Jonathan Williams’ work of more than half a century is such that no one activity or identity takes primacy over any otherhe was the seminal small press publisher of The Jargon Society; a poet of considerable stature; book designer; editor; photographer; legendary correspondent; literary, art, and photography critic and collector; early collector and proselytizer of visionary folk art; cultural anthropologist and Juvenalian critic; curmudgeon; happy gardener; resolute walker; and keen and adroit raconteur and gourmand.Williams’ refined decorum and speech, and his sartorial style, contrasted sharply, yet pleasingly, with his delight in the bawdy, with his incisive humor and social criticism, and his confidently experimental, masterful poems and prose.His interests raised the common to grace,” while paying close attention to the earthy.” At the forefront of the Modernist avant-gardeyet possessing a deep appreciation of the traditionalWilliams celebrated, rescued, and preserved those things he described as, more and more away from the High Art of the city,” settling for what I could unearth and respect in the tall grass.” Subject to much indifferencedespite being celebrated as publisher and poethe nurtured the nascent careers of hundreds of emerging or neglected poets, writers, artists, and photographers.Recognizing this, Buckminster Fuller once called him our Johnny Appleseed”, Guy Davenport described him as a kind of polytechnic institute,” while Hugh Kenner hailed Jargon as the Custodian of Snowflakes” and Williams as the truffle-hound of American poetry.” Lesser known for his extraordinary letters and essays, and his photography and art collecting, he is never only a poet or photographer, an essayist or publisher.This book of essays, images, and shouts aims to bring new eyes and contexts to his influence and talent as poet and publisher, but also heighten appreciation for the other facets of his life and art. One might call Williams’ life a poetics of gathering, and this book a first harvest.

Song of the Constant Sea is a poem of moderate length which attends to the deeply entangled network of interrelations and genealogies that come together and variously cohere within a single consciousness of being. Starting from home or not home, the poem winds through a catalog of experiences and memories to suggest that home, more than a geographical location, is an imagined and essential space that is both constituted by and participant in building a poetic imaginary committed to liberatory balance, equity, and social justice.

This volume presents the thoroughly revised proceedings of the IJCAI '93 Workshop on Executable Modal and Temporal Logics held in Chambery, France in August 1993. The direct execution of logical statements, through languages such as PROLOG, has proved remarkably successful within CS and Al. In recent years a variety of nonclassical logics have been introduced and several executable forms of these logics have been applied to programming. This volume addresses a range of approaches to executable modal and temporal logics, not only from a logical point of view, but also from programming language and application standpoints; in addition, an introductory survey and an annotated bibliography are presented.
