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.
