Screen 2 from The Morton Salt Girl Monologue: NaCl and the Meaning of Her Mark, 2012
These collage poems span my work since the mid-1990s, when I was a student first in the Poetics Program and then in library school at University at Buffalo. The collages began as an experiment in how to make sound poems based on how words were arranged on the page. Very quickly, they became experiments in how to read words and pictures together. They look like visual poetry, but most of them, when read aloud, also become performance poetry.
This is a personal website meant to document my body of work, so it is both in-progress and partial. I have given many collages away as gifts, so I no longer have them to digitize and post. Additional collages for which I do have either the original or some sort of reproduction will be posted as they are scanned or photographed.
Some of these pieces have been published previously in Essex, Nedge, The Capilano Review, and on the Electronic Poetry Center website.
