I went to West Texas and started writing a cycle of Americana poems after the space conjured images that, as a child, I only saw on television-John Wayne, cowboys, borderlines.

Ultimately nothing divides us except the worlds and words we allow.
The digital and physical worlds are starting to come together more seamlessly - it's only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's coming.

There are many, many art worlds. Art contains multitudes.
