Collage is a medium so wide-ranging and diverse that is often not taken seriously in the arts community; a situation that we would really like to change. Those of us who are working on starting the guild believe that the participants should set the goals and aspirations right from the start. We want to know how often you would like to meet, what activities you woul …

… Talk of poetry turns too often to talk about the poet (and this is true for any of the arts) and forgets the craft. Here's something Foucault says about the necessity of the author: I think that, as our society changes, at the very moment when it is the process of changing, that the author function will disappear, and in such a manner that fiction and its polysemous texts will once again function according to another mode... one which will have to be determined, or perhaps, experienced.
