Abstract
Editorial Drake Stutesman Framework 59.1 looks at various mediums in which creativity flourishes in unexpected ways. Television, as a vehicle for the poetic as much as for the prosaic, is examined by two writers. Ben Olin's "Reframing the New York School: Public Access Poetry and the Screening of Poetic Coterie" details the 1970s and '80s New York cable television show Public Access Poetry, which featured poets, most of whom were in emerging avant-garde literary movements, and discusses how the visual medium reflected and played with the verbal medium and how central it was to the development of the new writing. In his piece "Lyrical Television" Scott MacDonald, critic, programmer, and advocate of independent/avant-garde cinema, work that is often regarded as poetic, considers the way television also employs "lyrical," as he names it, avant-garde practices. Scholar and costume designer Lauren Boumaroun, in her essay "Costume Designer/Everything: Hybridized Identities in Animation Production," reveals the surprising world of costume design in animation, especially focusing on particular designers by exploring their experience in the workplace as well as their ingenuity in executing the task of creating outfits for stop-frame and drawn characters. One of the Framework 59.1 cover images, showing a close-up of fingers knitting a sweater on knitting needles the size of small straight pins, tells part of that story. In the section "New Looks: Film Review," in which authors reexamine a film released in the past few years, Susan Potter and Matias Perez ponder Nuri Bilge Ceylan's 2014 film, Winter Sleep, in "Melodramatic Ends: Winter Sleep (Kiş Uykusu)."
