	Encyclopedia: Christopher Dewdney

		Dewdney is very interested in the sciences and a proper understanding of his work requires substantial knowledge of physics and biology, the vocabulary of which he uses substantially.
		Dewdney's poetry reveals a fascination with the natural world described through the vocabulary of paleontology, biology and physics, occasionally illustrated with his own drawings.

		Christopher Dewdney used to be one of the strangest poets writing, widely respected by other poets and acknowledged to have a unique voice.
		Many of Dewdney's ideas about language and computing are fascinating, particularly his ideas about how computers may become co-authors that allow writers greater freedom to express their own creativity.
		Dewdney has always been able to combine disparate images, ideas, observations, perspectives, perceptions and so on to achieve insights that jar the reader out of habitual modes of thought.

	Christopher Dewdney in the Transhuman Era
		As a poet, Dewdney has always been at home in the material world of science; in fact, much of his poetry attempts to integrate the documentary impulses of the sciences with the imaginative and transformative power of the poetic vision.
		In this, Dewdney uses insights explored by McLuhan in The Laws of Media where it is proposed that, while new media extend and disturb the equilibrium of the senses, they also reverse and displace ("obsolesce") previous extensions.
		Dewdney hopes to act as our guide in negotiating the threshold--the limin--between the human and transhuman: "It is important at this point in our history, when we are about to take our most momentous step, possibly leaving our DNA-based substrate behind, to prepare our psychology for the next phase" (6).

	Eye - Books - Christopher Dewdney's Last Flesh - 06.18.98
		Christopher Dewdney has long been a respected member of the Canadian literary community, nominated three times for the Governor-General's Award.
		Dewdney envisions us shuffling off our mortal coils forever, to be uploaded into computers or genetically engineered superbodies to play at virtual sex and effortlessly compose experimental literature (using designer software) for all eternity.
		He wondered if Dewdney had failed to acknowledge the most recent research on human consciousness, which suggests that not only can consciousness not exist outside the body, but that it might be an adaptation to this physical environment.

	Eye - Poetry - 06.22.00
		First among a flood of worthwhile recent books is another comeback of sorts: Christopher Dewdney's Signal Fires, a dense, unabashedly erotic collection containing Books III and IV of the poet's ongoing "Natural History of Southwestern Ontario," separated by a handful of shorter, recent pieces.
		I've never really tired of Dewdney's impish intellect, but it's fair to say the poet gathered most of his following with his early books -- which presented a bracing infiltration of old-school naturalism with the syntax and cadence of the new science.
		Dewdney can be embarrassingly classical ("She is crippled with sex, ripe fruit on a slender bough") and most of the shorter pieces here can't match the concentrated blast of the longer poems.

		London-born poet Christopher Dewdney has always wielded an utterly unique literary perspective, melding the lyricism of a poet with the eye of a scientist.
		Dewdney was hugely influenced by his father, Selwyn Dewdney, an anthropologist, ethno-archeologist, writer and teacher.
		Dewdney has tried in this book to draw a more universal perspective on his wide-ranging subject, to make it accessible to a larger audience.

	Jacket 18 - Shane Rhodes reviews The Natural Selection by Christopher Dewdney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Dewdney’s long poem is a Canadian Paterson but without the narrative flow of William Carlos William’s epic watermusic and without the decoder ring.
		Dewdney is most successful when in the meat of the poem where as those poems that reaches for a clearer or unfocused lyricism fail or come off sounding shoddy.
		It is a sort of literary and quasi-scientific Jurassic Park for Dewdney where the past is made to exist, coincide and become coincident with the present.

		Christopher Dewdney’s love for the landscape and the flora and fauna of southwestern Ontario has provoked some of the most gorgeously erotic prose ever to appear in this country.
		From that love, augmented by ardent research in the field, emerges a marvellously compelling, futuristic vision of time and space collapsed into near-simultaneity.
		“Dewdney has undergone a transformation; his poetry has taken on greater humanity and been touched by love, while still in touch with the gods.”

		Burnham is a marvellous reader of McCaffery; he gives illuminating entrance into this work, blending wit, rigour, irreverence, and theoretical acuity into as succinct and successful an overview of McCaffery's work and its reception as one is likely to find for some time.
		Karl Jirgens's informed, helpful entry on Christopher Dewdney is clearly motivated by a respect for and delight in the poet's work, but lacks the edge and style of both Diehl-Jones's and Burnham's pieces.
		And he indulges in a certain looseness of terminology, using `tornado,' `hurricane,' and `whirlwind' interchangeably, perhaps because their similar wind patterns appeal to Dewdney; it is irksome to read Jirgens's discussion of hurricanes in Dewdney's work followed by a quotation from Dewdney himself on tornadoes.

		Christopher Dewdney is proof that there need be no contradiction between the metaphorical language of poetry and science.
		Readers of his quick figures often find themselves lost in the universe, then accompanied there by sentences as strange and inevitable as themselves.
		Thus Dewdney may be considered one of the cadre of progressive artists joined with painter Greg Curnoe in his investigation of the region he called “Souwesto.” Dewdney lives in Toronto.
