Education and career

Dworkin received his BA from Stanford University and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley.[2] He was an assistant[6] and associate professor[7] 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 Helicography (Punctum Books, 2021),[8] The Pine-Woods Notebook (Kenning Editions, 2019),[9] Def (Information as Material, 2018),[10] Twelve Erroneous Displacements and a Fact (IAM, 2016),[11] Alkali (Counterpath Press, 2015),[12] The Crystal Text (After Clark Coolidge) (Compline, 2012),[13] Motes (Roof Books, 2011),[14] The Perverse Library (IAM, 2010),[15] and Strand (Roof, 2005).[16]

Dworkin is the author of four scholarly monographs: Radium of the Word: A Poetics of Materiality (Chicago, 2020);[17] [18] Dictionary Poetics: Toward a Radical Lexicography (Fordham, 2020);[19] No Medium (MIT, 2013),[20] in which he discusses works that are "blank, erased, clear, or silent";[21] and Reading the Illegible (Northwestern, 2003).[22] Edited collections include Against Expression (co-edited with Kenneth Goldsmith, Northwestern, 2011), in which he coined the term "conceptual writing";[23] The Sound of Poetry / The Poetry of Sound, co-edited with Marjorie Perloff (Chicago, 2009); and The Consequence of Innovation: 21st Century Poetics (Roof, 2008). He has published articles in such diverse journals as October,[24] Grey Room,[25] Contemporary Literature,[26] PMLA,[27] and Critical Inquiry.[28]

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.[4] The archive has expanded to publish selected new works and include born-digital publications.[4]
