Forever Trespass
2007 Jul 11
“Forever Trespass” is a digital poem exploring the question, “Does the poem own the poet or the poet own poem?” The sound art for this piece was constructed from the 2D (2 directional) poem, “Forever Trespass“. The “normal” voice is reading the poem vertically (down the columns) and the “harmonized” voice is reading the same [...]
The Word, a digital poem
2007 Feb 08
Well I did it. Never wrote anything down. The images along with artwork and photos flooded my mind while I was in the shower. I went downstairs and started freestyling the audio. The sounds then shaped the animation. Suddenly I arrive somewhere I had never been–somewhere in the middle of groans, flashing color & splintered [...]
Digital poetry?
2007 Jan 22
The concept of digital creation in terms of making art & music seems straight forward enough — you use software to manipulate and/or create sounds or images in ways not possible before we had computers. But what is digital poetry and what electronic tools beyond digital distribution are available to muse maniacs and word artists? [...]
New Digital Art

Li Po Returns to His Lover in the Night
2006 Dec 02
In honor of the Poet Immortal who drowned trying to embrace the moon’s reflection in a river It is magical indeed how I fell without suffering into the watered moon- light, how I still breathe within the wind. Can you hear me rattle the leaves over your head moaning like your new lover against the dark earth? Do you feel it now, my smooth hand sweeps the hair from [...]

Where We ReachWhere We Reach (book)

Where We Reach is an exotic romp in the mundane. Nothing special here but that which is special in each of us. With brutal honesty and sometimes acrid humor, M. D. Friedman soars and stumbles from confusion to love. This is his fourth poetry book in five years and includes many poems inspired by various works of art. M. D.’s photos enrich the visual experience of the reader. M. D. walks in and out of the artwork like it was a grocery store usually leaving with what he needs and without getting hurt.

Where We Reach is passionate, well-crafted, and deeply insightful poetry. [M. D.’s] control of sound and language is excellent. … a particularly unique, very powerful voice and set of insights as well: …[His] understanding of the cross-connection of the arts, and … ability to read artists of other genres, is both extraordinary and very, very moving. ` Jared Smith
