Salon 1: A Discussion of a Nika Skandiaka Poem and Reading "Electronically"
The first of the monthly Virtual ELO Salons was held via Zoom on Tuesday, February 11. At that pre-global-pandemic time, we all felt we were engaging in something quite new by meeting virtually via Zoom. Obviously, we did not know then that our virtual meetings would become the new “normal” for social and professional interactions worldwide. The Russian poet, translator, and scholar Kirill Azernyi courageously volunteered to facilitate the first ELO Virtual Salon and selected a section of an untitled poem by the contemporary Russian poet Nika Skandiaka for the participants to discuss.

Salon 4: May 12, 2020: Re-Weaving Digital Textualities with Amira Hanafi’s “A Dictionary of the Revolution"
A Dictionary of the Revolution by Amira Hanafi was the first Arabic e-lit piece to come to my mind when thinking of what to present in the ELO salon. It is available in English and Arabic so, the English-speaking audience will be able to engage in the reading process. This piece is based on the idea of the January 25th revolution in Egypt, which is a special event to all Egyptians. I thought that the Western audience would be interested in knowing more about this glorious revolution. Most importantly, the technique of weaving different voices into one text and visualizing it in a wheel-shaped dictionary is unique. In addition to all these causes that make A Dictionary of the Revolution a good fit to the ELO salon’s presentation, this piece is the winner of the New Media Writing Prize and The Public Library Prize for Electronic Literature.

Salon 5: June 12, 2020: E-Lit In the Wild
Rather than taking a lit-crit approach to a single piece of e-literature, we used this session to collect and discuss “e-lit in the wild”: works that we have found that often don’t have ties to the academic or artistic circles we traditionally look to for electronic literature. We created a Google Doc list of works we have come across that make interesting artistic and narrative uses of digital spaces, including customer reviews of products, interactive web comics, online bulletin boards, Reddit users, indie games and more.

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.
