VISUAL POETRY. THE TEXTUAL IMAGINATION. AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Thursday. November 29. 2007
We are human (flesh and blood) and conceptual (thought and memory). We assay to excel the bounds of our bodies yet we accept daily to the pleasures of the body. We are highways of ambition and alleys of sloth. We are blind visionaries. We are mute singers. We are illiterate writers. We want to accept that the word is paramount and that the visualise is supreme. We be to understand how text on a summon means by no longer being text. We want to be able to read a approach an inner thigh the smallest fingernail on a left transfer. We want to learn to construe a come down an arcing a come down. We be to see everything as text there for us to read. We try to act meaning between two modes of expression between two methods of thinking between two ways of being. We try to find the right alchemy for our particular obsession. We do as we do. We try as we might. We urge as we may. We alter what we can. We hope as we must. We work as we shall. We come when we can. We get when we lose. We dream when we wake. We strive when we dream. We are visual poets left to our own devices by society happy in our sandbox digging through grains of smooth to the dark brown hide we desire. Somewhere in that loamy mud we find our souls._____* Thanks to Karri Kokko for creating the pun that serves as the call for today's thoughts.
