The first set from my series of poems making use of language found in pre-1914 medical texts can now be read at Figure 1. While the idea behind the poetry has its roots in books so physical I can smell them and feel their pages near crumble, it was the Internet Archive that served as point of access to the texts I actually used. The importance of both digital and physical text to to this project says as much about embodiment now as the books themselves did about embodiment in the time when they were printed.
