What is interdimensional poetry? It is many things, multidimensionally spea
king, perhaps including:
+ a sense of humor.
+ attention to the power of ritual and performance.
+ a laboratory for new symbolic frames wherein personal and collective identities are consciously shaped and refashioned.
+ the way words mean many things at once and elsewise, forming constellations.
+ an alternative to postmodern irony.
+ investigations into consciousness and worlds beyond the measurable.
+ interest in a sustainable, aesthetically-inspired worldview.
+ creative exploration of potential--possible worlds, ways of knowing, states of being, forms of communication and communion--without a final resting point.
+ creative decisions as probes for further possibilities. "The world is made of words, and if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish." - Terence McKenna
"A noumenal world, a world of hyperspace, of higher dimensions, awaits discovery by all the sciences, which it will unite and unify--awaits discovery under its first aspect of a realm of patterned relations, inconceivably manifold, yet bearing a recognizable affinity to the rich and systematic organization of language, including au fond mathematics and music, which are ultimately of the same kind." - Benjamin Lee Whorf
