Salon 8: September 8, 2020: Bill Bly's We Descend
E-lit is amazingly interdisciplinary. Every one of us is a citizen of & a practitioner in multiple overlapping worlds of literature, technology, art, theory, history, and not to mention archiving. Join Bill Bly and the rest of the salon in yet another intellectual discourse to explore a life long work and passion with We Descend. The one thing exploring We Descend requires of its dearReader is *study*: careful reading and re-reading, pondering, patience while the overall story takes shape in the mind, and perseverance, because no single pass through the writings will tell the whole story. Claro, this isn't everybody's idea of a fun thing to do, but We Descend is addressed to those for whom it is. Bill will tell the story from scribbling with a fountain pen on notebook paper jammed in a clipboard to its lyrical presence now at https://www.wedescend.net/

Salon 9: October 13, 2020: Accessible Bits
Background
At a recent ELO meeting about options for increasing the accessibility of Deena Larsen’s work "Chronic", Deena mentioned us that the next ELO Virtual salon would be dedicated to the topic of accessibility. Since I am writing an essay about the accessibility of electronic literature, Deena invited me to share my work-in-process at the salon.
Presentation
My essay rewrites and overwrites, with all the political and creative connotations those terms contain, Joseph Tabbi’s essay "Electronic Literature as World Literature, or, the Universality of Writing under Constraint" through the lens of disability. Using three small case studies, I explore the concept of digital accessibility through the concepts of defamiliarization and writing under constraint.
