Everyone is invited to this semester’s Hugh C. Hyde Living Writers Series readings. Enjoy readings and conversation with these prominent writers. These events are free and open to the public, so invite your fellow literature lovers.

Award-winning Poet Scholar, and Electronic Literature Pioneer, Amaranth Borsuk

Amaranth Borsuk will share her most recent work, including “W/\SH”, a work of speculative poetry created with poet and artist Terri Witek, which includes visual poems, fragments, and epistles envisioning a correspondence between women in two disastrous climate futures who reach for one another across their worlds, hoping to course-correct for the sake of their children.

Amaranth Borsuk is a poet, scholar, and book artist working at the intersection of print and digital media. Her most recent book, “W/\SH” (Anhinga, 2026), is a work of speculative poetry created with poet and artist Terri Witek. Borsuk is the author of the poetry collections “Pomegranate Eater” (KorePress, 2016) and “Handiwork” (Slope Editions, 2012) as well as three other collaborative books of poems including: “Abra” (1913 Press, 2016), with Kate Durbin and Ian Hatcher; “As We Know” (Subito Press, 2014), with Andy Fitch; and “Between Page and Screen” (Siglio Press 2012, SpringGun Press, 2016) with Brad Bouse.

Her contribution to the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, “The Book”, is a concise introduction to the book’s changing technologies that bridges book history, artists’ books, and electronic literature to reconsider an object we think we know intimately. She has collaborated on installations, art bookmarklets, interactive works, and poems, and is Associate Professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington Bothell.

This event is co-sponsored by the Digital Humanities Initiative, the Department of English and Comparative Literature, and the CAL HŪMTECH Initiative.
