Craig Dworkin is an American poet, critic, editor, and Professor of English at the University of Utah. [1] [2] [3] He is the founding senior editor of Eclipse, an online archive of 20th-century small-press writing and 21st-century born-digital publications. [4] [5]
Dworkin received his BA from Stanford University and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. [2] He was an assistant [6] and associate professor [7] at Princeton University from 1998 to 2004 before joining the faculty at the University of Utah, where he is a Professor of English. [1]
Dworkin has written a number of books of poetry, including Helicography (Punctum Books, 2021), [8] The Pine-Woods Notebook (Kenning Editions, 2019), [9] Def (Information as Material, 2018), [10] Twelve Erroneous Displacements and a Fact (IAM, 2016), [11] Alkali (Counterpath Press, 2015), [12] The Crystal Text (After Clark Coolidge) (Compline, 2012), [13] Motes (Roof Books, 2011), [14] The Perverse Library (IAM, 2010), [15] and Strand (Roof, 2005). [16]
Dworkin is the author of four scholarly monographs: Radium of the Word: A Poetics of Materiality (Chicago, 2020); [17] [18] Dictionary Poetics: Toward a Radical Lexicography (Fordham, 2020); [19] No Medium (MIT, 2013), [20] in which he discusses works that are "blank, erased, clear, or silent"; [21] and Reading the Illegible (Northwestern, 2003). [22] Edited collections include Against Expression (co-edited with Kenneth Goldsmith, Northwestern, 2011), in which he coined the term "conceptual writing"; [23] The Sound of Poetry / The Poetry of Sound, co-edited with Marjorie Perloff (Chicago, 2009); and The Consequence of Innovation: 21st Century Poetics (Roof, 2008). He has published articles in such diverse journals as October, [24] Grey Room , [25] Contemporary Literature , [26] PMLA, [27] and Critical Inquiry . [28]
Dworkin is the founding senior editor of Eclipse, an online archive focusing on digital facsimiles of radical small-press writing from the last quarter of the 20th century. [4] Dworkin started the archive in 2002 to provide readers and scholars with access to avant-garde works that were no longer available in print from their original publishers; Eclipse later expanded to publish selected new works and born-digital publications in the spirit of those earlier presses. [29] The archive's name is an homage to Douglas Messerli’s Sun & Moon press. [29]
Eclipse includes high-resolution scans of every page of its included texts, most from Dworkin's personal collection, [4] in an attempt to "conserve ... the facture and material specificity of the book or printed document as an object." [30] Dworkin co-manages the archive with Danny Snelson, assistant professor of English at UCLA. [31]
