Erica's first epigraph!
Erica has been epigraphed here, a first as far as we know. In ETC's amalgaming spirit, this jennifer person used two poems from our Web site for the epigram, one for the title and one for the text. We think we like jennifer.
Since making this discovery, Erica has taken to speaking of herself as Wonder Woman and in the 3rd person: "Wonder Woman will do some e-composition a little later." "Wonder Woman needs time to think." "Wonder Woman is a cyborg!" (Actually, that last may have been "Wonder Woman is so bored." We're not sure.)
But our interest is piqued: Authority drawn from a split quote generated from software in support of an incomplete tryptych that questions political and artistic balance and its own authority. Can un-ekphrastic text from the machine be far behind?
