From the website of Erica T. Carter:

We were delighted to be part of this august, if somewhat sick, crew of misfits at Brown University. Any apprehension we might have had that we were beginning to sell out simply evaporated in the comfort of their in-your-face, we-don’t-give-a-fuck approach to electronic writing and criticism. God bless their unbridled hearts! Undying thanks to Brian Kim Stefans and Robert Coover.
