After draining my heart of sap build-up, I started thinking about the idea of mixing music; how to do it, what holds songs together, the purpose of a mix, and so on. Then I realized I know very little about music, and don&#8217;t care about music as much as I care about poetry. So, I decided to make mixes of poems instead.<\/p>\n<p>In the nascent spirit of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.warrenellis.com\/?p=6963\">papernet<\/a>, I&#8217;m going to post PDFs of these mixes (on what schedule, I have no idea). My friend, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tofermoran.com\">Tofer Moran<\/a>, designer, artist, musician and et-cetera-extraordinaire, is helping me lay it out.\u00c2\u00a0 He had the idea to make it one zoo-map-like sheet, as opposed to my idea of cutting books and stapling and so forth. This is why I pass ideas through my friends. Because their ideas are good. And less work. The single sheet is more true to the idea of papernet, and it looks so cool; you would not believe it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bricabrac<\/em> (the title was his idea also) will be one 11&#8243;x17&#8243; sheet, folded into eight sections, surrounded by another 8.5&#8243;x11&#8243; sheet folded into an envelope. You&#8217;ll be able to print it out and assemble it yourself, or you can email me your address and I&#8217;ll mail you one I put together. I might read the poems aloud and post the recording as well; I&#8217;m not sure. I&#8217;ll almost certainly read <a href=\"http:\/\/paulboccaccio.com\/work\/\">my own poems<\/a> aloud at some point.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never edited an antholody, or magazine, or even made a mix of music, so I have no idea what I&#8217;m doing. That&#8217;s ok by me. There&#8217;s no real criteria for these poems, they&#8217;re just the ones I&#8217;ve noticed lately. And if you love a particular poem or poet, let me know down there in the comments. <em>Bricabrac<\/em> is all about sharing good poetry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A month or so ago I watched Nick and Norah&#8217;s Infinite Playlist and loved it (Michael Cera exudes the Neeson effect: he makes otherwise mediocre movies watchable).
