Author Description

Poetry. HOT WAX, OR, PSYCHE'S DRIP is a long poem germinated in if not completely hatched in the toreador momentum of the Dark Reagan Era when the author was living in Los Angeles, immersed in the study of cybernetics and information theory, and noticing in peripheral vision the citywide micro-explosion of the porn industry which has now overtaken the planet, "churning away in Tinker Bell's Hard Drive." Jed Rasula is the author of Tabula Rasula: being a book of audible visual matters (1986), editor of the poetry magazine Wch Way (1976-83), and concocted Imagining Language with Steve McCaffery 1998). Author also of numerous scholarly books and articles, Rasula taught at Queen's University in Kingston Ontario from 1990-2001, departing (unsuccessfully) on September 11, 2001, to take up his current position as Helen S. Lanier Distinguished Professor at the University of Georgia, deep (very deep) in the Bible Belt.
