		Mainstream assaults on McCaffery's writing (and there have been many) tend to be cloaked in the calcified, impassioned, Cotton Mather-style rhetoric that is the refuge of the truly bewildered.
		McCaffery, and a group of some two dozen like-minded writers who became associated with the short-lived poetry and poetics journal L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E in the late '70s, are often lumped together under the unintentionally humorous banner of "language writing." Like most such terms, the language writing tag is more convenient than it is accurate.
		McCaffery's treatment of these influences is also unusual, his connection to them less a matter of personal affinity than intellectual engagement.

	Steve McCaffery's Visual Errata
		McCaffery's modification of individual letters does not necessarily mean that they escape the constraints of the symbolic, for even if the alteration of an individual letter is intended to block or cancel the action of reference--i.e.
		When McCaffery imagines the reader constructing a new sequence for Carnival, he misrecognizes himself and his readers as unified subjects, for both reader and writer are subject to the gaze and the cultural coordinates that define subjectivity; in effect, Carnival looks at the reader / writer, thereby stimulating their unconscious desire.
		McCaffery's substitution of one non-semantic destination for another similarl presents us with the paradoxical proposition "I am lying." Since neither of the sets of signifiers on the errata sheet are attached to a signified, the truth of the error is that there is a deception, which in turn is a truth.

		McCaffery describes a poetics of general economy as a poetics of excess; this excessiveness includes nonsense ("witz" and the paragrammatic), libidinal flow, and a tension of subsurface energy against the poetics of restrictive economy, or classical poetry.
		McCaffery attaches this theory of excessive energy to everything "wasted" by social discourse: orgasm, dreams, jouissance, nonsense, the metaphor, and the paragram.
		McCaffery writes that "The surface is not contextualized—it is not a surface of, under, or around anything—but the flow of force itself, obliterating insides and outsides, and freeing writing from the domain of the categorical" (100).

	100 Canadian Poets - Steve McCaffery - Profile
		Steve McCaffery was born January 24, 1947, in Sheffield, England.
		McCaffery's collection of critical writings, North of Intention, stands as one of the earliest and best collections of essays about experimental writing in Canada and the U.S., and it demonstrates and explores McCaffery's own affiliation with the practitioners of the so-called Language Poetry and poetics, often considered a uniquely American phenomenon.
		McCaffery recently completed his PhD at SUNY Buffalo and is now teaching at York University.

	U B U W E B :: Steve McCaffery "Sound Poetry - A Survey"
		Heidsieck sometimes refers to both the biopsies and poem-partitions as 'action' poems (not to be confused with the action poetry of either Steve McCaffery or Robert Filliou).
		In 1970 Nichol, McCaffery (after solo and duo sound performances) joined cause with Paul Dutton and Rafael Barreto-Rivera to form the first sound-poetry ensemble, The Four Horsemen.
		However, Sean O'Huigin and Steve McCaffery have collaborated (together and independently) with electronic composer Ann Southam to produce text-sound compositions of high sophistication: synthesized speech, various speeds, splicings and superimpositions have all been investigated by O'Huigin and McCaffery.

	"INNER TENSION / IN ATTENTION": STEVE MCCAFFERY'S BOOK ART
		Steve McCaffery's writing project has, from the first, foregrounded the "all else," what Georges Bataille has defined as the "excesses of energy" inherent in the economy of distribution and circulation (NI 201).
		McCaffery's first book experiment or, more accurately page experiment was called Carnival, the first panel: 1967-70 and published by the Coach House Press in Toronto in 1973.

		Burnham uses his vast knowledge of Steve McCaffery's work, critical responses to it, and the theoretical milieu out of which McCaffery writes, to show that `formally investigative writing is not necessarily difficult,' that reading it can be great fun.
		McCaffery's writing is best served by a reader who can angle into it, appreciate its oblique precisions.
		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.

	Prior to Meaning, Steve McCaffery
		In essays that are wide ranging, richly detailed, and novel in their surprising juxtapositions of disparate material, Steve McCaffery works to undo the current bifurcation between theory and practice--to show how a poetic text might be the source rather than the product of the theoretical against which it must be read.
		"McCaffery gives us a sense of what learning would be like if it could free itself from the seminar room.

	Intimate Distortions
		Developing all the suggestions and connotations of Sappho's words and phrases, new texts are produced which are at the same time vital re-readings of the originals.
		Irreverent, yet executed in a spirit of love and respect, Intimate Distortions curves gracefully (and occasionally naughtily) away from the strict linear dictates of authorized translation to produce poems of delightful misprision.
		Although this experimental technique is exciting, too often he is held in thrall by connotations which amount to oblique and elliptical small change.

		I had, in fact, gotten the idea of cards in a box from an earlier Underwhich release by Steve Smith (who is now publicly Steven Ross Smith, to avoid confusion with proliferating namesakes in the literary field).
		Nichol and McCaffery financed it through funding grants to the Eleventh International Sound Poetry Festival held in Toronto in 1978, for which it served as the commemorative catalogue, with classy graphic and book design by Glenn Goluska.
		The book, far from comprehensive at the time (though fully representative) and now, of course, awfully out of date, is one of only a very few to be written on the subject and is, as far as I know, one of two available in English.

		In their visual works, and in the online re-presentation of those works, they raise questions about seeing and reading, the mark and the sign, circulation and distribution, and the meaning of "materiality" that seem crucial to thinking about new media poetries.
		McCaffery and Andrews both trouble the seeing-reading distinction in ways relevant for our thinking about digital poetry.
		Far more applicable to the poets discussed here are Ryan's opposing terms for electronic texts: "diversity," "chaos," "dialogism," "parallelism," "fluidity." The work of McCaffery, Andrews, Grenier, and Bernstein helps move the discussion and historicizing of new media poetries beyond such binary oppositions between the material attributes of print and electronic texts.
