What would it take
to get up without machines
to not be powered and pushed down

this is poor because it's us
spring comes and we say it feels like winter
but it's not the same, is it

you should feel it at the crack of dawn
at least before the clocks are changed once more
this is poor because it's us

What would it take
to reconsider our roles, the day-to-day
the routines encoded in our brains

witness the changes in the world beyond
open windows, thick curtains drawn
this is poor because it's us

there is no prompt to wake us up

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. View all posts by Ernesto Priego
