About me:
For the past two decades I've been a poet, multimedia artist, editor (of We Press and other projects), and critic (occasionally all at once).

Another book, Technopoetry Rising: Essays and Works (translated by Jorge Luiz Antonio, Preface by Lucio Agra) is being published in São Paulo by Editora Musa, also in 2007.

Forever Trespass” is a digital poem exploring the question, "Does the poem own the poet or the poet own poem?" The sound art for this piece was constructed from the 2D (2 directional) poem, "Forever Trespass". The "normal" voice is me reading the poem vertically (down the columns) and the "harmonized" voice is me reading the same poem horizontally (across the rows). The video was made by animating my photographs and digital art and integrating it with the original sound art. I am hoping you would like it. Let me know what you think. ~md
