The author, Piotr Gwiazda, comments in the interview contained in this book on the title Messages: The first association will be - perhaps inevitably - with the phone, email, and text messages we send and receive on a daily basis. Also the messages that pour out of various devices (as in Muriel Rukeyser's poem): news stories, speeches, alerts, warning labels, traffic and weather reports, TV and radio commercials, those targeted ads on Google and Facebook. Communications overload - but with a touch of magic to it. Again, we are both consumers and producers of messages: we post, we blog, we update, we upload. But I was also thinking about the broader connotations of the word. After all, messages can be exchanged in the course of a simple conversation.
