Thanks, JK, for the elaboration and sample segment. Here's my
adaptation of the geo-text guidelines given in the invitational
paragraph of your last post:
I'd like to invite Poetryetc participants to assist in the creation
of a bio-text. The aim is to break down and/or reinvent our biotic
territories, boundaries, systems, and/or species by creating one or
more interactive, collective life-form(s)--a discursive Being-in-
poetry, say, whereby each participant contributes a prosthesis of
some sort, with JK's editorial role then becoming one of synthesis.
Or not--because any such bio-poetic being is as likely to resist or
refuse synthesis as to lend itself to a communal life-form. It's up
to you to take your own sense of bio-textuality wherever you like,
whether it's embodied (e.g., uni-sensory, organ-specific, functional
as a nostril or all-encompassing as skin) or "planted," domesticated
or feral, sexual or one-celled or paraphiliac, gender-eu/dysphoric,
or eluding gender altogether.
Your prothesis may be mixed, altered, amputated, or elaborated by JK
and as thesis, antithesis, or phantom limb, among many other potential
reshapings in the process of amassing or constructing or designing the
accruing bio-text, or list/life-form. Write your bio-traces, tinglings,
or torments as a single, continuous, unpunctuated screed (no caps. or
line breaks either) then post your bio-textual stream or spore to the
list under the subject heading "bio-text project."
Look forward to reading you in the flesh--
Candice
