National Library May 4: A Hundred Thousand Words

I am now in the process of compiling and creating works for my presentation at the Central Library on May 4.

I have worked with the following poets: Lee Williams(New York), Akiyoshi Kumiko(Japan), Cyril Wong and Koh Tsin Yen (Singapore). Arleen Schloss and I have worked together as well, though she is an "alphabetician", an artist who uses words to make art; especially their shapes and sounds.(Visit her site at: www.panix.com/~atel/) .

I will also show some work from the Chicago project, inspired by Carl Sandberg's poem...something I must finish soon!

The work will be projected and, just as there are music videos, these could be called poem videos. "Poem videos " sounds sexier than "audiovisual literary presentations" and less vague than "experimental videos"....
