About this ebook
Poetry. This collection of prose poems explores the expansiveness of language as it ranges over particle physics and cosmology, and in how texts network with other texts (some of the poems were generated from other texts, from Google searches, through "interactions" with random texts). Interstitial poems between sections provide structure for the book; built entirely from language that appears elsewhere in the book, they progress according to the Fibonacci sequence, which determines first the number of words in each poem, then the number of words and the number of syllables as the numbers grow larger. Also available from SPD is Brian Clements's collection DISAPPOINTED PSALMS. He edits the small press Firewheel Editions and its Sentence: A Journal of Prose Poetics and coordinates the MFA in Professional Writing at Western Connecticut State University.
