I won't write anything I'll regret. Who knows?

My view is to enjoy the day. Two really great people (IMHO) made something wonderful for us. I'm enjoying the hell out of it, I admit. You seem to share it too, 

Here in the hypertext wasteland tomorrow might be different.

Maybe.  Do you think she would? You know I was just thinking how some people get launched and some people do the launching. I dunno, both evoked the Browning in me which made me smile.

@ maybe we can get Marie to come back to IUOMA, at least for a guest appearance.

You know, Rebecca, in some ways it's funny because you can read into Marie's comments" "What? Me? How did I get here?" Because she's on this blog that runs Ed Sanders, Aram Saroyan, on & on & there she is in Tokyo never having considered that what she does could possibly have affinity with that. But it does.

Concrete poetry likely entered the US from Brazil to Black Mt. College in the 1950s. 

If you think about it, it's mind-boggling, bordering on total overload. But I do really love that piece.

But yes, step away from the computer and decompress.

Agree. Great. It makes me more convinced that we should never sleep. So much to explore, do. And everything nearly accessible now so it's only a matter of doing if you're any good. Inspiring. Ironic that I'm having to sew curtains to keep the light out (now).

@ TC is of that generation with Bill Berkson, your former schoolmate. The generations of NY School especially have/had that interest in the visual arts, so it's interesting to see how the whole thing was approached.

Yip, our own Marie (x-IUOMA). A great image-text piece, IMHO.

Thanks DVS. Love to see the Wintzer/Clark collab.

A very cool posting on "Beyond the Pale" today. A poem by Tom Clark and photos by visual poet Marie Wintzer. Black Mountain/NY School meets vispo.
