As certain as I am uncertain of access to “the real,” I’m always testing that periphery.

I’ve author’d the sound-imaging poem Vaast Bin (Calamari Press) and other assorted language art and sound works. I cut my teeth in the rock group PoemRocket. These exploits were documented on labels such as Atavistic—the Chicago avant jazz and rock label—and other renowned underground labels. I continue to explore sound-imaging in solo performances, installations, and improvisational collaborations with the likes of Al Margolis, Area C, Jack Wright, and the Be Blank Consort. Visual-poetic manifestations are in avant-garde libraries and special collections like the Sackner Archive and appear in galleries, journals, and anthologies—The Last Vispo Anthology:1998 – 2008 is the latest. BrightPink Mosquitounarmed, SleepingFish, Word for/Word, BathHouseHypermedia JournalSous Rature, and Hyperrhiz: New Media Cultures are a few of the journals publishing variants of my writing. Right now, I’m working a book on sound environment programming.  http://www.michael-peters.com/
