“To archive,” the editors of this special issue tell us, “is to offer the textures and subjectivities of a past (with all its discontinuities and abysses) to the unvoiced present, to assume the fractures and fragmentations of histories as our own.” And, much more, they lyrically begin in introducing some twenty-five poems, four essays, one lengthy interview, and artwork. There is also, most provocative and insightful and fun, a section devoted “to naming a poem you like that draws on/relates to archival research/thinking.”
