Bio:Fan is a poet, lecturer, teacher, aesthete and a Barthesian torchbearer of pleasuring in the text and of discerning the throw of desire beyond the bounds of what can be written or uttered.

Recording Notes:Fan’s interview and poems were recorded in my living room studio. Cut into my brief interview with the poet is a recording of an improvisational collaboration between Fan and multimedia poet David (Jhave) Johnston. Apart from expanding the documentary sprawl of this project by including poetry read by the author, it also gives evidence of my ongoing attempt to understand sound. Particularly in its relationship to text and the timbres of the various physical human hollows (skull, chest, etc.) Seems relevant to report here findings from the prescient Fred Moten: “The unthinkable is a tone.”
