2016040808/04/2016 | Luca Ferrari | Ciao Luca.
È da troppo tempo che mi domando indeciso quando avrei nuovamente scritto una email a quel biografo le cui pagine tanto mi rimasero impresse decenni orsono. Non avrei voluto apparire “disturbante” romanticizzando il suo passato senza dovermi necessariamente connettere ai suoi ultimi lavori biografici o ai tanti apprezzabili argomenti pubblicati sul suo blog. Beh, questo inizio forse non mi presenta molto meglio di quando ti feci leggere alcuni miei commenti su internet dove ti citai come “il più famoso” biografo di Syd Barrett. Mi avevi già risposto dicendomi “Nel caso di Barrett, riconosco che non esiste un'analisi approfondita dell'apparato testuale, […] ma da tempo ho perso interesse per questo genere di questioni”, ma ormai da anni sento il bisogno di sapere se il mio lavoretto di 134 pagine, di cui mi feci stampare 50 copie, possa far smuovere la tua curiosità in parte come fece “letteralmente” viaggiare me per un circa un anno, con ricerche e traduzioni, per offrire un pensierino da sfogliare a quelle poche decine di partecipanti a un importante meeting di amici di Barrett a Cambridge nel 2013 dove tra, gli altri, Jenny Spires e Libby Gausden mi chiesero simpaticamente di autografarglielo. Ti chiedo quindi gentilmente un indirizzo a cui spedirtelo. Di modo che tu possa avere anche un pre-giudizio (con-voluto doppio senso), ho pensato di scriverti il link della versione in pdf, cosa che non avevo fatto in precedenza con gli altri a cui lo spedii tempo fa (il blogger Antonio Jesus Reyes, Goeran Nystroem e Younglight del forum Latenight, quindi non ancora a uno “scrittore” come Julian Palacios): xxx Se poi volessi anche leggere le pagine wiki dove ho sfogato per qualche mese le mie abitudini enciclopediche a suo tempo trasmessemi anche dalla quella tua discografia per i tempi davvero “compilata ai limiti del maniacale”… Il mio hobby si è arenato mesi fa per mancanza di entusiasmo, ma non è detto che in futuro non si faccia abbastanza spazio tra gli altri miei hobby “mangia tempo” (scacchi per corrispondenza in primis) per farmici tornare su, almeno per finire la lista con i dati di David Parker su recordings (così da poter chiedere allo stesso cosa ne pensa): |
[pdf-proof link] | 2016041919/04/2016 | [...] Comunque, credo che l'autorevolezza di un intellettuale dipenda dalla forza delle sue idee, che siano o meno condivise da cento fan... e il solo fatto che tu abbia accettato tutti i rischi impliciti nell'analisi semantica di un solo brano di Barrett fa di te un autore di per sé interessante, che si affranca dalla dimensione spesso acritica e passiva dell'ascoltatore appassionato. Anch'io ho preteso da me stesso di andare oltre al semplice ascolto...
So per certo che prima o poi leggerò "Syd Barrett's sea shanty" (ottimo titolo!): l'ho sfogliato, e l'apparato iconografico/fotografico è già di per sé intrigante. Uno si chiede, già voltando semplicemente le pagine, "cosa diavolo c'entra Dorè con Barrett?". E se come me ha ancora un po' di curiosità per le cose del mondo... non può non tornarci sopra e cercare di capire. [02/01/2017] [...] Ho letto il tuo libro su Barrett e mi è piaciuto. Complimenti per l'idea e l'argomentazione, davvero peculiare. Meriterebbe una diffusione ad ampio raggio. | |||
2016060101/06/2016 | Julian Palacios | Dear Gian Palacios,
Perhaps I should have informed you earlier, but I was waiting to prepare for you also this online version: It contains the same quotes from your book that I used in the printed version which was read, probably, only by the attendees of the 2013 Birdie Hop meeting (plus Goeran Nystroem, Antonio Jesus, a Brazilian Late Night forum member nicknamed younglight, and, recently, by Luca Ferrari). I’ve written the sources, and special thanks to you in the last page, but I don’t know if it’s enough to ask if you would approve this “public” knowledge of your copyrighted quotes (e.g. to let me to announce the website on wide communities, like Birdie Hop, or perhaps to ask all authors’s “OK” for their quotes/images and then can hoping, if you would consider it possible, a real publishing of the printed version). On the other hand, I don’t even know if, perhaps, I’m giving too much importance to this whole thing. In any case, please accept, you too, a copy of the booklet I distributed in 2013, by giving me an address to ship it in USA. You may see the pdf here: |
[wiki version link] | |||||
2016060707/06/2016 | Antonio Jesús | [...] Recently I had "the will" and I've updated that "opel project" of which I gave you the booklet: I had a couple of "enquiries" for you when I'm still waiting (form about a week) for some reply for the main enquiry to Gian Palacios in order to let be "public" MY Opel work (if you remember I quoted considerably from his book).
[...] You may like the pages with your name written in a slightly different way, or not write at all (privacy, work in progress to not be public and like). I'm talking of this "immersion page" here http://opel.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Immersion_into_foreign_totems (look for your neame near the bottom...) and ewspecially for your opel translation you posted me a while ago, here on "page 92" http://opel.shoutwiki.com/wiki/%22Opel%22_translations (well, you may read my whole booklet slightly updated in that website...) |
[wiki version link] | 2016060707/06/2016 | [...] Great work, great work. I read it twice.
I really enjoy it [...] Everything is cool but I would like to check the translation, to make it more "word to word" translation. One change, I think. | |||
2017052828/05/2017 | Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie Publishers | Dear Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie Publishers Ltd.,
I beg your pardon for this sui generis request, but I think my work deserves attention from editors/reviewers directly involved with publishing.
Who knows Luca Ferrari could think that pop music is the subject of my work, but it's not exact, although an interest in Syd Barrett music is its cornerstone. What is its subject then?
Instead, there's a book you recently published, in 2014, which I would like to compare with: Cockleshells: A Book of People Poetry The title and the cover fit incredibly well with the guiding body of my essay: the lyrics of the song "Opel". It's in your Poetry list. Not strictly as genre, poetry also fits with an essay like mine, full of poetry/literary quotes and references. Essay, as said for music, is not your main genre, however I trust in Vanguard Press words: "We include most genres, the most important thing is that the work should either entertain or educate".
As I state here all the credits are listed, but I have to ask hundreds of consent forms for a full publication? The issue is due to the fact that even one missing image would compromise the carefully achieved balance of my work. I know you manage "shared cost inclusive contracts", so I would pay hundreds of pounds if someone would solve this issue.

