Biography: 

Thylias Moss, winner of many literary prizes including a MacArthur Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship, has published ten books, most recently Tokyo Butter, a collection of print poams. She also makes video, sound, and three-dimensional poams (products of acts of making). Her work has appeared in print and online journals, film festivals, art galleries, the forkergirl you tube channel, and Limited Fork podcasts. She teaches and learns Limited Fork Theory (the study of interacting systems) in the Department of English and the School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, and maintains two course-related blogs in support of forked thinking: Limited Fork Theory Atlas and Limited Fork Theory Development Practicum. She is a very happy Proforker even as intellectual, political, and meteorological climates change.
