“NERVELESS” | Interactive Installation

A site-specific poetry installation based on D.H. Lawrence's "Autumn at Taos," "Nerveless" seeks to unite Taos's literary culture with a visual language of place. The text of my poem, "Summer at Taos", will be crafted from found material, and the Taos community is invited to submit seasonal poetry as part of an interactive blog. Think about Taos's changing seasons. What are the atmospherics of place? Can we complete the tapestry that Lawrence began? Email poems to sdr.arts@gmail.com (no deadline). Poems will be posted seasonally at www.nervelesstaos.wordpress.com. Writers can tweet micro-poems using the hashtag #nervelesstaos.