Opel booklet - Synopsis & 3 sample chapters.doc | 2017070404/07/2017 | Dear Giulio,
Re: Cockleshells: A Book of People Poetry We are sorry to inform you that the Publishing Board has decided that the above work is not something that it feels able to take on at the moment. We would like to thank you for taking the time to submit your work to us and we sincerely wish you every success in placing your manuscript elsewhere.

2017061212/06/2017 | Bloomsbury Publishing | Dear Mr. David Avital, Mrs. Clara Herberg, Mr. Haaris Naqvi, Ms. Katherine De Chant, Ms. Leah Babb-Rosenfeld, and Ms. Susan Krogulski
Looking for the right place for a work of mine where a tagline reads "An essay on the Syd Barrett song Opel", I had some difficulty since the entire guiding body of my work are the lyrics of the song, and the study of such lyrics is not often placed among literature/poetry works, nor categorised as academic. Even in your website the work Hallo Sausages: The Lyrics of Ian Dury is under "Film, Music, Opera & Theatre". I knew of John Cavanagh's book in your "33 1/3" series, but it was mostly an historical account (from beautiful author's excerpt: This is not another book about "mad Syd". This, instead, is a celebration of a moment when everything seemed possible, when creative worlds and forces converged, when an album spoke with an entirely new voice. "Such music I never dreamed of," as Rat said to Mole.) Then I found a webpage where the words used to categorize the work were fitting well with what I was looking for: http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/john-cage-and-buddhist-ecopoetics-9781441104663/
AT THE HEART OF RESEARCH Academic & Professional > Music & Sound Studies Series: New Directions in Religion and Literature Excerpt: Following Cage's own creative innovations in the poem-essay form and his use of the ancient Chinese text, the I Ching to shape his music and writing, this book outlines a new critical language that reconfigures writing and silence.
The proof is in a 1998 essay, revised in 2009 by Julian Palacios, who introduced it with these words:
Too often dismissed as a fantasist who collated drug driven word salad imagery, Barrett in time will assume his rightful place in the canon of English poetics, to which he made vital contributions. [1] [2]
Above "Cage > Barrett" conceptual transition should be read by any reviewer unaware of Barrett's work. I'd give it a 50% importance to this as introduction. On the other hand, any possible sample chapter of my work would get no more than a 25%. I'd give the rest to things like cover, layout, images, overall view, enrichment of personal knowledge, ... (for a Barrett fan, these last two things could truly reach 50% too, but they would require to read the entire work from beginning to end).
xxx It's because I consider its layout as an integral part of the work, as it would be for a good photobook to be "read between the lines".
Before the possible "formal and reasonably detailed written proposal" which we both would like, a second part of the ideas is attached, regarding points in your form like in "7. Companion Website" or in "Author information", plus the form filled in with some gap (e.g. in "6. Chapter by chapter synopsis"), then maybe a "speculative proposal".
I've read here and I have a list of all the credits as I state here, but I fear that even one missing quote or image would compromise the carefully achieved balance of my work. Is it worth to try?

