Re: [-empyre-] thank you -empyre: it was great to get to know more of you!

[Mairead Byrne]

--empyre- soft-skinned space--If John can be late, I can too, especially as I'm bamboozled by time
differences having been in four countries, some of them four times, in four
days.

I'm just a poet, which is also the height of my ambition, interested in
performance, more and more interested in sound.  Recent publications
include *You Have to Laugh: New + Selected Poems *(New York: Barrow Street,
2013), *Jennifer's Family*, photographs by Louisa Marie Summer, texts by
Mairéad Byrne from recordings by Mairéad Byrne and Louisa Marie Summer
(Amsterdam: Schilt, 2012), *Lucky*, with illustrations by Abigail Lingford
(Houston, TX: Little Red Leaves, 2011), and  *The Best of (What's Left
of) *Heaven
(Baltimore: Publishing Genius, 2010).  I'm a Professor of Poetry + Poetics
at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and am currently in Rome,
serving as Chief Critic to RISD's European Honors Program, until the end of
this year.  For five and a half years I curated *couscous*, a diverse
monthly poetry / music / performance community event in Providence, and
elsewhere.  It's over now.  On to other things.

I feel that this list, even reading the bios submitted in June, will help
me re-think my purpose, and possibilities.

I'm looking forward to that!

John Cayley makes digital language art, particularly in the domain of poetry 
and poetics. Recent and ongoing projects include How It Is in Common Tongues, a 
part of the The Readers Project with Daniel C. Howe (thereadersproject.org), 
imposition with Giles Perring, riverIsland, and what we will ... Information on 
these and other works may be consulted at programmatology.shadoof.net. Cayley 
is Professor of Literary Arts at Brown University. Recently Cayley has become 
obsessed, agonistically, by Writing to be Found with=against language-driven 
network services.

Recent/forthcoming:
How It Is in Common Tongues with Daniel C. Howe. This artists' book is composed 
by searching for the text of Samuel Beckett's How It Is using a universally 
accessible search engine, attempting to find, in sequence, the longest common 
phrases from How It Is that were composed by writers or writing machines other 
than Beckett. These phrases are quoted from a portion of the commons of 
language that happens to have been indexed by a well-known service. Notes at 
the bottom of each page give the shortest URL that we were able to retrieve for 
the phrases cited. The first in a sequence of citations provides, in 
parentheses, the date when we found the phrase on the give web page. The number 
following the date (or 'id.') is the total number of occurrences found for the 
phrase. Compare: Stéphanie Vilayphiou's 'La carte ou le territoire'

Me too - it's such a pleasure to read what everyone's been up to . I learned so 
much from all of you when I was moderating the list Thanks everyone _ 
This will inspire me to lead another discussion in the near future ! 
Great idea Renate and Tim. Now we know for sure:  lurkers rock.
