Chaque jour plus matinale
Chaque saison plus nue
Plus fraîche
-Paul Éluard, La vie, 1926
[and with apologies to Mr Cave]
“I get lucky/I get lucky”
sings the voice:
this morning
always to-day
(was it yesterday?)
as the day dawns slowly
yet impossibly quick- unstoppable.
We get lucky.
Each day more
like a morning
colder
like that morning
in the 10th arrondissement
with Let Love In looping
(could not have been
a tape, could it?)
we wrote “Liberty”
here and there
on the walls
the bridges
every stone
again and again
from city to city
we get lucky
we get lucky
(repeat)
(repeat)
because we try and try again
the world becomes more
like morning
every day.
He spoke to us
of eternity

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.
