Author Description
Dylan Forsyth grew up in the Pacific Northwest where the bohemian writer dream first came to him reading the Beats (Ferlinghetti, Kerouac, Ginsberg) in his late teens (later he killed all of his juvenile idols (though never Ferlighetti)). Soon he found his way into French influences such as the Surrealists, Dada, the Decadents, the Symbolists, the Realists, and the Bouzingo, and on from there. One must always be interested in something, or else what's the point. He sees himself as an amateur, off-the-cuff subcultural art historian (from Romanticism to Posthumanism).
His first novel,
The Infinitists
, is a mashup of historical fiction and sci-fi—Cloud Atlas meets 1920s Paris meets Occupy Wall Street. His second,
Hypelandia
, is a fictional oral history of Old Portland, techno Berlin, and contemporary Detroit. His third and fourth works are embellished translations of Arthur Rimbaud and Édouard Levé—both qualifying as experimental memoirs.
His poetry and flash ficiton has appeared in lesser known experimental online magazines (Mannequin Haus, Literary Orphans)—some of which have sadly gone under (theNewerYork). He lives in Portland, Oregon where he is editor-in-chief of the experimental online magazine & publisher: 5th Wall Press—which technically hasn't gone under.
