Poet Darby Larson boldly experiments in his verse and in a 2009 posting (found months ago at darbylarson.blogspot.com but no longer there) I found these three stanzas -- three of the more-than-six-quadrillion possible arrangements of a particular list of eighteen words.
Suppose there's morning
angry in your wake-up eyes
and the beads hung sway
surely windy noise is what.
Suppose in your beads
hung there's morning angry
noise and windy wake-up
eyes sway is the surely what.
In your noise suppose the
windy beads sway angry
and there's morning hung
what wake-up eyes is surely.
I have enjoyed puzzling over Larson's arrangements and may try my own. My posting for 16 May 2011 shows a bit of my own experimentation with permutations of smaller numbers of words.
Despite lots of searching, I have not found a way to contact Larson online, but his poems are available -- here, for example, at Sleeping Fish. Also I have found this htmlgiant posting by Larson -- in which he links to information about an Electronic Text creative writing course at NYU, taught by Adam Parrish. These are leads I will follow to learn more.
