The Distance Between: poems by Julie Valin

The Distance Between: poems by Julie Valin

Julie Valin

Six Ft. Swells Press

The Distance Between reflects a woman balancing her own wild and reckless heart with the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood. It is both the drawing together and the completely falling apart; the slow dancing in the kitchen and the slamming of the doors. To write lines about the one you love such as "and what we have/isn't called sex anymore" and balance it with the simplicity of "Coltrane on the stereo/red wine and mac and cheese/and a quiet bliss" takes raw guts, which Julie has plenty of, as she opens the window to these joyous and painful truths.

Songs for Ghosts

Nothing dies for good in Songs for Ghosts, Julie Valin's second poetry collection. In plainspoken and free verse rock 'n' roll style, Valin celebrates the moments that make and break us, the travels that invigorate us, the people who mean the world to us, and the feelings attached to the ceaseless entrance and exit of these moments. Memories intertwined with songs is a motif, and, with a soundtrack included in the back, the book reads as if it's an invitation to hang out with the poet, listening to her handmade mixtape.

Jenny et Thomas ont tout pour être heureux. Cela fait quatre ans qu'ils filent le parfait amour. Ils viennent de se marier et ont acheté un bel appartement. Car ils ont un nouveau projet et pas des moindres: fonder une famille. Mais avoir un enfant bouleverse bien des choses... et cela, ils vont l'apprendre à leurs dépens. Et lorsque leur bébé commence à vomir et à être en détresse respiratoire à peine après avoir terminé son plat préparé, ils ont compris. A présent, chaque minute compte. Le combat bouleversant de deux parents qui se battent au quotidien pour offrir une vie normale à leur enfant allergique. On rit, on pleure.

Wonderlands of the Avant-Garde

Wonderlands of the Avant-Garde

Julia Vaingurt

Northwestern University Press
2013

In postrevolutionary Russia, as the Soviet government was initiating a program of rapid industrialisation, avant-garde artists declared their intent to serve the nascent state and to transform life in accordance with their aesthetic designs. In spite of their professed utilitarianism, however, most avant-gardists created works that can hardly be regarded as practical instruments of societal transformation. Exploring this paradox, Vaingurt claims that the artists’ investment of technology with aesthetics prevented their creations from being fully conscripted into the arsenal of political hegemony. The purposes of avant-garde technologies, she contends, are contemplative rather than constructive. Looking at Meyerhold’s theater, Tatlin’s and Khlebnikov’s architectural designs, Mayakovsky’s writings, and other works from the period, Vaingurt offers an innovative reading of an exceptionally complex moment in the formation of Soviet culture.

Identifies and examines a poetics of weakness in Soviet underground literature Artists of the late Soviet era sought new, nonconformist ways of approaching literary fiction, arriving at weaknessas a crucial principle of narrative and character formation. Julia Vaingurt argues that this counter-discourse of strategic weakness constituted both an aesthetic strategy and an ethical code, affording like-minded authors a feeling of recognition and commonality and uniting an international community of artists in resistance to the divisiveness of their worlds. Soft Matter: The Poetics of Weakness in Late Soviet Socialism explores the cultivation of weak subjectivity through modes such as gender subversion, queer holy foolishness, intoxication, madness, and writing disorders like graphomania and writer’s block. Identifying the poetics of weakness as formative for Soviet underground literature of the 1960s and ’70s, Vaingurt also traces the inheritance of a far older tradition within Russian culture of salutary weakness. As democratic deliberation continues to be under threat around the world, alternatives to the ubiquitous politics of force are an aesthetic, ethical, and ideological imperative.

**Previously published as "Julie" by Michelle Murray.** Julie remembers everything. Each person's name, each sentence said to her, each infinite touch on her cheek, each dreamed kiss, each farewell and every promise. She remembers each touch of a fingertip to her lips, each lick of a tongue across her back and down her leg, every glance, every innuendo, every panting need. Julie is afraid of men due to her childhood, though she daydreams of finding love. But Julie's choice of men - even though one of them is the man she hoped to find - is derailed by her strong physical and emotional attraction to her friend Tammy, and their growing relationship. Julie finds that life without love was much simpler than life WITH love, and as more characters enter her life, her emotional conflicts increase. High school memories, indecision, ethical conflicts, and the pressures to conform to society's values while approaching 30 all combine into a turbulent, sexually explicit depiction of a modern-day relationship between two professional women in their 20s.
