Colin Morton is a poet, fiction writer, and teacher, now experimenting with video poetry (“Primiti Too Taa” with Ed Ackerman) and having a life in Ottawa. His most recent poetry collections are Coastlines of the Archipelago (Buschekbooks) and Dance, Misery (Seraphim).

“Dance, Misery dives into the crowds of history, the great “us” as we stand sometimes in awe, sometimes in fear. Facing the Unknown Soldier, the London Blitz, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Colin Morton has the rare ability to think his way through a poem, setting a series of small fires in our brains, the language not only pleasing us with its careful rhythms but igniting our spirits as well, making us realize how integral we are to the planet’s survival, to the dream of amplitude and peace.”—Barry Dempster

“In the sixties-through-eighties, Vancouver’s Lionel Kearns produced video poems, visual poems, and poemy poems that were remarkably prescient in their relevance to contemporary digital poetics. This project presents that work by Kearns and meditates on its relation to contemporary digital poetics via putzing with Kearns’s work in interactive pieces.”

“A 3 minute film by Ed Ackerman and Colin Morton.”

“The film ‘Primiti Too Taa’ is at the intersection of many forms. It is a playful Concrete poem. A literal choreography. It is primitive sounds meeting their typed representation. The film is in memory of Kurt Schwitters. The film follows in the footsteps of Kurt Schwitters, with an influence of Norman Mclaren in its animated presentation.”
