Glad to share a short piece I wrote for the Edinburgh UP blog on repetition, originality, poetry, and post-digital writing — published alongside the release of Transformative Repetition in Experimental and Post-Digital Poetics. @edinburghup.bsky.social

Repetition After Originality: Why Saying It Again Still Matters - Edinburgh University Press Blog
This blog rethinks repetition in literature, showing how repeated forms can generate innovation, disrupt meaning, and reshape poetic practice.

TRANSFORMATIVE REPETITION IS OUT NOW 📖 Literally, as you can see! In the background, a collective panel of drawings made by different classes of 8-yos, one of them my kid. Each drawing repeats and transforms a single 18th-c Iberian tile. My son no longer knows which one is his, and I love that.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

A frustrated letter from the Library of Congress asking Norbert Weiner what section of a library his book is supposed to be in (1949).

DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON, D. C.
Dec. 2, 1949
Dr. Norbert Wiener
Mass. Institute of Technology Cambridge, Nass.
My dear Dr. Wiener:
The publication of your book on Cybernetics has caused the editorial staff which is in charge of the revision of the Dewey Decimal Classification considerable difficulty. We are in the position of being asked by sincere inquirers as to how to classify the book and by less sincere people who like to confront supposedly expert classifiers with problems which they are quite certain are beyond our capabilities. Quite frankly, cybernetics is. We have read and reread reviews and explanations of the content of your book and have even tried to understand the book itself, only to become more uncertain as to what field it falls into. I am appealing to you as the one person who should be able to tell us.
Possibly you already know that the Dewey Decimal Classification attempts to assign a number to the subject content of books. Generally speaking, a book can only be assigned one number and consequently we cannot take care of the many aspects that certain works cover. The problem must be simplified and consequently, is your book such as to place it in psychology? Does it belong in the field of electronic computation devices or does it belong in mathematics?
If we were not somewhat desperate about this particular problem, I should hesitate to bother you with it.
Cordially yours,
Esther P. Potter
Director
