It was a great event!
After Charles Bernstein welcomed everyone, Stuart and I started off – I was acting as reader and interviewer. I navigated through some of Victory Garden, Hegirascope (version 2), Marginal Effects, Reagan Library, and Pax while Stuart read. We had a bit of discussion during this phase, too, and I hope the reader/author setup helped to show some about how these pieces worked.
Then, Stuart showed us two new pieces which he’s still polishing: Deep Surface (an updated version of Diver, which he showed at Brown) and Endlessly Feeding the Desert. We had some good questions and discussion afterwards as well.
It was great fun for me, and I hope for Stuart as well, and I’m sure it was an interesting look at electronic literature for the folks who attended.
