The PoPedology of an Ambient Language / Torres, Edwin., 2007
Using ambient language"-fragments, excerpts, stage directions, echoes, conversation snippets, syntactic undulation, and rigorous sonic chaos -- Edwin Torres creates an alchemy of language, what he calls "electrobabble" and "algorithmictotem." Amid the fast-paced frenzy of his lyrical style, Torres finds an excited reason for hope and purpose: "one by one/ the rhythmic yuwanna/ will climb the fearist/ the murmuring yugottit/ will find the liminal/ the metronomed howboutit/ will catch the kicker." Amid such restless verbal motion, things will happen, things must happen; as order will emerge from disorder, a sense of calm gradually suffuses THE POPEDOLOGY OF AN AMBIENT LANGUAGE. "This all impossible/ But I appear it on page, so/ Becomes possible on way-through page." This book is also designated Atelos 29. The front cover title contains colored letters PAGE. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

We cannot move our feet for the mire the smoke mahes. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
