this is erotic play for the ears. do you plan on releasing a cd of sound poetry to accompany wide slumber?
no plans, ant; hope to record the work that's been developed over the last year, though, for archive.
Wow, that did not sound like you book! Do the items in itlaics get spoken ever? Yes I am writting a paper on your poetry mostly because I am very intrigued by your style. If you do respond please do not answer me back like a Prof with a question.
newbondgirl, i'd be happy to answer your questions via e-mail. please feel free to contact me at arawlings[at]sympatico[dot]ca.
i look forward to hearing your thoughts on how the book sounds to you. reader's intentions and interpretations often interest me as much as or moreso than an author's intentions.
as for the italics, a short answer: yes. often. and sometimes not by me. a longer answer: for the harbourfront performance, the italics portion in dyssomnia (Collect, kill, and mount specimen) was read concurrently with the italics in NREM (Collect, sort, and frame text) and a third unpublished text I wrote specifically for performance (Create, repeat, and mount performance).
but please do feel free to e-mail in future with questions.
