PhD in Comparative Literature (in progress since 2000)
Areas of Interest: Through translation (and false translations),
collaborations and other attempts to erase conventional authority
(e.g., using chance operations, claiming otherworldly inspiration),
and what I term linguistic slummingmost clearly delineated in
constraint-based writing, such as John Cages work or that of
the OULIPO, but intriguingly present elsewhere in Modern and postmodern
poetry and fiction.
