I can’t really do this anymore. That is, trying to find ways to “convince” anyone about the hazards of what I might clumsily term “digital visual reception.” But I will, I suppose, try to make as clear as I can my own concerns with the manner in which we “engage” in this “reception.” (And already I’m engaged in an oxymoron: engaged reception.) Being massively skeptical…
In Dark Dispersal
What is truer of Man’s believing than revelation; A complicated problem is only further complicated by being simplified. A state of confusion is never made comprehensible by being given a plot.

Vitruvius (and Lego) Against the Imagination
Perhaps you’ve seen the recent Lego movie. It’s gotten a good critical response based first on the ability of the “digital magicians” to make the action appear as if it were filmed via the manual (literally, by-hand) labor of stop-action animation. Next it is praised for its “parable” of standing against “business” practices and presenting a “subversive” view against the state of economic “construction” and…
The Poet Attempts To Explain His Poem
Common Errant: What goes into the making of your poems? Nemesis-Poet: Who knows? CE: One presumes you know. Or perhaps that you know something of this. NP: Well, I can only offer an interpretation and a critical response to each poem. That is, like you, I am a reader of the poem when I begin talking about the poem. CE: But at the least you…
