Welcome to what light already light, the personal weblog of Eric Scovel. If you want to know more about him and his blog, boy is this is the page for you.

It’s Author

A recent graduate of the MFA program in poetry at Purdue University, Eric Scovel is originally from Polo, Illinois, a small town (pop. 2600) in the Northwest corner of that state. He will be moving soon to New York City to find a job as a web editor or creative writing instructor (or some variation or combination of these). Cross your fingers.

He posts here semi-regularly on his thoughts, discoveries and publications. His interests mainly revolve around poetry, music, art, politics, buddhism and anything cool on the web he finds that has to do with these.

His other blog, Markovian Parallax Generate, is much more focused. It deals with a computer program (mchain) he uses often to write poetry. It also documents his experiments with Gnoetry 0.2 and related ideas/processes in poetics.

From the summer of 2007 through the spring of 2008, he was the web editor for the Sycamore Review Weblog.

It’s Title

All phenomena are beyond corruption and naturally free of stain. The title has something to do with this position.
