Subject: [NarcissusWorks] Mark Young's poems


An exceptional choice of poems, a great reading and a precise animated flash assembling for Mark Young on The Continental Review of Nicholas Manning. Do check it out. Here's Mark Young's announcement:

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

When I posted to my blog some time back an announcement by Nicholas Manning that he had started an online journal, The Continental Review , devoted to poetry videos, I noted that I hoped it wouldn't become a repository just for talking heads ("don't forget the shoulders," added Nicholas in the comments boxes).

Since then, amongst the poets who have appeared are a number associated with Otoliths; verbal — Tom Beckett, Jordan Stempleman, Eileen Tabios, Jill Jones — & visual — Spencer Selby, Nico Vassilakis. But I felt I should do something about my original statement & practice what I preach, as it were.

So finally, thanks to the informal Networks sans Frontières that create community in our (electronic) world, & especially thanks to the creative genius of Marko Niemi, substance has replaced pontifical stance. A video, working title "Three from Series Magritte", has just gone up at The Continental Review

The poems included are:
The Flavour of Tears
Not to be Reproduced
The Art of Conversation
all from from Series Magritte, published by Moria Books.

The readings by Miia Toivio first appeared on Toisen äänellä – In Another´s Voice
on the Nokturno.org website.

The design concept & the animated flash file are by Marko Niemi without whom this project would never have been realized.

Check it out at The Continental Review .

Think about contributing your videos.

Cheers
Mark Young
