The short paragraphs and discontinuities of the morning's emails, the overlapping texts and the need to switch one's focus between unrelated topics, together create a fragmentary world very like the text of The Atrocity Exhibition" (Miracles of Life, p. 237) _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live� SkyDrive�: Get 25 GB of free online storage. http://windowslive.com/online/skydrive?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_skydrive_042009 ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.
