I have participated in many collaborations over the years. I very much enjoyed this one on the form haynaku which, until I found it in this series on the listserv, was unknown to me.

I don't mind becoming one of Nicole's (new) poet-contacts. Great stuff here! I'm completely sold. I accept the invitation. Hello Nicole (and all others),

Although this location isn’t the clearinghouse for making that chain of poets who will write a chained hay(na)ku, I’m open to being in the chain with any poets who happen to use this location seeking links in the writing chain. I don’t mind becoming one of Nicole’s (new) poet-contacts.

Great stuff here! I’m completely sold. I accept the invitation.

What needs to happen is you hook up with your poet-contacts so that at least three of you get together on your own to write a chained hay(na)ku. It's after you've created your version that you then can contribute it to the project. But thanks for your interest! Hope you find others to write a chained hay(na)ku! best, Eileen Hi Nicole,

I've been writing a paper on the film adaptation of <i>V for Vendetta</i> (originally a graphic novel). Alan Moore, the writer, emphasizes in an article how the story is strictly the outcome of teamwork between him and David Lloyd, the illustrator. They did this novel in 1983, so there was no Internet, and they mainly collaborated via the post and phone calling each other. Some quotes that made me think of the experience of working the four of us together in this poem are the following, which I wanted to share with you, hoping you don't mind my using this space for such a thing: "It is the history of any strip or book or whatever, this is the moment where you get your real reward... the moment when all of the half-ideas and idiocies gel into something that is much more than the sum of its parts and thus entirely unexpected and utterly beautiful". (273) "Of course, as a comic strip begins to grow beyond its creators one experiences a certain feeling of nervousness at not knowing where the strip is going to go next. On the other hand, there is a massive sense of excitement and creativity in such an unrestricted venture. I suppose it must be feel like surfing on a tidal wave... it feels great while you're doing it but you're not really sure of either where you're going to end up or whether you'll still be one piece when you get there."
