Description

The Keyboard Letters acknowledges the infinite variety of combinations of the alphabet that enable our different searches for meaning. As Captain Ahab after Moby Dick, and Salvadore Dali after images with which to arrange his frenetic world, QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM is after the building blocks of language that face the rough weather of North Central Texas and the rougher terrain along a county road. Poetry is a map, a cartography of the Daliesque discovery of America and the Pequodian discovery of the whale, breaking the ship into what can be seen as mathematic formulas. Poetry is a mathematics of language. Poetry after all is a vehicle after a whale. Or maybe poetry is the whale, breaking the Pequod into useable equations of language, which poetry is.