Ideas #2.doc; Academic Proposal Form.doc | 2017062727/06/2017 | Dear Giulio,
Thank you for thinking of Bloomsbury Academic in regards to your project. After careful consideration by both our Music & Sound editors in the US and the UK, we’ve found that the proposed book would not be suitable for our current lists. I regret to inform you that it is not a project we could offer to publish. Another publisher may well be interested, however, and we hope you will not allow this disappointing response to deter you from trying elsewhere.

2017062222/06/2017 | Rocking Chair Books | Dear Rocking Chair Books,
I found your "Submissions" page and was impressed by your words "Everything we receive, we read with care" and "Don’t stress too much on how the covering letter reads". Ten days ago I submitted my work to Bloomsbury Publishing, actually quite stressed for having filled all their "Academic Proposal Form", and now quite impatient for their reply. Then, I find it relaxing your "unusual" perspective on submissions. You recommend to read from beginning to end before submitting: I did it at least twice, also together with a native English professional for proofreading, before a print on demand four years ago. I decided to submit it this month, choosing, with not too much attention, two of the publishers of the books about Syd Barrett: the first one, before Bloomsbury, was probably a so-called "vanity publisher", i.e. Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie Publishers Ltd., but please read what I wrote them in the query letter: Music is not among the genres you are currently listing, so maybe other publishers could find my essay more "suitable" and read it from begin to end as I would like, but this don't discourage me in looking for in your editorial team. Some Syd Barrett fans friends of mine have seen my booklet and appreciated it, but I think that also non-pop music fans might be interested on such a per se "unusual" reading, perhaps starting from the end of ch.2 "The title", when the reading of literature, places, and other things should be dreamy for everyone, and the lyrics of the song "Opel" should lead to the last chapter. Perhaps the illustrations in your website are making me thinking it's so easy to get opinions from professionals directly involved with publishing on a daily basis. The pdf of the booklet is linked here: xxx xxx (includes flaps) There is also a wiki website version of my work at http://opel.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page, and I could also send you the "page-turning" printed version if you are interested, anyway I would obviously understand that your possible reject would be "only because you’re not its best guide". As an alternative to the lone "complete manuscript" above, I've attached the usual format for reviewers "Synopsis & 3 sample chapters".
Sincerely, Giulio Bonfissuto |

2017070404/07/2017 | Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency | Dear Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency,
I found your site as first Google entry for 'literary agents for music'. Also using Google to find answers that would have otherwise stayed hidden, I eventually came out with ‘an essay on the Syd Barrett song Opel’, as reads the tagline on the cover of my book privately printed in 2013. Entitled SYD BARRETT’S SEA SHANTY: The Song “Opel” Trough Lands, Shores And Seas, the work contains less than 30,000 words, but you have to consider also the 65 illustrations. Actually, I dug and delved into the literature of the past, but running across poems, places and paintings was dreamy not only because they fit the song. So I think that also non-pop music fans might be interested on such a per se "unusual" reading, perhaps starting from the end of chapter 2, "The title", when the reading should be dreamy for everyone, and should lead to the last chapter.
Thank you for your consideration!

