NOAH ELI GORDON is the author of several books, including Novel Pictorial Noise (Harper Perennial, 2007), which was selected by John Ashbery for the National Poetry Series and subsequently chosen by Sesshu Foster for the San Francisco State Poetry Center Book Award. He’s the co-publisher of Letter Machine Editions and an Assistant Professor in the MFA program in Creative Writing at The University of Colorado–Boulder.

On his latest book, The Source (Futurepoem):
By applying a hypertextual model to paper-bound books in a library, Noah Eli Gordon turns the electronic equation on its ear, making us realize that our engagement with every kind of media—analog and digital—has forever been altered. By literally surfing though a library, Gordon has convincingly shown us that writing still has the potential to be personal, meaningful and spiritual without our ever having written a word of it.
—Kenneth Goldsmith
