IAS faculty members Amaranth Borsuk and Ching-In Chen each have new work in Interim: A Journal of Poetry & Poetics 38.4, a special issue guest edited by Ronaldo V. Wilson. Of the issue, Black The [Or] Y: Praxis, Sum Unknown, Wilson writes:

“my hope was to center, by way of open invitation, Barbara Christian’s call for a mode of Theory, which for me is The [or] Y—emphasis on the “or,” the Y axis, the vector, a range that spreads across and towards an alternative nexus of theory where generative praxis becomes possible among “people of color, feminists, radical critics, creative writers…for whom literature is not…discourse…but necessary nourishment for their people and one way by which they come to understand their lives better.””

The issue contains video, audio, text, and performance, including, “W / \ S H: Score for Two Worlds,” by Amaranth Borsuk and Terri Witek, and “Archive Bereft of Words,” by Ching-In Chen.
