A friend (up-and-coming poet Lorin Ford) and I have been messing with some
collaborative work - one feeding off the other, kind of thing. I have put
the first piece online (it's in table format, so not suitable for e-mail),
and would welcome any feedback/crit, if someone cares to visit the piece.
It's our first such piece, but we're working on a second one that has a
slightly different approach (or not - I can't be entirely sure).
The piece can be found hgere:

Cheers,
Frank
