Joshua Burns's poems have charted at Cha, Handsome, and The Bakery. The themes have run the gamut from ekphrasis to loose sonnets to experimental drama. Poetry as the art of what is formally possible has remained the engine propelling his work. Thus Duchamp and Huang Yong Ping, insidiously mechanical artists, have been the influences pushing him most frequently. He has recently completed reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's Demons translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, Ryū Murakami's Audition translated by Ralph McCarthy, and Sōseki Natsume's I Am A Cat translated by Aiko Ito and Graeme Wilson.
