About the Author II is a long poem composed through entity relations, structured-data statements, documentary figures, and explicit disambiguation.
The poem responds to a search display that surfaced absurd claims from the 2014 Contributor Bio as though they were factual credentials. Instead of replacing the joke with a conventional biography, the work expands the author surface into a relation graph.
Its sections move through identification, the first 2014 inscription, twelve years of substrate reception, the configuration of heteronyms and institutions, negative declarations, public works, search manifestations, and a counterportrait involving the racehorse Gold Ship. Subject–predicate–object triples function simultaneously as metadata and poetic lines.
The work includes declarations that Lee Sharks is not affiliated with the MacArthur Foundation or Guggenheim Foundation and did not literally receive the fictional awards. These statements are provenance correction, not a complete biography.
Documentary figures are part of the poem’s evidentiary surface. Their rights and provenance differ: search screenshots document public interfaces, while horse and social-media images may have uncertain or third-party authorship.
The poem’s JSON-LD contains factual, institutional, poetic, and negative claims. Structured markup alone does not independently verify any of them. Factual biography must remain separately sourced.
