GLYPY!

Avantgarde GLYPY, Extra Crispy, 3D Printer Plastic

You may start noticing GLYPY is everywhere on this website!

GLYPY is my mascot from a forthcoming book, GLYPH: Graphic Poetry = Trans. Sensory" (Tupelo Press, 2021). I am collaborating to create GLYPY with visual artists such as Tim Torres & Dara Yen Elerath. I think that there are currently five GLYPYs on my website.

This is my first attempt using a 3D printer program. I used Tinkercad, which was recommended by a RHINO Poetry Editor, Nick Tryling. This is a free 3D program and your local library may offer 3D printing services for a really reasonable price with professional assistance.

I love this first physical GLYPY attempt - so me - kind of messy & nonsensical. The first time I showed it to ​Angela Narciso Torres & Dara Yen Elerath, they started texting me GLYPY's new nicknames and I texted them back with new ones. I could not sleep on the day because I laughed so hard.