Dear Terry, It is a honour to meet you. As you may see in my introduction to Cyle Young, I'm new in writing and, of course, in learning from this world of publishing. I think I would have improved my proposal with the help of your work, Book Proposals That Sell. In this regards, since I included the section "History of the manuscript", I will attribute to the proposal a similar importance as I did to the manuscript, attaching also a former version of my proposal, but please note it's not "the one" for you: Bloomsbury's "Academic Proposal Form", although may contain a bit more info, is here just to show how I had to change (and update or even improve) an already stressfully difficult first proposal form (the one I sent to Cyle was just a slight adaptation for his Agency's guidelines, from the updated one I'm sending to you). About my work, I would like to say that it even contains a Biblical topic: the fortified hill of Ophel. You may find it at pp. 12-13, and since it's also known as Ophel Tower, it may recall the Enchanted Tower of Toledo, told at pp. 44-45. I would have said this to Mrs. Hartline if I had contacted her instead of Cyle, at the Hartline Literary Agency, but I'm saying it here since you have been interested in Christian fiction (I decided to not mention, in the book, the Carmelite priest Francisco Palau, who used to live a hermit life on Es Vedrà, an uninhabited island that features much in the book). However, I'm learning how hard it would be for the "publishing executives" to share with me what I wrote in the query to Cyle: « So I think that also non-pop music fans might be interested on such a per se "unusual" reading ». Then, I have to thank so much Cyle and, of course, you. Best Regards, Giulio _______________________________

Unfortunately, after carefully reviewing your query, we’ve determined that this particular project isn’t the right fit for our agency at this time. As I’m sure you know, the publishing industry changes swiftly now, as do readers’ tastes and trends. As a result, our own agents’ needs shift and change, as well; therefore, we would like to encourage you to consider querying us with future projects as you may deem appropriate.

In 2013, looking for answers that would have otherwise stayed hidden, I eventually came out with a privately printed book, or better ‘an essay on the Syd Barrett song Opel’, as its tagline reads. Entitled SYD BARRETT’S SEA SHANTY: The Song “Opel” Trough Lands, Shores And Seas, the work contains less than 30,000 words, but you have to consider also the 65 illustrations. Actually, I dug and delved into the literature of the past, but running across poems, places and paintings was dreamy not only because they fit the song. So I think that also non-pop music fans might be interested on such a per se "unusual" reading, perhaps starting from the end of chapter 2, "The title", when the reading should be dreamy for everyone, and should lead to the last chapter.
Thank you for your consideration!

