Dusie - Giving and Sharing Poetry
Many might recognise Dusie as Mina Loy's student nickname, it is also, quite fittingly, a name that encompasses the concepts, creative ouput, poetic projects and collaborative activity, instantiated and cultivated by Susana Gardner. The word Dusie has several different personal resonances for Gardener, Dusie projects and press activities are similarly diverse. Dusie exists as an on-line poetry journal, a small press, a website, a series of collective poetics projects, and a community. Although largely based and distributed online, a distinctive handmade aesthetic and craft-ephemera sensibility is carried across to these virtual spaces.
~ Dusie Links ~
Dusie.org operates as the main hub site for Gardner and her collaborators' activity. Note that the link will take you to Dusi/e-chaps Issue Seven but you will find all the other issues archived here and e-chaps that are downloadable and free, easily accessible and printable in pdf format. You will also find information about Dusie, and links to current projects and a wide poetics community.
