Background
We talked about creating a poem or series of poems that take the cable news format as inspiration.
This could involve visual layout. The text in the center of the page could be shaped like a head.
The crawl text would repeat after a while, at the bottom.
Go ahead and click Edit over on the right to edit this page.
I thought of Jack Spicer, with the alien commentary running along at the bottom. Isn't that Jack Spicer? Or Am I thinking of Lew Welch with Ring of Bone?
We could vary the fonts based on the area of the "screen" where the text appears.
Screenshots
Screenshots of cable news? Should be able to add them with the "attachments" link on the right.
Parts
- The crawl. What kind of language is in the crawl? It repeats after awhile in a loop.
- The talking head. What kind of language comes out of the head?
Text
Write shit.
