โIโm interested in the idea that once youโve read a poem you know all its lines at the same time.โ

This Overview shows a deforested area of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Since the mid-1980s, resettlement of people from the high plains of the Andes Mountains and a corresponding agricultural development effort known as the Tierras Bajas project has led to utter deforestation in this region. The pinwheel-patterned fields follow the San Javier resettlement scheme, with each pinwheel containing a central community that includes a church, bar/cafรฉ, school, and soccer field. The light-colored areas of the formations are primarily fields of soybeans, and the dark lines running through the fields are โwindbreaksโ that prevent the erosion of the areaโs unusually fine soil.

Raffaella De Laurentiis on working with sandworms in Dune, 1984.
โI read the poem of a student and in the poem God wandered through a room picking up random objects โ a pear, a vase, a shoe โ and in bewilderment said, โI made this?โ. Apparently God had forgotten making anything at all. I awarded this poem a prize, because I was a judge of such matters. I was not really awarding the student, I was awarding God; I knew someday the student would pick up his old poem and say in bewilderment, โI made this?โ, and at that moment his whole world would be lost in the twilight, and when you are finally lost in the twilight you can not judge anything.โ
