Lex-Icon Blog Project Post 66 : Philip John Davenport

  

APPEAL IN AIR

 

“APPEAL IN AIR is a poetic sequence which subverts the form of the spreadsheet into an expressive tool. It incorporates 'vispo' as well as many other poetic strategies. The piece is based on a found conversation about suicide.”—Philip John Davenport
