Forewords:

writing aloud,
noise on the page,
dictionary disturbances,
permissible incoherence,
deterritorializing text,
subjectile languages,
screamscape studies,
salivaphile societies,
unlearning language,
becoming nobody,
interstitial maneuvers,
solipsistic transmissions,
taut lingual tendons,
varicosed hieroglyphs,
circles and spirals and spins,
definitional hazards,
unspeaking,
verbophonics,
tenses of anxiety,
the word silence is still a noise,
lettrist translation,
analphabetical censors,
gentlyfrantic pulse,
squid marks,
voiced strategies,
branch breaths,
imperceptible,
words that put a stop to language,
stutter poets,
exit on the way in,
dialogues on one foot,
marathon monologues,
writing the loud,
consonant echoes,
aloud allowed.
