The text from this poem, spoken by Bobby Chacon, is from the "A Loose Chacon Learns to Face the Facts," by Michael Katz, The New York Times, January 13, 1984: "We’re going to play a good game of catch... We’ve got two fighters here who like to fight. We love to get hit. We love to hit back."
“We’re going to play a good game of catch..."

This piece is a small memorial, like a little roadside shrine. You can only see the piece if you work together with the other people visiting the site at the same time, the piece will only reveal itself if more than half the people on the site are holding down the requested keys. It's not much, but I like this small feeling of togetherness, the small feeling of relying on someone else to get where you are going.

'Accumulation' was influenced by several strands of inquiry: reading Rachel Carson's book 'The Sea Around Us', an epic overview of what we knew about the sea in the 1950s; thinking about where our language comes from, its colonial history, and how it changes over time; and exploring how I want to make use of computation in my poetry practice. The text and layout were created in tandem and informed each other; this might be my first truly html-native poem.

Anonymous Animal is a 15 minute durational browser poem that runs every hour, on the hour.
Using the somewhat-outdated (and rather unstable) web technology of iframes to load and unload pages on a synced clock, Anonymous Animal guides visitors on a collective walk through links, images, wiki pages, and livestreams across the internet. It is an elegy for the era of cross-origin browser requests and off-site embeddable media, as well as a meditation on still being quietly online, together.

"the familiarity of this narrative does nothing to appease the hunger of recorded memory... in a very real sense, every writing as revision makes the discovery all over again"