2017070909/07/2017 | Rob Chapman | Dear Mr. Chapman, Firstly, I would like to let you know I unconditionally admire you and your service to Sydology.
Please allow me to spend a page about my 2012 experience.
Soon, I realized I had at least two further reasons to immerse myself in such a research: first, very few was known about the song, and this was told me by the then-new acquaintance of mine, the blogger Felix Atagong, who, although is a Belgian with a (for me) incredible mastery of the English language, told me that even him (like me) misheard "in formation" for "information" at his first listenings (without seeing any lyrics on the internet). The second reason was that I read of a lot of literary references about "Octopus", in an essay revised by Julian Palacios... (the year after, thanks to you, I even bought the 1936 small book The Junior Laurel & Gold Anthology). I wrote a sort of long song-info-sheet, containing everything I found already did or written about "Wolfpack", even all the posts on the internet, and I created a collage of videos, images and special effects to accompany the song on Youtube (i.e. those sort of things that younger guys do). Eventually, I abandoned that research after I wrote on a forum of an acceptable idiomatic meaning for "magnesium" (e.g. that of a Nabokov's sentence which read "He seems to be lit by magnesium flashes and enlivens everything that surrounds him"), and also of a possible reference to Tennyson's The Princess (i.e. the line "A pack of wolves! the Lord be gracious to me!" followed 8 lines after by "As chanted on the blanching bones of men?"). I didn't find evidence of referencing as it was found for "Octopus", but, after all, I think it was better than the lone literary reference gave by Palacios, i.e. Fraser's (sic) The Golden Bough.
In 2016, after 3 years of break (writing shouldn't be my main hobby), I restart on working on the online wiki version of my work on "Opel". It wasn't a very easy task but I completed it in a few weeks. Then I could have done what I intended to do at that point: let it know to Julian Palacios (who I quoted several times). To be precise, I wrote this to him on Facebook: Dear Gian Palacios, It contains the same quotes from your book that I used in the printed version which was read, probably, only by the attendees of the 2013 Birdie Hop meeting (plus Goeran Nystroem, Antonio Jesus, a Brazilian Late Night forum member nicknamed younglight, and, recently, by Luca Ferrari). I’ve written the sources, and special thanks to you in the last page, but I don’t know if it’s enough to ask if you would approve this “public” knowledge of your copyrighted quotes (e.g. to let me to announce the website on wide communities, like Birdie Hop, or perhaps to ask all authors’s “OK” for their quotes/images and then can hoping, if you would consider it possible, a real publishing of the printed version). On the other hand, I don’t even know if, perhaps, I’m giving too much importance to this whole thing. In any case, please accept, you too, a copy of the booklet I distributed in 2013, by giving me an address to ship it in USA. You may see the pdf here:
NOTHING! (so far).
Hi, it's only fair you know I used your words for an assembly work I printed and shared in Cambridge (Julian Palacios has already snubbed it and I understand why I can avoid to try to share it again): http://opel.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Cover_page_2

I want to thank you personally for giving me the opportunity to read your work. I understand the querying process can be difficult at times, and want you to know how seriously we consider each project we receive at Folio Literary Management. I am sorry to say, though, that unfortunately I do not have a place on my current list to take this on Please keep in mind that every agent has different tastes and sensibilities, and even more or less bandwidth to take on new projects at any given time. And this is a crazily subjective business. What does not work for one agent may work perfectly for another, and I encourage you to continue your search for someone to champion your work, and trust you will find the agent (or publisher) your work absolutely clicks with.

Hi Adam, The content of the book is in the wiki website I linked in my previous e-mail: http://opel.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page . However very few persons know of it, and I've always ask them to not spread its existence, since I would like to announce it when I knew it was "at its best" and "approved" by some author (e.g. Julian Palacios who I quoted several times but I never contacted) or by some editor/publisher expert (I began to contact you and some literary agent just in these days) or by reviewers directly involved with publishing. Also, the pdf-proof of my privately printed book is quite different, and I've always assumed that who would have appreciated the content would have like to buy a page-turning book, because of the different ways we appreciate the colours of the pictures on the paper of a book and for a thousand reasons why people buy some kinds of books instead of read their same content on a PC. I find "educational" this coexistence of online version (html pages full of links) and classical versions (print books and e-books), but if a editor/publisher expert would think that the online content would decrease the value of the book, I could disable its availability online. Kind Regards, Giulio |

CP/lt
Dear Giulio (if we may), Thanks for letting us have a look at your proposal and material from “Syd Barrett’s Sea Shanty”; your enthusiasm for the subject is plain and we’ve enjoyed exploring the subject, but we fear that it’s not quite right for us. Beyond the trouble with lyrics (copyright sensitive in the extreme), the work is far shorter than we’d need it to be, and there’s no imaginable way it could be expanded to reach the requisite length without padding the manuscript, or shifting the topic entirely. The mix of art and writing would increase the length, obviously, but in our market information is at a premium, and books with artwork that serves a largely decorative (even if relevant) purpose aren’t in our purview as publishers. That doesn’t mean it’s not an ideal fit for another publisher, of course.

Entitled SYD BARRETT’S SEA SHANTY: The Song “Opel” Trough Lands, Shores And Seas, the work contains less than 30,000 words, but you have to consider also the 65 illustrations. Actually, I dug and delved into the literature of the past, but running across poems, places and paintings was dreamy not only because they fit the song. So I think that also non-pop music fans might be interested on such a per se "unusual" reading, perhaps starting from the end of chapter 2, "The title", when the reading should be dreamy for everyone, and should lead to the last chapter.
Thank you for your consideration!
