Writing Surfaces: Selected Fiction by derek beaulieu and Lori Emerson, editors / Riddell, John ; Sackner MA., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-56294-9999726
Scope and Contents

In Writing Surfaces, derek beaulieu and Lori Emerson present a collection of John Riddell's work. Riddell's poems and short stories are a remarkable mix of largely typewriter-based concrete poetry mixed with fiction and drawings. Riddell's oeuvre fell out of popular attention, but it has recently garnered interest among poets and critics engaged with media studies (especially studies of the typewriter) and experimental writing. This book is an anthology of Riddell's published and unpublished works. It should be noted that the typewriter poem entitled 'Morax' totally differs from the piece with the same title published in Kontakte Series 1 No.1, a periodical held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
