A poet and scholar, Amaranth Borsuk’s work focuses on textual materiality—from the surface of the page to the surface of language.
She currently writes a Jacket2 Commentary on the artist’s book in the digital age and tweets for The Deletionist, an erasure applet collaboration with Nick Montfort and Jesper Juul.
Her most recent book is As We Know, a collaboration with Andy Fitch (Subito Press, 2014). Her forthcoming project Abra (1913 Editions), written with Kate Durbin, recently received an Expanded Artists' Books grant from the Center for Book and Paper Arts at Columbia College Chicago and will be issued this spring as an artist's book with an iPad app by Ian Hatcher. She is the author of Handiwork (Slope Editions, 2012); Tonal Saw (The Song Cave, 2010); and, with Brad Bouse, the hybrid digital/print artist’s book Between Page and Screen (Siglio Press, 2012).
Amaranth holds a Ph.D. in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Southern California, where she co-founded the Gold Line Press chapbook series and The Loudest Voice reading series. She recently served as Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities at MIT where, in addition to researching technological mediation in the work of modernist and contemporary poets, she taught classes in creative writing and digital and visual poetry and poetics. She currently teaches in Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences and in the MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics at the University of Washington, Bothell.
