Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget that copies of "SWAN : a love
story" are still available both free in PDF format and at cost in
hardcopy, in which form the aleatory nature of the poem can be
experienced. From the blurb:
http://rhubarbissusan.blogspot.com/2005/04/swan-love-story.html
"There are precisely 304,888,344,611,713,860,501,504,000,000 different
possible poems that can be produced by shuffling the cards. If you speed
read each possible combination, taking one second per card, it would take
you approximately 200 billion times the age of the Universe. The most
reasonable way to read every possible permutation of SWAN is to turn every
star in the galaxy into a thinking, poetry appriciating being. Then a
complete reading, if it began at the birth of the Milky Way, would be
almost finished by now. This makes SWAN : a love story not only a
beautiful work of prose, but exceptional value too."
