    "why reinvent the wheel online via an all-pixel dream?"

    Noted poet Kenward Elmslie asks this question in this live reading of Cyberspace, a book-length poem. Cyberspace, a book-length poem that resulted from a collaboration between Elmslie, artist Trevor Winkfield, three issues of WIRED magazine and a half a century of cut-up experimentation mixed together on "blend."

    The Kenward Elmslie channel also includes a live reading of Nite Soil, a "book" of collage-poems, as well as a few selected cuts from "The Grass Harp," a Broadway musical where Elmslie served as the librettist.

    Both books are available from Granary Books.
