Epic Lyric Poem (PDF, TXT, and SQL) is published by Troll Thread (2015), and was exhibited and performed variously beginning in 2012.  

The poem extracted every line that includes the string “l-y-r-i-c” from a pop song database spanning all genres, standardizing and rearranging the results following the conventions of epic poetry. 

Most ambitiously, as a publishing project, large portions of the full SQL database were printed in Zürich as part of the “Poetry Will Be Made By All!” exhibition. 

Three full-size wall posters from this printing (30 feet in length) are available for free. Samples of the posters in the exhibition and production can be seen below. 

Please write dss-edit to request a copy if you are interested in acquiring this poster for any form of public display. ELP would find itself equally at home in a bookstore, library, working space, archive, gallery, or recording studio. 

Alternatively, you may print the poster with your own wide-format printer with the single page PDF here: ELP Poster 2013 (18mb).
