About this title

Synopsis

Where does the body go when we write to one another thru digital channels? How and what do we feel when information is realized through taps, clicks, and pressures? What happens to meaning within a digital economy when information is considered to be bodiless? Concerned with these questions, Surfaces is at turns playful and unsettling as it explores the processes, interactions, and erasures that occur on and below the surface of writing with machinery.

"An uncanny reminder of what language could be, if only we let it.”—Derek Beaulieu

“In Canada […] there are poets to stun like Eric Schmaltz ”—Ian Williams
