 Sour
Grapes or The Why it's Safer Not to Get Published
Rant (2003) |
| Further Millie Niss is
a web artist, poet, and activist on behalf of persons
with
mental illness. She has work on line in trAce, Beehive,
Rhizomes/hyperrhiz,
The Museum of the Essential and Beyond (Brazil),
bannerart.org, and others.
She has published poems in newspapers, including
the Buffalo News several
times. She can usually be found in front of her
computer, listening to
National Public Radio or the World Service (she
is a news junkie). Or else
she is at a bookstore, often visiting 3 such establishments
in one day. She
is buried in books. Maybe the advent of the electronic
book will save her,
otherwise she will accumulate so many that she cannot
move. Millie runs a
poetry workshop for mentally ill people, but otherwise
does not get out
enough. She is actively looking for people to make
web art with or work on
her grand(iose) computer projects for the mental
health community. Her
website is www.sporkworld.org (you can find the
adventures of Spork the
Schizophrenic Skua there, among other things) and
her most recent
publication online on a site other than her own
is the "cartoon bathroom,"
featuring Spork, for the Musueum of the Essential
and Beyond, a
http://arteonline.arq.br/museu/bathroom . Another
recent piece is "No War"
