The inside is creation in this poem and how from there we move into a desire for more experiences or more creation. The poem then becomes interested in a host of images/thoughts/or creations. Later in the poem the media is invoked as a sort of invitation towards creation and her many deaths. The poem ends within the self who by this point is both claimed by hate and the love of all-consuming water.

What Sparks Poetry:
Douglas Luman on bpNichol's "First Screening"
"The poems are active; they literally reveal themselves. Even on what must be my hundredth viewing, the works are clever and moving solutions of poetic and technical 'problems.' Letters flutter, travel, disappear. Linguistic invention gives way to parallel, co-present visual-spatial metaphor. A romance occurs off screen in the code even if the viewer/user doesn't execute the author-provided code to see it happen ('Off-Screen Romance')." |
