Do you need a prompt to write a poem? How about 45 million?
I share poems that I find in printed concordances at ConcordancePoems.com (and tweet them as @concordancepoem).
Sometimes I create and score little videos.
I collect records of all sorts and sometimes run a local Record Nite.
I have an academic life as well. This is the longest thing I will ever write.
