 Education and career
 [ edit ] 

 Dworkin received his BA from Stanford University and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley . [ 2 ] He was an assistant [ 6 ] and associate professor [ 7 ] at Princeton University from 1998 to 2004 before joining the faculty at the University of Utah , where he is a Professor of English. [ 1 ] 

 Dworkin has written a number of books of poetry, including Helicography (Punctum Books, 2021), [ 8 ] The Pine-Woods Notebook (Kenning Editions, 2019), [ 9 ] Def (Information as Material, 2018), [ 10 ] Twelve Erroneous Displacements and a Fact (IAM, 2016), [ 11 ] Alkali (Counterpath Press, 2015), [ 12 ] The Crystal Text (After Clark Coolidge) (Compline, 2012), [ 13 ] Motes (Roof Books, 2011), [ 14 ] The Perverse Library (IAM, 2010), [ 15 ] and Strand (Roof, 2005). [ 16 ] 

 Dworkin is the author of four scholarly monographs: Radium of the Word: A Poetics of Materiality ( Chicago , 2020); [ 17 ] [ 18 ] Dictionary Poetics: Toward a Radical Lexicography ( Fordham , 2020); [ 19 ] No Medium ( MIT , 2013), [ 20 ] in which he discusses works that are "blank, erased, clear, or silent"; [ 21 ] and Reading the Illegible ( Northwestern , 2003). [ 22 ] Edited collections include Against Expression (co-edited with Kenneth Goldsmith , Northwestern, 2011), in which he coined the term "conceptual writing"; [ 23 ] The Sound of Poetry / The Poetry of Sound , co-edited with Marjorie Perloff (Chicago, 2009); and The Consequence of Innovation: 21st Century Poetics (Roof, 2008). He has published articles in such diverse journals as October , [ 24 ] Grey Room , [ 25 ] Contemporary Literature , [ 26 ] PMLA , [ 27 ] and Critical Inquiry . [ 28 ] 

 Eclipse
 [ edit ] 

 Dworkin is the founding senior editor of Eclipse, an online archive focusing on digital facsimiles of radical small-press writing from the last quarter of the 20th century. [ 4 ] Dworkin started the archive in 2002 to provide readers and scholars with access to avant-garde works that were no longer available in print from their original publishers; Eclipse later expanded to publish selected new works and born-digital publications in the spirit of those earlier presses. [ 29 ] The archive's name is an homage to Douglas Messerli ’s Sun & Moon press. [ 29 ] 

 Eclipse includes high-resolution scans of every page of its included texts, most from Dworkin's personal collection, [ 4 ] in an attempt to "conserve ... the facture and material specificity of the book or printed document as an object." [ 30 ] Dworkin co-manages the archive with Danny Snelson, assistant professor of English at UCLA . [ 31 ]
