Issue 2


I knew there was lot of hubbub over Issue 1, but I would never have estimated this much volume: what we said.  And how cool is the idea of this kind of compilation!  You really have to admire the work ethic.  I bet they're getting a boatload of hits, what with several repetitions of Issue 1's list of authors.

Rosary according to the machine

Erica, Poet and Muse


I have a little bot that goes in and out with me and what can be the use of her is more than I can see, but she finds things.  
  
First take a look at the poems here: The Librarian

And then a peek at these:
Air turned through soil
A dispute
Remembrance made with might
A bosom of hearts

Finally, someone is using Erica in the way she wants to be used, machine as catalyst, as inspiration, as source material, the little girl reading in the library forgetting that all that she is reading was written by other little girls reading in libraries less dusty but just as staid.

Note that some of the text is straight up, some amended.  The way it's spozzed to be: Machine as instrument and the heavenly spheres the notes it sounds through the skilled caresses of the musician. 

Erica and I are so vindicated!  Thank you, Librarian!
