death to women and their kiss
death to armies and navels and the fundamental narcissism

The Return of Jeff Crouch
April 2007
In the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex of Texas.
Culture as history, politics, and art, the conjunction thereof.
Time as Moebius strip.
Splicing poetry into it.
Cecilia Ferreira
March 2007
"If I can somehow portray how beautiful human flaws are I would convey a message of truth. We are all bruised apples that didn't fall far from the tree. There is a lot of beauty in those specific parts in the human psyche that society wants us to hide. We are animals who are not allowed to give in to our instincts due to the civilized stigma attached to walking on two legs."
J. Michael Mollohan
February 2007

I live in Charleston, West Virginia and travel as much as I can afford. My work is included in collections from California to New York, from England to Japan. Money has always been a problem, but the creative impulse never has."

On the Barge of the Soud, P piece, Bleak Use, S zon, and Caw Huffer
by The Be Blank Consort, January 2007
"The Be Blank Consort was born in June 2001 at The Atlantic Center for the Arts (New Smyrna Beach, FL) when all of its members were part of a literary residency convened by Richard Kostelanetz. They are all writers, but they all use language in greatly expanded and often completely new ways and contexts. The Consort was formed to perform various kinds of texts, many of them created collaboratively, in ways that would reveal new resonances and possibilities in them."
Green
by Tantra Bensko, January 2007
"Is a prayer that answers itself,
With the hoot of an owl,
The stones that wind follows
All night, as you walk,"
Missing
by Martha L. Deed, January 2007
"I've been working on the aftermath of a 1998 murder in western New York that has affected an unusually large number of people and tested the criminal justice system to its limits. Originally, I thought I would write a book, but as I worked my way through the materials made available to me, I realized that I had something quite special, quite powerful, and that 'the story' cried out for multimedia web presentation.

Red
by Amanda Earl, January 2007
"...the words "poem," "poetry" and "poet" mess me up. i try to conform to this inner nag droning on and on about what a poem is supposed to be; i enforce line breaks for no particular reason, fall into precious language and unnatural syntax...
Alphaglyphs
by endwar, January 2007
"I just wanted to see what would happen if i could make the letters interact in some mathematical way, and see what sort of shapes would result. There are some reappearances of letter forms in diminished or transposed forms – many variations on E, H and a few As. Some crosses, and some forms that look like obscure symmetric signs..."
AVATAR Sketches
by Sharon Harris, January 2007
'In at least one creation myth, a god said "Let there be light". From light came worlds. These planet drawings were digitally created from the colourful circles of light that splash across photos in certain lighting conditions.
'Some people believe the lens flares accurately depict beings from a higher realm: therefore, the orbs of light are nicknamed, "angels".

"I have always tried to be laconic..."
Janan Leikazu
visual poems, January 2007
'there's a number of things i think of when creating these pieces, i'll try and explain some of that. a letter - letters generalized – can come down to a "natural" shape (a grapefruit, a waffle, a face, a road (something "seen")) or a shape abstracted (a square (the shape of many canvasses, the shape of waffle -grids-), a line ("thread shape"));'
dog dream and temptation
by Kaz Maslanka, January 2007
"My first paintings from the early nineteen seventies, inspired by music, were images visualized in the music. Soon after, my synaesthesia moved toward a more empirical path by creating a visual language for aural experiences. My interest in correlating experience through language spawned my desire to study mathematics and physics. I am currently pursuing my interest in using mathematics as a language for art."

Memory Tables
by Gil McElroy, January 2007
"Two hundred years ago, two European powers intent on colonial expansion and hungry for the resources this continent offered clashed there, and as a consequence it has a history of heartbreak, great tragedy, and violence. In the mid-eighteenth century this place was home to French settlers who set about trying to agriculturally tame the wetlands."
Twelve Digital Poems

These visual poems are animated through the use of Web-based scripting functions.
Once More Around the Sun: A 2007 Calendar
by W. Bradford Paley, January 2007
"The visual/cultural resonances with ancient native American calendars, mandalas, antique engravings of the solar system; the red weekends at the bright center and the wavy outer corona all have been turned to directly support the calendar's use as a tool. It contextualizes every hour, even on a year's time scale: if someone marks the calendar, then looks back in even as little as an hour, they will be able to see time's inexorable march.
American Flact

Spiel
visual poems, January 2007
"The poet Spiel: Born out west to decent white farmers; same year the U.S. entered WWII; maverick child who made art which evolved as he matured intellectually through lifestyle changes leading to considerable national exposure. But in 1996, traumatic life/death illness abruptly halted his career. When his life was spared, he became reticent & for the first time ever, uncreative—until spring 1999..."
AMERICA, ABMAEBRYILCOAN, and Submission Guidelines at Coupremine
by Ted Warnell, January 2007
These are dynamic html/blogger works. They will look different on different browsers, and maybe even different versions of one browser -- for sure by different user settings per any browser...
That's normal -- in fact, that's the point.

Callie Hirsch
August 2006
"My concerns as an artist are twofold: the unearthing and piecing together of archetypal forms, and the exploration of the creative process itself. My paintings are stylized pathways, stories told through intricate designs that both intrigue and reveal. Each painting is an attempt to recreate the power of personal identity as a living organism within the larger, evolving body of human history."
