PROMPT! Zine #3: Let's Start Over (or: A Reason I Never Returned)
Prompt! Zine #3 is a collaborative zine. You are invited to take anything from the enclosed poems do with them what you will via any medium, and however you want. Pull the poem apart, yell at it, fart on it, burn it and dance around the flames, document it, film it, make some sort of weirdo audio, cut it, mark it, make art out of it, maybe even bless it (I welcome it all!). Your work is to make the poem into something else and call it your own.
This collaborative experiment is an extension of an exercise I participated in over Covid isolations in TC Tolbert’s “The Freedom in the Constraint“workshop. At some point in the workshop, a poem was offered to the whole workshop group. Each individual in the group then wrote their own version of the poem, sometimes borrowing lines and ideas, sometimes creating cuttings and whole new poems.
I have long wanted to repeat and expand upon this exercise, and created a zine that I can send in the mail or a PDF download. The physical zine is printed on my handy dandy inkjet printer and sent via snailmail. The zine is printed on standard sized light cardstock paper, and comes with a free 3x3 sticker (“My Energetics Are Not Set Up To Deal With Bullshit”).
