double acrostics, by Dan Waber

Oh sure, anybody can write an acrostic, who didn’t in school? But who among you can write a double acrostic, I ask? To write a proper double acrostic, you need to use a fixed pitch font (you know, like a typewriter) and make every line contain the same number of characters and/or spaces. Then you have a down-readable right edge in addition to the down-readable left edge. Sounds simple, huh? Maybe even “clever”. Give it a shot, go down in flames, and then buy this book. You’ll read ’em and weep.

echolalia, by Dan Waber

Every poem in this collection contains an “echo” made by reading the last word of each line, in a downward fashion. With one exception, every echo was written or spoken by poet (and love of my life) Jennifer Hill. Some come from poems or fictions she has written, but many come from places as mundane as jotted notes and SMS text messages.

<devin> oh i know

Atopia Journal: urg/üleistu, with contributions by a bunch of folks including Dan Waber

This issue of Atopia Journal presents diverse models of negotiations, communications, and resolutions, which occur within different spheres. These spheres can be divided into two categories: a chasm surrounded by disparity, or an overlay forged from commonality.

Each contributor in this publication examines the gaps and overlaps critical to a subject. Through artistic, scientific, political, and cultural work, they relate the spectrum of negotiation to the human experience. urg/üleistu is a literal translation into Mänti—a language developed by mathematic and linguistic savant Daniel Tammet—of the English phrase “gap/overlap.”
