I'm excited to be included in the new multimedia issue of MiPOesias, along with Sheila Squillante, Edward Nudelman, Joshua Gray, Sam Rasnake, Samuel Peralta, Ken Taylor, Jenny Sadre-Orafai, Jack Anders, Terry Lucas, Rena Rossner, Jill Khoury, and Timothy Brainard.
This was a Found Poetry issue, edited by Joshua Gray and Didi Menendez, who is making use of technology, by incorporating text, photographs, and audio recordings of the poets reading their poems into a free iPad issue format.
iPad users can download the issue for free through iTunes,
but you can also scroll through a non-iPad version of the issue (without the audio recordings) here:

It started out with a call for "found poems" generated from your 2012 facebook timeline, but there's also an essay about found poetry by Jack Anders and a cool "erasure poem" based on Chapter 1 of Einstein's 'Relativity: The Special and General Theory' by Samuel Peralta.
My poem is mostly status update lines twisted out of context in some way and spliced with a line from a rejection letter and a good atlas quote that I overheard in conversation with Jeff Falk.
Several facebook-ish photographs accompany each poem. One of mine is of Ernesto Moncada sketching the poets who attended the December Caffeine Corridor Poetry Series reading that I co-host with Jack Evans. Our art gallery venue was closing down at the end of the year, so I thought it would be cool to sneak some of those familiar faces into MiPOesias.
