Christine Tarantino/Words Of Light Mail Art

The Mail Art Network is an informal global network of artists to whom collaboration, cooperation, and correspondence without money are far more important than art for arts sake. Participants organize projects among themselves, outside the establishment-filtered art industry. The masterpiece is not a single artwork, but the infinite daily exchange of ideas. Mail Art changes the world, one 'peace' at a time. With great pleasure I announce the reactivation of this blog on March 21, 2011.

David Baptiste Chirot, USA

Feast of Starvation
Once remember well
That all this happened--
Life being a feast
Of walking-starving-
All hearts opened
In strange cities
All wines flowed
No one escapes--
Beauty found bitter
Left its mark

Lying wide awake-
Having armed myself-
Light and people move-
O this mind of hope
Make out a message
To gnaw while dying
