Posted a few pics of the Derek Beaulieu Catalogue Saisonee from Paper View. Picked it up a good few years ago and finally got around to adding to the blog. It's a wonderfully tactile object.

it's been too long since I posted anything concrete so here are a few things from _Source: music of the avant garde_ journal.
Including a Bob Cobbing piece (apologies for the crop). I don't have the deats for the other pieces, if I'm not too lazy I'll try and add later.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐚𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬: "𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐦" -

Concrete poetry depends on the poem's shape on the page for some of its meaning. I remember doing these as kids, yes, but now . . . ?

Merry Christmas! In keeping with the season, I present to you my latest chapbook, All the Words of the Reindeer. It is all the words I found (2078, it turns out) I could create with one letter from each of the reindeer names in Twas The Night Before Christmas. My longest chapbook yet, it's a sort-of followup to my 2024 chapbook, All the Words of the Rainbow (which used the common names of the colors of the visible spectrum (ROYGBIV)). Printed and staple bound at home, zine-style. Share your postal address with me and I'll drop one in the mail to you. Merry Christmas!
