Writing on the Wall:
Poetry by Lenore Weiss
Order The CellPhone Poems, a CD of poetry by Lenore Weiss and soundscapes by Paul Kirk
Cellphones have created new boundaries and fluid definitions between
public and private space. The Cellphone Poems explores this
convergence of spatial relationships. Interlaced with multiple
conversations, voices, personal stories, and outside intrusions, The
Cellphone Poems build to an awareness of our new place in the
world.
