"Thom the World poet, is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

TRANSMEDIATION
This story has no visa/no passport-it translates at
borders
and
is seldom shaken down via TSA or FBI
iPads
have fantasy games now-like life/you create a character
but
then you enter a virtual online world
to
be a part of the eternal mythic battle of "good"versus"evil"
The
twist is this-such games derive from contemporary novels-
both
book and game informing and expanding upon each other
Stories
are eternal-modes of sharing change and mutate
Traditional
"book"publishing is now augmented with video games
social
media and mobile devices like the iPad.
Digital
and interactive modes expand possibilities and complexities .
"Limo"hybrid
storytelling began with fantasy games-now"cross-platform"sharings
seek
social influence via "Wisdom acts"and community participation.
Interaction
is the future-passive texts the pasts
Now
-get up and DO SOMETHING!Write your future art!
