Abstract
[First paragraph]
I tend to have an often stubborn suspicion of the convergence of art and technology, language that loses and finds us in the throes of new and unbound understanding somehow, seems diminished when the materiality of its record cannot be felt, when visceral responses cannot make a palimpsest of the text through the marginalia of an earnest reader. And so, when I first heard mention of a highly respected poet and thinker chronicling his time-felt ruminations and intuitions on cyberspace, I was initially hesitant to pursue the encounter. However, my hesitation quickly turned to humble engagement as I accepted the invitation of Joel Weishaus's Forest Park: A Journal. Through innovations of form, intense intellectual conversation with past and present minds, and intimate self-awareness, this journal is courageous and honest.
