So delighted to have the closing poem from DEAR DEAR in this brilliant journal alongside friends with stunning web design. Except below after Bach's MUSICAL OFFERING and Oliveros's concept of deep listening

[minor triad leaping down a drastic seventh curving chromatic descent ] courtly listening velvet viol and prettified flute the way classical sound becomes deep in terms of age in slippage of culture the chapel hall the riddle of how to play the fugue Let the King's fortunes grow with the lengthening notes 4. Or so live Like you listen deeply to whatever and however I'm all in favor of ambience say what does deep listening at this point I'm just riffing is a kind of improv even mean listening a riff on the river Pauline I'm trying to walk with the song into a new place

working on a Gilgamesh translation. Graphic novel + etymological/cuneiform study + typographical experiment + sumi ink painting + poetry + Derrida + circuit diagram + anything else that finds its way in. Here's a new painting for the word "īmuru" meaning "seen", and some spreads #concretepoetry
