The Octet Rule

Research output: Creative WorksTextual Works

Abstract

"I wrote this poem in sketches over a five-year period. It began in part with a provocation: how can applied rules open a work to unpredictable associations? When does the upshot exceed the constraint? The poem is interested in popular culture, sampling, experiment and the iLyric. Incidentally, the octet rule of atomic theory seems like a magnificent fiction."
