One last preview before Issue One comes out on Friday. Here is a text file featuring every word in Really System Issue One (excluding poets’ names), organized by word frequency (1 → n) & alphabetized. Planning to have some fun with this in the coming weeks. Feel free to do the same.

Really System Issue One Composite
If you were wondering where the words in Issue One crowd around the page, here is an image of the text of each poem overlaid. If you pay close attention, you can read a few bits here and there, but you can also get a sense of the forms the poems in the issue tend to take.
The overall effect reminds me of the cover to Magus Magnus’s book The Re-Echoes, which I highly recommend.
