"'redactor' uses found texts from the everyday - emails, memos, notes, lyrics, text messages, tweets, webfeeds - as poetic material. Drawing on techniques from the visual arts and radical writing such as the ready-made, the cut-up and the concrete poem, Eddie Paterson reflects upon the ways in which the historical legacy of censorship intersects with contemporary surveillance technologies. In an era in which former US President George W. Bush's favourite writing tool was the black sharpie marker, 'redactor' is a language trash-compactor where the banal and the brilliant meet."--back cover.
