The International Shadows Project is an ongoing grass roots
condemnation of nuclear weapons and the use of nuclear energy through an
alliance of arts, particularly mail art and performance. As such it is also an
ongoing celebration of life in the face of unmitigated evil, as well as an
extensive documentation, with copious examples, of mail and performance art.
SURVEYS:
Surveys are smaller than home pages, but go into the depth and variety
of the work of each contributor. They thus form an intermediate stage
between signle entries and home pages - and give us another means among
the many possibilities we explore of presenting the work of contemporary
poets. The first surveys were specifically meant to be of the work of
visual poets. More rescent additions have included more work by people
working in other genres.
