Rejected vispo from the "Liquid Pleistocene" section

Rejected vispo from the "Liquid Pleistocene" section 

of Sunset Over Black Mountain by De Villo Sloan

January snowstorms are making a perfect backdrop for the design work on Sunset Over Black Mountain. The first section - "Liquid Pleistocene (for Jack Clarke)" - is complete. I sifted through many drafts to find 16 pages I like. I am sharing some of the cuts I like but do not fit the concept perfectly. The next section is "New Space Poetics (for Albert Glover).

Excerpts from "Sunset Over Black Mountain: Liquid Pleistocene (for Jack Clarke)" by De Villo Sloan

 

Vispo (reject) from Sunset Over Black Mountain: Liquid Pleistocene 

(for Jack Clarke) by De Villo Sloan (December 30, 2024)

Currently, I am making final selections & doing the layout for my forthcoming book Sunset Over Black Mountain. This book is composed of three visual poetry sequences. The first is "Liquid Pleistocene (for Jack Clarke)."

Due to space & thematic considerations, I have had to omit many, what I believe to be, worthwhile poems from the final selection. So I will utilize the blog to share work that might never see the light of day elsewhere. And I can provide some early promotion.
