Craig Dworkin

Dworkin received his BA from Stanford University and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley.[3] He was an assistant[4] and associate professor[5] at Princeton University from 1998–2004 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 The Pine-Woods Notebook (Kenning Editions, 2019),[6] Def (Information As Material, 2018),[7] Twelve Erroneous Displacements and a Fact (Information As Material, 2016), Alkali (Counterpath Press, 2015),[8] The Crystal Text (After Clark Coolidge) (Compline, 2012),[9] Motes (Roof Books, 2011),[10] The Perverse Library (Information as Material, 2010),[11] and Strand (Roof Books, 2005).[12]

Dworkin is the author of four scholarly monographs: Radium of the Word (Chicago, 2020); Dictionary Poetics (Fordham, 2020);[13] No Medium (MIT, 2013),[14] in which he discusses works that are "blank, erased, clear, or silent";[15] and Reading the Illegible (Northwestern, 2003).[16] Edited collections include Against Expression (co-edited with Kenneth Goldsmith, Northwestern, 2011), in which he coined the term "conceptual writing";[17] The Sound of Poetry / The Poetry of Sound, co-edited with Marjorie Perloff (Chicago, 2009); and The Consequence of Innovation: 21st Century Poetics (Roof Books, 2008). He has published articles in such diverse journals as October, Grey Room,[18] Contemporary Literature,[19] PMLA,[20] and Critical Inquiry.[21]

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.[2] The archive has expanded to publish selected new works and include born-digital publications.[2]
