Today is that day. In the Paris College of Art Adjunct Faculty bio for Malik Ameer Crumpler, he lists my TPQ5:Maggs Vibo Interview from The Poetry Question. Crumpler lists it right there amongst so many stellar achievements. It is too much for this poet to handle. If I factor in the L'Air Arts Exhibition, the Paris Lit Up PLU 9 Launch & the Maintenant 17: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art Launch, we have collaborated nearly a handful of times (not that I am counting). Who am I trying to fool? OF COURSE I AM COUNTING! So, today a little bit of fangirling for Malik (again). Check the search box to see how often I lose my cool with this Poetry legend.

DETAILS: Three Rooms Press Presents: 2023 PARIS ¡DADA! an Evening of Disruptive and Provocative Poetry, Performance and Music LOCATION: PARIS DADA at La Cave Cafe at 19h50 DATE: Wednesday 13 September, 2023 TIME: 19:30–21:30 VENUE: La Cave Café ADDRESS: 134 Rue Marcadet COUNTRY: Paris #wombwellrainbow #paulbrookes
DETAILS: Check out the photo prompt provided by Paul Brookes, EIC of Wombwell Rainbow. Brookes provides lots of prompts for artists. His created responses of the day posts are just what you might envision. He posts a photo (usually of his town in the metropolitan borough of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, England) and it generates creative responses. IN this instance, the shadows followed a perspective to the opening of light and my poem centered on that light and the geometric patterns I noticed throughout the image. #dadafestival2022 #internationaldadafestival

But when peace ends, there is only war. War and peace are co-dependent. Perhaps it is now time for a “Peacefire.” Happy First Friday! #middlewestpress #randybrown #vickihudson #lisastice #militarywritersanthology #military #anthology #thingswecarrystill DETAILS: Announcing the launch of a military anthology *preorders in time for Veterans Day.

More information provided at the website: Honolulu Printmakers #honoluluprintmakers DETAILS: What's the first sign of feeling more comfortable in a location? 4 months back on island and finding a local nonprofit to support with a studio membership. Stay Tuned for more blogging about my new art community. Our mission is simple: to promote the art and culture of printmaking and the appreciation of prints as a unique artform. Our current programs include exhibitions by local printmakers, a community-access studio, workshops and lectures, and year-round outreach." #CO$TOFWAR #MaggsVibo
DETAILS: Experimenting with some "poetry price tags" using conceptualized Thrift Tag physicality and the idea of "Popping Tags" from popular culture. The price from "CO$T OF WAR" (8 with 12 zeros) is taken straight from the Costs of War Project from the Watson Institute Institute & Public Affairs at Brown University. The usage of labels was inspired from the visual poetry of Alec Finlay and others in the vispo scene. More to follow as I will track other costs using medical jargon, pie charts, and other office tools. This is an ongoing experiment using the materiality of uniforms, utilitarian fabrics, and many art techniques. The goal is to complete a book of visual poetry using my war experience as the catalyst. Process: label poems, letter transfers, tracing paper layering and opacity techniques. #penteractpress

You really should listen to Christie in Series 2, Episode 9 of the Penteract Poetry Podcast hosted by Anthony Etherin or follow blogs about all manner of subjects! The poet's work is part of The Book of Penteract (published by Penteract Press) and Pandemic Love and Other Affinities (IceFloe Press). Because both of us have pieces in these two anthologies, I consider us poetry family. Christie is an absolute treasure in the poetry community and someone you can depend on to respond to poetry and poets alike! Christie has a new book out with Penteract Press and I just cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of Triangles. Read the blurbs below and support indie presses! More news to follow regarding Christie's projects releasing later in 2023. Triangles presents a sequence of poems inspired by various types of triangle, presenting also an equally varied array of forms and constraints. #thetickle #issue43 #annamalina #maggsvibo #mariavaz #mikhailzaikanov #kikanicolela
DETAILS: The micro scripts were something I'd worked on since 2012 and were used as the basis for my MALS course shell at Thomas Edison. What a delight to be asked to share them in such an inventive issue of The Tickle with guest editor Anna Malina and featuring Kika Nicolela, Maggs Vibo, Maria Vaz, and Mikhail Zaikanov. |
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.
