CALL FOR WORKS
"There are thoughts we can only have while walking...our minds are
motion-sensitive and they are site-specific. We think, shaped by the
places through which we are moving, and the ways in which we are moving
through them."
--Robert MacFarlane
For the month of May I will be guest-editing the poetry blog, Truck:
http://halvard-johnson.blogspot.com/
For May's edition of Truck I am looking for:
1) Walking-based works from walking artists, psychogeographers, poets,
photographers, scribblers, and sound artists.
2) Texts that explore the landscape through the intimate filter of the
walk: found poetry from signage or graffiti, remembrances of scents
carried by the breeze, or reflections on the ever-changing soundscape
encountered on the walk (what Steven Feld refers to as
Acoustemology--knowing the world through sound).
3) Works actually composed during the act of walking, scribbled in a
moleskin notebook or thumbed into a smartphone.
4) Essays, manifestos, conversations, or reflections on the landscape,
the walking experience, constrained walks, mapping, field recording,
soundwalks, or other interventions.
5) I am also looking for responses (exquisite corpse, remix, etc.) to
the following prompt:
We buy ugly houses. A nun in a rusty
Cadillac blows by a stop sign. Sunday
morning in the Richmond. My window
is a watercolor, the ringing of blue bells.
++++
Work accepted for the month of May may be published under a Creative
Commons license so that others can sample the work and feed the results
back into the conversation.
Send text in the body of the e-mail or as a PDF (no Word docs), along
with links to visual or sound-based work, to [log in to unmask]
Deadline is May 26, 2014.
Best,
Glenn
