Stephanie Strickland’s 10 books of poetry include How the Universe Is Made: Poems New & Selected (2019 Ahsahta) and Ringing the Changes, a code-generated project for print based on the ancient art of tower bell-ringing (Fall 2019 Counterpath). Her other books include Dragon Logic and The Red Virgin: A Poem of Simone Weil. Her print work garnered two Alice Fay Di Castagnola Prizes and the Sandeen, Brittingham, NEH, NEA, Boston Review, Pushcart, and Best American Poetry awards. Her co-authored eleven works of electronic literature include slippingglimpse, which maps text to Atlantic wave patterns; House of Trust, an homage to free public libraries; and Hours of the Night, an MP4 PowerPoint poem probing age and sleep. Strickland has written, as well, a number of essays about digital literature. An interview treating her practice extensively appears in CounterText and is freely accessible. A member of the Board of Directors of the Electronic Literature Organization, Strickland edited Electronic Literature Collection Volume 1. Her work across print and multiple media is being collected by the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book And Manuscript Library at Duke University. For more information, visit her website. In this interview she read a poem that can be seen here.
Stephanie went through the visualization program at Texas A&M, that’s where students spend the first 2 years learning the core curriculum the other Environmental Design students learn, but they branch off doing mostly 3D animation for the next 2 years. Because the program is so highly regarded, those folks are handpicked by companies like Pixar to work in Silicon Valley after graduating. Stephanie is a talented animator, interior designer with a track record at Apple, Pixar and Dreamworks. More recently she has nailed a job as Senior Manager at NIO USA working on the future of smarter electric cars.
Stephanie Strickland is the author of six books of print poetry, most recently Dragon Logic (Ahsahta Press, 2013), and seven electronic poems, most recently Sea and Spar Between, a poetry generator written with Nick Montfort using the words of Emily Dickinson and Moby-Dick. Her award-winning works include V: WaveSon.nets / Losing L’una—soon to re-appear with a new mobile app—True North, The Red Virgin: A Poem of Simone Weil, and "The Ballad of Sand and Harry Soot."

At the age of five, poet Stephanie Strickland and her sister received a book from their grandmother that included a poem by John Farrar called “Serious Omission.” I know that there are dragons St. George’s, Jason’s, too, And many modern dragons With scales of green and blue; But though I’ve been there many times And carefully looked through, I cannot find a dragon In the cages at the zoo! The poem stayed with Strickland. “What is the serious omission?” she asks. “To not be able to find that dragon? To fail to discriminate the hugely many implicate orders of life?” These questions, not to mention dragons themselves, drive Strickland’s new book of poems, Dragon Logic (Ahsahta Press, 2013). Her fiercely intelligent and morally acute work captures e-dragons and sea dragons, as well as a beast she calls the “Hidden Dragon of Unstable Ruin.” The poems even offer “Dragon Maps,” that take “catastrophic forms and safepaths,” finding and figuring their way through the physical, mechanical, virtual, mythical, chimerical, and hypothetical environments we now inhabit. And if you find yourself wondering just what a dragon is, that’s the right question. “Dragons are mythical and abstract,” explains Strickland, “mythic embodiments of abstract power, from the snake in Eden, to devouring sea monsters, to the latest special FX apocalyptic creation from Hollywood. The dragon hunt that matters for me is tracking the beast as it slips, dizzyingly, from real to configurational (electronically generated) space, always aware that where we live, in either case, is the belly of this beast.” *Photograph courtesy of Star Black (copyright).
