The following 2 pdf files
are excerpts from my unpublished thesis manuscript, "Past Taps".
These poems were made during my time at California College of the
Arts (formerly California College of Arts & Crafts) in San Francisco
between 2002 and 2004.
Staunchly against giving
context for my work at that time, I was experimenting with the relationship
between sound, text and image. I didn't care much about narrative.
Looking back, it seems that the ones I like now have some sort of
grounding that keeps the mess of sounds and words from pure self-indulgence.
Ok, all of that said, I've included some poems that I still like.
If interested, email me and I'll send you some of the others.
