Echo echo echo


sometimes writing can be like talking to yourself...

The thing about being an artist is this constant self-promotion..it can make one a bit nuts I have to admit. I think i'm going to have to start an Artist's Self-Promotion Support Unit...it's like being surrounded by a hall of mirrors..you see yourself, you hear yourself...

Besides an inveterate love of language which makes you write "her malachite decolletage," whatever else you need to be a good poet is here. It could be sounds. Come right in; don't step gently then - Bernadette Mayer

This photograph was taken by Kohi in Pakistan in 2007. It was inspired by an image of Marlene Dietrich in a white suit on a staircase.
