just found this in my BirdBrain book, seems relevant to our interests:
Your family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by electric media [...] far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world's a sage...
- Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage

I really like the second poem you posted Riv. That's a good idea posting the collection to Dropbox. I might do that with the project my poems were from as you'll be able to see the pictures then.
Excellent quote too.

Nice poems, Riven!
You posting that quote reminds me how my media teacher in high school was really into McLuhan. It's nifty how he's still super relevant even decades on.

Beth I was really moved by your poem about the miner, being from the Valleys it's something that I always feel really connected to. You ladies are very talented
