The light is like a spider. The webs of your eyes There are filaments of your eyes -Wallace Stevens
It crawls over the water.
It crawls over the edges of the snow.
It crawls under your eyelids
And spreads its webs there–
Its two webs.
Are fastened
To the flesh and bones of you
As to rafters or grass.
On the surface of the water
And in the edges of the snow.
Pure Poetry: Throwing Muses - Limbo (Live @ Handelsbeurs, Gent, 2011.10.27.) (by stereomacko)
“Once again
Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs,
That on a wild secluded scene impress
Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect
The landscape with the quiet of the sky.”

The Hay(na)ku Postcard Project
A crowdsourced #poetry project… #paper
“When it comes to music, I’ve always been a fascist, prepared to make an instant judgement on someone’s character with nothing more than a cursory glance at their record collection.” -Simon Armitage, 2008:30
Just out: THE CHAINED HAY(NA)KU PROJECT, curated by Ivy Alvarez, John Bloomberg-Rissman, Ernesto Priego & Eileen Tabios
This book is the result of a collective, collaborative effort. The book reflects the open, online nature of the poetic process. The genealogy of the project is reproduced in detail on its pages: blogging, email exchanges, comments on posts, etc. As a result this is as honest as poetry can get: there is no make up here, at least no extra make up: imagine a poetry anthology with behind the camera special features. Notions of authority, centrality, language, hierarchy, genre, art forms, geography are interrogated in practice in the collective creative efforts of dozens of contributors from around the world. If you are into art, digital media, social networking, blogging, electronic writing or poetry do give this little book a try. You won’t be disappointed.
