CoPo

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with Brian Eno. He was a pioneer, especially of ambient music, for decades. He recently released a computer program that overlaps different pictures and sounds and it randomly overlaps them. The possibility is there for 77 Million different images. I wonder what something like this would be like if it used words in poetic form? If anyone wants the program, I have it. Eno encourages free distribution. Let me know!

I wonder what I did to deserve a bloody sword crossing the red sea to smite me. I find the caption pretty poetic, I have to say. Think about the different meangings.

“My Everything” by Liza Garza. Here’s a freestyle poem, since someone asked about that in class Tuesday. The production value is low, so it’s a little tough to look at, but his ideas are interesting. His name is Award the Poet. One thing I noticed was that the “flow” was there, but he lacked the confidence you see in his other rehearsed poems.   And here’s another one by Kelly Tsai, the poet we showed in our presentation. She’s got a ton of videos on YouTube, if you like her style.

Below is the skeleton of the espresso machine at the Eagle’s Nest, who doesn’t find poetry in coffee? I also like how we have a note to not turn it off at night, no one said anything about not taking it apart…

I snuck a kitten in my dorm room last year, I thought I lost him, but he was just sleeping…

A true defeatist, she would be a beatnik

Can found poetry be revised?  My brother (whom I always find poetry in) at his prom.

I wish I had taken this…

Before this semester I had not had a lot of experience ith scansion or meter or rhythm in poetry.  I am taking this class alongside Emerson’s seminar Poetics in Practice and in the beginning of the semester both classes were focusing heavily on scansion and meter.  Every class we were practicing scansion and talking about its affect on poetry.  Emerson told us to listen to how people talk, to try to listen to the natural stresses and unstresses that come out of their mouths.  So I tried to do that and that night I had a dream that was scanned.  As everyone in my dream spoke the words would come out of their mouths with stress marks over top of them.  I thought it was funny that I had been so immersed in scansion that I was even scanning my dreams.
