Future Ideas

Like I was talking about in class, I think it would be cool to work more with lyrics. I tried to use them a little bit in the twitter posts, but it might be beneficial to explore their uses more. Staying in the twitter vein, it would be interesting to piece together a narrative using only twitter posts from other users I follow. Different things happening to different people all in the same day. The last idea I had would be to spend a fair amount of time in one place that people spend time and converse (I'd have to look inconspicuous). I would take a tape recorder to record the whole time I'm there and use bits and pieces of those conversations to create a narrative that spans the length of the day.

Project Idea

For a project idea, I would of liked to use locations. Like use the places we have been to or constantly visit like friends house, a vacation we go to, grocery store, etc. I think take different things from those locations and expand on them.

Project Idea

I would like to use the phone book as a source text and randomly use street names, people's names, business names and city names chosen at random or in some other method to create something interesting. An urban phone book is so large that there should be tons of good and colorful language there.

Since all the shows on the so-called "Bible Code" have been aired on the Discovery channel, it might be interesting to use the Bible as a source text and create my own 'code.' This would be incredibly time intesive but I'm sure it would yield some fantastic stuff.

ideas

Well, in regards to our group project, I would have liked to have gathered more quotes; with a wider base of quotes to stem from, the poems may have been even more absurd. Furthermore, it would be interesting to compile poems with solely quotes from intoxicated people. Another option is to write the poems while intoxicated; certainly this may yield peculiar results. In addition, an extensive continuation of the collaborative micro stories could be highly interesting. I have written collaborative poems alternating turns to write each line, but never writing full paragraphs of prose.

Charles Bernstein

Bernstein gives 92 ways to rewrite poem to give them new meaning. Some methods I do not consider that he has given was 26. space left blank and 92. create your own method.
