Works in Progress

Creative
  • transgenre book Civilian Border Patrol, a tragi-comic border novel-policy on bio-piracy, commissioned by Atelos Press
  • chapbook “Blank Mount” that writes through Shelley’s “Mont Blanc,” commissioned by Little Red Leaves Press
  • book RareErthes/Interre-gnum, a book on obsolete labor, valuation, physical and virtual mining practices, biometrics, and commoning, in part imagined through the 17th-century Diggers
Critical
  • I am currently working on a critical project titled Medium Envy, which thinks through the difference medium continues to make in our seemingly post-medium epoch of new media and social networking, while theorizing how specific media develop their own potentialities and express rivalry through mimicry of other media.
  • I will be giving a paper on a panel on the Language poet Hannah Weiner sponsored by the Poetics Program this coming October.
  • I am also working on an essay on mourning, figuration, and animacy in Kim Rosenfield’s Tráma.
  • Further, I’m revising parts of my dissertation Visible Hand: “System,” Method, and Suasion in the Human Natural Science of Adam Smith for article publication.
