A Poetry Dialogue: On-line Sourcing
Have you ever picked up a book at random in a library, bookstore or from your own bookshelf, then idly thumb the pages? I am sure you have. Wandering the internet via Google or any on-line search engine or blog serves the same purpose. Therein exists a continuous & what one might call a Browsable Narrative.
Here are some interesting internet browsing spots, some of which were used to create my piece, “Swagger & Remorse,” as part of the exhibition, “For Public Consumption” on view at the Hyde Park Art Center.

All those “SPAM” e-mails you undoubtedly get every day are full of oddness & can be good sources for poetry material.
Today’s challenge: Pick five or six lines heading the subject lines from your e-mail in-box & write a poem using them. Send them along to me c/o this blog. Let’s see what happens.

Wordplay at the end of the day!? Fun. Here's my spam haiku:
loans, ring tones, loose weight
even super humans are
struggling for sleep
