Thanks Sarah for spending time with it. I really appreciate it - the poem puts lots of slowdown speed humps in the way and many would give up before the end. There's a sound poem embedded in the poem (in red) which gives access to, or comments on, the full poem. I'm going to record some quads for my site today - though it will take a while to get the new site up, I might try to record one for here too.
Thank you Efi. I've done a couple of shonky recordings so far but better to come. I don't think it's possible to upload recordings here (??) but I'll put up a link.
Interested in the format, popping off for the visit. and welcome.
ReplyDeletegreat... looks really promising!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Chris. And very touching, once I relaxed and stopped trying to move the others around. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Chris, great to have you here, Susan.

ReplyDeleteOh I loved this, it is really interesting how the form plays with the voice in your mind as you are reading it. I will be reading it many times.

ReplyDelete365+1 is a great space isn't it!
I can't wait to hear it - it's a great work of 'othering'; stops any easy identification of self with the other in poetry, well, in writing generally.
