ATLAS PERIPATETIC

Atlas Peripatetic is the first, and, so far, the most extensive, project in the Atlas series. The main component is an extended sequence of poems inspired by the sounds of my morning walk. Each chapter is an improvisation/meditation on a sound or grouping of sounds from an extensive spreadsheet of sounds documented over the span of six months in 2003. Other components include a series of cameraphone panoramas, a bird count, and a map of the sidewalk along the route.

I also wrote an extended artist statement that details some of the historical and philosophical underpinnings of the project.

The writing and editing of the poem sequence continues. Divided into twenty "maps" that correspond to the distinct legs of the walk, the poem serves as both improvised map of the walk and as a meditation on the disparate connections suggested by sounds and their sources.
