The Poster as Postcard: "My tremor" (qbdp # 75)

The Hotel Pennsylvania, Room 559, New York, New York

Last Saturday, while in Somerville, Massachusetts, for the VisionSound/SoundVision III exhibit and performance series, I received 100 postcards of my large-scale visual poem, "My tremor," which is designed to be a poster. Though miniaturized for that occasion, the poem still seems to work (but the two green lines of text do not show up as well).

Because these postcards were so glossy, I had to use fine-point Sharpies to cut the addresses and notes into this card--and, even so, the cards seemed to suck all the moisture out of the Sharpies quickly. This caused me to change pens frequently as I wrote on the back of the cards. Fortunately, I included but a one-word message on each card--one designed to be meaningful for the recipient. (In the case of my message to myself this single word was "mine.")
