- "Flights of Gravity", originally intended to be a section of a senior project at Bard College, is now an autonomous selection of nine line poem "flights" closed off by two longer counterparts. They will continue to live, hover, and dive as they must. 1000 BOOKS BY 1000 POETS Over the course of two months—from January to March of 2014 — 89plus and LUMA Foundation will publish 1000 books by 1000 poets born in 1989 and after. Hand-picked by a group of advisors on every continent, this series will be the first-ever attempt to survey the global poetic production of an emerging generation. Each poet will determine the content and length of their book including unpublished full-length manuscripts
cobbled together collections of occasional poems
durational conceptual works spanning hundreds of pages
repurposed texts
texts which have previously been published in book form
texts which have previously been published online
visual and concrete poems, but to name a few. All books will constitute a physical library which will travel to various sites — galleries, museums, and universities — around the world. All books will be edited, designed, and produced by teams of 89plus poets-in-residence and designers in Zürich at LUMA/Westbau during the duration of the show, Poetry will be made by all! and made available on Lulu’s print-on-demand service.
