"Lovesong for a duplicating device" is a masterpiece. A compromise between editor, publisher, and author is the best way to describe the process. CONCLUSION: If you aren't following the work of Sal, please do not delay. Follow Paperview Books and watch the video. #ashpoetry Thanks to Anthony Etherin and Clara Daneri for their tireless efforts to put together such a colossal hardback anthology loaded with art created by my favorite artists. Inside, there are 6 pieces of ash poetry which I created to provide a glimpse into the era we find ourselves: war, disease, political corruption, scandals, resource scarcity and more. Each of my ash poetry visual poems are made from text I wrote. Each word of text torn and burnt on all four edges to resemble religious scrolls. CONCLUSION: Purchase your copy: LINK Full Colour, Hardback, 210 x 148mm, 200pp #astrapapachristodoulou Her debut collection is a stunner and available with Guillemot Press. Get your copy today. CONCLUSION: Purchase: LINK Astra Papachristodoulou’s debut poetry collection Constellations is a sequence of 88 visual poems with games based on the 88 recognized astronomical constellations. Using collaged and found texts the artist weaves phrases and fragments through the stars, creating new patterns and ambiguities while inviting the reader to join in. #paperviewbooks

A loss for my family. This blog post represents loss and life. This image is of my grandfather swaddled. His Grandfather (right side with cigar) was part of Sherman's March to the Sea. And so I will take time to process this news of his passing. CONCLUSION: Although war is in Europe ... I take comfort in this image. Ukrainian violinist Illia Bondarenko filmed himself in a basement shelter in Kyiv. He's playing an old Ukrainian folk song called Verbovaya Doschechka (arranged by Illia Bondarenko). He was contacted by violinist Kerenza Peacock who reached out to 94 violinists in 29 countries to accompany him in harmony." #newexhibition

CONCLUSION: Link to Workshops: Veterans' Poetry Workshops Link to podcast with Niall Munro: Interview with Maggs Vibo. Link to BFBS radio story: How Poetry Is Helping Explore What It Is Really Like To Be A Veteran. Link to anthology: 'My teeth don't chew on shrapnel': an anthology of poetry by military veterans. I built from the letter R the peak of a volcano and the letters spelling AGE to flesh out the crater. The pressure builds and the lava spews out using colored pencils in various shades of black, brown, red to carve into the paper the word rage in all caps and a spewing ash cloud made from torn paper burned around the edges.

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
