Lytle Shaw is a professor of English at NYU, as well as a Contributing Editor for Cabinet; the Founder and Co-editor of Shark, and the Founder and Curator of the Line Reading Series at The Drawing Centerwork. His work centers on postwar American poetry and art but frames it, at times, within histories that extend back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The author of Frank O’Hara: The Poetics of Coterie, Fieldworks: From Place to Site in Postwar Poetics, and the forthcoming Specimen Box, Shaw is interested in how texts and art objects mediate, transform, and disrupt (rather than simply “reflect”) the cultural and social possibilities of their moments. Shaw has edited an issue of the Irish arts and culture magazine Printed Project on the interdisciplinary legacy of conceptualism.
