Alan Sondheim (b. 1942) is a poet, critic, musician, artist and theorist, whose work has pursued the depths of cyberspace and the effects of the virtual on the real for the last 40 years. Since 1994 Sondheim has been producing his major work “The Internet Text,” which includes the sum total of his writing online. His website, alansondheim.org, presents the complexity of this project in a sprawling archive of remnants—a life in its minutia encoded in text, along with image, video, and sound. Writing Under: Selections from The Internet Text was published by West Virginia University Press in 2012.
