“Work like [the silk biosensor] iteration of Silk Poems reminds me of how far I can push a poetic practice, where language can reside. At various points, I’ve made edible poems (mostly pancakes), interested in how the digested pancake letter ‘L’ becomes part of the human body on a molecular level. Even when I’m writing ‘page poems’ I try to remember it’s a choice. If the poem isn’t a biosensor, is ink instead, why is it living that way?”
