Ideas about heat from one hub of this network, a hub which allows this hub to connect with other idea hubs in the mind.

This video poam explores how war and other physically, emotionally, and psychologically turbulent situations affect attempts to do laundry in an otherwise comfortable urban location.
The update became necessary when external hard drive failure caused the loss of some of the source files. This piece is the outcome of salvage, replacement, and reinvention.
Thank you, Evie, for asking for a poam when I was doing laundry. Thank you, Ansted for all the dirty socks and for images of me draped with laundry.

Featuring more images by Ansted Moss, the update became necessary to make when an external hard drive failure destroyed some of the source files. The update is an outcome of salvage, replacement, and reinvention.
The sound poam portion comes from a print piece prepared for MiPO (mipoesias.com), guest edited by Evie Shockley.

Limited Fork Video AnthologyLatticed Shadowbox SuiteThis video poam is an unintended collaboration that in the lack of intention becomes a lattice itself, a community of interactions from multiple locations intersecting on a number of levels (or lattices). The compatibility of KC's video, and the spoken language with Ansted's images seems designed rather than incidental, yet it wasn't until I had these separate components for the Gallery exhibit component of "Pleasurable Complexity" Limited Fork poetry event that I realized the benefit of seeing the separate pieces together, allowing them to speak a shared language in addition to the multiple levels of saying in their separate languages...2006-09-2400 minLimited ForkLatticed Shadowbox SuiteThis video poam is an unintended collaboration that in the lack of intention becomes a lattice itself, a community of interactions from multiple locations intersecting on a number of levels (or lattices).

During a meeting, some parents wanted to ban a required ninth-grade ancestry assignment that was embarrassing, humiliating, and demeaning for disclosing that their sons could trace their ancestry no further than slavery. Right away, I realized the need for other models of slavery so that the shame being experienced could be attached to a broader, and I felt, likely more accurate context, one more...2006-09-2300 minLimited Fork Video AnthologyProject Genealogy (why I wrote SLAVE MOTH)This movie poam from May 2005 explores what led me to write the narrative-in-verse SLAVE MOTH when my son, the composer of the soundtrack for this short piece, was in sixth grade at a grade-six-through-twelve school.
