I just finished my final project for my City in Ruins course, which was a 60 page chapbook of poems, lyric essays, and photographs about ruins. The photos where taken by Linda and me (and one by my dad) of ruins in Louisiana both flood related and not. The poems were sort of persona/erotic/ruin poems, which can be said about all my work, probably.
This does not mean that I'll quit rambling about ruination. But I can probably throw a few non-academic things around, occasionally.
Semester starts this week and will be taking Erotics of Visuality, which is about portrayals of desire and sex in film, I guess. Workshop and poetry reading. Etc.
Because I've been such an asshole, I leave you with a photo from my project:
This was taken in Dulac, Louisiana. It is an abandoned boat filled with marsh grass.

Post more, I say. I'm really eager to read more of your work--since we've last spoken the book I've been working on has relied heavily on the ideas of erosion and decay as applied to cities. These ideas being only in my head, rather than researched or expanded. I'd love to see another slant on them.
