An exploration of minimal writing-texts generally shorter than a sentence-as complex, powerful literary and visual works.In the 1960s and 70s, minimal and conceptual artists stripped language down to its most basic components- the word and the letter. Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Carl Andre, Lawrence Weiner, and others built lucrative careers from text-based art. Meanwhile, poets and writers created works of minimal writing-visual texts generally shorter than a sentence. (One poem by Aram Saroyan reads in its entirety- eyeye.) In absence of clutter, Paul Stephens offers the first comprehensive account of minimal writing, arguing that it is equal in complexity and power to better-known, more commercial text-based art. Minimal writing, Stephens writes, can be beguilingly simple on the surface, but can also offer iterative reading experiences on multiple levels, from the fleeting to the ponderous. "absence of clutter," for example, the entire text of a poem by Robert Grenier, is both expressive and self-descriptive. Stephens first sets out a theoretical framework for reading and viewing minimal writing and then offers close readings of works of minimal writing by Saroyan, Grenier, Norman Pritchard, Natalie Czech, and others. He "reverse engineers" recent works by Jen Bervin, Craig Dworkin, and Christian B k that draw on molecular biology, and explores print-on-demand books by Holly Melgard, code poetry by Nick Montfort, Twitter-based work by Allison Parrish, and the use of Instagram by Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Saroyan. Text, it seems, is becoming ever more prevalent in visual art; meanwhile, poems are getting shorter. When reading has become scanning a screen and writing tapping out a text, absence of clutter invites us to reflect on how we read, see, and pay attention.

The Poetics of Information Overload: From Gertrude Stein to Conceptual Writing

Information overload is a subject of vital, ubiquitous concern in our time. The Poetics of Information Overload reveals a fascinating genealogy of information saturation through the literary lens of American modernism. 
Although technology has typically been viewed as hostile or foreign to poetry, Paul Stephens outlines a countertradition within twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature in which avant-garde poets are centrally involved with technologies of communication, data storage, and bureaucratic control. Beginning with Gertrude Stein and Bob Brown, Stephens explores how writers have been preoccupied with the effects of new media since the advent of modernism. He continues with the postwar writing of Charles Olson, John Cage, Bern Porter, Hannah Weiner, Bernadette Mayer, Lyn Hejinian, and Bruce Andrews, and concludes with a discussion of conceptual writing produced in the past decade.
By reading these works in the context of information systems, Stephens shows how the poetry of the past century has had, as a primary focus, the role of data in human life.

"This is Weston-super-Mare, Love. If we downed tools every time an empty hotel caught fire we'd never get any work done, would we?" A derelict hotel damaged by fire - business as usual for the Weston-super-Mare police, except that this hotel has a corpse in the bar, charred beyond recognition. Detective Sergeant Mary Miller leads the investigation, and soon finds herself unpicking a web of rivalries involving old money, seedy lap dancing clubs, a work of artistic genius and the fight to save Weston's collapsing Birnbeck Pier. In the middle of all this is amateur sleuth Michael Slade, now an official Constabulary Technical Advisor, who as always seems to know more than he's letting on. And who is the mystery woman, living on Weston's once-notorious Bournville Estate and operating under two names in different parts of town? Death in the Deauville is the sequel to The Bodies in the Beach, the hit thriller about life and death in an English West Country seaside resort.
