With over 100 contributors, The Dark Would: Language Art Anthology surveys a broad swath of poets and artists who use language as their primary material and medium. The collection also dwells on themes of "dis/embodiment and the human trace"; these concerns are, in turn, reflected in the anthology's two-volume publication: one a 300-page, paper-bound book and another an exclusively digital edition reaching over one thousand pages.
Included in both of these volumes are drafts for my suite of typewriter poems, Andre After Andre (2012). Reading the sculptural work of Carl Andre, I translate the structures back to the page, the site of Andre's first career, as a typewriter poet. Using Andre's exhibition floorplans, each poem transmutes one of his archetypal, single-material scultuptures into its linguistic signs, emulating its structure by mis- and re-feeding the A4 archival paper into the typewriter.
