“Writing Through John Cage” is a computer-composed poem based on the John Cage article from Wikipedia. Employing the online generator at www.euph0r1a.net/mesostomatic/, Leach used the I Ching and various chance operations to produce a book-length work of repeated vertical phrases intersecting lines of horizontal text. The result is an epic poem about Cage in the manner of his mesostic writings.
“Writing Through John Cage” is the latest work of literary appropriation by Mark Leach, author of the 17-million-word “Marienbad My Love,” the world’s longest novel.
