I'm both intrigued and puzzled here: as far as the Speech Project goes I try
to use the inarticulacies of word in mouth as a platform for an object -
such as a poem - I'm not sure how many of my attempts on those lines work -
maybe a couple - but it's interesting to 'go against one's own grain' and
eschew surface verbal complexity in favour of the 'and this happened.... and
then that' which reproduces the inadequacies of casual conversation. The New
Testament is one of my secret models y'know. But my puzzlement is how your
curios relate to the notion of such, not that I don't like them, but the
link I find hard to see, so I would really like to see a statement from you
about your aesthetic on this.
All the Best
