ink markings
If ink markings on mute paper can ever be called a life form or even its surrogate – books come most startlingly alive when authors move away from their own immediate lives.
Talk to yourself, let the words pour out: Allow some words to be of one person and allocate other words to another person. This is what I call “defining character-based dialogue”, it is also a form of allocating stray thoughts toward a building of ideas!
— George Henry Köhler, Creating Metafiction, Part two
The gaze of old woman seeing the lost world of her childhood
palm trees
her overlit eyes pointed to final plastic
coracle jungle around me
without guerilla force clinic
(…)
World wrong end of a telescope
great distance
measured aperture
big picture scheme exchanges
— Ralph Lichtensteiger, 1993
