Altered books
Every now and then I look over and see my pile of pages from Ulysses and think I should get back to my altered book project. So far, I’ve done a whopping three pages, I think. Typical of my relationship with Ulysses. I never can make any progress with that book.
Someday I’ll do another page.
Meanwhile, I’ll recommend that you take a look at the Altered Books site, if you haven’t been there lately. The project gets more elaborate as it goes on, as the participants get into it I guess. I can’t hope to compete with that, for sure. Anyway, I think my interest will always lean more toward what language I can find through these altering techniques.
Geof Huth at dbqp recently featured Invisible Notes, where you can see the work of Peter Ciccariello, whom I think I would describe as a landscape poet.
Also, if you’d like to see some fine photos, some interesting visual poems, AND practice your French, take a look at L’Oeil Ouvert.

Sherry,
Where do you find all the stuff you write about. L’Oeil Ouvert (despite the weird capitalization for a title in French) is a weirdly sensuous find. All those sinuous letters curling through the photographs of nature. Thanks.
Geof

Ah, that one came to me from a friend who is a linguist and a photographer. I tried to write to her to ask if I could copy some of the work to the blog but my college French is long gone and she didn’t answer.
Another landscape poet?
