Limited Fork Music

This sound/poam/track, dedicated to Haesong Kwon and the CREAM CITY REVIEW where "The Culture of Snowmen" appeared as a print object poam, is a product of investigations of scale and simultaneity of activity in interactions in language systems, and is part of the Limited Fork Simultaneity Studies Series. This sound poam forms different structures (including structures of meanings) when it interacts with the video poam "Ostrich Culture of Snowmen" which is available in the Limited Fork podcast. The interactions are not limited to the sound poam and the video poam. Also in the Limited Fork podcast is a pdf of a small book of video stills from the video poam. The print object poam "The Culture of Snowmen" is part of TOKYO BUTTER, my new collection of poetry from Persea. Please send any requests for LFP information or for sonic and/or video forked treatment of any of my print object poams to thyliasm@umich.edu and I'll post the resulting poams to the appropriate Limited Fork podcast(s) as soon as the poams are

Poem from SLAVE MOTH a narrative-in-verse by Thylias Moss. Explores the interaction of music and text, another aspect of self that Varl, the adolescent enslaved female narrator of SLAVE MOTH, would not have wanted to suppress, and didn't --though maybe only she heard herself singing.
