Home, and Nation: An anthology of Singapore Poetry.

BRANDON HOLMQUEST is the editor of the literary translations journal Calque. He lives in New York City.

“And I shall resemble the wretches famed in fable, crushed beneath the weight of their wish to come true. And I even feel a strange desire come over me, the desire to know what I am doing, and why. So near the goal I set myself in my young days and which prevented me from living. And on the threshold of being no more I succeed in being another. Very pretty.” - ???????
