There is. Kamens was the first to answer last month’s call in Cabinet magazine to participate in a unique project. Jackson wanted to publish her newest short story one word at a time–on human volunteers. Since then she’s had 64 people sign up for the 2,301-word story. From couples wanting to be linked not just romantically but syntactically, too, to those who just aspire to become human magnetic poetry, volunteers are slowly (and painfully) publishing the work. Want to read it? Too bad. Jackson’s not releasing the text–only her “words” get the whole story. But she may publish a book of photos of her volunteers (tattoos not showing). “I like the idea of the story encrypted as people,” she says. “Maybe they will meet. Sentences will form that I never wrote.”
