At this time I would like to introduce John Cayley and Penny Florence to our
empyre members.  Both John and Penny will be describing their own work and
what they will be doing at the Making Sense event. I am hoping that Fred and
Janice will also join the conversation that Lorna has initiated during the
first few posts.

translator, publisher, and bookdealer, and all these activities have often
intersected with his training in Chinese culture and language.  His poetry
is internationally recognised, twice winning the Electronic Literature
Organization's Award for Poetry (in 2001 and 2010). He has held a number of
research positions at universities  in the UK and the US.

conference and presentation, including the prefiguring of the digital in
Mallarmé's "Un coup de dés ...". She has worked as an artist and filmmaker
and is an interdisciplinary scholar and experimentalist, deploying practice
