Concerning into dry, they're - Collaged Poetry

Concerning into dry, they're is a series of five collaged poems I have completed - one of which appeared in an earlier post. I used found text, image and pen markings. I have no conceptual statement fully articulated yet - but I think they are perhaps largely explorations in mixing different understandings of size and representative scale.

The brave and the bold...

Occurences, which deeply affected me over the past three days - there were a series of things, I will not address them directly as events or as they occurred.

1. Pathologising non-normative writing and ways of seeing language. So, taking your writing somewhere else is what you do.

2. Organising "things" in the world depends upon external systems, good organisation depends upon using those systems and their "making" sense to us - what follows: "information" is that which makes sense to us, as if non-sensical (that is everything deviating from sense) is not information-meaning. (As if, making value judgments was all that ever mattered). Perhaps information and meaning are not the same thing, there is something here. What's more alarming: the interrogation of that which makes sense to us, these systems - cannot occur (?). There was also the assumption that language always accurately communicates what it means to say. Because language is always meaning/saying something - and not including nonsense words because they are not language (?). That is outside, and not the same action.
