On the back cover and internet, it is stated that A. J. Patrick Liszkiewicz is a media artist and theorist, an assistant editor at the online journal Anti-, and a member of the art collective RUST, LTD. He is the author of two previous chapbooks, Alphabet Man (Slack Buddha) and Count as One (New River), and a forthcoming full-length collection, Afeeld: Computer Games as Poetics (ETC/MediaCommons). His recent work has appeared in Diagram, Hobart, Kotaku, Otoliths, Word for/Word, and the Zaoem Festival of Contemporary Poetry. He created the poems in this chapbook by modifying "glitchNES," a ROM originally created by Don Miller, and using it with the Nestopia NES emulator. A. J. says: "These visual poems are the result of glitches I created and controlled through computer game software. I used an NES emulator as an instrument, improvised and composed in real time, and recorded the output of my play. The resultant poems are colorful screenshots that suggest meaning through image and text fragments." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
