Announcing Oakland Simulpoem (a little late)

A little late for the official "release date" of this e-chap, but want everyone to check out the Oakland Simulpoem, a very cool collaborative text written with Loretta Clodfelter, J.D. Mitchell-Lumsden, Lara Durback, David Harrison Horton, Chad Lietz, Chris Stroffolino and myself in intervals between 2006 and 2007. Basic concept of the piece is to have people in different locations of the city simultaneously composing poems of a more-or-less observational nature. Having the privilege to edit/organize the effort, I'm of course biased about the result- but I think it was a pretty damn cool experiment, with pretty damned cool results.

While you're checking out Simulpoem, cruise through the rest of the site- a dauntingly expansive and exhaustive, on-going effort from David Horton and Stephanie Young and their legion of contributors.
