Without ever planning to, I have been working in this way ever since Rattler<\/em>, the poetry zine Peter and I published so long ago. You\u2019d think I was a student of McLuhan or something. Perhaps it is just natural for someone raised with television, movies, moving images.<\/p>\n I wrote another poem for it today and managed to get some work done on the novel.
