Mission Statement

This site exists to host announcements and "remixes" of Jonathan Ball's poetry book Ex Machina (BookThug, 2009).

The book is published under a Creative Commons license that allows for attributed, non-commercial, sharealike derivations. Click here for all the details. The basics of what this means:
1. You can buy a copy of Ex Machina and "remix" it -- use the book as a jumping-off point to fashion your own creative works.
2. The works you create must acknowledge Ball and Ex Machina as a source of inspiration.
3. You cannot make money off of the works you create (without Jonathan's permission) but you can distribute them by any non-commercial means.
4. The works you create must be licensed similarly.

Last, but not least -- make stuff, and send it to me! I'm at jonathan@jonathanball.com.

Thanks to BookThug, Jay MillAr, and Jenny Sampirisi for making all this possible.
