2. Grappling With the Actual: Writing on the Periphery of the Real

   This essay considers literary realism in relation to two of my own recent works of digital literature: This is a Picture of Wind: A Weather Poem for Phones, and The Pleasure of the Coast: A Hydro-graphic Novel. Both of these web-based works grapple with the actual world we live in: a post-digital world, in which invisible layers of data inform our daily thoughts and actions; a post-human world, of vast oceans and ceaseless winds. These works use the affordances of the internet to call attention to the historical, colonial, elemental, and material substrate of the internet; both attempt to represent the reality of the vast corpus of non-human writing which lurks beneath the mere appearance of the screen. Methodologically, this essay grapples with the material and contextual actualities of these works by turning its attention to earlier analogous moments in the intertwined histories of technology, science, and writing. In particular, this essay is concerned with the technology of the ship, the science of measurement, and the writing of the vast non-human systems of coastlines and winds.

3. Mapping Place / Troubling Space

   This essay expands on writing, thinking, talking, and walking undertaken in collaboration with London-based writer Mary Paterson. Throughout our collaboration Mary has asked questions about place, migration, identity, and belonging. Questions that are mostly unanswerable. Questions that I’ve tried to answer anyway. Because speaking about the unspeakable with someone comes as a relief. Building on a series of keynotes presented 2018-2019, this essay is structured around keyframes, a term borrowed from animation. Echoing the timeline feature common to animation, audio, and video editing softwares, this essay is designed to be read in a long horizontal scroll.

5. Twilight, A Symphony: The Great Lost Work of Michael Joyce

   Twilight, A Symphony remains one of the best novels in the career of Michael Joyce, a prolific author of electronic and print fiction. Unfortunately, the technological milieu of the work at the time of its publication in 1996 proved to be harsh, unfavourable, and ultimately (almost) deadly to the work. The global transition form Mac platform to Windows in the mid 1990s, the emergence of the Web as the platform for electronic literature publication, and the fading popularity of commercial, stand-alone authorial software such as Storyspace made Twilight, A Symphony stillborn on arrival. By the end of the decade only the specialised audience of critics and academics was able to read the work. Joyce himself call it his “great lost work.”

6. Hypertext Town: Marble Springs by Deena Larsen

   "The Hill," an introductory poem of the Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters, is an epic style invocation with a series of repeated questions about the whereabouts of dead citizens of the town, each called by name, and a refrain “all are sleeping on the hill.” Because the fate of the deceased is just shortly mentioned, reading the poem today makes us want to activate the cross-referrals: Each name begs to be converted to a link and take us to a more detailed story of its bearer's life and death.
