Voila

Our team (Team 1, I think: Robert R., Robert H., Seth, and Patrick) decided to make the subject of arrival our first topic of collaboration. Since we are a hybridized group, certainly in an hybridized community, we allowed our poem to be itself a hybridized form involving lyric, narrative, and prose. Seth is a native to the area, so his arrival is more of a coming to terms with a place, and a history. Our final resulting poem, situated in 4 stanzas, ended up covering a wide range of arrivals involving a wide array of image systems and interactions both visceral and ephemeral. We'll likelt try infusing more of our lines within one another in furture collaborations, but for this piece we decided how our own poetic voices would initially arrive at one another, and will eventuallt be worked into one another, as a a person would more naturally adjust to a new space. Form should always inform content, right?

Much Love,

Robert.
