Amaranth Borsuk (born 1981) is an American poet and educator known for her experiments with textual materiality and digital poetry.
[1] She is currently an associate professor at the University of Washington Bothell's School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, where she teaches undergraduate courses on poetry, philology, and experimental writing.
[3] Her work includes poetry (Handiwork, Tonal Saw, Pomegranate Eater), artist books, and collaborative digital projects (Abra, As We Know, Whispering Galleries, Between Page and Screen), and she has a special interest in investigating textual materiality.
Her 2013 collaboration with Jesper Juul and Nick Monfort, The Deletionist, erases texts on a web screen to leave words that then form another poem by themselves, thus further exploring the tropes of overwriting and erasure.
[4] Between Page and Screen (Siglio, 2012) by Borsuk and Brad Bouse is a 2012 project that incorporated both a paper book and digital art.
Originally displayed at the New Haven Free Public Library on April 26, 2014, it later went on to be exhibited at The Institute Library in New Haven (2014), The International Symposium on Electronic Art[usurped] at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver (2015), and “You | I: Interfaces & Reader Experience” at the Paul Watkins Gallery, Winona State University (2016).
