Chris Girard is now living across the seas, completing a Ph.D. at Goldsmiths College in London.
Since he got his MFA in June 2010, this page will not be updated much. Please visit him for more current info at his website here:
Christoph Girard is interested in how the evolution of language can transform texts into poetic artifice. The transition from the original source material to the realm of disembodiment presents the way that process can subvert text into literature as linguistically challenging as poetry while it undermines the original grammar and syntax that commodifies different environments and mood sets into the illusion of a uniform experience. A common thread in the process is to show how textual manipulation can transform semantics to occupy a space between the tangible and the fantastic.
