Performance Poetry
A chapter in the book Fragmentation
Virtual Realism

This is designed for each voice part to be read vertically in an unpunctuated stream, simultaneously. It's a lot more complicated than the first performance piece, which had only two parts, but I think if done with four different voices, preferably two male, two female, and maybe some older and some younger performers, it could make for some interesting musical effects when read in a circle around the audience. I wanted to create an effect of the multiple platforms vying for our attention in our non-stop, data streaming world of today, and to illustrate how difficult it is for us to maintain our sense of self in such an environment. Can't wait for the reviews on this one. It is challenging and I would encourage you to read my essay, On Performance Poetry, and the first piece, Myself and someone else, to get a sense of what I am trying to do here. This is very different poetry from the mainstream. a side note: there is a problem with posting this on this site; the columns I created for each voice disappear in the post and it is all garbled. This is not going to work on Fanstory. estory
