WINDOWS 85
by Chris Campanioni
If this is a book about the body, it is about what happens when the body disappears—dispersed across a range of formats and mediated through multiple screens. If this is a book of poems about want, it is an ode to desire that necessarily exceeds the physical. Windows 85 explores self-commodification, networked intimacy, and epistolary affect within our tenuous media infrastructures in pursuit of a migratory ecopoetics, channeling both the generative frictions of today and an adolescence prior to our contemporary obligations wrought by always-on media.
ROLLING WINDOWS
by Chris Campanioni
In revolving sequences that entangle prose and verse, art, correspondence, and annotation, Chris Campanioni’s "Rolling Windows" streams encounters of surveillance, digital lust, and epistolary affect amidst fragile media infrastructures, ecological precarity, and the algorithmic composition of the face. Following the speaker on the discontinuous trail of exile and the recombinant zones of encoded networks, the narrative’s insistence on interval and diversion—source, sample, overdub—is as much a proposal for a migratory ecopoetics as it is a methodology for persons on the move.
