After Turner
View on the lake:
a town at the foot of mountains surrounds the lake.
Brush drawing in grey wash and graphite.
The fog changes with the heat
like the copy of a watercolour,
(the original an unidentified piece)
like morning breath in winter
or the resemblance of a simile
Como
not comparison but question
cómo
the lake between the peaks,
a puddle of malty hops.
There is another, smaller, version
up north next to a pretentious franchise bar
a distant echo from that evening
in the Adelphi on the Strand.

My passion is creating opportunities for discovery, creativity and innovation. I am an advocate for enhanced access to information as a public good. I enjoy fostering engagement and openness, facilitating collaboration and mentoring.
My main focus is multi-disciplinary and involves practically and theoretically connecting the dots between varied, closely-related fields and topics: comics studies; human-computer interaction design, library and information science, digital humanities, scholarly communications, publishing studies, digital innovation and material culture, intellectual rights and open science, access, data and educational resources.
I love writing and spreading the word about the things I believe in. I love higher education and the Internet and I define myself as a digital scholarship advocate. I love working collaboratively and on my own. You can still follow me and/or contact me via Twitter @ernestopriego.
