In Writing Surfaces, derek beaulieu and Lori Emerson present a collection of John Riddells work. Riddells poems and short stories are a remarkable mix of largely typewriterbased concrete poetry mixed with fiction and drawings. Riddells oeuvre fell out of popular attention, but it has recently garnered interest among poets and critics engaged with media studies (especially studies of the typewriter) and experimental writing.Riddell is best known for his short fiction pieces H and Pope Leo: El Elope, a pair of graphic fictions written in collaboration with, or dedicated to, bpNichol. However, his work moves well beyond comic strips into a series of radical fictions.Riddells work embraces game play, unreadability and illegibility, procedural work, nonrepresentational narrative, photocopy degeneration, collage, handwritten texts, and gestural work. His selfaware and metatextual short fiction challenges the limits of machinebased composition and his reception as a mediabased poet.With media studies increasingly turning to media archaeology and the reading and study of antiquated, analoguebased modes of composition (as typified by the photocopier and the fax machine as well as the typewriter), Riddell is a perfect candidate for further appreciation and study by new generations of readers, authors, and scholars.
