This poem is a multimedia mashup of poems by Mary Mackey, Tulip Temple, and Carmen Firan, along with paintings by Amy Bernays brought together on a presentation tool called Prezi. Marino takes advantage of this tool’s capacity for positioning, layering, scaling, and zooming path creation to arrange these visual and textual materials in a way that truly remixes them into a new poetic experience. By juxtaposing texts from disparate sources in different formatting, he places their voices in conversation. At least one of these is already in conversation with T. S. Eliot’s poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” By arranging them within paintings (with zooming that highlights their brushed materiality) he adds a sense of place to these voices.
