We are reading a book together, Stephen Nachmanovitch’s newest, The Art of Is. We are using NowComment as our annotation platform and if you want to join us let me know and I will forward an invite. You can lurk or otherwise do as you will.
One of the first objects to emerge for me springs from the comments in the margins. The poem below is a remix of our comments into a poem. I have embedded an etherpad version for anyone else who might want a try at remixing/stealing/hacking/re-vamping what I created. (Please note: I have the raw materials of my poem here on Diigo to share if you want to start there: First Creative Feldgang for The Art of Is

Shepard the cadence forward to find a way
into the listen .. all collapsing daydreamers
dare to be different … We are the fade,
the spiral, the conversation, the fabric,
the knit, the knot, the not …
the unknowing spool of words
playing improv into the screen,
where you take a thread and lead

Two celestial objects:
One mine and
One yours.
An unexpected
binary
each revolving
around the other.
Lunar.
Tidal.
Salty.

I’m not salty,
I’m sweet.
(Well, mostly).
I feel more often not than knot
in the presence of your genius.
(A locus? or a locust?)
I’m listening.
