Loss Pequeño Glazier makes print poetry, digital poems, theoretical texts, and performance works. In his recent book, Transparent Mountain, according to renowned eco-theorist John Charles Ryan, "Intertextual allusions disclose a vast poetic intellectual pedigree, from eighth-century Chinese poet Li Bai and thirteenth-century Japanese Buddhist priest and poet Eihei Dōgen to William Wordsworth, John Muir, Henry David Thoreau, Nan Shepherd, and other alpine writers".[1] In the digital literary field, Glazier has stood among figures at the "forefront of the digital poetics movement,[2] and is a "distinguished writer of electronic poetry as well as a critic", according to N. Katherine Hayles.[3] His works include Transparent Mountain: Ecopoetry from the Great Smokies (Night Horn Books, 2022), Luna Lunera (Night Horn Books, 2020), Anatman, Pumpkin Seed, Algorithm (Salt, 2003), Digital Poetics: the Making of E-Poetries (Alabama, 2002),[4] the first book-length study of digital poetry,[5] and Small Press (Greenwood, 1992),[6] as well as the major digital works, white faced bromeliads on 20 hectares (1999, 2012),[7][8] Io Sono at Swoons (2002, 2020),[9] and Territorio Libre (2003-2010).[10] These three latter works are featured in his digital poetry performance film, Middle Orange | Media Naranja (Buffalo, 2010). His projects also include numerous poems, essays, film, visual art, sound, digital works, and projects for dance, music, installations, and performance. Glazier's poetic vision was the subject of an interview by David Jhave Johnston in 2012. His book, Luna Lunera: Poems al-Andalus (Night Horn Books, 2020) is a ten-year project culminating in a collection of print poetry drawn from scores of digital, code, and performance iterations, "a quantum embrace of words in an intensely present form, luminous as moon."[11] Luna Lunera is co-presented on the Web as digital poems, solo readings and as dance performances (in video). Glazier is Professor Emeritus of Media Study, State University of New York, Buffalo, and Director, Electronic Poetry Center (EPC). He has served as Director of the E-Poetry: An International Digital Poetry Festival series of international digital poetry gatherings, 2001-2017,[12] and Artistic Director, U.B. Digital Poetry & Dance, 2011-2015.[13] Glazier is Alarka "Little-T" Poet Laureate (Cowee, NC, 2023–present) and, living at the confluence of the Smokies, the Nantahala, and the Blue Ridge Mountains, most recently writes from his cabin in Western North Carolina mountains.
