Come ruin, it will die at work. Fire? I can hear their droning fine. Sit down upon the blue sky as a background to stare at the stout man seen rising slowly and heavily. What if he did? The man and minute objects first. He would have to pretend having circled above the spot, accidentally skimming its bearings. It darts away like snow-swim following it. Particularly late, our satisfaction goes straight to the roof ledge.

Handing out money gets in the way of hidden springs amid the trees. He was making himself queasy–a bud and yet a blossom, closely veiled to a murmur. The smoke sometimes tries to rifle the fire. It curled in a column, dark smudges above.

Other Cl/utter & The Scream: A call for submissions

Preliminaries: If you've never visited the visual poetry website Other
Cl/utter before you can go to www.otherclutter.com to see what it's on
about. If you've not yet stumbled on the Scream Literary Festival, skim and
peck your way over to www.thescream.ca

The Call: This year the Scream Literary Festival has chosen 'The Book is
Dead' as its theme. Yes, dead. Up and croaked. Each year we have an on-theme
gallery showing in the basement of Type Books located in Toronto's Queen
West district where the Scream also holds workshops and other events. The
gallery stays up for the duration of the festival (this year July 2-13) and
is generally curated by someone from the writing community with an interest
in the subject-matter (this year Jenny Sampirisi, facilitator of Other
Cl/utter and Bill Kennedy, co-compiler of the Apostrophe Engine are heading
up the gallery showing). Given this year's theme we're looking to have book
works, treated text, and book objects and/or their destruction. The artwork
will be placed inside the gallery and will also be displayed on Other
Cl/utter as a digital extension of the event.

Works can speak to the growing worry of the obsolete book object in favour
of a digital information system; they can examine the role of something like
an archive, a dictionary, a non-searchable database; they might present new
challenges to the authoritative functions of the book or question the
relevance of published textual knowledge and the limitations of the book as
a finite, bound object currently faced with potential dematerialization.

Sculpture, audio, paper works, digital imagery and documentation of
conceptual art projects are all welcome

Please send submissions and queries to otherclutter@gmail.com. And feel free
to pass this on to interested third parties.
