Author Description

This book stands on its own feet as innovative writing in the 21st century. Its themes are expansive, covering sources of poetic language from the Chauvet Caves through the physical mouth, etymons, singular examples of world architectures, Robin Blaser's liminal sources of inspiration, Japanese zodiac cyles, and the productive cross-cultural contexts of medieval Andalusian mudejar aesthetics. Additionally, Luna Lunera comes to us honed through multi-media and multi-genre contexts -- notable digital poetry (machine-enabled assemblages of variant lines) and performing arts (in particular cross-over with contemporary theater dance performance). It is a journey from pre-language through computer language through human languages (Spanish, French, and indigenous) to an idiom of the mezcla (the cultural mix) of the first order. LUNA LUNERA IS A UNPARALLELED LABORATORY OF THE POETICS OF DIGITAL POETRY -- AND SO MUCH MORE: a watershed of expressive language art exemplifies one path towards new realizations of word arts. Luna Lunera uniquely pursues this path and arrives at a new vision of the post-contemporary, post-quantum realization of poiesis. In this world everywhere is here and here is where we set out.
