Collaboration: Marie Wintzer (Japan) (Flowsounds) and Cheryl Penn

 

MoJoian 5 Babel

As part of the Visual Poetry class in the Right of Writing module, I used the Babel collaboration as a collaborative exercise. It was the first time quite a few participants had been given a severe time limit to add/subtract from a creative exercise. I'm, hugely pleased with the result - I think so will they be when I show them tomorrow!  As we only had an hour left by the time we begun this, with 6 participants, everyone got 10 minutes...a hard task indeed! Each participant had a copy in a round-robin exercise, so more results will come to light.

Babel Collaboration # 2 - Cheryl Penn and Jackie Freer (South Africa)

I have at last got to copying this collaboration which Jax finished a good 2 weeks ago. It's a beauty - loaded with visual poetry, Babel and cross references, things red and well-read. Pale letters and whispered phrases, doomed utterances and leaking letters: "Big head, never mind Big Foot" - babble - something we're all still so good at. Block by block, letter by letter, pride is still our downfall - confusion reigns still.
