Amaranth Borsuk video extension of As We Know

IAS faculty member Amaranth Borsuk had her video collaboration with Andy Fitch, an extension of their book As We Know (Subito, 2014) published on the video poetry website PoetrySeen and subsequently picked up in Harriet, the official blog of the Poetry Foundation. In the video, Borsuk and Fitch perform the first entry in their co-written diary erasure, “April 30th.” An attempt to intervene into the gendered history of editorial intervention, the project uses humor to make its authors and its audience embarrassed, uncomfortable, and perhaps also amused. You can learn more about this work at the duo’s website, http://www.as-we-know.com/.
