i started this as an experimental site, hoping to show what different things link poetry can do. i have changed from link poetry to computer pop art, mostly because i'm a writing teacher & too busy for anything but visual arts. my other poetry site, e pluribus haiku, is more austere, simpler, but i intend this to be more playful, more experimental & try out some design features. it's also a tribute to my adopted hometown, carbondale illinois usa, for all it's worth- land of obama, home of the illinois central. it's still in progress, as you can see. many of the poems in the archives were originally stored in a href, home of link poetry, but i haven't really worked on them yet. this is all coming. so, come back...it will be ready in a while! -thomas leverett, site author
