Following a prolonged period of dormancy, POETRY dept. continues to experience intermittent operational dysfunction.

Recent observations have found that particular times of the year - February, May, August and November - result in increased atmospheric pressure within the archives of POETRY dept. and inexplicable surges of documents that seem to have survived difficult conditions.

​​

POETRY dept. remains receptive to:

• fragmentary research

• trace evidence

• unresolved marginalia

• spectral scholarship

• found materials

• archival remnants

• resistance to completion

• silent compositions

• failed, distressed, destroyed or disappeared documents
