thank you again for your work, mark! we are thrilled to have your pieces in taper 15! @taperzine.bsky.social

This Taper issue is themed around the idea of midpoints and intersections, and other associations of the number 15. My second piece in the issue (again, under 2Kb!) is a Tarot Card reading in which the Devil card is repeatedly drawn and increasingly corrupted.

Taper #15 is out. Each issue contains tiny computational poems centered around a theme. The complete code must be under 2Kb. One of my pieces in the issue is an interactive erasure of Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, in which only half the poem can ever be visible at once.

i was honored to be a featured presenter at wordhack at @wonderville.nyc in august, organized by @toddwords.bsky.social, and sharing a lineup with @cyberdoula.bsky.social and @docmofo.bsky.social

i've recently had a couple of opportunities to speak about my tiny, occasional computational poetry practice. here's a little handmade website i made to aid both talks: coyote.computer/wordhack
