Overview
Gordon is the co-publisher of Letter Machine Editions, an editor for The Volta, and an assistant professor in the MFA program in creative writing at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he currently directs Subito Press. He ran Braincase Press, and was a founding editor of the little magazine Baffling Combustions.
His recent books include The Year of the Rooster (Ahsahta Press, 2013), The Source (Futurepoem Books, 2011), Novel Pictorial Noise (Harper Perennial, 2007), and Inbox (BlazeVOX Books, 2006). His essays, reviews, creative nonfiction, criticism, and poetry appear widely, including journals such as Bookforum, Seneca Review, Boston Review, Fence, Hambone, and in the anthologies Postmodern American Poetry (W. W. Norton & Company, 2013), A Broken Thing: Poets on the Line (University of Iowa Press, 2011), Against Expression: An Anthology of Conceptual Writing (Northwestern University Press, 2011), Poets on Teaching (University of Iowa Press, 2010), and Burning Interiors: David Shapiro’s Poetry and Poetics (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2007). He was interviewed in the spring of 2007 by Rain Taxi, for whom he wrote a chapbook review column at the time.
Critic Michael Robbins, in his award-winning essay "Ripostes," published by Poetry Magazine, referred to Gordon's work as "simply dead — nonresponsive, flatlined, toe-tagged, rotting," while critic Stephen Burt, writing for The Nation, noted how Gordon's poetry, which he called "delightful," is "reacting to big modern systems, above all to the system called capitalism, whose results and failures seem inescapable."
