Starbuck Leone reps the Gonch language project with a pithy statement. By the way, he despises cat shaming videos and would like to see them all die in a flurry of gonch nonsense.

Gonch cat #1
Here’s Starbuck Leone repping the Gonch project in a backlash against those cat shaming videos and photos.
Gonch is the root of a post-everything language, and at this point, probably more effective than American English at conveying truth and meaning.
5 video stills published in M58 journal
Just discovered that experimental poetry journal published five visual poems on March 12. Check out the images here.
These were pulled from my video Succubus Highway, which was previously published on YouTube.
“Drowned Lands I-V” and 7 film stills published in Otoliths #48
The first Otoliths of 2018 was released today; this is number 48 for the journal, and as usual it’s packed with innovative texts, visual poetry, and imagery from all over the world. The issue also includes some of my work: “Drowned Lands I-V” and seven film stills. The text work is part of my “Civilization’s Lost” series, examining the fragility of languages, cultures and nations. This piece is in five parts, each based on a different lost city, civilization or continent. You can read the full poem here.
The film stills can be found under another link here. All seven images come from a video that has yet to be edited into its final form. Some of the text was drawn from a spam email and reads “Feel the call of your body.” Other text comes from the captioning on the source footage. I recently recorded some new music, so perhaps that will motivate the final assembly of the video.
“In the Engine Room” and 6 vispo in Angry Old Man
The second issue of Angry Old Man was unleashed on the world last night. A massive issue of experimental works in many media, this one contains my text poem “In the Engine Room with Bettie & Andrea” and six video stills. You can check out the full poem here, and the vispo here.
“Silenced Scribes” video still
Still taken from the raw footage that became “Silenced Scribes.” Watch the finished video on YouTube here.
The original text reads “the words live on/despite the cold and dark/that silenced scribes.”
5 video stills published at The New Post-Literate
On of my favorite places for online inspiration, The New Post-Literate is a literary blog dedicated to asemic writing (that is, it appears to be writing, but may not have semantic function). Today five of my video stills with strong asemic elements appeared on the site. These come from an as-yet-unpublished piece, with text drawn from an older poem called “Shit on a Stick Corporation” published by Zombie Logic Press. You can check out all the images here.
Visual poem published in H&
H& is “an occasional journal of visual/concrete poetry and assorted other oddities.” Today, the vispo blog published another of the video stills from “Succubus Highway.” Although the text is distorted from the heavy video processing, the original reads “Wherever there are ruins/lies like flames/dance across time.” Full image available here.
Visual poem in H&
Visual poetry blog H& features a wide variety of image based poems and pseudo-textual experiments. Yesterday, a video still from “Succubus Highway” was posted to the site. You can see the image here. The image includes text veering into asemic territory due to heavy video processing, but the original words read “Wherever there are ruins/lies like flames/dance across time.”
The video itself can be viewed here.
“Hashing the Input” with related video and stills in Otoliths
Otoliths #46, the southern autumn issue, is finally live on the web. A massive collection of visual, textual and video works, the issue includes my text poem “Hashing the Input” along with a link to the “Succubus Highway” video poem, and six stills from that video piece. The stills and video incorporate a section of the text piece: “lies like flames dance across time.” You can check out the whole package here.
