Tim Liu - A Cosmic Library, The Other Who Comes

green_space

A cosmic library / The unsayable / Rickie Lee Jones / akashic records / Devo / L’avenir / UMass / Derrida / David Berman / Space for feeling-states / poetry / Pavement / Hedonism / What is to come, someone who comes whose arrival is totally unexpected…that is the real future, the other who comes without my being able to anticipate their arrival / Grounding a reading / The machine and the divine / To rediscover through the detours of art those two or three great and simple images in whose presence their heart first opened / the unimaginability of the future / If it bores God, you’re f*cked

Timothy Liu (Liu Ti Mo) was born in 1965 in San Jose, California to immigrant parents from Mainland China. He is the author of twelve books of poems, including Of Thee I Sing, selected by Publishers Weekly as a 2004 Book-of-the-Year; Say Goodnight, a 1998 PEN Open Book Margins Award; and Vox Angelica, which won the 1992 Poetry Society of America's Norma Farber First Book Award. He has also edited Word of Mouth: An Anthology of Gay American Poetry. His next book, Down Low and Low Down: Bedside Bottom-Feeder Blues, will be published in 2023.

Translated into ten languages, Liu’s poems have appeared in such places as Best American Poetry, Bomb, Kenyon Review, The Nation, Paris Review, Ploughshares, Poetry, The Pushcart Prize, Virginia Quarterly Review and The Yale Review. His journals and papers are archived in the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library. He is currently a Professor of English at SUNY New Paltz.

Liu is an intuitive reader of occult esoterica, including the Tarot and the I-Ching and the Akashic Records, and is available for private consultations.
